Marbella Club Golf Resort, Benahavis
Refined Country Club Living with Marbella Club Heritage
Marbella Club Golf Resort is one of the most established and discreet residential estates in Benahavís, offering a countryside lifestyle shaped by the values of privacy, space, and understated elegance. Developed under the Marbella Club philosophy, the resort represents a natural extension of Marbella’s luxury lifestyle into a lower-density, nature-led environment.
At LuxuryForSale.Properties, Marbella Club Golf Resort is considered a core pillar within the prime real estate landscape linking Marbella’s coastline with the exclusive hills of Benahavís.
Location Between Marbella and Benahavís
Set in the hills above the Costa del Sol, Marbella Club Golf Resort enjoys a privileged position approximately 15 minutes from Marbella town, the Golden Mile, Puente Romano, and Puerto Banús. This proximity allows residents to remain closely connected to Marbella’s social and cultural life while enjoying the calm and privacy of a countryside estate.
The resort sits naturally between several of the region’s most sought-after residential areas, including Sierra Blanca, Nueva Andalucía’s Golf Valley, Los Flamingos, El Madroñal, and La Zagaleta. For buyers familiar with these locations, Marbella Club Golf Resort offers a quieter, more intimate alternative without sacrificing access or prestige.
A Low-Density Residential Estate
Unlike higher-density coastal developments, Marbella Club Golf Resort is defined by generous plot sizes, panoramic views, and strict planning regulations. Villas are positioned to preserve privacy and maximise views across the Mediterranean Sea, Gibraltar, and the surrounding mountains.
This structure appeals particularly to buyers transitioning from Golden Mile or Sierra Blanca villas who are seeking more land, open space, and long-term residential stability while remaining close to Marbella.
Golf and Country Club Lifestyle
The estate is anchored by a private 18-hole championship golf course designed by Dave Thomas. The golf club reflects the Marbella Club ethos: elegant, understated, and focused on quality rather than volume.
In addition to golf, the resort features a respected equestrian centre and extensive natural surroundings, reinforcing its country club character. This lifestyle aligns it with other elite Benahavís estates such as La Zagaleta and El Madroñal, while offering easier access to Marbella’s beaches, restaurants, and services.
Real Estate Profile and Buyer Appeal
Real estate within Marbella Club Golf Resort consists exclusively of villas and plots, many featuring large gardens, infinity pools, and contemporary architecture adapted to the landscape. The combination of Marbella Club branding, limited supply, and controlled development supports strong long-term value and demand.
Buyers are typically international families, second-home owners, and investors seeking privacy, security, and a refined residential environment with reliable capital preservation.
Position Within Marbella’s Prime Location Network
Marbella Club Golf Resort does not compete with Marbella’s prime areas—it complements them. It is often explored alongside Golden Mile beachfront properties, golf-front homes in Nueva Andalucía, resort residences in Los Flamingos, and ultra-secure estates in La Zagaleta. Its role is to offer a balanced alternative rooted in space, nature, and heritage.
