The Hills 14 is a project for a detached villa under development in the El Herrojo Alto district of Marbella. The project comprises a living area of approximately 1,343 m² on a plot of 2,374 m². The design provides for 8 bedrooms and 8 bathrooms, distributed over multiple floors with a lift installation. The construction status is 'under construction' with an indicative completion in the fourth quarter of 2026. The villa is positioned on a site with a 2.5% slope, facing west, at an altitude of 129 meters above sea level.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The project is situated in El Herrojo Alto, a residential area that is part of the municipality of Marbella. The location is near the coastline of the Costa del Sol but possesses a direct setting at various golf courses, including La Quinta Golf at 510 meters as the crow flies. The surroundings are characterized by a landscape integration with construction spread over hilly terrain, ensuring stratification in sightlines and privacy.
The design of the villa focuses on maximum residential space and functional separation. With a total area of over 2,200 m², including terraces, it provides accommodation for large households or multi-generational families. The layout includes a specific entertainment floor, featuring a cinema, indoor pool, gym, and a wine cellar. This fulfills the demand for self-sufficient living with the integration of relaxation and workspaces within the home.
Construction is in the phase of building permit realization, targeting completion in Q4 2026. The project is being developed as a new build, meaning climate control installations, insulation values, and electrical systems comply with current technical standards. The planning includes the integration of a lift and home automation systems for building management.
The location is described as 'car dependent'. This implies that for virtually all movements, including visiting beaches, shops, and amenities, dependence on private transport is necessary. The distance to the nearest beach is approximately 4.6 kilometers as the crow flies, meaning walking to the sea is not a practical option. The environment offers limited possibilities for public transport directly in front of the door.
This project fits residents who prioritize space and privacy and have a budget that sits above the regular real estate market of Marbella. The situation suits a family or group needing ample living space and wishing to have amenities like sports, fitness, and entertainment at home rather than visiting them in public gyms. The limitation of car dependency makes it less suitable for those wishing to limit mobility or preferring to live directly in the city center. For buyers traveling frequently and using a car as primary transport, the location near the AP-7 highway offers a fast connection to Malaga and Gibraltar. The absence of shops within walking distance requires planning for groceries. The layout, including a studio and staff rooms, indicates suitability for households employing staff for maintenance and service.
The documentation outlines a home where construction and finishing are focused on durability and luxury. The description 'High-end finishes' indicates the use of materials like natural stone, high-grade wood, and steel. The presence of a lift, domotics, and a fully equipped wine cellar and cinema room points to an installation level that goes beyond standard build. The site features a total terrace area of 740 m², with 309 m² covered, suggesting a physically and spatially large transition from inside to outside. Technically, there is both a heating and cooling system (Air Conditioning Hot/Cold), necessary for comfort in Andalusia's mild winters and hot summers.
The asking price for the project is set at €20,000,000. This is an absolute price for the entire plot and the custom-made villa. Given the 'under construction' status, there is no variation in availability of housing types; only one distinctive object is available. In the market segment of luxury villas in Marbella above €10 million, availability often concerns the sale of individual projects rather than a series of homes. Transactions in this segment typically require long lead times and extensive legal and technical due diligence.
Living in El Herrojo Alto with The Hills 14 as a base means staying in a low-density residential environment heavily reliant on the automobile. The daily dynamic is determined by the hilly topography of Marbella, with the residence located at one of the higher points. This results in panoramic views over the golf course and coastline, but also requires that every movement to the urban park, school, or shopping area is preceded by a car ride. The living experience is internally oriented; the site houses facilities normally found externally, such as a private sports club with facilities for football and padel. This means social interaction and recreational activity can largely take place on one's own property. The neighborhood itself is quiet and traffic-calmed, particularly due to the gated community structure, ensuring an absence of through-traffic. Proximity to international schools and Puerto Banús supports a lifestyle rhythm aimed at families who prioritize privacy and facilities, without the direct hustle and bustle of the tourist center immediately adjacent.
The immediate environment of The Hills 14 is dominated by the presence of La Quinta Golf & Country Club and surrounding urbanizations. El Herrojo Alto is known as a 'gated community' with 24-hour security. This means access to the street is controllable, contributing to safety perception. The surrounding construction consists mainly of villas of similar scale. For daily amenities, one relies on San Pedro de Alcántara or Nueva Andalucía. Infrastructure in these districts is well-developed, but the distance means the car is the connecting link. The proximity of only 3 restaurants within a 2 km radius suggests the environment is primarily residential and not tourist-commercial.
The map shows the position of The Hills 14 relative to the main access roads AP-7 and A-397. The location in El Herrojo Alto is visible as an enclave between the golf courses of Nueva Andalucía and the mountainous nature towards Istán. Distances to San Pedro and Puerto Banús are visually represented, illustrating the secluded yet central position.
El Herrojo Alto is situated between Marbella city center and the village of Benahavís. This position is strategic: it is quieter than the direct coastal strip (N-340) but closer to amenities than the deep hinterland. The distance to Nueva Andalucía, the commercial heart of the 'Golf Valley', is small. This places the location within the exclusive 'Golden Mile' zone, even if not directly seaside. It is a residential enclave accessed via the A-397 and AP-7.
Malaga Airport is accessible at a distance of approximately 48 kilometers as the crow flies, representing a travel time by car of roughly 35-45 minutes, depending on traffic on the AP-7. The beach is located at a distance of 4.6 to 4.7 kilometers as the crow flies. Due to routes through built-up areas and hills, one must account for a longer travel time by car, typically 10-15 minutes. For golfers, the situation is optimal: La Quinta Golf is 510 meters away. For public transport: there are 11 lines in the region, but no direct stop at the front door. The nearest stops are in San Pedro.

The location is situated at 129 meters above sea level. This altitude creates a microclimate often slightly cooler than at the water level and avoids the heaviest coastal mist. The average annual temperature in Marbella is around 19.0°C, with historically 3,716 sun hours per year. The west orientation of the villa means the garden and terraces are sheltered from the wind and receive evening sun. The 2.5% slope of the terrain towards the sea ensures natural rainwater drainage and an elevated view over the surroundings. The proximity of mountainous terrain directly north of the location (La Concha) influences local wind patterns.

Recreational offerings in the immediate vicinity are strongly focused on golf. Besides La Quinta, Los Naranjos Golf Club (3 km) and Aloha Golf are in close proximity. The beaches, such as Playa de San Pedro and Playa Canina Ventura del Mar, are 4.6 km away. The beaches in Marbella hold 'Blue Flag' status, indicating water quality and amenities. The distance, however, means beach visits are a planned activity, not a spontaneous moment. Sports facilities are abundant externally (CrossFit, MPFS gym), but the villa compensates for this external distance with internal sports facilities.

Compared to projects in Marbella center or directly on the beach, The Hills 14 offers a significantly larger plot and more privacy. While apartments in the center have high density, El Herrojo Alto is spacious. Compared to villas in Benahavís, this project is closer to international schools and the coast. A similar project is Villa Bach in Marbella, comparable in price and size, but The Hills 14 is more specifically oriented towards the golf lifestyle. Unlike projects in Estepona or Fuengirola, a direct location at top golf courses is dominantly present here. The price point of €20 million places the object in the absolute top segment, comparable to luxury villas in 'Golden Mile' areas like Cascada de Camoján, but with the added value of a distinctive 'indoor sports club'.
