Benahavís, a distinguished area in the province of Málaga, is celebrated for its picturesque landscapes, luxury properties, and high standard of living. The specific location resides within one of the upscale residential enclaves of Benahavís, providing an exceptional living environment. El Paraiso Alto is renowned for its proximity to several outstanding golf courses, including the El Paraiso Golf Club designed by Gary Player, one of Costa del Sol's premier golf venues with superb facilities and scenic views. Nearby, the Atalaya Golf & Country Club presents two 18-hole courses catering to golfers of all skill levels, enhancing the leisure offerings for residents. The dining scene in Benahavís is exceptional, often referred to as the "Dining Room of the Costa del Sol.

" Esteemed establishments such as Amanhavis Hotel & Restaurant, known for its gourmet Spanish cuisine, and La Torre, famed for its traditional Andalusian tapas, highlight the area's culinary excellence. Los Abanicos, celebrated for its seafood dishes and regional specialties, adds to the rich dining experiences available. Although Paraiso Alto itself is primarily residential, the surrounding area offers ample shopping facilities. The nearby Centro Comercial Guadalmina provides a range of retail stores, boutiques, and groceries, while the luxurious shopping options of Puerto Banús, featuring high-end brands like Louis Vuitton, Gucci, and Dolce & Gabbana, are just a short drive away. Families will find the area particularly accommodating, with access to several respected international and bilingual schools.

Atalaya Colegio Internacional offers comprehensive education from early childhood through secondary levels, while the Marbella Montessori School follows the internationally recognised Montessori approach. Additionally, Aloha College provides the British curriculum along with the Spanish Bachillerato, ensuring diverse educational opportunities. There is an unwavering charm about Estepona - starting years back as a small fishing town, it's grown in abundance and now occupies a respectable stretch of the coast linked by the New Golden Mile as its now known. In recent years, Estepona has had some fantastic regenerating boosts with perfect results - a beautifully kept and still traditional Spanish whitewash town, with pedestrianised flower lined postcard quality backstreets. Also, a new theatre, sports grounds, beautifully painted wall murals, and an Orchidarium to name a few.

Up next is a new hospital and a fantastic amount of development into some stunning brand-new luxury real estate. Add that to a multitude of kid's parks, bars, shops, cafes, a bustling fun marina that's home to the Sunday market and a choice of clean easy access beaches including Cristo Beach which sits in a cove and is a hidden gem of the area. Neighbouring towns such as San Pedro and Duquesa Port are easily accessed which makes this a great spot to get out and about from. Estepona is also a convenient location for Gibraltar. This really is the ideal location for pure Spanish charm at its best.
