Vitae Villas

Monte Mayor is a gated country club estate in the hills above Benahavís, low in density, guarded around the clock and generous enough with its plots that neighbours become a distant idea rather than a daily presence. Vitae Villas is a group of five contemporary homes built within it and one remains available: five to six bedrooms over three levels, 1,277 to 1,309 m² of built area, priced at €3,950,000 with completion set for December 2026.

The architecture follows the mountain rather than flattening it. Long horizontal volumes step down the slope, floor-to-ceiling glazing opens onto covered terraces of natural wood and the infinity pool is finished in dark green tile so the water reads as a continuation of the valley below.

Views run to the Mediterranean, the valley floor and the old Monte Mayor castle. Inside, a lift serves every level.

Much of what distinguishes the project sits in the fabric.

Water-retaining green roofs planted with species taken from the surrounding valley, internal garden patios that pull air through the house on the thermal chimney principle, calculated overhangs shading the high summer sun while admitting the low winter one, solar panels above and Daikin Altherma climate control with underfloor heating below.
