Villa en venta en La Quinta

An entire lower floor built for wellness rather than storage or parking is what sets Casa Orquidea apart: a newly built villa in El Herrojo Alto, the gated community at altitude within La Quinta, Benahavís, with panoramic views over the coast and mountains.

The house measures 1,696 m² on a 1,963 m² plot, with eight bedrooms, nine bathrooms, a guest cloakroom and 612 m² of terraces. The main floor is organised around natural light: a glazed entrance hall, a living room with fireplace, a large dining room and a contemporary kitchen extended by an outdoor kitchen for entertaining, with two guest en-suite bedrooms at this level. Upstairs, three more en-suite bedrooms include a master suite of over 70 m² with dressing room and private terrace with jacuzzi.

The lower floor, close to 800 m², is completely open to natural light and not a basement, which changes how it functions daily: several lounges, games room, cinema room, a full gym and an indoor spa with its own pool and jacuzzi, all with natural light. Three more en-suite bedrooms at this level include one with private entrance and kitchenette, suitable for staff or guests needing real independence. An office, underfloor heating in the bathrooms and a garage for six cars complete the amenities.

El Herrojo Alto is reached by quiet, tree-lined streets within the grounds, with 24-hour security. La Quinta's golf courses and restaurants are within easy reach, with Marbella and Puerto Banús a short drive away.

Very few houses at this price offer 1,696 m² with a complete, open wellness floor. The trade-off is the garden: at 1,963 m², the plot is compact relative to the build, so outdoor living happens across the 612 m² of terraces rather than expansive lawns.
