We've sold and resold homes across La Quinta for years, and The Hills is a corner we know plot by plot. We'll walk you round at the right time of day, tell you which villas hold their value and which are priced on a view that won't last, and never push you up the hill for a bigger number.
“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.”
The Hills is a villas-first address, and that is really all it is. The scheme sits on the upper slopes above La Quinta Golf, a double-gated pocket of detached contemporary houses laid out so each plot keeps its own line of sight south over the fairways and out to the Mediterranean, with Gibraltar and the North African coast on the clearer days. There are no apartments here and no townhouse runs to dilute it — just standalone villas on generous plots, which is the whole point for the people who buy in.
Expect serious footprints. The houses run broadly from four bedrooms up to six or seven, with internal areas that span from around 590 square metres on the smaller models to well over a thousand on the largest, and plots that move from roughly 950 square metres to a couple of thousand-plus at the top of the range. The architecture is the current Marbella idiom — flat roofs, glass walls, infinity pools set to the view, home cinemas and spas built in rather than added later. We'll always tell you which of these plots actually holds the panorama and which loses it to the villa above, because on a hillside that difference is everything.
Set in the upper reaches of La Quinta, a short way inland from Nueva Andalucía, The Hills is one of the more private addresses in Benahavís. You pass through the community gate and then, for most homes, a second private one — which is rather the point. This is a quiet, secure pocket of modern villas, elevated enough to clear the coastal haze and hold a sea view, yet only minutes down the hill to Puerto Banús and the beach. It sits within the wider La Quinta resort, wrapped around the 27-hole La Quinta Golf & Country Club and a short drive from the Westin La Quinta hotel and spa.
The Hills draws a particular kind of buyer: people who want a new or nearly new contemporary villa, real privacy, and golf and beach both within ten minutes, without sitting on top of the Puerto Banús bustle. You'll find international families who've chosen the Costa for the schools and the year-round outdoor life, golfers who like waking up beside the fairways, and a steady share of second-home owners from northern Europe and further afield who use the place through spring and autumn and let the gates and the security give them peace of mind when they're away. It's a calm, grown-up address rather than a party one.
This is villa country, almost exclusively. The Hills is defined by large detached contemporary villas in the clean-lined style the coast's better architects favour: flat roofs, full-height glazing, open-plan living that folds out onto infinity pools, basement levels given over to cinema rooms, gyms and spas, and landscaped plots that work with the slope. Most are recent builds or built to order, so expect underfloor heating, home automation and the energy ratings to match. The terrain does the heavy lifting on light and outlook — the higher plots take the long sea-and-golf panoramas, while the lower ones trade some of that view for a touch more shelter. If apartments or townhouses are what you're after, you'll generally need to look to the neighbouring corners of La Quinta rather than inside The Hills itself.
The Hills sits at the upper end of the La Quinta market, and the villas reflect that. As a rough guide, a contemporary villa here typically runs from somewhere in the mid-single-digit millions of euros, and the largest, newest houses with the broadest views climb well into the eight-figure bracket. By comparison, more modest independent villas elsewhere in La Quinta can start under €2 million, and townhouses in the surrounding La Quinta Hills pocket can begin under €1 million, so The Hills is a deliberate step up in build quality, privacy and plot. We'll always tell you plainly which homes are fairly priced for what they offer and which are leaning on a view or a postcode to justify the figure, and we'll show you the comparable sales to back it up.
Golf is the day-to-day backdrop: La Quinta's own 27 holes, designed by Manuel Piñero, sit directly below, and the Golf Valley courses — Los Naranjos, Las Brisas and Aloha — are a few minutes away in Nueva Andalucía. Puerto Banús and the beaches, at around 5 km, are roughly a ten-minute drive, as is San Pedro de Alcántara with its relaxed promenade and town life; central Marbella is about 8 km, nearer twenty minutes depending on traffic. For families, Aloha College in Nueva Andalucía (British curriculum and IB) is a quick run down the hill, with Atalaya International School over towards the Estepona side and the schools of San Pedro also within easy reach. Málaga airport is about 45 minutes on the AP-7 toll road. Day to day you're a short drive from the supermarkets and restaurants of La Quinta and San Pedro, with everything Marbella offers not far beyond.
We're a small family agency, Bianca and Omèr, and we've spent twenty years on this coast, much of it walking buyers around La Quinta. We won't dress a home up in adjectives or rush you to an offer. We'll tell you which streets get the breeze and which sit in the afternoon glare, which plots have a view that's protected and which a future build could spoil, and we'll always be honest when a villa is over-priced and why. If you'd like a straight, local read on what's worth buying in The Hills and what isn't, drop us a line.
The Hills is made up of detached contemporary villas, typically four to seven bedrooms. Internal built areas generally run from around 590 square metres on the smaller models up to roughly 1,000 to 1,080 square metres on the largest, set on plots that range from about 950 square metres to over 2,600 square metres. These are substantial family houses with home cinemas, spa areas and infinity pools, not compact holiday homes.
Villas in The Hills sit at the upper end of the La Quinta market. Given the plot sizes, the build quality and the panoramic positioning, you'd typically expect them in the multi-million-euro bracket, generally running well above the entry-level La Quinta villa and into the figures usually associated with prime Golf Valley new-build. We give a current, honest figure on any specific house rather than a headline band, since position on the slope changes value considerably.
Buyers tend to be families and second-home owners who want a turnkey contemporary villa with privacy, security and golf and sea views in one place. The double-gated setting, the proximity to La Quinta Golf and the Golf Valley courses, and the short drives to Puerto Banus, San Pedro and international schools make it suit both permanent residents and people splitting the year between here and elsewhere.
The Hills is an elevated villa community within La Quinta, Benahavís, just inland from Nueva Andalucía on the western Costa del Sol. It is double-gated: you pass through a community entrance and most villas then have their own private gate, with 24-hour security across the urbanisation. The position is high enough to give sea and Golf Valley views while remaining about a ten-minute drive down to Puerto Banús and the coast.
Almost entirely large detached contemporary villas, many of them recent builds or built to order: open-plan living, full-height glazing, infinity pools, basement levels with cinema, gym and spa, and landscaped plots that work with the hillside. Apartments and townhouses are rare inside The Hills itself, so buyers wanting those usually look to neighbouring parts of La Quinta.
The Hills is at the upper end of the La Quinta market. As a rough guide, contemporary villas here generally run from the mid-single-digit millions of euros, with the largest, newest, view-led homes reaching well into eight figures. For context, more modest independent villas elsewhere in La Quinta can start under €2 million and nearby townhouses under €1 million, so The Hills is a clear step up in plot, privacy and build quality.
La Quinta Golf & Country Club, a 27-hole course designed by Manuel Piñero, sits directly below The Hills, and the Golf Valley courses of Los Naranjos, Las Brisas and Aloha are a few minutes away in Nueva Andalucía. The Westin La Quinta resort and spa is close by. The beaches and marina at Puerto Banús, around 5 km away, are roughly a ten-minute drive, with San Pedro de Alcántara's beach and promenade about the same.
Yes. Aloha College in Nueva Andalucía, offering the British curriculum and IB, is a short drive down the hill, and Atalaya International School towards the Estepona/Benahavís border is around twenty minutes; San Pedro de Alcántara also has schooling options nearby. The gated security, quiet streets and outdoor, golf-and-beach lifestyle make it a practical, calm base for families, with Málaga airport about 45 minutes away on the AP-7.
