At a glance — VILLA LYRA — gated sea view new build villas Benahavis
VILLA LYRA — gated sea view new build villas Benahavis is a four-bedroom new-construction detached villa in the gated Monte Mayor community. It offers 596 m² built on a 2,275 m² private plot, with a pool, 24-hour security and sea and mountain views.
Project analysis
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.
The villa provides 596 m² of built area across two levels on a 2,275 m² plot. Its four bedrooms, four bathrooms and guest toilet create a practical framework for family living, hosting guests or maintaining dedicated work and leisure spaces within the home.
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.

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.

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.

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.
Points to consider
- VILLA LYRA is not a beachfront or walk-to-beach home; for example, Playa del Sol Villacana is 11.4 km away, which is about a 22-minute drive.
- Daily shopping is car-dependent; Mini Market El Cortijo is 10.3 km away, around 19 minutes by car.
- The peaceful hill setting is a strength for privacy, but it also means restaurant and coastal plans require a drive.
- No completion date is stated in the available project information.
Comparing the Benahavís hills with the coast
Compared with a coastal address, VILLA LYRA offers a larger, more private hillside proposition: a 2,275 m² plot, landscaped garden, private pool and broad sea and mountain views within a gated community.
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.
Within the wider Benahavís market, VILLA LYRA is particularly distinct for its 596 m² built area, four-bedroom configuration, two-level contemporary design and 24-hour-secured community setting.
