Benahavís is not a coastal town. It is a white village in the hills, surrounded by golf courses and gated villa communities, ten minutes from Puerto Banús and San Pedro. Buying here means choosing privacy and space over walking distance to the beach.
Below you will find the current listings in Benahavís. A large share of the villas in this area are traded off-market, so what you see here is not always the full picture.
