Alborada Homes, La Quinta's dawn-named hillside — fairway views, deep terraces, ten minutes above San Pedro.
Where Alborada Homes sits
Alborada Homes stands on Avenida Tomás Pascual in La Quinta, the hillside corner of Benahavís municipality that rises directly behind San Pedro de Alcántara. The three buildings sit above the fairways of La Quinta Golf & Country Club and the Westin La Quinta Golf Resort & Spa, oriented south to south-west, so the homes hold the sun from late morning through to the last of the evening light. The name means daybreak in Spanish, and the position earns it: from the upper terraces the view runs over the golf to the Mediterranean, with Gibraltar visible on a clear day. It is a quiet, gated pocket — the only passing traffic belongs to the hill itself.
Duplex penthouses, deep terraces and three low buildings
The homes people ring us about most are the duplex penthouses — typically three bedrooms over two levels, with a private solarium reached by its own external stair, big enough for a dining table, sunbeds and an honest argument about whether you still need a villa. Beneath them run two-, three- and four-bedroom apartments, and the ground-floor homes carry terraces of well over a hundred square metres, some with private gardens. There are forty-five homes in all, across three contemporary low-rise buildings finished in 2021 with a BREEAM sustainability certificate — still uncommon on this coast. The community is gated, with a pool and sun deck, a gym, gardens planted with native species, and underground parking and storage for every home.
Who it suits, and what you would typically pay
Alborada Homes draws golfers who want La Quinta's twenty-seven holes below the window, second-home owners who value a lock-up-and-leave they can land into within an hour of Málaga, and former villa owners trading upkeep for a duplex penthouse with much of the same space. A three-bedroom apartment here typically trades in the €700,000 to €900,000 band; the duplex penthouses generally run from around €1 million to €1.4 million, depending on level and how much sea the solarium actually sees. That last point matters — within one development, the difference between a golf outlook and a clear run to the water is real money, and we will always tell you which homes are priced above what their view justifies.
Getting around — and how we work
You will want a car; the hill is steep and pavements are scarce. With one, everything is close: San Pedro's boulevard and beach in about ten minutes, Puerto Banús in fifteen, Marbella town in twenty, and Benahavís village — with its run of restaurants up the river road — in roughly fifteen. Málaga airport is around forty-five minutes along the AP-7. For families, Aloha College in Nueva Andalucía and Laude San Pedro International College are both within a fifteen-minute school run. We are a small family firm and we have walked this hillside for decades, so we will meet you at the gate at the hour the light matters, talk you honestly through each stack and stair, and tell you which homes earn their asking price. If Alborada Homes sounds like your kind of address, drop us a line.
