Villa for sale in La Quinta

Three names carry real weight behind The Hills 8: architecture by Tobal, interiors by Pedro Peña, construction by B Solis. The villa sits within The Hills, a gated enclave of individual homes on the slopes of La Quinta, Benahavís, and offers 851 m2 built on a 1,379 m2 plot, with seven bedrooms, seven bathrooms and three guest toilets, facing views that sweep across the Mediterranean coastline.

The main level is a run of open-plan spaces where floor-to-ceiling glazing keeps the boundary between indoors and out fairly blurred. Reception rooms, a bespoke kitchen and a formal dining area lead onto covered terraces, gardens and the pool: a layout that works equally for a quiet evening at home or for entertaining at scale. Pedro Peña's interiors lean on natural stone, warm timber and bespoke joinery, aiming for something that will still look right in ten years rather than an immediate but fleeting impact.

Upstairs, the bedroom suites are arranged to take the sea view, led by a principal suite with its own private outlook. The 293 m2 of terraces keep every level connected to the setting outside.

La Quinta's golf courses and restaurants are minutes away, schools and Marbella itself a short drive, and the gates plus the hillside position keep the enclave properly private.

Seven suites at this specification suit a large household, or one that hosts constantly and needs the space to do it comfortably. The plot itself is efficient rather than sprawling: it's the views and the craftsmanship carrying the price here, not the size of the garden.
