A five-bedroom detached villa on a frontline golf plot in La Quinta, in the Málaga region of the Costa del Sol. The property offers 527 m² of living space on a 1,406 m² plot, completed in 2002 and delivered key-ready. The house includes five en-suite bedrooms, a private swimming pool, south-facing terraces and views across the golf course towards the Mediterranean. The asking price is fixed at €2,675,000. La Quinta combines a residential setting with golf on the doorstep and coastal towns within short driving distance.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The villa stands on a frontline golf position within the La Quinta urbanisation, in the Málaga province. Marbella lies approximately 10 km away as the crow flies, while Málaga city is 56 km distant. The nearest beach, Playa de la Misericordia, is 2.3 km in a straight line. The immediate setting is residential, with a tennis school 300 m away and football pitches within 600 m.
The property suits households seeking generous space: five en-suite bedrooms across two levels, a lounge with fireplace, separate dining area and a fully equipped kitchen. Outdoor living is centred on terraces, landscaped gardens, a barbecue area and a private pool. Air conditioning, fitted wardrobes, a storage room and WiFi are present. Marble flooring runs through the interior.
This is an existing home, not a new-build project. Construction was completed in 2002 and the property is described as being in good condition and key-ready, meaning it can be occupied directly after purchase. No construction phase, off-plan payments or indicative delivery dates apply. Any refurbishment would be at the buyer's own initiative and cost.
The property does not offer a communal pool or communal facilities, as it is a private villa. There is no mention of underfloor heating, a gym, home automation or a lift in the documented features. The home dates from 2002, so buyers comparing against new-build standards should assess installations and fittings accordingly. Parking arrangements are not specified in the available data.
This property fits a buyer profile that needs both scale and privacy: five en-suite bedrooms remove the friction of shared bathrooms in a large family or a household that hosts guests for extended periods. The principal suite with its own terrace and sea view suits buyers who want a distinct private zone within the house. A frontline golf position appeals to golfers who value walking access to the course, while the villa's orientation and terraces suit buyers who plan to spend most of the year on the Costa del Sol rather than a few summer weeks, the five-month swimming season and mild winters support extended use. The property also fits buyers relocating permanently, given the density of daily amenities within 2 km and schools in the wider area, the data lists 80 primary and 59 secondary schools regionally. Households wanting a lock-up-and-leave apartment should note that a villa of this size with a private pool and garden requires ongoing maintenance, whether through staff or service companies. Buyers comparing new builds may weigh the 2002 construction year against modern specifications; the documented features cover air conditioning, marble flooring and quality kitchen appliances, but buyers should verify installations during a viewing. The property is less suitable for buyers seeking a low-maintenance second home or a lower entry price; comparables in the region start at substantially lower from-prices but are apartments or smaller units in different locations. Finally, the fixed asking price structure means negotiation happens on a single property rather than across a developer's price list.
The interior is documented with a focus on quality, natural light and architectural detail. The entrance hall features a stone-vaulted ceiling and an elegant staircase, setting the tone for the rest of the house. Flooring throughout is marble, a durable and cool material suited to the regional climate. The kitchen is described as fully equipped with high-quality materials and premium appliances, meaning the buyer can move in without immediate kitchen investment. All five bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms, an unusual level of bathroom provision that reduces morning congestion in a full house and adds privacy for guests. Fitted wardrobes are installed, and a separate storage room provides space for luggage, sports equipment and seasonal items. Climate control consists of air conditioning; the lounge also has a fireplace, which covers mild winter evenings. Outdoor finishes include expansive terraces, landscaped gardens and a private swimming pool, with a barbecue area and a covered terrace extending usable outdoor space beyond peak summer. The home was completed in 2002 and is documented as being in good condition. Buyers should treat this as a twenty-plus-year-old property: installations such as the boiler, electrics and pool equipment typically warrant inspection during the purchase process, and any modernisation, for example updating bathrooms or adding home automation, would be at the buyer's initiative. No energy performance certificate details or cadastral references are reproduced here. The overall picture is one of solid, generously specified construction rather than contemporary new-build standards, with the architectural character of the vaulted entrance as a distinguishing element.
