We have driven the bends of Avenida Tomás Pascual for the better part of twenty years — first for golf at La Quinta, later for clients. We walked Alborada Homes before the paint had dried. Ask us which solariums hold the evening sun and which corners hear the road; we will tell you plainly.
“Incredibly happy with Bianca, who helped us find our dream house. Extremely professional.”
“The address for exceptional properties. After several bad experiences, we were very satisfied.”
“My experience with Omèr was fantastic. His professionalism and dedication were key to finding our house.”
The duplex penthouse is the format people come to Alborada Homes for. Set across the development's low-rise buildings on the rise above La Quinta Golf, these are the homes on the upper level, where a private external staircase carries you up to a large open solarium. That roof terrace is the whole point: room for sun loungers, an outdoor dining table and an evening drink, with the golf and the coast laid out to the west. Most run to two or three bedrooms over the two floors, with the living space and kitchen below opening to a main terrace, and the solarium above. Two parking spaces and a storage room in the basement come as standard.
They suit buyers who want the lock-up-and-leave ease of an apartment but not the compromise on outdoor space — second-home owners, golfers playing La Quinta, Los Arqueros and Los Flamingos, and people trading a villa garden for a manageable terrace with the same view. As a guide, duplex penthouses here generally sit in the upper end of the scheme's pricing, typically in the high-€900,000s to around €1.4 million depending on floor area, aspect and how much terrace comes with the home. We'll always tell you which of the two-bed and three-bed layouts holds its value and which is asking too much for the view it actually has.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Most duplex penthouses at Alborada Homes have two or three bedrooms arranged over two floors. The lower floor holds the living room, open kitchen and main terrace; an external staircase leads up to a large private solarium. Outdoor space is generous for an apartment, with some homes offering well over 100 square metres of terrace and solarium combined. Each comes with two parking spaces and a basement storage room.
The defining feature is the rooftop solarium reached by a private external staircase — a large open terrace that the ground and middle-floor apartments do not have. Sitting on the development's upper level above La Quinta Golf, the duplexes also take the fullest advantage of the west-facing panoramic views over the fairways and towards the coast, which is why they sit at the upper end of the scheme's pricing.
As a general guide, duplex penthouses at Alborada Homes usually fall in the high-€900,000s to around €1.4 million, with the figure driven by floor area, the size of the terrace and solarium, and the aspect. They tend to price above the standard apartments in the development because of the extra floor and the rooftop outdoor space. Exact figures vary by individual home, and we're happy to talk through where a given price sits against the view and layout.
Alborada Homes is on Avenida Tomás Pascual in La Quinta, the hillside of Benahavís municipality directly behind San Pedro de Alcántara. It sits above the fairways of La Quinta Golf & Country Club and the Westin La Quinta Golf Resort & Spa, around ten minutes' drive from San Pedro, fifteen from Puerto Banús and roughly forty-five minutes from Málaga airport along the AP-7.
The development comprises forty-five homes in three contemporary low-rise buildings, completed in 2021 with a BREEAM sustainability certificate. There are two-, three- and four-bedroom apartments, ground-floor homes with terraces of over a hundred square metres, and duplex penthouses whose private solariums are reached by an external stair. The community is gated, with a pool, gym, native-planted gardens and underground parking.
A three-bedroom apartment in Alborada Homes typically trades in the €700,000 to €900,000 band, while the three-bedroom duplex penthouses generally run from around €1 million to €1.4 million. Within the development, price differences mostly come down to floor height and how much of the sea — rather than just the golf course — a terrace actually sees.
Few addresses sit closer to so much golf: La Quinta's twenty-seven holes are directly below, Los Arqueros and El Higueral are within about ten minutes, and the Golf Valley courses of Nueva Andalucía — Los Naranjos, Las Brisas and Aloha — are just down the hill. For families, Aloha College and Laude San Pedro International College are both within a fifteen-minute school run, with San Pedro's beach about ten minutes away.
