Living in Los Arqueros

Los Arqueros is a golf urbanisation in the municipality of Benahavís, on the Ronda road (A-397), about 10 minutes from San Pedro de Alcántara and Puerto Banús. Its centrepiece is Los Arqueros Golf, the first course designed by Severiano Ballesteros on the Costa del Sol: a technical mountain course with changes in elevation that gives the whole area its character. Homes are divided between apartments with spacious terraces, townhouses and villas on plots with views of both the sea and the sierra. Being high up, many properties enjoy panoramas that stretch to the coast and, on clear days, Gibraltar, with the mountains as a backdrop.

Life in Los Arqueros combines the calm of the mountains with genuine proximity to everything: the village of Benahavís and its restaurants are a few minutes further up the same road, and heading down you quickly reach the schools, supermarkets and beaches of San Pedro. The golf club acts as a social meeting point, with a clubhouse, gym and activities for residents. It is an area that attracts golfers as well as families and remote workers looking for mountain air, silence and a stable international community all year round.

The Los Arqueros market offers a wide range: resale apartments in complexes with pools and good communal areas, frontline golf townhouses and detached villas on generous plots, plus more recent developments on the higher ground.

It is also important to weigh up the comunidad (community of owners), as well as garage spaces and storage rooms, which are in high demand in the area.
