Location & Accessibility

El Madronal is a private gated residential estate located above San Pedro de Alcántara, between Marbella and Benahavís. Along with our neighbouring estate La Zagaleta, access is via the A-7 coastal road. Take the San Pedro de Alcántara exit, follow signs toward Ronda and Benahavís, then continue uphill to the main security gate at El Madronal entrance No. 3, or one of the other 6 entrances to the estate if you know in advance. Entry is controlled, and visitors must be pre-registered or announced at the gate.

The exclusive private estate with hilltop panoramic views is just minutes from some of Costa Del Sol's best beaches and golf courses, or a short drive from the dazzling nightlife, restaurants and marina of world-renowned Puerto Banus, and cosmopolitan Marbella.
