El Madroñal

What is the essence of a luxury Marbella home? Spectacular views in a natural environment? Or proximity to Puerto Banús and Marbella, taking advantage of the enviable lifestyle this most glamorous of resorts has to offer? What if you could find a combination of all these factors? If this sounds too good to be true, we would like to introduce you to El Madroñal!

El Madroñal, the Luxury of Living in the Heart of Nature

Only 19 kilometres separate El Madroñal from the centre of Marbella, a distance that takes less than 30 minutes by car and offers the chance to live amidst nature.

Slow life and quiet luxury are two lifestyles very much in vogue, often going hand in hand, and in El Madroñal they find the perfect destination; this residential area is the ideal place to enjoy the true privilege of living in the heart of nature.
At the gateway to the Sierra de las Nieves, one of the most important natural areas in Andalusia, is located this prestigious and sought-after private residential area. Pines, cork oaks, rockroses, and lavenders bring life to this unique enclave frequented by deer, wild goats, or wild boars. A changing scene, which finds its maximum splendour in spring.

Situated about 400 metres above sea level, El Madroñal offers panoramic views of the surrounding mountains and the Marbella coastline that even allow one to spot the Rock of Gibraltar and the highest peaks of North Africa on clear days.
Watching the sunrise from a majestic villa in this privileged corner of the Costa del Sol is a true pleasure for the senses,” states Javier Nieto, CEO of Pure Living Properties.

A Private and Secure Residential Area

El Madroñal, located in the municipality of Benahavís opposite La Zagaleta and next to La Heredia, is a private residential complex of just over 200 hectares comprised of impressive luxury villas. It has six access-controlled entries and a significant security system that operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Privacy is also guaranteed in this enclave away from any hustle and bustle, accessible only to property owners and their family and friends, or workers during the established hours.
