Sky Villas vs Villas: Choose How You Want to Live

The most exclusive residential concepts are found on the Costa del Sol. Until recently, the traditional villa represented the ultimate expression of Mediterranean luxury, but a new concept has emerged with strength: the Sky Villa. Both offer an exclusive experience, yet each one suits a different lifestyle. What is a Sky Villa and Why it’s Redefining Modern Luxury A Sky Villa brings together the best of two worlds: the space, privacy and exclusivity of a villa combined with the elevated views and amenities of a penthouse — plus the premium services offered by high-end residential communities. In simple terms, a Sky Villa can be described as an oversized penthouse with the dimensions, finishes and comfort of a private villa. It offers generous indoor and outdoor spaces, large terraces, often with private pools, panoramic views and bespoke interior design. At RH Privé Estate, we offer exclusive Sky Villas within Carat, located in Reserva del Higuerón, Benalmádena. Each one features spacious terraces, breathtaking Mediterranean views and luxury interiors designed by Pininfarina Architecture. They also include private elevator access from their own parking spaces, along with many other premium details rarely found in other homes. Their greatest value lies in the uninterrupted sea views, enjoyed from every corner of the residence thanks to floor-to-ceiling glass façades and expansive terraces. Furthermore, being part of a high-end residential complex, they benefit from shared premium services: video surveillance, luxury spa, fitness center, social club, landscaped gardens, personalized concierge services and more. These amenities would be costly to maintain in a standalone villa, but they make perfect sense within a luxury community. At our Carat Sky Villas, design meets sustainability, innovation and personalization, all backed by RH Privé’s hallmark of quality and more than 30 years of experience leading sustainable luxury development on the Costa del Sol. What Is a Villa and Why It Remains a Timeless Choice The villa represents the more classic side of Mediterranean luxury. It is a detached single-family home, usually set on a generous plot that includes a private pool, landscaped gardens and spacious outdoor areas. Its main appeal lies in absolute privacy, full personalization and a close connection to nature. In developments such as Reserva del Higuerón, our villas stand out for their strategic location, surrounded by premium services yet maintaining the essence of an independent home with its own land. Villas often appeal to families or clients seeking a long-term residence that can be tailored to their needs. They also offer that unique feeling of  truly owning your own land, highly valued by those who prioritize independence. Sky Villas Vs Villas: Understanding the Differences While both share the same DNA of luxury, Sky Villas and Villas offer very different living experiences, so your choice should depend on your lifestyle and priorities. Privacy And Shared Spaces The first distinction becomes clear when we talk about privacy and outdoor space. A traditional villa slightly leads in this regard, as its private plot allows for large gardens and an intimate atmosphere. A Sky Villa, however, offers expansive private terraces instead of land. In our Carat Sky Villas, you’ll also enjoy a private pool on your terrace along with access to exclusive communal areas such as spas, shared pools, bar and barbecue areas, chill-out terraces, state-of-the-art gyms and a concierge service available seven days a week. Views And Design When it comes to views, Sky Villas have a clear advantage thanks to their elevated position, offering spectacular panoramas. In contrast, a villa’s views depend entirely on its specific location. Sky Villas are designed to maximize the Mediterranean horizon, with glass façades that integrate the sea into the living space and an avant-garde architectural style reflecting the most sophisticated international trends. Lifestyle Lifestyle is another major point of difference. Villas suit those seeking total independence, close connection with nature and spacious homes ideal for families or long-term residents. Sky Villas, by contrast, appeal to a more cosmopolitan profile — people who value comfort, comprehensive security and access to first-class community amenities, without giving up the sense of space and luxury of a villa. Maintenance Maintenance is also a differentiating factor. Owning a villa demands a higher level of dedication, as the owner must manage the upkeep of the garden, pool and facilities. Sky Villas simplify this thanks to centralized management of the residential complex, which translates into fewer concerns for the resident. Experience Exclusivity takes on different nuances in each case. A villa offers it through its independence and the privilege of owning a private land, while a Sky Villa offers exclusivity through its exceptional views and access to elite community services — combining social interaction and convenience without sacrificing privacy. Which to choose: a Villa or a Sky Villa Choosing between a Villa and a Sky Villa isn’t about which is better, but which lifestyle suits you best. If you seek total independence, natural surroundings and the satisfaction of owning your own land, a villa is the right choice. But if you prefer elevated living with infinite views, cutting-edge design and access to shared luxury amenities, the Sky Villa represents the natural evolution of Costa del Sol luxury. At RH Privé Estates, we’re proud to present our latest Sky Villas and Villas in Reserva del Higuerón, where exclusivity reaches an entirely new level. Would you like to experience them in person? Contact us to arrange a private visit and discover why the Sky Villa is redefining luxury living on the Costa del Sol. Frequently asked questions about Sky Villas What makes a Sky Villa different from a luxury penthouse? A Sky Villa is not just a penthouse. It’s significantly larger, features a villa-like layout and offers superior-quality finishes and materials. Which is more profitable in the long term: a Villa or a Sky Villa? It depends on the buyer’s profile. A villa may have greater potential for appreciation due to the value of the land, whereas a Sky Villa, being part of a larger residential project, benefits from the collective revaluation of all properties within the development. Therefore, their value depends not only on location and quality,

