QuintEssence is a residential development in Marbella, Málaga, focusing on penthouse apartments. The project is completed and offers homes with two bedrooms and a living area of approximately 82 m². Located at 129 meters above sea level, the site provides panoramic views. The development includes 96 homes across a maximum of three floors, emphasizing communal facilities such as outdoor pools, a heated indoor pool, and a spa. The project is situated near essential amenities and offers various customization options for the residences.
Comparison with nearby projects like Almazara Views (from €620,000) and Be Aloha (from €475,000) places QuintEssence in a higher price segment for this property type. Unlike seafront projects, Altos de los Monteros offers more varied landscapes and elevation. The pricing of €575,000 to €1,350,000 reflects the finishing quality, outdoor space, and included resort facilities. Projects like Breeze in Marbella share a modern architectural focus, but QuintEssence distinguishes itself with fully established gardens and immediate availability.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The project is located in the Altos de los Monteros district of Marbella. This area is characterized by a forested environment on a hillside. The distance to the coast is approximately 5 kilometers as the crow flies. The site is strategically located near the A-7 highway, providing quick access to surrounding cities, though this implies potential noise from infrastructure. The immediate environment is residential with a natural, green aesthetic.
The penthouses are designed for residents who value outdoor space. Each unit features a solarium and a private terrace, extending living space outdoors. The layout includes two bedrooms and two bathrooms, suitable for couples or small families. The inclusion of air conditioning, underfloor heating, and home automation meets modern comfort and climate control requirements in Southern Spain.
Construction of QuintEssence is complete. The homes are immediately available for occupancy or rental. The handover is 'completed', meaning buyers face no waiting time typical of off-plan projects. The communal amenities, including 20,000 m² of gardens and the social club, have been finished and are in use.
This project is not suitable for buyers seeking a 'beach walk from the doorstep'. The nearest beach is 5 km away. The location requires a car for daily mobility; public transport is limited. Due to the proximity to the main highway (A-7), there is some traffic noise to consider.
This project suits those active outside the home but valuing a modern, secure base. It fits golfers due to short distances to various courses, and those wanting to escape city center bustle without isolation. It is also an option for investors seeking a property in a resort-style complex with rental potential. Those wanting to avoid hills should note the location on a slope requires fitness for walking or reliance on a car for errands.
The homes feature materials focused on durability and aesthetics. Flooring consists of large-format porcelain stoneware (75x75 cm) by Gunni & Trentino, available in Prestige White, Cream, or Pearl. Shower walls use ceramic tiles in 30x90 cm format. Features include white lacquered wooden interior doors and smooth plastic paint on ceilings. Kitchens and bathrooms are fully fitted with integrated appliances.
Prices for the penthouses range from €575,000 to €1,350,000. This spread reflects differences in size, view, and position within the complex. Listed prices are starting prices and exclude additional costs like taxes and notary fees. Note that prices in popular regions like Marbella fluctuate based on market demand and specific unit availability.
QuintEssence offers a living environment balancing residential tranquility with connectivity. Mornings often start with sun on the southwest-oriented solarium. Via the A-7, amenities like supermarkets and medical centers are a few minutes away. The neighborhood itself is quiet; the 96 homes are embedded in greenery around the buildings. For beach lovers, this requires a drive to the Marbella coastline. The proximity to golf courses like Santa María Golf & Country Club (6.8 km) makes it practical for golfers, while the terrain is hilly, meaning walking locally involves slopes.
The Marbella environment offers a mix of nature and urban facilities. With 159,786 inhabitants, there is vibrancy, but Altos de los Monteros remains quiet. Humidity is average and the climate mild. Facilities in the region are extensive, ranging from sports centers to marinas. For daily groceries, a supermarket is 1.9 km away. Proximity to international schools (5.3 km) and hospitals (2.2 km) supports livability for families or expats.
The map shows QuintEssence in Altos de los Monteros, immediately south of the A-7 highway. Green circles indicate distances to the airport (AGP) and major urban centers. Note the proximity of various golf courses in the immediate vicinity.
QuintEssence is located in eastern Marbella, known as the 'Costa del Golf'. Its position is central between Malaga (west) and Estepona (east). The project benefits from Marbella's infrastructure, including La Cañada Shopping Center, but retains a suburban feel. The distance to the tourist center of Marbella is close enough for occasional visits yet far enough for quiet.
The nearest beaches are Playa Canina Ventura del Mar (5.0 km) and Playa de la Bajadilla (3.5 km). Marbella center and Puerto José Banús are 8 and 4.6 km away respectively. Malaga Airport is reachable at 35 km (approx. 40-45 mins drive). The area has 11 public transport lines and 50 stops, but a car is highly recommended.
