Qu est-ce que 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.

Qui vit a Monte Mayor?
Monte Mayor attracts privacy-seekers and nature lovers: retired executives, artists, and international families who want space and silence rather than resort amenities. The community is small and gated, with a predominantly Northern European and British contingent alongside Spanish families from Madrid and Seville who use properties as weekend retreats. The gated entrance and low density give it a village-like familiarity among residents.

Oui. Le domaine dispose d'un portail d'entrée gardé avec sécurité 24h/24. Tous les visiteurs sont enregistrés et annoncés.

Golfers on the estate play at Atalaya Golf or La Quinta Golf, both a short drive downhill.

Oui, généralement 3 à 5 degrés plus frais en été, ce qui est un avantage significatif en juillet et août.
