The project is one of a private collection set in the prestigious gated community of La Reserva de Alcuzcuz in Benahavís — a peaceful natural setting between forest and sea, just minutes from Marbella and Puerto Banús. The villa is positioned where the forest opens onto the landscape, naturally integrated into a gentle south-facing hillside. Arranged across three levels on a 3,000 m² plot, the residence proposes a constant connection between architecture, light, and nature. On the main floor, a spacious living, dining, and kitchen area opens onto four terraces and two porches that extend the interior spaces outdoors. The main kitchen is complemented by a separate service kitchen and two pantries, while two en-suite bedrooms are discreetly positioned on this level alongside the entrance hall, dressing room, and guest WC. The 75 m² swimming pool, conceived as a serene extension of the architecture, incorporates an integrated technical area beneath its surface, as well as changing and storage facilities beside the pool. Upstairs, the principal suite shares the level with two additional en-suite bedrooms and a living area that opens onto a covered porch with panoramic views of the landscape and the sea. The layout encourages privacy and visual continuity between indoor and outdoor spaces. The lower level discreetly integrates the garage, laundry room, storage, and service areas, maintaining the architectural clarity and serenity of the residence. A private lift connects all levels seamlessly. The villa proposes a continuous indoor-outdoor lifestyle, where the contemporary architecture of Tobal Arquitectos coexists in harmony with the natural surroundings. Expansive glazed surfaces, noble materials, and open spaces allow natural light and the landscape to become part of the everyday living experience. Set within one of the Costa del Sol’s most private and elevated communities, this villa is designed for a life defined by calm, space, and connection with nature — with Marbella, golf courses, and the Mediterranean always within close reach.