Living in El Higuerón, Benalmádena: Luxury, Comfort and Quality of Life

In the heart of the Costa del Sol, El Higuerón —and especially the exclusive community of Reserva del Higuerón— has become one of the most desirable and prestigious residential areas. Combining luxury, nature and exceptional amenities, living here means enjoying a unique experience that goes far beyond simply owning a home. At RH Privé Estates, we want to share what makes this community unique and why it’s such an important part of our story. A Brief History Reserva del Higuerón was born in the early 1990s, when Guillermo Rodríguez, father of RH Privé’s current CEO, acquired the land with the vision of creating a residential community unlike any other. Together with his sons, he began shaping an exclusive, secure and service-oriented environment that would offer residents a unique way of living. By the early 2000s, with the delivery of the first homes, Reserva del Higuerón had become a Mediterranean luxury benchmark. More than 400 residences were developed during that decade, along with pioneering services such as private security, a wellness and spa circuit and a complete sports club that helped popularize padel tennis in the region. This commitment to quality of life, innovation and community transformed  Reserva del Higuerón into one of the most iconic residential destinations on the Costa del Sol marking the beginning of what is now RH Privé Estates, a name synonymous with excellence, sustainability and real estate vision. A Strategic Location on the Costa del Sol Located between Benalmádena and Fuengirola, Reserva del Higuerón enjoys a privileged position. The area lies between Málaga city and Marbella, two of the main hubs of the Costa del Sol.This ideal location means you’re just: 15 minutes from Málaga International Airport, with direct flights to all major European destinations. 20 minutes from Málaga’s historic center, known for its rich cultural and culinary scene. 25 minutes from Marbella and Puerto Banús, icons of Mediterranean luxury. The area is perfectly connected via the A-7 motorway, with direct access from the Higuerón exit. This excellent connectivity allows residents to combine peaceful, residential living with proximity to everything needed for daily life and leisure, as well as the convenience of having an international airport just minutes from home. Living in Reserva del Higuerón means effortless day-to-day comfort. The area is surrounded by modern shopping centres that include supermarkets and exclusive boutiques, making it easy to shop without having to travel far.

When it comes to health and wellbeing, the proximity of private clinics and leading hospitals provides the peace of mind of having top-quality medical care just minutes from home. The area also offers state-of-the-art wellness centres, cutting-edge spas and fully equipped gyms, allowing residents to maintain a healthy lifestyle without giving up luxury or convenience. Privileged Mediterranean Climate One of the Costa del Sol’s greatest advantages is its climate. With over 300 days of sunshine per year, mild winters and warm summers, El Higuerón guarantees an enviable quality of life. This exceptional weather not only enhances health and wellbeing but also invites you to enjoy outdoor activities all year round. Rainy days are few in this area, so the weather will never stop you from enjoying your favourite outdoor plans. Winters are also pleasantly mild, making it easy to go for walks or spend time outside whenever you wish. Gastronomy and Lifestyle The area boasts an exceptional culinary scene that ranges from traditional Andalusian cuisine, with its famous sardine skewers by the sea, to exclusive restaurants led by internationally renowned chefs. Its proximity to Málaga and Marbella further enhances the experience, offering a wide variety of gourmet and Michelin-starred dining options. The province of Málaga is home to nine Michelin-starred restaurants, several of which are located near El Higuerón in Benalmádena. Seven hold one star: Blossom, Kaleja and José Carlos García in Málaga, Sollo in Fuengirola, and Messina, Nintai and Back in Marbella — while two hold two stars: Skina in Marbella and Bardal in Ronda. Health and Education Residents value the peace of mind that comes from having prestigious private hospitals just a few minutes away by car. Many of these hospitals even offer translation services, ensuring comfort and clear communication for all residents and international visitors along the coast. Families also benefit from outstanding international schools such as The British College of Benalmádena and Deutsche Schule Benalmádena, both providing multilingual programmes designed for  the international community living on the Costa del Sol.
