Villa for sale in Benahavís

Vista Lago Residences - Real de la Quinta, Benahavís At 365 meters above the coastline, within the two hundred hectare Real de la Quinta estate in Benahavís, lies Vista Lago Residences: a collection of eighteen individually designed villas set around a private lake of thirty six thousand square meters, complete with its own artificial beach. Developed by BRIGHT and designed by UDesign, the project won both World's Best Residential Development and Best Architecture in Europe at the International Property Awards, a recognition rarely achieved by a new build project on the Costa del Sol. Each of the eighteen villas is individually designed, shaped to the estate's sloping terrain, with plot sizes ranging from just over eleven hundred to more than ten thousand square meters. Built areas vary between roughly five hundred and seven hundred ten square meters, complemented by terraces between thirty eight and one hundred forty nine square meters, and three to five en suite bedrooms per villa. Of the eighteen villas, fourteen have already been sold; the remaining four are being delivered in phases, with the next villas scheduled for the third quarter of 2026. UDesign's signature is immediately recognizable: disappearing, frameless sliding walls dissolve the boundary between indoors and out entirely, so every villa benefits from a panoramic view stretching across the lake, the golf courses, the mountains and, on clear days, even the coast of Africa. For finishes, the project draws on established suppliers such as Modulnova for the custom Italian kitchens, Keller Minimal Windows for the frameless glazing, Hansgrohe for water saving bathroom fixtures and Saloni for the ceramic tiles. Sustainability runs through the entire project: Vista Lago Residences targets BREEAM Excellent certification with an A energy rating, supported by solar panels, recycled irrigation water and endemic Mediterranean planting, making it one of the first BREEAM certified developments on the Costa del Sol. Within the estate, residents enjoy an extensive package of shared facilities: an executive golf course designed by Manuel Piñero, a wellness center with a twenty five meter heated pool, aquagym, spa, sauna and massage rooms, professional tennis and padel courts, a kids' club, its own equestrian center and walking and cycling paths around the lake. The resort will also welcome the first hotel from Banyan Tree Group in Spain, further underscoring Real de la Quinta's status as an international destination. Each individual villa also comes with its own infinity pool, a generous private garden, a garage for two to three vehicles and, depending on the model, its own wellness area with a heated indoor pool, sauna or cinema room. Underfloor heating, home automation and automatic irrigation come as standard. Real de la Quinta borders a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve and sits between Sierra Blanca and La Zagaleta Golf & Country Club, around fifteen minutes from Puerto Banús, Marbella center and the beach, with international schools such as Aloha College within twenty minutes. Málaga Airport is, depending on the route taken, between thirty five and fifty minutes away. With asking prices between 6,995,000 and 9,995,000 euros for the remaining villas, Vista Lago Residences positions itself as one of the most awarded and ‌rare ‌new ‌build ‌developments in ‌the ‌region, ‌aimed ‌at buyers ‌looking ‌to ‌combine scale, ‌design, ‌sustainability and ‌a ‌fully private estate with ‌its ‌own ‌lake ‌within ‌a ‌single ‌address.
