Hans Beeckman review
My review of VILLA LYRA concerns a new-build villa in a gated community in Benahavís with sea views.
On this terrace, you quickly find out whether overlooking neighbours keeps drawing your eye or whether you can genuinely relax, with the sliding doors close by and enough room for breakfast outdoors. VILLA LYRA in Benahavís is a single home with 596.00 m² of built space, 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms plus a guest toilet. The asking price is €3,495,000, at €5,864 per built m².
Anyone looking here is no longer assessing a mix; they are assessing this one home on its own merits. Inside, the layout needs to work on ordinary mornings: doors open, everyone having their own space, and bathrooms that do not create a queue. Outside, the surrounding lifestyle matters too, from a quiet walk around Benahavís to coming home without the terrace feeling like a stage.
The price list does not state the terrace area. We therefore do not calculate a price per weighted m² or compare this home with a weighted market benchmark. Missing area is not treated as zero. Resales gives an estimated delivery period of 24–33 months without specifying when that period starts. Obtain written confirmation of the starting point and schedule for this villa.

Project analysis
VILLA LYRA is a new-build villa in a gated community with sea views in Benahavís. Extensive glazing connects the living spaces with the landscaped private garden, pool and covered terraces.
VILLA LYRA is positioned within Monte Mayor, an established gated community in Benahavís known for low-density planning, large private plots and 24-hour security. The setting is shaped by green hills and Mediterranean landscape, giving the villa a notably private and composed character rather than a town-centre lifestyle.
Contemporary architecture is expressed through clean lines, generous internal volumes, large glazed surfaces and glass balustrades. These elements are designed to connect the interiors with the surrounding garden, mountain landscape and open sea views while drawing natural light into the rooms.
Outdoor living is central to the concept. Covered and private terraces lead to outdoor lounge areas, while the private landscaped garden and swimming pool extend the usable living space beyond the house. In our assessment, the combination of plot scale, controlled community access and broad views is VILLA LYRA's clearest differentiator for buyers seeking discretion in the Benahavís hills.
A private rhythm between hills and coast
Life at VILLA LYRA is oriented around space and separation from the busier coastal strip. The Monte Mayor address offers a residential setting surrounded by greenery, with sea, mountain, panoramic and garden views providing a changing backdrop to daily routines.
Large windows bring the outlook into the two-level interior, while the transition to terraces makes it easy to move between indoor living, outdoor dining and quieter time beside the pool. The design emphasis is on light, privacy and a continuous relationship with the plot.
This is a home for buyers who value calm and room to retreat, while still wanting access by car to golf, shops, restaurants and beaches. The trade-off is equally clear: everyday errands and the coast are driving journeys, so the location suits a car-based lifestyle better than a walk-everywhere routine.
Designed for indoor-outdoor living
The main living areas open towards spacious terraces and outdoor lounge spaces, creating a natural flow from the interior to the private garden. A swimming pool forms a focal point within this outdoor setting.
Inside, expansive glazing, double glazing and en-suite bathroom accommodation support a contemporary layout that prioritises light and privacy. Covered terraces, private terraces and a storage room add practical flexibility to the home.
The landscaped private garden and private parking complete a self-contained villa setting, with gated access and 24-hour security within Monte Mayor.

Price and property context
It is a new-construction villa in the Monte Mayor urbanisation in Benahavís.
For buyers comparing homes at this level, the key value drivers are likely to be the large private plot, gated community setting with 24-hour security, private pool and the verified sea, mountain, panoramic and garden views.
Living in Monte Mayor, Benahavís
Monte Mayor is a gated residential community in Benahavís, set among Mediterranean landscape and green hills. Its low-density planning and large plots support a more private residential atmosphere.
VILLA LYRA is close to golf, shops and schools in the wider area, but its hillside position means that practical daily destinations are reached by car. Mini Market El Cortijo is 10.3 km away, around 19 minutes by car.
The address balances seclusion with regional access: Marbella, Puerto Banús, beach clubs, dining and international schools are part of the wider Costa del Sol offer, while the home itself remains in a quieter inland setting.
Regional connections
From VILLA LYRA, Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport is approximately 77.1 km away, with a calculated driving time of about 63 minutes via the fastest computed route. Source: Google Routes, calculated from the project location on 2026-10-02, without live traffic data. Actual travel times may vary.

Who may VILLA LYRA suit?
In our view, VILLA LYRA is a credible match for buyers seeking a substantial contemporary home with a private plot and a more secluded Benahavís setting. The four-bedroom layout and two-level arrangement can work well for a family, regular guests or buyers who want room for distinct day-to-day zones.
It should also appeal to purchasers who place high value on controlled access and privacy. Monte Mayor's gated setting and 24-hour security, together with the villa's private garden, pool and parking, create a self-contained residential proposition.
View-led buyers may find the combination of sea, mountain, panoramic and garden views especially compelling. The design's large glazed surfaces and terraces make these outlooks a meaningful part of the home's planned experience.
Buyers who prefer immediate access to shops, restaurants or the beach should compare this location with more central or coastal alternatives. VILLA LYRA is better suited to those comfortable driving for daily amenities and coastal leisure.
Comparing the Benahavís hills with the coast
The coastal trade-off is convenience. Beaches, everyday shops and restaurants are reached by car, whereas a central coastal project may reduce travel for those priorities. Buyers should weigh the appeal of Monte Mayor's privacy and landscape against their preferred daily rhythm.

Frequently asked questions
Why consider VILLA LYRA for your shortlist?
VILLA LYRA is a new-build villa in a gated community with sea views in Benahavís. It includes a landscaped private garden, swimming pool and outdoor lounge areas.
How many homes are still available at VILLA LYRA?
According to the Resales Online price list dated 2026-10-02, one home is available.
How far is the beach from VILLA LYRA?
Playa del Sol Villacana: 11.4 km · 22 min drive.
What comes on top of the purchase price?
For new-build property in Spain, the purchase price is normally increased by VAT (IVA) on the home, stamp duty (AJD), notary and land-registry costs, and legal assistance. Together this usually comes to around 12 to 14% of the purchase price. Rates differ by autonomous region and can change; the cost simulator on this page uses the current Andalusian rates.
What payment terms does Resales Online list for this project?
The Resales field lists a €30,000 reservation and refers to the Payment Terms attachment. That attachment lists €850,000 for the plot purchase, €150,000 at contract signing and €450,000 at the start of earthworks, followed by monthly payments according to construction progress. It shows €195,000 alongside the three design and permit stages; confirm whether this amount applies to each stage. Taxes are additional. The attachment separates plot purchase from construction and is non-binding marketing material; confirm the amounts, tax treatment and current contractual schedule.
Can I get a Spanish mortgage as a non-resident?
Yes. Spanish banks do grant mortgages to non-residents, usually at a lower percentage of the purchase price than for residents and with conditions that vary by bank. The result depends on your income, tax residence and the bank's assessment. We can connect you with mortgage advisers who work with non-resident buyers.
What will the community fees cost?
Before reserving, ask about the community fees for the specific property: do they apply, what is the amount per month or per year, and which services are included? Also have it confirmed whether any additional contributions are planned. Request a current written statement or, if the amount is not yet final, a substantiated estimate. Do not rely solely on the project presentation.
Why buy through an agent with an API licence?
Del Sol Prime Homes works under an API licence (Agente de la Propiedad Inmobiliaria). Our project data comes directly from Resales Online, the shared database used by Costa del Sol real-estate agents. You pay the same price with us as directly with the developer.
