La Alquería area guide
About La Alquería
La Alquería is a hillside residential area in Benahavís, best known for contemporary villas, generous plots and open views across the coastline. It sits close to the La Alquería Golf area and the wider Atalaya/Benahavís corridor, which is why many buyers see it as a “best of both worlds” location — peaceful at home, yet highly practical day to day.
The housing stock here leans modern. While you’ll still see Mediterranean styling, a large proportion of homes are contemporary builds or recent renovations, designed around light, views and outdoor living.
Location & accessibility
La Alquería sits just inland from the A-7/AP-7 corridor, making it easy to reach San Pedro, Puerto Banús, Marbella and Estepona without feeling like you live “on the strip.” It’s also well placed for Benahavís village when you want restaurants and a more traditional Andalusian atmosphere.
- San Pedro de Alcántara — around 10–15 minutes
- Puerto Banús — approximately 15–20 minutes
- Marbella centre — around 20–25 minutes
- Estepona town — around 15–20 minutes
- Málaga Airport — typically 45–55 minutes
Views, elevation & why buyers love the setting
Because La Alquería sits on elevated terrain, many properties enjoy long views toward the Mediterranean, Gibraltar and, on clear days, the North African coastline. The Serranía de Ronda mountain backdrop adds scale and a sense of space, and the low-density layout keeps the area feeling open rather than crowded.
This is one of the reasons demand remains consistent: even buyers who are not “view-first” often recognise the lifestyle benefit of light, privacy and open sightlines.
Homes, architecture & plot style
Property in La Alquería is largely villa-led, with modern architecture common — clean lines, open-plan interiors and large windows designed to bring in natural light. Many homes are built around terrace living, with private pools, landscaped gardens and outdoor dining areas that work well for both full-time living and extended holidays.
You’ll also find select apartment and penthouse options, which can appeal to buyers who want the location and views with lower maintenance than a standalone villa.
Golf & lifestyle
Golf is part of the local identity. La Alquería sits close to several highly regarded courses, and the wider “golf valley” feel is a genuine draw for buyers who play regularly. Even if golf isn’t your priority, this often translates into well-kept surroundings and a quieter residential atmosphere.
Schools, services & everyday convenience
For families, La Alquería is a practical base. International schools, supermarkets and daily services are a short drive away, and the coastal towns provide everything from healthcare to sports clubs. This convenience is a major reason the area performs well as a year-round residence, not only a second home location.
Property prices in La Alquería, Benahavís
Pricing varies by view corridor, plot size and the age/spec of the build. Contemporary homes with open sea views tend to command the strongest figures, while properties with renovation potential can offer an entry point for buyers who want the location and are happy to modernise over time.
Compared with some ultra-prime gated estates, La Alquería can feel more “liveable value” — still high-end, but often with more day-to-day practicality and easier coastal access.
View corridors and orientation play a major role in pricing here — two similar-sized villas can differ significantly depending on elevation and open sea exposure.
Who La Alquería suits best
La Alquería suits buyers who want a modern villa lifestyle, good privacy and strong views, while remaining close to schools, golf and the coast. It works especially well for families relocating, second-home owners who want easy access, and buyers who value contemporary design.
