Villa Ayantam, located in the exclusive Cascada de Camoján urbanization in Marbella, Málaga, has achieved a global milestone by becoming the first newly built residence to receive BREEAM Outstanding certification. This recognition, the highest level of the international BREEAM sustainability standard, underscores its exceptionally efficient design and construction.

The property, spanning 1,740 square meters built on a 1,978 square meter plot, is offered for 12.75 million euros. According to Engel & Völkers, the real estate agency managing the sale, the villa features eight en-suite bedrooms, three specialized kitchens, and extensive areas dedicated to wellness and leisure, including a gym, hammam, heated pool, cinema room, and wine cellar. It also includes an independent apartment for service staff and a garage with capacity for eight vehicles.

The BREEAM (Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method) certificate evaluates various aspects such as energy consumption, environmental impact, water management, and indoor well-being. The 'Outstanding' rating is exclusively awarded to projects that demonstrate the highest levels of performance across all these indicators. Villa Ayantam achieved a score of 92.16%, one of the highest recorded in the residential sector, following a rigorous independent verification of its construction systems, installations, and materials.

The villa incorporates advanced technical solutions to optimize indoor environmental quality, such as ventilation systems that filter particles and pollutant compounds. It also stands out for comprehensive water treatment, energy production that exceeds the property's total consumption, and rainwater harvesting for irrigation. Its design is articulated around an interior garden that maximizes natural light and cross-ventilation, visually and functionally connecting the spaces.

The home's structure utilizes cross-laminated timber (CLT), a material that improves thermal insulation and reduces its carbon footprint. Natural finishes, the absence of toxic compounds, and the selection of sustainable and durable materials complement these features. A digital platform allows real-time monitoring and adjustment of the home's operation, optimizing resource consumption and habitability conditions.

The development of Villa Ayantam reflects a growing demand for homes that prioritize well-being and efficiency. The Global Wellness Institute notes sustained growth in the real estate market linked to these criteria, where environmental certifications, air quality control, and energy efficiency are increasingly decisive in purchasing decisions, on par with location or design.
