About this property
Villa Amara is an eight-bedroom, eight-bathroom villa in El Herrojo, Benahavis, with 958 m² of built space on a 3,631 m² plot, priced at €9.98M. At this scale it suits a buyer who needs genuine room for a large family or regular guests without compromise on finish, and the El Herrojo address places it within one of the area's more established gated communities rather than a newer development.
The image shows a two-storey structure that blends white render with natural stone columns and terracotta roof detailing — a contemporary take on Andalusian architecture rather than a purely minimalist build. Full-height sliding glass doors across the ground floor dissolve the boundary between interior living areas and the covered terrace, where a shaded outdoor dining space sits alongside an open lounge area with mountain views visible in the background. A second covered terrace on the upper floor, framed by glass balustrades, appears to face the same southerly orientation. The pool is large and rectangular, set into a pale stone surround with a shallow entry shelf, and the garden is laid to manicured lawn on both sides of the pool deck.
El Herrojo sits within the broader La Quinta area of Benahavis, a municipality consistently rated among the highest in Spain for quality of life and green space. The location puts residents within a short drive of La Quinta Golf, the restaurants of Benahavis village, and the coastal amenities of Puerto Banús and Marbella.
