Positioned within the secure gated enclave of El Herrojo in La Quinta, this contemporary villa presents a carefully composed balance of architectural presence, material warmth and highly functional living. Designed with a clear and confident vision, the property combines expansive interior volumes with natural textures and panoramic Mediterranean views, creating a residence that feels both striking and deeply liveable.The architecture is immediately defined by exposed dark timber cathedral ceilings, natural stone surfaces and expansive floor to ceiling glazing that allows light to shape each space throughout the day.

The principal suite occupies a category of its own, framed by vaulted timber ceilings and elevated sea views. A boutique style dressing room and spa-inspired en suite bathroom reinforce the sense of exclusivity, while a freestanding marble bath positioned before full-width glazing creates a calm and highly private retreat overlooking the Mediterranean coastline and surrounding cypress landscape.The lower level introduces a dedicated wellness and leisure environment designed with the atmosphere of a private members’ spa. A sauna, plunge pool, gymnasium and treatment area are arranged behind bronze tinted pivot glass, creating a discreet and immersive wellness experience within the home itself. Adjacent spaces include a temperature controlled wine cellar and a striking private car gallery, where architectural lighting transforms the garage into a considered extension of the villa’s design identity.Outdoor living has been approached with equal restraint and sophistication. The infinity pool is framed by natural stone terraces, while shaded dining areas beneath a vine covered pergola encourage relaxed entertaining throughout the year. Mature palms, landscaped greenery and bougainvillea-lined borders establish privacy and softness around the property, reinforcing the peaceful atmosphere of the setting.Located within one of Benahavís’ most established gated communities, the villa benefits from privacy and security while remaining close to La Quinta Golf, Nueva Andalucía, Puerto Banús and Marbella’s Golden Mile.