The asking price is fixed at €2,675,000 for the complete property: a five-bedroom, five-bathroom villa of 527 m² on a 1,406 m² plot. This is an existing home, so no price list, unit variations or from-price apply. The price reflects the property as documented, completed in 2002, in good condition, with a private pool, five en-suite bathrooms and a frontline golf position with sea views. Prospective buyers should budget additionally for purchase costs such as transfer tax, notary and registry fees, plus annual running costs including community fees where applicable, IBI and utilities. Availability is immediate in principle, as the home is key-ready.
Daily life at this villa is organised around a clear separation between levels and between indoor and outdoor living. The main floor holds the lounge with fireplace, a separate dining area, the kitchen and a guest bedroom with en-suite bathroom. The living room opens directly onto the pool area, which shortens the distance between everyday cooking, eating and swimming during the warmer months. Three further en-suite bedrooms sit upstairs, including a principal suite with a private terrace oriented towards the golf course and the sea. This layout works for households that receive guests regularly, since visitors can be accommodated without sharing bathrooms. The plot measures 1,406 m², providing gardens and several terraces, including a covered terrace usable outside the summer season and a barbecue area for outdoor dining. The south-facing orientation extends the hours of usable daylight on the terraces across the year. The frontline golf setting means the immediate surroundings are dominated by fairways rather than through-traffic, and the nearest sports facility, a tennis school, is only 300 m away as the crow flies. Within 2 km there are roughly 49 restaurants, 81 pharmacies, 27 banks and 26 cafés, so daily errands can be run without long journeys. The house was completed in 2002 and is documented as being in good condition, with air conditioning, fitted wardrobes, a storage room and marble flooring among the installed features. WiFi is present. The climate data for the area shows an average annual temperature of 18.8 °C with monthly averages between 12 and 27 °C, meaning the pool, terraces and barbecue area are usable for a large part of the year, with a swimming season of approximately five months at water temperatures of 20 °C or above.
The villa sits in a residential urbanisation with golf as its immediate neighbour. Daily amenities are close: within 2 km the area counts 49 restaurants, 81 pharmacies, 27 banks, 26 cafés and 9 dentists, so most errands are a short drive at most. Healthcare access includes 17 health centres in the surrounding area. For sport, a tennis school lies 300 m away as the crow flies and football pitches within 600 m. The nearest beach, Playa de la Misericordia, is 2.3 km in a straight line, with Playa de San Andrés at the same distance; actual road distances are longer. The terrain towards the coast is essentially flat, with a gradient of 0.7%, which makes cycling and walking realistic options for local trips. Public transport covers 8 lines with 50 stops in the area, and train stations including Barbarela (1.2 km straight-line) and El Torcal (1.3 km) provide rail connections. A car remains the practical choice for a villa of this type, particularly for golf clubs, shopping in bulk and trips further along the coast. Tourism infrastructure is substantial, 96 hotels and 12,814 beds regionally, which supports restaurants and services year-round but also means the area is busier in high season. Housing transactions in the area run at approximately 3,916 per year, indicating an active resale market.
The map shows the villa's frontline golf position in La Quinta, with the beaches at 2.3 km straight-line, Marbella 10 km to the southwest and Málaga Airport approximately 5 km to the east. Golf courses, marinas and viewpoints in the surrounding area are marked to give a picture of daily reachable amenities.

Within the Costa del Sol, this location sits on the Málaga side of the region, with Marbella 10 km away as the crow flies and Málaga city 56 km. This positions the property closer to the airport and the provincial capital than the western Costa del Sol resorts, while retaining access to Marbella's services and beaches. The immediate context is urbanisational and golf-oriented rather than resort-front. The combination of frontline golf, sea views and a 5 km straight-line distance to Malaga-Costa del Sol Airport is the defining locational characteristic, placing the villa in the commuter-and-leisure zone between the city and the coast.
