Vitae Villas

Vitae Villas is a collection of five contemporary villas inside the gated Monte Mayor Country Club estate, high in the hills of Benahavís. It suits buyers who want real distance from the coast without losing it. Marbella and Puerto Banús are a short drive below, yet up here the loudest sound is the wind moving through the Mediterranean forest. The one villa currently available is priced at €4,400,000, with five to six bedrooms over three levels and completion due in December 2026.

The architecture earned the project pages in Elle Decoration and Résidences Décoration. Long, low volumes follow the slope. Their roofs are planted with native species from the valley, so from above the houses almost dissolve into the hillside. Floor-to-ceiling glass pulls light into an open living room warmed by a double chimney. A lift links every floor.

The principal suite shares the main level with the kitchen, while three guest suites sit below beside an entertainment room and a lounge terrace with its own outdoor kitchen and bar. Outside, natural timber decks lead to an infinity pool tiled in dark green, so the water reads as part of the valley rather than a blue rectangle laid on top of it.

One caveat. The listing quotes built areas of 1,277 to 1,309 m², yet a sister villa was marketed elsewhere at 539 m², so we would verify plans and surfaces before any reservation. The pricing context is still telling. Four five- and six-bedroom resale villas nearby are asking between €6,695,000 and €11,950,000.
