Andalusian Villa with Panoramic Sea Views in El Herrojo Alto
This El Herrojo Alto villa for sale sits high on a hillside within a prestigious 24-hour gated community in La Quinta, offering panoramic sea and mountain views, eight bedrooms and a rare sense of space and privacy.

- Eight bedrooms and nine bathrooms
- Panoramic sea and mountain views from multiple areas
- Classic Andalusian architecture with columns, tiled roof and wrought iron details
- Multiple south-facing terraces, covered porches and alfresco dining areas

Interior Description
The villa is arranged across several levels and feels stately and light, with soaring ceilings, generous room proportions and an abundance of natural daylight. Additionally, the eight-bedroom, nine-bathroom layout creates flexibility for large families, frequent guests or staff accommodation. The interior flow naturally connects to terraces and porches, which makes the home well suited to relaxed, indoor–outdoor living throughout the year.
Timeless architectural details give the property real presence, including columns, traditional roof tiles and wrought iron balconies. Moreover, the solid construction provides an excellent foundation for a high-end modern transformation, whether you want to preserve Andalusian charm or introduce a cleaner, contemporary finish.
Outdoor Living, Pool & Views
The hillside position delivers panoramic views across the sea and surrounding mountains, creating a dramatic backdrop from many parts of the home. Multiple south-facing terraces, covered porches and dedicated dining and lounge areas allow you to follow the sun or retreat into shade. Meanwhile, the large private pool is set within mature gardens, offering privacy and a calm atmosphere that feels like a private retreat.
Renovation & Expansion Potential
One of the key attractions is the scope to reimagine the villa into a modern luxury residence. The generous built area and versatile auxiliary spaces—such as the gym, storage rooms and multi-purpose areas—create options for a cinema room, spa, additional guest suites or dedicated work zones. However, any changes would be subject to professional advice and the relevant permissions.
Community & Location
El Herrojo Alto is one of the most exclusive gated communities in the La Quinta area, valued for its security, privacy and elevated outlook. Therefore, it attracts international buyers who want a refined residential setting close to golf, nature and Marbella’s social life. Additionally, you have convenient access to La Quinta Golf, international schools and the amenities of Benahavís, Nueva Andalucía and Puerto Banús.

FAQs
- How much are the total purchase costs?As a guide in Andalucía, allow roughly ~10% on a resale property (7% ITP + approx. 3% total for solicitor, notary and registry fees). On a purchase price of €2,900,000 this means allowing around €290,000 for taxes and costs, giving a rough total budget in the region of €3,190,000.
