What is La Quinta?
La Quinta is one of Benahavís's most established and family-friendly residential communities, built around the La Quinta Golf & Country Club and framed by the dramatic silhouette of La Concha mountain. The area sits at a comfortable elevation between the coast and the higher mountain estates, delivering excellent views, a genuine sense of community and easy access to schools, shops and beaches.
The development offers a mix of property types uncommon in Benahavís: from affordable apartments and townhouses within the golf resort to large detached villas on the surrounding hillsides. This range has created a diverse, year-round population rather than the purely seasonal occupancy seen in some of the more exclusive estates.
Prices start around €250K for a two-bedroom apartment with golf views, rising through €600K for townhouses and €1.5M to €5M for detached villas with panoramic sea and mountain views. La Quinta's combination of community atmosphere, golf lifestyle and competitive pricing makes it one of the most popular entry points into Benahavís living.
