Was ist Monte Mayor?
Monte Mayor is a gated residential estate perched at approximately 400 metres above sea level on the mountain road between Benahavís and Ronda. The altitude delivers something rare on the Costa del Sol: unobstructed panoramic views stretching from Gibraltar and the African coast to the Sierra de las Nieves, combined with cool breezes and genuine silence. The estate's residential village is known as La Heredia de Monte Mayor.
The development was originally built around Monte Mayor Golf Club, an 18-hole course designed by José Gancedo that opened in 1989 and was known for dramatic elevation changes cut into the hillside. The club closed in December 2011 after its former owner ran into financial difficulty, and the course was left untended for years. A Russian investment group bought the site at auction in 2014 and announced plans to restore and reopen it by 2016, but that work never started, and the course remains closed and overgrown. Villa plots on the estate are set among pine and cork-oak woodland, with architecture ranging from traditional Andalusian cortijos to contemporary designs.
Monte Mayor appeals to buyers seeking privacy, space and a mountain lifestyle that still places them within 15 to 20 minutes of the coast and its established golf courses, rather than to buyers looking for an on-site, playable course.

Haeufig gestellte Fragen
Ist Monte Mayor wirklich eine geschlossene Wohnanlage?
Ja. The estate has a staffed entrance gate with 24-hour security. All visitors are logged and announced.
Wie ist die Aussicht auf 400 Metern Höhe?
Spektakulär. An klaren Tagen sieht man Gibraltar, die afrikanische Küste, das Mittelmeer und die Berge der Serranía de Ronda.
Ist die Strasse hinauf nach Monte Mayor schwierig?
Die Zufahrtsstraße (BV-8301) ist gut gepflegt und asphaltiert, wenn auch kurvenreich. Sie ist nach Bergmaßstäben nicht steil, erfordert aber bei Nässe besondere Vorsicht.
Is Monte Mayor Golf Club open?
No. The course closed in December 2011 due to the former owner's financial difficulties. A Russian investment group bought it at auction in 2014 and announced a 2016 reopening, but restoration work never started and the course remains closed and overgrown. Golfers on the estate play at Atalaya Golf or La Quinta Golf, both a short drive downhill.

Ja, typically 3 to 5 degrees cooler in summer, which is a significant advantage during July and August.
