This key-ready penthouse is located in La Quinta, a residential urbanisation in the municipality of Benahavís on the western Costa del Sol. The property offers three bedrooms and three bathrooms across 130 m² of living space, with a private terrace and solarium oriented to the west. Frontline golf views form the main characteristic of the setting. The apartment is sold fully furnished with a fitted kitchen, fitted wardrobes and air conditioning, within a gated complex with 24-hour security, a communal pool and communal gardens. The asking price is fixed at €1,250,000.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
La Quinta is an established residential area within Benahavís, set inland from the coast in a golf-dominated environment. The urbanisation lies roughly 10 km from Marbella as the crow flies. Puerto Banús, Nueva Andalucía and San Pedro de Alcántara are described as within easy reach by car. The immediate surroundings consist of golf course greens and low-density housing rather than a town centre.
The penthouse suits a household seeking three bedrooms and three bathrooms with space for guests, combined with substantial outdoor areas. The west-facing terrace and solarium extend living space into the open air, with afternoon and evening sun during the warmer months. Communal pool and garden facilities reduce private maintenance obligations, while air conditioning and a fully fitted kitchen allow immediate occupation.
This is not a new-build project. The property is an existing home completed in 1990 and is currently key-ready, meaning it can be transferred in its present condition without a construction or delivery phase. No off-plan payments or build timelines apply. The stated condition is excellent, and the apartment is delivered fully furnished.
The property offers no private pool and no private garden; both facilities are communal. There is no mention of a private parking space or storage room in the available data. With 130 m² of living area on a 1990 build, the layout predates some contemporary open-plan standards. No information is available regarding the energy performance certificate. Buyers should verify community fees and any planned building works independently.

This property fits a buyer who places golf views and a quiet, green setting above coastal proximity. Households wanting three bedrooms and three bathrooms for family use or regular guests will find the layout practical, particularly since each bathroom reduces scheduling pressure in the mornings. It also suits owners who travel frequently or use the home part-time: the gated complex, 24-hour security and alarm system are specifically relevant for long absences. Buyers seeking a move-in-ready purchase will value the key-ready status, full furnishing and fitted kitchen, which removes the typical renovation and procurement phase after transfer. The west-facing orientation and solarium appeal to those who prioritise afternoon and evening outdoor living. Conversely, the property is less aligned with buyers who want to walk to the beach, shops or nightlife, as the urbanisation is car-dependent and oriented around the golf course. Buyers expecting a private pool or private garden will find only communal alternatives. Those focused on new-build energy standards should note the 1990 construction date and have the installation and insulation condition assessed technically. As a permanent residence it works for a couple or family comfortable with driving; as a holiday home it offers lock-up-and-leave convenience within reach of Puerto Banús, Nueva Andalucía and San Pedro de Alcántara.
The apartment is presented in excellent condition and sold fully furnished, which in practice means the buyer acquires a complete interior without a furnishing project after completion. The kitchen is fully fitted, the bedrooms include fitted wardrobes, and the interior photographs show a contemporary style with a wooden headboard in the main bedroom, an open-plan dining and living area, and a modern vanity unit with a round mirror in the bathroom. Climate control is provided by air conditioning. The bathroom and interior finishes visible in the images suggest a renovation or refurbishment has taken place at some point, though no date is recorded in the available data. The outdoor areas include a covered terrace and a private terrace, plus a solarium, giving three distinct exterior zones with different degrees of shade and exposure. As a 1990 construction, the building envelope predates current energy regulations; buyers with specific requirements regarding insulation values, glazing or an energy performance certificate should request the available documentation and commission a technical survey. The complex-level facilities comprise a communal pool, communal gardens, a gated entrance, 24-hour security and an alarm installation within the property. WiFi is installed. In summary, the finishing level as presented is residential rather than developer-spec new build: furnished, functional and maintained, with the technical verification of an older building remaining a buyer-side task.
The asking price is a fixed €1,250,000 for the property as offered, including its full furnishing and fitted kitchen. This is an existing resale transaction rather than a price-list project, so there is no range of unit types or from-price structure. At 130 m² of living space, plus terrace and solarium, the price reflects the frontline golf position within Benahavís and the security infrastructure of the complex. Comparable new-build apartments further east on the coast are marketed from substantially lower starting prices, but those concern different locations, typologies and delivery phases. Availability is immediate given the key-ready status.
Daily life in this penthouse is organised around the golf outlook and the outdoor areas. The west-facing orientation means the terrace receives sun from midday onwards, making it usable for lunches, afternoon reading and evening meals during most of the year, while the solarium adds a second, more open-air level for sunbathing. Inside, the three-bedroom, three-bathroom layout allows a household to accommodate guests without sharing bathrooms, which is a practical arrangement for both permanent residence and holiday use. The open-plan dining and living area visible in the property photographs connects directly to the outdoor space, so the boundary between interior and terrace living is fluid. As a frontline golf setting, the immediate environment is quiet and green, with views across fairways rather than towards roads or construction. The gated complex with 24-hour security and an alarm system means the home can be left unoccupied for longer periods, a relevant consideration for second-home owners. Practical errands require a short drive: the wider Benahavís and Marbella area provides restaurants, pharmacies, banks and supermarkets, but nothing within immediate walking distance of significance is recorded. Life here therefore assumes car use for daily provisioning, with the compensating benefit of tranquillity and established planting. The municipality of Benahavís is known for its restaurant scene in the village itself, a short drive uphill, while the coastal strip with beaches and marinas lies in the other direction.
La Quinta sits on the western side of the Benahavís municipality, surrounded by golf courses and residential urbanisations. The wider region records an average annual temperature of 18.8°C with monthly averages between 12°C and 27°C, conditions that support year-round use of the terraces for much of the year. Marbella lies roughly 10 km away as the crow flies, and Málaga city approximately 56 km, giving access to provincial-level services, culture and an international airport within about an hour by road. The immediate urbanisation records an unusually dense amenity landscape within a 2 km radius: dozens of restaurants, pharmacies and cafés are registered in the dataset, alongside numerous primary and secondary schools and 17 health centres, which indicates that this part of the coast functions year-round rather than seasonally. The area is flat to gently inclined, with an elevation of about 21 m and a gradient towards the sea of under one per cent, so walking and cycling are practical on the mainly residential roads. Public transport is available with 8 lines and 50 stops recorded, though the pattern serves the coastal corridor; a car remains the practical mode for golf, beach and shopping trips. Train stations are registered within 1.2 to 1.4 km straight-line distance, connecting the area to the regional rail network.

