9 properties for sale in La Quinta · € 1,495,000 to € 7,950,000 · median € 6,308/m²
La Quinta sits on the Benahavís side of the Golf Valley, on the slopes above San Pedro de Alcántara and Nueva Andalucía, around a golf and country club that has been played since the late 1980s. It is one of the highest addresses on this part of the coast that is still genuinely residential rather than remote: close enough that Puerto Banús is a ten-minute drive, high enough that the view runs the length of the bay and, on a clear day, as far as Gibraltar and the Moroccan coast. The properties here are correspondingly large — the typical home we list is roughly three times the floor area of a coastal apartment.
What property for sale in La Quinta actually is
Villas and large apartments, and everything we currently hold is new build from our own stock rather than bought in from a third-party resale feed. That means the floor plans, the completion dates and the payment schedules come from the developer instead of from a previous owner, and that what you sign is a contract as much as a building. The apartments here are not the usual two-bedroom coastal product: they are built on the scale of houses, with terraces to match, and they are priced accordingly.
Height, and what it is worth
On this coast the view is the one thing that cannot be added later, and La Quinta sells it in its purest form. The slope lifts the terraces over everything in front of them, so the outlook is structural rather than a matter of luck with the neighbours. That is the whole of the premium here — and it is also the reason the planning file on the land below any plot deserves half an hour of a lawyer's time before you commit to anything.
New build against resale
For context: resale apartments across Benahavís run at a median of 4,957 € per square metre and resale houses at 5,847 €. New build sits above both, here as everywhere — the premium buys a ten-year structural warranty, current insulation and sound standards and a building nobody has lived in. Those two figures are the floor against which any price here is worth measuring.
Who buys in La Quinta
Golfers, and buyers for whom the view is the purchase. The valley below holds three more courses within a few minutes, which makes this one of the densest concentrations of golf in Europe, and the clubhouse culture is a large part of what people are buying into. The second group is families who want space and quiet but refuse to be an hour from anything: the international schools around San Pedro and Guadalmina are ten to fifteen minutes down the hill.
Getting around
San Pedro de Alcántara is about ten minutes down the hill, Puerto Banús ten to fifteen, Marbella twenty. Benahavís village, and the row of restaurants it is known for, is fifteen minutes up the valley. The A-7 and the AP-7 are both quickly reached; Málaga airport is roughly fifty minutes and Gibraltar about an hour. A car is not optional here — nothing on this hillside is within walking distance of a shop.
What to check before you buy here
Four things. The bank guarantee covering every stage payment, confirmed in writing by your lawyer before the first transfer leaves your account. The completion date and the consequence if it slips, as a clause in the contract. What the planning file permits on the land below the plot, because the view is the price here and the plan is its only protection. And the community budget of a hillside scheme: access roads, retaining walls and pumps cost money that flat-ground communities never spend, and they arrive as levies when they arrive.
Where to go from here
Across Benahavís we list apartments, houses and villas and plots; the villa stock specifically is under detached villas, and golf-side homes under golf residences. The valley below, with the deepest resale market on this coast, is Nueva Andalucía. The whole new-build picture is on new developments, and our property alarm mails you when something here matches what you want.

Questions about property in La Quinta
What kind of property for sale in La Quinta is there?
Villas and large apartments — and the apartments here are not the usual two-bedroom coastal product, but flats built on the scale of houses, with terraces to match. The typical home we list is roughly three times the floor area of a coastal apartment. Every property for sale in La Quinta we hold is in the list above; across Benahavís as a whole see houses and villas and apartments.
Is property for sale in La Quinta new build or resale?
Everything we currently hold as property for sale in La Quinta is new build, from our own stock rather than bought in from a third-party feed, which means the floor plans, the completion dates and the payment schedules come from the developer rather than from a previous owner. Resales on this hillside do trade, but rarely through us. The full new-build picture is on new developments; for the deepest resale market on this coast, look down into the valley at Nueva Andalucía.
How close is the golf, and how close is everything else?
The club is on the doorstep and three more courses lie in the valley below, within a few minutes — one of the densest concentrations of golf in Europe. Everything that is not golf is a drive: San Pedro de Alcántara is about ten minutes down the hill, Puerto Banús ten to fifteen, Marbella twenty, and Benahavís village fifteen minutes up the valley. Nothing on this hillside is within walking distance of a shop. Golf-side homes along the coast are collected under golf residences.
Why is property for sale in La Quinta so expensive per square metre?
Because the view is the purchase, and it is the one thing that cannot be added later: property for sale in La Quinta is priced on the outlook before anything inside the house. The slope lifts the terraces over everything in front of them, so the outlook is structural rather than a matter of luck with the neighbours. On top of that sits the usual new-build premium over resale, which you can measure against the Benahavís figures on this page. One caution: at this size a price per square metre says less than usual, because plot, aspect and view carry a share of the value that no square-metre figure expresses. Compare against detached villas in Benahavís as a whole.
What should I check before buying here?
Four things. The bank guarantee on every stage payment, confirmed in writing before the first transfer leaves your account. The completion date, with the consequence of a delay written into the contract. What the planning file permits on the land below the plot, because the view is the price here. And the community budget of a hillside scheme: access roads, retaining walls and pumps cost money that flat-ground communities never spend, and they arrive as levies. Our agents on the ground go through all four with you.

The figures for La Quinta itself — how many properties, the range of asking prices, the median per square metre — are in the band under the heading of this page and in the price section below it. They are counted from every listing we hold here and refreshed with every feed run.
Why La Quinta has no row of its own in the table
Because everything we currently list here is new build, and the table counts resale only. Mixing the two would flatter the resale figures and understate the new-build ones. What the table shows instead is the resale market of Benahavís by property type — the floor against which a new-build price is worth measuring.
One caution about per-square-metre figures here
The homes on this hillside are roughly three times the floor area of a coastal apartment, and at that size a median per square metre says less than usual: the plot, the aspect and the view carry a share of the price that no square-metre figure can express. Use the table for orientation, not as a valuation.
