Villa Alqueria Golf | 5-Bedroom Villa with Private Pool in Benahavis

Ten guests arriving at Villa Alqueria Golf step into one of Costa del Sol’s most commanding contemporary residences—a five-storey architectural statement that overlooks the Atalaya Golf & Country Club, one of Spain’s oldest championship courses, and commands panoramic sightlines across the Mediterranean. This luxury villa rental in Marbella sits within the exclusive gated community of La Alqueria, approximately 10 kilometres from the glamorous Puerto Banus marina, positioning itself as both a retreat and a gateway to Spain’s most vibrant coastal lifestyle.

Inside Villa Alqueria Golf

Villa Alqueria Golf sleeps 10 guests across 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms, distributed across three distinct living levels that create separation between social gathering spaces and intimate sleeping quarters. Ground floor entry reveals a double-height open-plan living zone flooded with southern light—an expanse where sofas anchor around low tables, while a contemporary kitchen equipped with full catering facilities opens onto the main terrace. An adjoining eight-seat dining area accommodates group meals, and a study desk provides workspace for those who travel with work demands.

The master bedroom occupies the upper floor in its own wing, featuring a king-size bed, dressing room with full-length cabinetry, a smart television, and an en-suite bathroom with both soaking bathtub and oversized walk-in shower overlooking the manicured gardens below. Two additional first-floor bedrooms—one with a king bed, one with a queen—each command their own en-suite shower rooms and sightlines across the grounds. The lower ground floor holds two further queen-bedded suites with walk-in showers, alongside a fully equipped gymnasium, steam room, and media room where a pool table and cinema-grade seating provide evening entertainment options.

Throughout the villa, underfloor heating activates during cooler months, while air-conditioning maintains comfort across the summer heat. High-speed Wi-Fi reaches every room, and satellite television broadcasts international channels. Practical amenities include a full-size washer and dryer, dishwasher, espresso machine, and DVD player. A security system with CCTV monitors both interior and perimeter, while a dedicated villa manager and on-call concierge service coordinate reservations, maintenance, and any requests during your stay.

Outdoor Spaces and Living

The outdoor realm at Villa Alqueria Golf extends across manicured grounds that function as an outdoor living estate. A superlatively long heated swimming pool anchors the primary terrace, ringed by deep-cushioned sun loungers that invite afternoon meditation. A covered veranda hosts soft seating and morning coffee tables, while a separate dining pavilion accommodates eight guests for alfresco meals prepared at an integrated outdoor kitchen and barbecue setup. The chill-out lounge—a shaded retreat with plush seating—overlooks both the pool and the golf fairways beyond.

A children’s playground occupies a dedicated corner of the grounds, complete with equipment for younger guests, while a mobility-assisted pool access hoist ensures accessibility for guests with movement considerations. Mature Mediterranean plantings provide natural screening, creating private micro-zones within the overall terrace landscape. The southern exposure means the pool area receives continuous daylight from early morning through late afternoon, while the veranda’s shade structure provides respite during peak heat hours. Off-property parking accommodates two vehicles within a secure garage, and additional street parking exists within the gated development.

Location: Marbella and the Surrounding Area

Villa Alqueria Golf occupies the private La Alqueria development in Marbella, placing guests at the geographical heart of Costa del Sol’s most sophisticated coastal strip. The Atalaya Golf & Country Club—which borders the villa’s eastern boundary—ranks among Spain’s most established 18-hole championship courses, offering immediate access for golf enthusiasts without requiring travel. Puerto Banus lies 10 kilometres south, a purpose-built marina resort famous internationally for luxury yacht berthing, Michelin-starred dining, and designer retail that rivals Monaco’s Port Hercule.

The nearest beaches cluster along Puerto Banus itself—Playa Arenal and Playa Don Carlos offer Blue Flag status, sandy swimming in crystalline water, and established beach clubs serving Mediterranean cuisine from morning coffee through sunset cocktails. For a more tranquil experience, drive 15 kilometres west to the cove beaches near Estepona, where smaller family-oriented strands and fishing villages provide authentic coastal character without the marina bustle.

Marbella’s old town—Casco Antiguo—sits 7 kilometres north and rewards exploration: narrow cobbled streets wind past whitewashed townhouses, the Plaza de los Naranjos (Orange Tree Square) hosts morning markets selling regional produce and artisan goods, and the Iglesia de Santa María de la Encarnación dates to the Renaissance. For cultural day trips, the hilltop village of Ronda, 50 kilometres inland, presents dramatic gorge views and a centuries-old bullring; the whitewashed pueblos blancos of Mijas, just 30 kilometres north, offer mountain vistas and pottery workshops; and the Sierra de las Nieves National Park provides hiking trails through cork forests and Mediterranean scrubland.

Dining culture reaches exceptional levels: beachfront restaurants in Puerto Banus specialise in fresh fish and shellfish, inland tapas bars in Marbella’s old town serve regional jamón ibérico and gazpacho, and Michelin-listed establishments throughout the region cater to international palates. Wednesday morning markets in Marbella sell local produce, cheese, and olives at village prices despite the resort surroundings.

Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport—serving international flights from across Europe—sits 65 kilometres south, approximately 45 minutes by road transfer. The Costa del Sol enjoys 320 days of annual sunshine; summer months (June-August) deliver consistent 28-30°C temperatures but peak tourist crowds; May and September offer identical heat with significantly fewer visitors and lower accommodation rates; winter (December-February) brings 15-18°C daytime temperatures, occasional rain, and maximum solitude for those seeking contemplative travel.

Who This Villa Suits Best

Villa Alqueria Golf accommodates multigenerational families—the ground-floor bedroom-and-bathroom configuration allows elderly or mobility-limited guests independent access without stair negotiation, while the children’s playground and pool provide safe entertainment for younger members. The villa’s scale suits executive group retreats: the study space, Wi-Fi infrastructure, and villa manager support professional productivity, while the separate entertainment areas (media room, pool table, dining pavilion) allow flexible scheduling for mixed business and leisure agendas.

Golf-focused travel parties find the adjacent Atalaya course an immediate advantage, eliminating transit time and allowing early tee-time participation. Couples seeking privacy appreciate the separated upper-floor master suite and the generously sized outdoor terraces, which permit simultaneous socialising and solitude. Friend groups or extended family celebrating milestone events—anniversaries, retirements, 21st birthdays—benefit from the 10-person capacity and diverse indoor/outdoor entertainment options without requiring multiple properties.
