Benahavís has 44 new developments on our books. They start at €400,000 and reach €10,900,000, with a median starting price of €3,822,500. That spread is the whole story of the town: it is not one market, it is two, and the second one is hidden behind the first.

The entry market: apartments and townhouses
Below roughly a million euros, Benahavís behaves like the rest of the coast — gated communities, communal pools, two and three bedrooms. The difference is the setting: the town sits in a valley behind the coast road, so the views are green rather than sea, and the drive to Puerto Banús is fifteen to twenty minutes.
- From €400,000 — 2–3 bedrooms, 78–128 m².
- €549,000 to €810,000 — 2–3 bedrooms, 103–127 m².
- €830,000 to €1,520,000 — 2–4 bedrooms, 103–217 m².
The upper market: plots, privacy, gates
Above three million the town stops being a village and becomes an address. The villas here are sold on plot size and privacy rather than square metres of interior — the five most expensive developments on our books are all six-bedroom homes between 806 and 1,309 m² of built area, from €7.9m to €10.9m.
- €7,900,000 — 6 bedrooms, 806 m².
- €8,900,000 — 6 bedrooms, 908 m².
- €10,900,000 — 6 bedrooms, 1,309 m².
Where inside Benahavís
The town includes several distinct areas, and the price difference between them is larger than the difference between towns. La Zagaleta and El Madroñal sit at the top of the scale, gated and with their own security. La Quinta and Los Flamingos are golf-focused and more accessible. The village itself and the road towards San Pedro hold the entry level.
Frequently asked questions
Is Benahavís expensive?
On the median, yes — €3,822,500 against €1,700,000 in Marbella. But it also has 5 developments starting below €1m, so the town overlaps with the rest of the coast at the bottom and separates from it at the top.
Do I need a car?
Yes. Benahavís is inland from the A-7, and nothing here is walkable to the beach. Buyers who want to walk to restaurants choose Marbella or San Pedro instead.
What does €1m buy in Benahavís?
A two or three bedroom apartment or townhouse in a gated community, typically 100–180 m². A villa at that price is rare and usually older stock rather than a new development.
