Benahavís
A peaceful mountain oasis with breathtaking nature
A sunny valley between the mountains and the sea
Benahavís is a calm and elegant village nestled in the green hills between Marbella and Estepona. Thanks to its mountain location, it enjoys a unique microclimate and an atmosphere that feels soothing — quiet, peaceful, with panoramas you never want to leave. Life moves more slowly here, and every day feels like a small escape into nature, even though you’re only a few minutes’ drive from the coast.
Gastronomy renowned across the entire coast
Benahavís is known as the “dining room of the Costa del Sol” — and it’s no exaggeration. The center is filled with excellent restaurants serving traditional meat dishes, fresh fish, and modern Andalusian cuisine. In the evening, the narrow streets are filled with the scent of grilled dishes, garlic, and herbs, making the whole village feel like one big open-air dining room with a friendly atmosphere.
A golfing epicenter in a valley of greenery
The surroundings of Benahavís belong to the most exclusive golf areas in Europe. Here you’ll find iconic resorts such as La Quinta, Los Arqueros, El Higueral, and the Marbella Club Golf Resort. The courses wind through hills, canyons, and olive groves, giving every player the feeling of playing in the middle of a picturesque natural landscape.
Nature that soothes body and mind
Lush greenery, canyons, streams, and mountain trails make Benahavís one of the greenest places on the entire coastline. The area is perfect for hiking, trail running, canyoning, or family walks through beautiful countryside. Wherever you go, nature is always within reach.
History and landmarks carved into the rocks
The village has preserved its original character — white houses, narrow streets, and old squares. Just above the town lie the remains of the Moorish castle Castillo de Montemayor, offering stunning views of the sea and the entire coastline. Benahavís feels authentic, quietly historical, and pleasantly traditional.
