Villa Aura

El Herrojo, Benahavis

HEXAGONAL PLAN

High up in the gated community of El Herrojo, this newly built villa has a hexagonal floor plan laid out to take in views of La Concha mountain and down to the Mediterranean coastline. It is arranged over three levels with an A energy rating, and is built with a reinforced concrete structure under a ten-year warranty, high-performance insulation and Kömmerling PVC acoustic glazing, which keep it quiet and energy-efficient.

The angles of the plan give bright, open living spaces, fully styled and furnished by La Albaida Interior Design. Wide floor-to-ceiling glass brings morning and afternoon light into the main living rooms, which open onto the south-east terraces. A Control4 and KNX home automation system runs the lighting, security, video entry and an eight-zone Bowers & Wilkins audio system, and a Daikin aerothermal system provides underfloor heating and cooling in all five bedroom suites. The lower level has a private gym and spa.

The 1,428 m² plot has a private swimming pool, landscaped gardens and 171 m² of covered and open terraces for alfresco dining. El Herrojo has 24-hour security and a quiet mountainside position right next to La Quinta Golf & Country Club. The restaurants of Benahavís village, the international schools of Nueva Andalucía and the marina at Puerto Banús are all within a ten-minute drive.
