Vitae Villas: new build villas in Monte Mayor, Benahavís
Five bedroom homes · Under construction
from €3,950,000Before IVA
Five bedroom villas being built on the wooded hillside of Monte Mayor, in the hills above Benahavís. Each sits on its own plot with an infinity pool and views over the valley, from €3,950,000.
The lowest-priced home, a five-bedroom villa, works out at €7,328 per built square metre. Benahavís asking prices average €5,413 a square metre on idealista for 2026, a figure spread across apartments, townhouses and older villas in the valley. A new villa on a two thousand square metre plot with its own infinity pool is priced on its own terms, and its terraces add as much again to the space you live in. The price table for the area is on the Marbella & the Golden Mile page.
What is being built
Vitae Villas is a group of five contemporary villas in Monte Mayor, a gated estate of more than 330 hectares beside a protected nature reserve in the hills of Benahavís. The villas follow the slope in long, curved lines, with planted roofs and walls of glass opening onto deep covered terraces. Each has five bedrooms with their own bathrooms, a garage for two cars and an infinity pool, on plots of 2,000 square metres and more.

The two villas listed here are both under construction, with the first due to finish in December 2026 and the second in spring 2027. A reservation of €50,000 is followed by stage payments of 30%, 20% and 20% as the structure, the shell and the inside walls are completed, and the final 30% when the licence to occupy is granted and the deed is signed.
With a villa this close to completion, my work is visiting the site with you, checking each stage before its payment is released, and going through the finished house against the specification before the final payment.
Get in touch and I will talk you through it. Buying with me sets out how I work.
