This 215 m² corner apartment is located in Altos de La Quinta 2, a gated community in the hills between Nueva Andalucía and Benahavís, directly beside La Quinta Golf & Country Club. The property has three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a large wrap-around terrace with partial sea and panoramic mountain views, a private parking space and a storage room of roughly 15 m². Completed in 2004 and offered key-ready, it carries a fixed asking price of €625,000. The home suits use as a permanent residence, a second home or a long-term rental asset in the Marbella area.
Within the Costa del Sol market, this property competes in a distinct segment from new-build projects such as Aquamar in Torre del Mar (from €269,950), Lantana Residencial in Mijas (from €205,000) and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona (from €321,000). Those three are new-construction developments in the eastern and central Costa del Sol, where entry prices per square metre are lower but locations are further from the Marbella, Benahavís belt. At €625,000 for 215 m², this apartment prices at roughly €2,900 per m² of living space, a figure that reflects the established golf-side location next to La Quinta Golf & Country Club, the corner terrace and the included parking and storage, rather than new-build finishing standards. Buyers weighing the alternatives are effectively choosing between newer specification on the eastern coast and more space plus a mature, gated setting in one of the coast's most established residential areas. The Marbella municipality records consistent transaction volume, and the region's amenity density, dozens of restaurants, pharmacies, banks and schools within a two-kilometre radius of the wider area, supports both permanent residence and rental use. The trade-off is straightforward: new-build projects offer current construction norms and developer payment structures, while this key-ready home offers immediate transfer, a larger floor plan and a location that the newer eastern developments cannot replicate at comparable prices.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
La Quinta sits in the green hills between Nueva Andalucía and Benahavís, at the western edge of the Marbella municipality. The area is defined by its golf course, low-rise residential development and mountain backdrops including La Concha. San Pedro de Alcántara is a 5-minute drive, Puerto Banús 12 minutes and Benahavís village 15 minutes by car.
The apartment offers 215 m² of living space with three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The master bedroom has an en-suite bathroom and a walk-in closet. The corner position produces an oversized terrace with room for dining, lounging and sunbeds. A utility room, fitted wardrobes, air conditioning and a lift add practical day-to-day comfort.
This is an existing home, completed in 2004 and described as being in good condition. It is key-ready, meaning it can be transferred in its current state without a construction waiting period. Furniture is available as an optional purchase, which can shorten the move-in timeline for buyers from abroad.
The property does not include a private pool; swimming pools are communal within the gated community. There is no private garden belonging to the apartment. Sea views are partial rather than frontal. The building dates from 2004, so finishes reflect that construction period rather than current new-build standards. A car is needed for most daily errands.
This property fits several recognisable situations. A family relocating to the Costa del Sol for the schools around San Pedro and Nueva Andalucía would find the three bedrooms, en-suite master and storage practical, with international schools described as close by. Buyers seeking a low-maintenance second home benefit from the gated setting, communal pools and gardens, and key-ready condition, there is no construction phase to wait through, and furniture can optionally be taken over. Long-term investors may note the location next to La Quinta Golf & Country Club, in one of the coast's established rental areas, where three-bedroom units with terraces and parking are in steady demand. The home suits golf players in particular, given the course at the doorstep and several other courses within a short drive. It is less suited to buyers who want to walk to the beach or town, since daily errands require a car, or to those who want a private pool or a contemporary new-build finish. Buyers wanting a frontal, unobstructed sea view should also note that the sea view here is partial, with the mountain panorama as the dominant outlook.
The building was completed in 2004, and the apartment is presented in good condition for its age. The photographic material shows a modern interior treatment: an open-plan living and dining space with sea views, bedrooms with direct access to balcony areas, and a light, neutral colour scheme. The master bedroom has an en-suite bathroom and a walk-in closet, which is relatively generous for the region's apartment stock. Fitted wardrobes are present throughout, reducing the need for additional furniture purchases. Climate control is provided by air conditioning, and a utility room supports practical household management. The specification list also includes a lift in the building, relevant for a property of this size, plus a covered terrace that extends usable outdoor time into the shoulder seasons. As an existing home, the technical baseline reflects 2004 construction standards rather than current new-build regulations; buyers who prioritise the latest insulation or energy performance norms should verify these aspects during a technical inspection. The communal areas, including the landscaped gardens and pools, are maintained by the community, with costs shared among owners. The private covered parking space and the approximately 15 m² storage room are separately valuable in this market, where both are often sold at a premium or are simply unavailable in older complexes.
The apartment is offered at a fixed asking price of €625,000. This is an existing, key-ready home rather than a new-build project, so there is no price list with unit variations. The price reflects a completed 2004 building in good condition, with 215 m² of living space, three bedrooms, two bathrooms, an oversized corner terrace, a private covered parking space and a storage room. Furniture is optional and would be negotiated separately. Buyers comparing against new-build alternatives in the region should account for the age difference as well as the larger living area and established community setting.