Malaga-Costa del Sol Airport lies approximately 5 km away as the crow flies, an exceptionally short distance that makes arrivals and departures straightforward, though buyers should note the flight path proximity this implies. Gibraltar Airport is roughly 101 km away straight-line and Alicante-Elche about 386 km. Marbella is 10 km away in a straight line and Málaga city 56 km, both reachable by car along the coastal route. Golf is the defining nearby amenity: the villa itself is frontline golf, and additional courses within striking distance 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). Beaches at 2.3 km and two marinas at 4.0 km, Marina Real Club Mediterráneo and IGY Málaga Marina, cover coastal recreation. Electric-vehicle charging points are available at 1.8 km and beyond. Public transport consists of 8 lines with 50 stops, plus rail stations within about 1.2–1.4 km straight-line. Road distances exceed straight-line figures throughout.

The climate data points to mild Mediterranean conditions: an average annual temperature of 18.8 °C, monthly averages ranging from 12 °C in the coolest months to 27 °C in summer, and a swimming season of around five months with sea temperatures at or above 20 °C. The elevation is 21 m above sea level and the terrain towards the beach is flat, with a gradient of only 0.7%, so there are no significant slopes between the property and the coast. The south-facing orientation of the villa aligns with the sun path, giving the terraces and pool area long hours of daylight, particularly from autumn through spring when lower sun angles still reach south-facing outdoor spaces. Mountain views are documented alongside golf and sea views, reflecting the position between the coastal plain and the inland hills. For residents, this translates into outdoor living for most of the year: the barbecue and covered terrace remain usable in shoulder seasons, and the fireplace covers cooler winter evenings indoors.

The nearest beaches are Playa de la Misericordia and Playa de San Andrés, both 2.3 km away as the crow flies, with Playa Sacaba at 3.2 km; road distances are longer. Two marinas sit at 4.0 km straight-line, Marina Real Club Mediterráneo and IGY Málaga Marina, covering mooring, waterfront dining and water-based activities. Golf dominates the recreational profile: the villa occupies a frontline golf position, and the wider area offers three additional courses within approximately 6–9 km, including Campo de Golf Miguel Ángel Jiménez. For other sports, a tennis school is 300 m away and football pitches lie within 600 m. Scenic viewpoints in the region include Mirador Torre del Atabal (3.2 km), Mirador de la Alcazaba (4.0 km) and Torre Blanca (4.4 km), all reachable for short outings. The flat terrain towards the coast makes walking and cycling to the beach practical. With 49 restaurants within 2 km and hotel-based dining further along the coast, eating out does not require long journeys.

At a fixed asking price of €2,675,000, this villa occupies a different segment of the Costa del Sol market from the new-build comparables in the region. 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) represent entry-level new construction, typically apartments with communal facilities and shared outdoor space. This property, by contrast, is a substantial resale villa: detached, on a private 1,406 m² plot, with five en-suite bedrooms, a private pool and a frontline golf position with sea views. The comparison is therefore less about price per unit and more about product type. Buyers moving from an off-plan apartment to a villa of this scale take on maintenance responsibility for the pool and garden, gain privacy and space, and avoid community rules and shared facilities. The location also differs: La Quinta sits between Málaga city and Marbella, with the airport about 5 km away as the crow flies, whereas the comparables sit further along the coast in Torre del Mar, Mijas and Estepona. Resale depth in the local market is reasonable, with approximately 3,916 housing transactions per year recorded for the area, indicating an active market should buyers later sell. For households weighing new-build warranties against space and immediacy, this villa offers the latter: it is key-ready, documented in good condition, and can be occupied directly, whereas off-plan purchases involve construction timelines and delivery risk. The trade-off is that a 2002 build does not carry new-build guarantees, and installations should be inspected in the purchase process.
