Résidence Stupa Hills · Benalmádena · Costa del Sol
Stupa Hills sits in Benalmádena, in the Higuerón district, on the hills where the sierra dives into the sea. A single-storey apartment, 92 m² indoors, 30 m² of terrace, sweeping Mediterranean views, nothing in front. Five minutes' walk from the heart of Higuerón, ten minutes' drive from the beach and hiking trails. A rare retreat, made to recharge solo or with a few close friends.
The apartment
Inside Stupa Hills: 92 m² indoor + 30 m² south-facing terrace, two separate bedrooms, two bathrooms, kitchen open to the lounge, laundry room. No stairs — built for rest. Air-con, wifi. The residence's infinity pool overlooks the bay; below it, a gym. From the terrace, the full earth-sea spread: the bay of Fuengirola right below, Carvajal beach ten minutes by car, and on a clear day Gibraltar on the horizon. The Mediterranean full-page, from sunrise to sunset. On request: second parking space, car, driver, private concierge.
Exterior views
Higher up, Europe's largest stupa watches over the hills. Out front, the Mediterranean as far as the eye can see. The south-facing terrace — 30 m² opening onto the bay — feels like a private balcony over the Costa del Sol.

Around Stupa Hills
Stupa Hills is a luxury retreat in Benalmádena, nothing in front, sweeping Mediterranean views. The Higuerón district — five minutes' walk away — one of the most exclusive areas of the Costa del Sol: 5-star hotel with spa, fine-dining including Sollo (Michelin-starred, river cuisine), coworking spaces, shuttles to Carvajal beach. The seaside resort below — promenade, golden beaches, marina, fishing port, Calamorro cable car to the summit. And higher up, Benalmádena Pueblo — the old white village clinging to the sierra, whitewashed alleys, geraniums on the balconies, panoramic sea views and local tapas. 20 minutes from Málaga airport, thirty from the historic centre, Marbella, Mijas, Frigiliana, Ronda, Gibraltar all within day-trip reach.
Spirit of place
Higher on the hills watches Europe's largest stupa — the Stupa of Enlightenment, erected in 2003 by Lopon Tsechu Rinpoche, 33 metres of white and gold facing the Mediterranean. A place of light open to all, it radiates across the whole district. You don't need to be Buddhist to feel the vibrations — they reach the terrace, in the silence of the olive trees and the far-off lapping of the sea. You sit down at day's end, breathe, watch the light shift. Stupa Hills is what anyone setting down their bags here comes to find: disconnect, listen to the good frequencies, find back the Andalusian rhythm — the siesta, the shared tapas, the easy smile. The soul of Andalusia, one slow step at a time.
