Stupa – Villa Fo Guang Shan – Benalmadena

Perched on the sun-drenched hills of Benalmadena, Villa Fo Guang Shan is a singular three-bedroom en-suite villa that commands breathtaking south-facing panoramic views across the Mediterranean — an exceptionally rare offering on the Costa del Sol.

Conceived as an intimate retreat rather than a volume development, this award-recognised residence spans 365 m² of thoughtfully arranged living space shaped by contemporary architecture and a clear commitment to privacy. The ground floor unfolds as a generous open-plan living, dining and kitchen area that flows effortlessly onto a covered terrace and a shimmering infinity pool, dissolving the boundary between inside comfort and outdoor calm. Practical considerations — laundry room, machine room and ample storage — are woven discreetly into the plan so that day-to-day life remains as refined as the aesthetic.

A subtle architectural inflection on the upper floor ensures that every bedroom captures the surrounding landscape to its fullest. The master suite enjoys its own private terrace, while the two guest suites share a panoramic-view terrace of their own. All three bedrooms are en-suite, making the villa equally suited to full-time family living or a high-end holiday retreat. A street-level basement garage completes the picture. Recognised as the Best Luxury Villa Development on the Costa del Sol, this is an address that combines serenity, design and an enduring sense of place — priced from €1,735,995.
