Description:
Architectural Villa in El Herrojo Alto with Panoramic Sea Views
This architectural villa for sale in La Quinta, Benahavis, is positioned in the ultra-exclusive gated enclave of El Herrojo Alto and offers elevated south-facing views towards Gibraltar and the African coastline. Designed by renowned architect Miguel Tobal, the property combines strong structural foundations, expansive interiors and outstanding long-term investment potential in one of Benahavis’ most secure residential communities.
Property Highlights
- 5-bedroom detached villa in gated El Herrojo Alto
- 5 bathrooms with spacious internal distribution
- 569m² built area on a 1,125m² south-facing plot
- Private 52m² infinity swimming pool
- 69m² of terraces for outdoor living
- Large garden-level entertainment floor
- 24-hour guard-gated security
Interior Description
The villa offers a generous internal layout designed to maximise natural light and Mediterranean views. The main living areas flow openly between lounge, dining and kitchen spaces, creating scale without compromising intimacy. Moreover, floor-to-ceiling glazing strengthens the connection between interior and landscape.
The garden level forms the social heart of the home. Here, a large open-concept kitchen and dining area open directly onto the lawn and pool terrace. This design creates exceptional entertaining capacity, which is rare for elevated hillside properties. Meanwhile, the bedroom suites provide privacy and separation, making the layout well suited to both family living and guest accommodation.
Built in 2003, the structural architecture remains timeless. However, the interior presents an opportunity to modernise finishes to current ultra-luxury standards, unlocking immediate added value.
Terrace & Views
South-facing orientation ensures uninterrupted views across the Mediterranean towards Gibraltar and North Africa. The infinity pool visually merges with the horizon, while the surrounding terraces provide defined areas for dining, sunbathing and relaxation.
Additionally, the expansive lawn is a standout feature. Many La Quinta hillside villas sacrifice garden depth; this property does not. As a result, it offers rare flat outdoor space suitable for families or large-scale gatherings.
Community & Location
El Herrojo Alto is one of the most prestigious sections of La Quinta. The 24-hour manned gate and mobile patrols provide a high level of security and discretion. Furthermore, the elevated position enhances privacy while remaining only minutes from La Quinta Golf.
Puerto Banús can typically be reached within ten minutes, while Marbella town and international schools are easily accessible. Therefore, the location balances seclusion with connectivity, which continues to drive strong capital appreciation in this enclave.

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 €3,950,000 this means allowing around €395,000 for taxes and costs, giving a rough total budget in the region of €4,345,000. That equates to approximately £3,368,000 and $4,746,000 at typical exchange rates. We’ll confirm exact figures when making an offer.
- Is El Herrojo Alto secure?
Yes. The community is guard-gated 24/7 with controlled access and mobile patrols, providing one of the highest security standards within La Quinta.
- Is this property suitable as an investment?
La Quinta and El Herrojo Alto consistently attract international buyers. Moreover, updating the interior to current luxury standards could enhance both resale value and rental appeal.
- How close is the villa to amenities?
La Quinta Golf is moments away, Puerto Banús is around ten minutes by car, and Marbella town is easily accessible. International schools and daily services are also within short driving distance.
- Does the villa have sea views?
Yes. The south-facing orientation provides uninterrupted views towards Gibraltar and the African coastline from principal living areas and terraces.