Within the Costa del Sol as a whole, La Quinta belongs to the Benahavís golf belt between Marbella and Estepona, an area characterised by residential urbanisations, golf courses and hillside views rather than by dense coastal development. Marbella, roughly 10 km away as the crow flies and home to around 148,000 people, functions as the principal urban reference for shopping, healthcare and services. Málaga city, at about 56 km, adds provincial capital facilities and the international airport. The position combines inland tranquillity with coastal access, a balance that defines much of the western Costa del Sol housing market.
The nearest registered beach, Playa de la Misericordia, lies 2.3 km away as the crow flies, with Playa de San Andrés at a similar distance; actual road distance and travel time are longer. Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport is approximately 5 km in a straight line from the registered location data, making flight connections a short drive, while Gibraltar Airport is roughly 101 km away. Golf is the defining nearby recreation: several courses are registered within a 6 to 9 km band, including Club de Golf Málaga Parador at 6.0 km straight-line and Club de Golf de Guadalhorce at 6.4 km. Two marinas lie about 4.0 km away. Daily amenities are dense in the surrounding area, with dozens of restaurants, pharmacies and banks within 2 km. Electric vehicle charging points are available from roughly 1.8 km onwards. Public transport covers the corridor with 8 lines and 50 stops. A car is advisable for golf, beach and shopping trips despite this coverage.

The climate data for the area shows an average annual temperature of 18.8°C, with monthly averages ranging from 12°C in the coldest month to 27°C at the summer peak. This pattern means heating needs are modest and outdoor living is feasible for most of the year. The swimming season is recorded at five months with water temperatures of at least 20°C, concentrating beach and pool use from late spring to early autumn. The elevation of roughly 21 m above sea level, combined with a gradient to the sea of 0.7%, produces a flat terrain without strenuous slopes, relevant for cycling, walking and general accessibility. The frontline golf setting adds a green, planted buffer around the property, with the fairways providing the principal natural view. Rainfall in this part of Andalucía is concentrated in the cooler months, leaving long dry stretches in summer that suit terrace use but increase irrigation demand for the surrounding landscapes. The west-facing orientation of the penthouse aligns with warm afternoon light and evening sun over the course.

Beaches are within a short drive: Playa de la Misericordia and Playa de San Andrés both lie 2.3 km away in a straight line, and Playa Sacaba at 3.2 km. The coast here consists of broad urban beaches backed by the Málaga seafront. For golfers, the registered courses within range include 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), in addition to the golf environment directly around La Quinta itself. Sports facilities nearby include the Escuela de Tenis Cortijo Alto tennis school at 0.3 km and two football pitches within 0.6 km. Several viewpoints are registered within 3 to 5 km, including Mirador Torre del Atabal at 3.2 km, offering elevated panoramas over the coastline. Two marinas at approximately 4.0 km provide berths and waterfront dining. This combination places beach, golf and racquet sports all within a compact radius.

At a fixed price of €1,250,000, this penthouse occupies a different market segment from the comparable new-build projects currently marketed on the eastern and western Costa del Sol. Aquamar in Torre del Mar starts from €269,950, Lantana Residencial in Mijas from €205,000, and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona from €321,000. These are entry-level new-build price lists for units of generally smaller size and different positioning, whereas this transaction concerns a resale penthouse with a completed specification: full furnishing, three bathrooms, a solarium and a frontline golf setting within a secured complex. The price per square metre of roughly €9,600 on living area alone, with terraces and the solarium additional, places the property in the upper bracket of the regional resale market, consistent with the Benahavís golf belt where views, security and low density carry weight. What the comparables offer in exchange is new construction standards, developer warranties and community facilities designed to current regulations, elements a 1990 building cannot match without refurbishment records. The western Costa del Sol around Marbella and Benahavís has historically traded at a premium over the eastern stretch towards Torre del Mar, driven by international demand and golf infrastructure. Buyers comparing this penthouse with the new-build options are effectively weighing a finished, furnished and located product against off-plan or early-phase purchases at a lower entry cost but with delivery risk, furnishing costs and less established surroundings. The proximity of Puerto Banús, Nueva Andalucía and San Pedro de Alcántara further supports the positioning, as rental and resale liquidity in this corridor historically exceed those of more peripheral coastal towns.