Daily life in Altos de La Quinta 2 follows the rhythm of a gated golf-side community. Mornings often begin on the terrace, which, thanks to the south-east orientation, receives sun from early in the day and holds partial sea views alongside panoramas of the mountains, including Marbella's La Concha peak. The corner position makes the terrace considerably larger than in a standard unit, so it functions as an outdoor living room for most of the year rather than a seasonal balcony. Inside, the open-plan living and dining area connects to this outdoor space, and the photos show a bright, neutrally finished interior with sea-facing rooms. The master bedroom operates as a self-contained retreat with its own bathroom and walk-in closet, while the two remaining bedrooms share the second bathroom and can serve family, guests or a home office. Practical logistics are covered by a utility room, fitted wardrobes, a lift in the building, a private covered parking space and a storage room of about 15 m², a size that accommodates luggage, golf equipment or seasonal items. The community itself has landscaped gardens and swimming pools oriented towards the mountains. Groceries, schools and restaurants are a short drive away in San Pedro de Alcántara or Nueva Andalucía, so a car is part of the routine. Evenings tend to be quiet, with the golf course and hills absorbing most noise; the buzz of Puerto Banús is 12 minutes away when wanted.
The immediate surroundings are defined by La Quinta Golf & Country Club and the low-density residential fabric of the hills between Nueva Andalucía and Benahavís. San Pedro de Alcántara, with its full range of shops, supermarkets and services, is 5 minutes away by car. Puerto Banús and its marina, dining and retail are 12 minutes away, and the restaurants of Benahavís village, known across the coast for its concentration of kitchens, are 15 minutes away. Everyday amenities cluster within a two-kilometre radius in the wider area: dozens of restaurants, cafés, pharmacies and banks, plus dental practices. Education is well covered, with a large number of primary and secondary schools in the region, including international options near Marbella. Healthcare access includes multiple health centres in the surrounding municipalities. The area is quiet by nature, residential, green and golf-oriented, with most activity concentrated in the nearby town centres rather than in La Quinta itself. A car is part of daily life here; public transport in this hillside zone is limited compared with the coastal strip.
The map shows the apartment's position in the La Quinta hills, between Nueva Andalucía and Benahavís and inland from the San Pedro coastline. Note that Puerto Banús, Marbella and the beaches sit downhill to the south-east, with La Concha rising immediately to the north, a geography that explains both the views and the short drive to the coast.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
La Quinta occupies a specific position in the Costa del Sol hierarchy: it belongs to the Benahavís, Nueva Andalucía belt that runs inland from the San Pedro coastline, between Marbella (10 km straight-line) and the mountain village of Benahavís. This is the part of the coast where golf courses, gated communities and international schools cluster, closer to Marbella than to the eastern Costa del Sol conurbations around Málaga city (56 km). Algeciras and Gibraltar lie to the west at roughly 58 and 101 km respectively.
Accessibility is organised around the A-7 and AP-7 corridors, which connect La Quinta with the entire Costa del Sol. By car, San Pedro de Alcántara is 5 minutes away, Puerto Banús 12 minutes, Benahavís village 15 minutes and Marbella roughly 10 km as the crow flies. Málaga city lies 56 km in a straight line, and Málaga Airport is around a 45-minute drive from the property. Gibraltar Airport is an alternative at roughly 101 km straight-line distance. The nearest beaches sit a few kilometres down towards the coast, reachable in about ten minutes by car. For regional travel, the nearest train stations in the wider dataset lie 1.2 to 1.4 km away in the Málaga urban area context, and the airport zone offers multiple EV charging points. Within the immediate area, eight public transport lines and 50 stops serve the broader district, although hillside residential locations such as this one are primarily car-dependent in practice.

The regional climate is Mediterranean, with average monthly temperatures ranging from 12°C in the coolest months to 27°C in summer, and an annual average of 18.8°C. The swimming season, when sea temperatures hold at 20°C or above, lasts around five months, roughly May to October. For a south-east facing terrace, this means morning and midday sun for most of the year, with the mountain backdrop of the Sierra de las Nieves range, including La Concha, shaping the views. The elevation of the wider coastal area is low at around 21 metres above sea level, and the gradient towards the sea is a flat 0.7%, though the apartment itself sits in the foothills, so local roads involve some incline. The combination of mild winters and warm, dry summers is what allows the large terrace to function as living space beyond the peak season, an April breakfast or a late-October dinner outdoors are realistic rather than exceptional.

The coast's beaches begin a few minutes' drive from La Quinta, and the wider area holds several Blue Flag standard beaches along the San Pedro and Nueva Andalucía shoreline. Golf is the defining recreation here: the apartment sits directly beside La Quinta Golf & Country Club, and the dataset lists additional courses in the region, including Club de Golf Málaga Parador (6.0 km straight-line), Club de Golf de Guadalhorce (6.4 km) and Campo de Golf Miguel Ángel Jiménez (8.6 km), alongside the well-known courses of Nueva Andalucía's golf valley. Sports facilities in the area include tennis schools and football pitches, with the Escuela de Tenis Cortijo Alto just 0.3 km away in straight-line terms. For walkers and cyclists, the hills between Benahavís and the coast offer mountain routes with viewpoints, while the marinas of Puerto Banús and the Málaga waterfront provide berths and nautical services. The terrace and communal pools cover everyday leisure without leaving the community.
