The Hills 1
Project lifecycle
The Hills 1, in context.
The Hills 1 is a completed six-bedroom villa within a gated enclave in La Quinta, Benahavís — positioned at the far end of the development, where it gains both privacy and an uninterrupted sightline across the Mediterranean coastline. Designed by the Tobal architectural practice, with interiors styled by Aalto Exclusive Design, the house runs to 738 m² of built space on a plot of 1,785 m².
The design language is restrained: open-plan living, floor-to-ceiling glazing that draws light deep into the interior, and a neutral palette lifted by considered accents. Four bedrooms sit on the ground floor, including a master suite with walk-in wardrobe and en-suite. The lower level is given over to leisure — a gym, spa, home cinema and games room.
Outside, a manicured garden, private pool and jacuzzi extend the living space toward the view.

Live data refreshed nightly from our multiple independent sources.
The off-plan discount, stage by stage
Off-plan entry typically offers the largest pricing headroom at the earliest stages. The advantage narrows as construction progresses — at completion the unit is priced at market. The Hills 1 currently sits in the Completed band.
This is a completed, ready-to-occupy villa rather than an off-plan purchase — there is no construction risk and no waiting on completion dates. Only one unit exists, and it remains available, so the opportunity is singular by nature. At €13.8m the guide sits well above the area's resale averages, a reflection of its architectural pedigree, 738 m² of build and end-of-development position. Buyers can inspect the finished product in full before committing.
Why buyers reserve at this stage
Personalisation window
Reserving during the Completed phase gives buyers genuine input into layout, finishes and basement use ahead of handover, a window that closes as the build advances.
Scarcity and specification
1 of 1 units remain. The plot sizes, orientation and amenity package on this scheme are not easily replicated in the immediate resale stock.
Risk-managed entry
Spanish new-build buyers are protected by staged payments held under bank guarantee, ten-year structural warranty and full licence review. Roccabox brokers all of this through regulated counsel.
The premium, contextualised
Useful context — not a substitute for unit-level valuation. Pricing data cross-referenced against live Costa del Sol market signals.
The Hills 1 is not priced against average Benahavís resale stock. It is a premium new-build product with the specification, plot quality and amenity package that the broader resale market typically does not match. At €18,699 per built m² the relevant question is whether the premium is justified against comparable new-build completions, not whether it beats the area's median of €4,996/m².

What every unit receives
Living in Benahavís
La Quinta sits in the hills above Nueva Andalucía, within the so-called Golden Triangle of Benahavís, Marbella and Estepona. Golf is the defining feature of the area: a driving range and academy lie roughly 1.4 km away, with El Higueral and Magna Marbella courses within a five-minute drive. Daily needs are close — a pharmacy under 500 m from the door, Mercadona and Dia supermarkets about five minutes away, and restaurants such as Venta Los Almendros within walking distance.
The coast is near without being on top of you: Playa de San Pedro is nine minutes down the hill, and the marina and restaurants of Puerto Banús around eleven. Málaga airport is roughly 50 km. The climate is mild year-round, with average highs of 21°C.

Understand the full picture
Spanish purchases involve taxes and fees that catch first-time international buyers off-guard. We surface every figure that matters.
Typical off-plan payment schedule
Spanish new-build purchases are typically paid in three staged instalments, with every euro held under bank guarantee until completion.
Total cost of ownership
Spanish mortgage scenario
Indicative non-resident mortgage on the slider price above. Spanish banks typically lend 60–70% LTV to non-residents over 20–25 years.
Investment outlook
Three scenarios our analysts model on every Costa del Sol off-plan deal.
Residency planning for non-EU buyers
Spain's property-based Golden Visa route closed to new applicants on 3 April 2025. Non-EU buyers acquiring property at this value still have residency routes — non-lucrative visa, digital-nomad visa, and case-specific options — depending on circumstances. We introduce regulated immigration counsel before any commitment.
