As you walk along the enchanting entrance path, framed by lush greenery and leading to beautiful antique wooden doors, it's impossible not to fall in love.

Peaceful and inviting, this Andalusian-style patio features a gentle fountain, fragrant orange trees and a charming covered barbecue area – the perfect setting for long alfresco lunches or relaxed evenings with family and friends.

The living space is thoughtfully divided into a dining area and a cosy lounge, making it equally suited to entertaining or everyday family life.

A new build villa in Cortijo Blanco, completing in 2026, its eight en suite bedrooms arranged across three levels a short walk from the beach.
Cortijo Blanco sits on the beachside strip between San Pedro de Alcantara and Puerto Banus, one of the older established residential pockets along this stretch of coast, laid out from the 1970s onward around wide, tree lined streets rather than the gated compounds built more recently further along. Its position gives residents genuine walking access to the beach and promenade while staying a short drive from both San Pedro's own centre and the restaurants and marina of Puerto Banus. The area has drawn a mix of long standing residents and newer buyers rebuilding on its original plots, giving it a settled character alongside the new construction now appearing throughout it.
The villa is arranged across three levels around bright, open plan living spaces that connect directly to the outdoor terraces and gardens through floor to ceiling glass doors. The kitchen opens fully into the dining and lounge areas, finished to a contemporary standard throughout.
Eight bedrooms are included, all en suite, giving the villa genuine capacity for a large family or frequent guests without anyone sharing a bathroom.
The lower level is built as a dedicated wellness and entertainment floor, holding a gym, sauna, steam room, massage room, private cinema and wine cellar, along with a separate laundry room and additional staff or guest accommodation.
South facing terraces and a private pool sit within landscaped gardens, with outdoor dining and barbecue space suited to the climate through most of the year.
Secure parking for two cars is included, within a gated community close to the beach.

Marble flooring extends throughout, while a fireplace anchors the room, giving it the welcoming feel of a true home. While the indoor kitchen integrates smoothly into the main floor, the true centerpiece for entertaining is the fully equipped outdoor kitchen. Complete with an oven, barbecue, kitchen area, laundry space, and toilet. This outdoor living space is designed for year-round enjoyment—whether hosting a long Sunday family lunch or evening drinks as the sun sets behind the mountains.
The villa offers 5 bedrooms across two floors, each with its own distinct character. On the main floor, two bedrooms feature parquet flooring, built-in wardrobes, and air conditioning. Upstairs, the three remaining bedrooms take full advantage of the property’s elevated position. The master suite is exceptionally spacious, with room for a private sitting area, and includes an en-suite bathroom with both a bathtub and shower. A second bedroom opens onto its own private balcony with mountain views, while the third looks out toward the sea—two magnificent, contrasting backdrops to wake up to.
The 58 m² pool is one of the largest on a private residential plot in the area, surrounded by mature planting that ensures complete privacy. The garden wraps around the villa with the kind of established vegetation that simply cannot be bought new – it takes decades to create and adds a quality of seclusion that is increasingly rare. The fruit orchard is extraordinary by any standard. Fully productive and thoughtfully planted, it features two avocado trees, four fig trees, two mango trees, two orange trees, two grapevines, a lemon tree, a papaya, a loquat, and a peach tree.
An automated irrigation system keeps the garden in pristine condition year-round, even when you are away. Enjoying fresh, home-grown seasonal fruit for much of the year is one of those simple everyday luxuries that quickly becomes irreplaceable. Additionally, solar panels significantly reduce energy consumption and operating costs.

Some homes impress you for a few minutes.
Others quietly improve your life every single day.
This villa belongs to the second category.
The first thing you notice is not the sea view, although it is spectacular. It is not the heated pool, the rooftop jacuzzi or the beautifully renovated interiors either.
What you notice is how effortlessly everything works.
Your morning starts with sunlight reflecting on the Mediterranean. The house is still quiet. You make a coffee and step outside. The only decision you need to make is whether to swim first, train in the gym, work from the private office, or simply sit down and enjoy the view a little longer.
There is no traffic noise. No lack of privacy. No compromise.
Just space.
Space to think. Space to breathe. Space to enjoy the people who matter most.
This is a home designed for real life.
The heated 14-metre pool is ready throughout the year. The gym is separate from the main house. The home office is independent, allowing you to work without interruption while family and guests enjoy the property. Every bedroom has its own en-suite bathroom. Every detail has been considered not only for beauty, but for comfort and functionality.
And when the day changes, the villa changes with it.
Friends arrive. The terrace fills with conversation. The sliding glass doors disappear and indoor and outdoor living become one. Dinner stretches long into the Andalusian evening while the sky slowly changes colour above the mountains and the sea.
Later, some gather around the fireplace. Others head to the cinema room. The final guests eventually find themselves on the rooftop terrace, watching the lights of the coast begin to sparkle below while the jacuzzi bubbles quietly beside them.
These are the moments that people remember.
