Penthouse in Benahavís

A palette of warm whites, natural wood and stone defines the interior. Marazzi Bianco 60 x 60 flooring runs through the principal spaces, complemented by Orac Decor skirting and decorative coving that introduce subtle architectural detailing. Integrated Bridgelux COB lighting and recessed spotlights have been used to create a carefully considered lighting scheme, while Jung LS990 matt-white switches and sockets maintain the clean aesthetic throughout the residence.

At the centre of the living space, the bespoke wooden kitchen has been designed as part of the room rather than as a separate functional area. A Marazzi Capraia worktop incorporates the sink and is paired with a Hansgrohe tap, continuing the natural material palette used throughout the penthouse. The appliance specification includes a Siemens iQ500 oven and microwave together with an induction hob, while the Bosch fridge-freezer and dishwasher are fully integrated to preserve the streamlined cabinetry.

The three-bedroom configuration provides flexibility for both permanent family living and visiting guests. The master bedroom benefits from a private en-suite bathroom, complemented by a second full bathroom and a separate guest toilet. Bespoke vanity cabinetry continues the attention to joinery found elsewhere in the home, with Marazzi surfaces and Bianco Luz wall finishes creating visual continuity. Anti-slip Capraia flooring has been selected for the shower areas, accompanied by Imex Moscú stainless-steel taps and rain shower systems and soft-close Roca sanitary fittings.

Practical requirements have been incorporated discreetly into the renovation. A dedicated laundry room is equipped with a Bosch washing machine and Bosch heat-pump tumble dryer, with a Silestone Royal Reef worktop providing additional functional space. Together with the property's separate storage room and two garage spaces, these features make the property particularly suitable for extended stays and year-round use rather than functioning solely as a holiday property.

Outdoor living becomes a defining part of the residence. Terraces connected directly to the main living areas provide additional space for dining and relaxation, with Mallorca pebble stone detailing incorporated into the exterior design. These spaces create an easy transition between the interior and outdoors while offering different areas to enjoy throughout the day.

Above the main residence, the expansive private rooftop solarium significantly extends the usable living space. Finished in natural travertine, it has been conceived as a complete outdoor entertaining level rather than a conventional roof terrace. The layout provides dedicated areas for cooking, dining, relaxing and entertaining, allowing the rooftop to function as an extension of the home throughout much of the year.

A fully equipped outdoor kitchen incorporates a four-burner Beefeater barbecue, Klarstein refrigerator and Venice Slim sink, complemented by a traditional wood-fired pizza oven. An Imex Utah stainless-steel outdoor shower adds convenience, while a Pureline bioethanol fireplace creates a focal point for the lounge area and makes the terrace equally appealing during cooler evenings. The combination of generous proportions and permanent cooking facilities gives the rooftop a level of functionality rarely found in a conventional penthouse terrace.

Gazules del Sol is an established gated residential community in Atalaya with 24-hour security and landscaped communal areas. Residents have access to several outdoor swimming pools as well as an indoor heated pool, allowing swimming and exercise throughout the year. A private gym and paddle tennis facilities add further sporting options within the development itself, making the community particularly practical for both permanent residents and second-home owners.

Atalaya combines established residential developments and detached villas with convenient access to everyday amenities and the coastline. Shops, cafés and a pharmacy can be reached nearby, while Atalaya International School provides an important advantage for families considering the penthouse as a permanent residence. The surrounding area has developed into a well-connected residential district while retaining a quieter atmosphere than the busier coastal centres.

Golf is an important part of the local lifestyle. Atalaya Golf & Country Club is one of the closest established clubs, while El Paraíso Golf Club and Real Club de Golf Guadalmina provide further options within convenient driving distance. The beaches, restaurants and commercial areas around Guadalmina and San Pedro de Alcántara are also easily accessible, allowing residents to combine a quieter residential setting with convenient access to the coast.
