Madroñal View - Villa Hope, El Madroñal
Perched above the coastline of Benahavís, within the gated hills of El Madroñal, Villa Hope stands as one of the most ambitious new build homes on the Costa del Sol right now. Part of the exclusive Madroñal View development, this villa was conceived for buyers who want more than square meters, they want a setting, a view, and a level of privacy that is genuinely hard to find anywhere else on this coast.
El Madroñal itself has a reputation that precedes it. Once a private hunting estate, it has grown into one of the most sought after gated communities in Benahavís, prized for its pine covered hills, its controlled access, and views that stretch across the golf valley and the Mediterranean toward Gibraltar and the coast of Africa on a clear day. From here, Nueva Andalucía, Puerto Banús and San Pedro de Alcántara are all a short drive away, and some of the best golf courses on the coast sit right on the doorstep.
Villa Hope sits on a plot of almost 3,760 square meters, with a built area of just over 1,100 square meters spread across three floors. The villa has six bedrooms and seven bathrooms, and every room has been positioned to make the most of its southwest facing views over the sea, the golf course and the mountains beyond. The ground floor holds two en suite bedrooms, each with its own private terrace. Upstairs, the master suite takes up a wing of its own, with a walk in wardrobe, spa style en suite bathroom, private terrace, and its own office and library, alongside two further en suite bedrooms with terraces.
At the center of the home is a double height kitchen and living space that opens straight onto the terraces, blurring the line between indoors and out. The villa is equipped with four separate kitchens, a main kitchen, a service kitchen, a staff kitchen and an outdoor kitchen, giving owners the flexibility to entertain on any scale without ever feeling crowded. A self contained staff apartment, complete with its own kitchen, living area and bathroom, rounds out a layout built for families who want extra help on hand.
The lower level is where Villa Hope really sets itself apart, with a wine cellar, a home cinema, a bar, a spa with an indoor heated pool, a fully equipped gym, a billiards and lounge area, and a multipurpose room that can be adapted to whatever the owner needs. Outside, the villa continues in the same spirit, with a floating infinity pool and jacuzzi, a separate heated pool, mature landscaped gardens, a fire pit terrace and an outdoor kitchen built around a barbecue. Several dining and lounge areas are spread across the grounds, so there is always somewhere in the sun or the shade, whatever the season calls for.
Technology has been built into the home rather than added on top. A full home automation system controlled from a phone, electric windows, an alarm system and video entry phone all come as standard, and the private garage accommodates several cars with additional parking and an EV charging point on top. El Madroñal as a whole is a gated and secured community with controlled access, giving residents a level of privacy that is increasingly rare this close to Marbella.
What sets Villa Hope apart is not any single feature but the way it all comes together. This is a home that feels expansive in its proportions and its views, yet still manages to feel personal, thanks to a layout that has clearly been thought through room by room rather than assembled from a checklist. The architecture leans into light, height and the surrounding landscape, so the inside and outside of the house never really stop talking to each other.
For buyers looking for a new build villa in Benahavís that brings together privacy, views, security and easy access to golf, beaches and nightlife, Villa Hope at Madroñal View is a rare find. It is a home built for people who expect the best and intend to live that way every day.
