Interior Description

Designed across three levels, the villa’s interior flows effortlessly between living, dining and outdoor terraces. The main living area is open-plan, with expansive glazing that floods the space with natural light and frames uninterrupted views of the Mediterranean. Sleek architectural lines are softened by warm textures and custom pieces from Omeo Design, creating a refined yet welcoming atmosphere.

The showpiece kitchen features Italian Snaidero cabinetry designed by Paolo Pininfarina, high-end appliances and an ergonomically planned layout that suits both day-to-day cooking and entertaining. In total, there are five spacious bedrooms and eight bathrooms, six of them en-suite. Each suite is conceived as a private retreat with generous wardrobe space and, in many cases, direct access to terraces that bring the landscape into the home.

Leisure & Entertaining Spaces

On the lower level, the villa offers dedicated leisure zones that make it easy to enjoy the property year-round. A cinema room provides an intimate setting for film nights, while a custom-built wine cellar showcases bottles behind glass, adding a dramatic focal point for tastings and gatherings. Flexible lounge areas on this floor can be adapted for games, a library or a gym, depending on lifestyle needs.

Throughout the home, a smart automation system manages lighting, climate and security, while solar panels and underfloor heating support energy efficiency and comfort in every season. The result is an el herrojo villa that balances contemporary design with practical everyday living.

Outdoor Living

Outside, sculpted terraces cascade towards a stunning infinity-edge saltwater pool that appears to blend into the horizon. Multiple lounging and dining zones are positioned to capture the changing light from sunrise to sunset, with a jacuzzi, fire pit and dedicated chill-out areas creating a true resort-style experience at home.

Landscaped gardens, maintained via an automatic irrigation system, wrap around the villa and enhance privacy, while the elevated position ensures far-reaching views over the coastline and surrounding hills. Whether hosting large gatherings or enjoying quiet evenings outdoors, the design encourages seamless indoor–outdoor living.

Community & Location

El Herrojo Alto is one of the most exclusive enclaves within La ​ Quinta, known for its serenity, mature landscaping and panoramic sea and mountain views. The secure 24-hour gated community sits moments from La Quinta Golf & Country Club, a 27-hole course designed by Manuel Piñero, and close to the Westin hotel with spa and dining options.

From here, San Pedro de Alcántara, Puerto Banús and Marbella’s beaches are around a 10–15 minute drive away, while nearby Nueva Andalucía and Guadalmina offer supermarkets, restaurants and everyday services. Families benefit from access to respected international schools such as Aloha College and Colegio San José, making the location practical for both full-time residents and second-home owners.
