Stupa Hills, Corner Penthouse Duplex with Panoramisch Zeezicht, Benalmadena

This corner penthouse duplex at Stupa Hills is one of the most distinctive residences on the Costa del Sol — and arguably the finest unit in the development. A corner position on the upper levels delivers uninterrupted panoramic views across the Mediterranean Sea, the Bay of Fuengirola, the surrounding mountains and the illuminated Buddhist Stupa directly adjacent, whose presence gives this property an atmosphere genuinely unlike anything else on the coast.

The layout separates the social and private spaces across two levels. The living level is built around a spacious open-plan kitchen and dining area — an unusual feature in a penthouse of this category — alongside a separate formal sitting room, giving residents the flexibility to entertain at scale while maintaining comfortable everyday living. Floor-to-ceiling windows and a south and south-east orientation ensure natural light from morning through to evening. The expanded terraces of 68 m² flow seamlessly from the interior, extending living and dining outdoors with direct sight lines to the Stupa and the sea.

More than €130,000 in premium Danish designer furnishings and bespoke interior features are included in the sale, making this property genuinely move-in ready at a specification level that would be difficult to replicate. Three bedrooms, fitted wardrobes, underfloor heating in bathrooms, air conditioning throughout, domotics, fibre optic, and electric blinds complete the interior specification. Two private underground parking spaces and a storage room are included.

Stupa Hills residents have access to an infinity swimming pool, exclusive spa and wellness area with heated indoor pool, hammam, sauna and relaxation zones, fully equipped fitness centre with yoga studio, and a gated community with advanced video surveillance. The property holds a rental licence, creating immediate investment potential alongside its credentials as a primary or secondary residence. 15 minutes from Málaga International Airport and 30 minutes from Marbella. Available through Aluma Real Estate.

Benalmadena Pueblo sits elevated above the coast between Torremolinos and Fuengirola, offering Mediterranean views without the density of the coastal strip below. Stupa Hills is nestled beside the iconic Buddhist Stupa — one of the largest in Europe — in a gated enclave that combines tranquillity with exceptional connectivity. Málaga International Airport is 15 minutes by car. Fuengirola, Torremolinos and Marbella are all within 30 minutes. The marina, beaches, international schools, and the full range of Costa del Sol amenities are in easy reach.
