Lomas de La Quinta, Benahavis
Nestled in the exclusive urbanisation of Lomas de La Quinta in Benahavis, Malaga, this modern and brand-new villa epitomises luxury living on the Costa del Sol…
We've walked these hillside plots in every season, so we can tell you which terraces hold the afternoon sun, which sit in the El Madroñal shade by four o'clock, and where the access road climbs steeply enough to matter. When a villa here is priced ahead of its view, we'll say so.
“They found us a frontline villa that wasn't even on the open market. Smooth, honest.”
“Three viewings, no pressure, sound advice on schools. Best agency on the coast.”
“Bianca speaks Dutch, knew our notary, and introduced us to other Dutch families nearby.”
This is villa country first and foremost. Lomas de La Quinta sits high above La Quinta golf, on the southern edge of El Madroñal, and the homes here are built to take the view — generous contemporary villas with five or six bedrooms, large terraces and a private pool, set on plots that give each house room to breathe. Interiors typically run from around 500 square metres into the 800s on plots of roughly 750 to 1,000 square metres, so you are buying space and privacy as much as a house. The newer gated phases lean modern, with kitchens and finishes from names like Gunni & Trentino, two parking spaces and 24-hour security.
Pricing tends to start in the mid single-digit millions and rises with size, frontline-golf position and how open the sea view is — the homes looking straight down the valley to the coast sit at the top of the band. Buyers here are usually families and second-home owners who want a private villa within a few minutes of La Quinta, Los Arqueros and Villa Padierna golf, with Puerto Banús about fifteen to twenty minutes down the hill. We'll always tell you which of these villas is fairly priced for its view and which is asking a premium the position doesn't quite earn.
Lomas de La Quinta sits at the top of La Quinta in Benahavís, on the southern edge of El Madroñal, with the Bay of Marbella opening out below and the mountains rising behind. It is a small, elevated pocket rather than a sprawling urbanisation: a handful of villa plots and a few newer gated schemes, set back from the busier golf-side streets lower down. You are roughly ten minutes from Puerto Banús, a few more from San Pedro Alcántara and the coast, with the hills doing the work of keeping it calm.
Villas dominate here, and they tend to be substantial — generous plots, private pools, and interiors run on a large scale, with the more recent builds reaching well past 800 square metres and five or six bedrooms. The architecture leans contemporary: clean volumes, full-height glazing turned toward the bay, terraces stepped to catch the view. Alongside the detached villas you will find the occasional duplex penthouse or apartment within the gated developments, though the character of the pocket is firmly villa-led.
This is a spot for buyers who want height, privacy and a long sea view, and who don't mind being a short drive above the action rather than in it. Golfers are well placed — La Quinta Golf and Country Club's twenty-seven holes are on the doorstep — and families value the run of international schools down toward San Pedro and Nueva Andalucía: Aloha College, Laude San Pedro, St George's and Calpe are all within a sensible drive. It tends to appeal to those treating the home as a main residence or a serious second home, not a quick rental flip.
This is one of the upper bands of the La Quinta hillside. For a contemporary villa with a true bay view you'd generally expect figures from the mid-single-digit millions of euros upward, with the newest large-format builds carrying the top end. Apartments and penthouses within the gated schemes sit considerably below that. View, plot orientation and how recently a home was built move the number more than floor area alone — which is where it pays to have someone tell you what you're actually paying for.
Access is via the La Quinta roads off the A-7, with the AP-7 toll motorway close by for longer runs. Reckon on about ten minutes down to Puerto Banús, around twenty into Marbella, and roughly forty-five minutes to Málaga–Costa del Sol airport on the toll road. The beaches at San Pedro and Guadalmina are a short drive below. It is a car-first location, as the hillside settings here generally are.
We've spent twenty years on this stretch of the Costa del Sol, and we'd rather you bought the right home than any home. We'll walk the plots with you, tell you which terraces keep the sun and which streets carry a little road noise from below, and flag any villa we think is priced ahead of what it offers. If Lomas de La Quinta is on your list, drop us a line.
Most villas in Lomas de La Quinta have five or six bedrooms. Interior built space typically runs from around 500 square metres up into the 800s, on plots of roughly 750 to 1,000 square metres, with large terraces and a private pool. They are designed as spacious, view-led family homes rather than compact properties.
Villas here generally start in the mid single-digit millions of euros and rise from there with size, plot, frontline-golf position and the openness of the sea view. The homes with the clearest views down the valley to the coast sit at the upper end of that band, while the choice of newer gated phases reflects their contemporary build and finishes.
Lomas de La Quinta sits high above La Quinta golf in Benahavis, on the southern edge of El Madroñal, with panoramic sea and mountain views reaching towards Gibraltar on clear days. It is a gated community with 24-hour security, minutes from La Quinta, Los Arqueros and Villa Padierna golf, and roughly fifteen to twenty minutes from Puerto Banus.
Lomas de La Quinta sits at the top of the La Quinta area of Benahavís, on the southern edge of El Madroñal and northwest of Nueva Andalucía. It is an elevated hillside pocket overlooking the Bay of Marbella, about ten minutes by car from Puerto Banús and a little further from San Pedro Alcántara and the coast.
The pocket is villa-led. Homes here are typically large contemporary detached villas on generous plots with private pools, panoramic sea and mountain views, and five or six bedrooms in the newer builds. A smaller number of apartments and duplex penthouses are available within the gated developments.
La Quinta Golf and Country Club, a twenty-seven-hole course, is immediately adjacent, with Los Naranjos, Las Brisas and Aloha within easy reach in the Golf Valley. For schools, Aloha College in Nueva Andalucía and Laude San Pedro, St George's and Calpe in San Pedro Alcántara are all a short drive down the hill.
From Lomas de La Quinta you can reach Puerto Banús in about ten minutes and Marbella town in around twenty. Málaga–Costa del Sol airport is roughly forty-five minutes via the AP-7 toll motorway. It is a car-dependent location given the hillside setting.
