Real de La Quinta — Benahavís
Real de La Quinta.The new luxury lifestyle destination near Marbella.
New and resale apartments and villas inside one of Marbella's most talked-about resorts — sold by people who will tell you which phase, which orientation and which price actually stack up.
What's available now
A snapshot of the resort this week.
New build direct from the developer, resale from owners who've outgrown it, and plots if you'd rather build it your own way. Not the full list — the full list is a phone call away.
ResaleOlivos
850,000 EUR
2-bedroom apartment with sea and mountain views
101 m² · 2 bed · 2 bath · first floor
The way in. Small block, two pools, and the views are what the photographs say they are.
New buildSabinas
from 1,395,000 EUR
3-bedroom apartment, direct from the developer
2 bed + office · phases 1 and 2 · lake and sea views
The same price as going to the developer yourself — plus someone who reads the contract and chases the snags.
ResalePalmitos
1,480,000 EUR
3-bedroom apartment with large terrace
241 m² · 3 bed · 3 bath · first floor
More floor than most at this level, and a terrace you'll actually use rather than admire once.
PlotPlot 14.1
1,287,000 EUR
2,144 m² south-facing villa plot
2,144 m² plot · buildable 235 m² · south

New buildMimosas
from 1,850,000 EUR
Garden apartment villa with private pool
314 m² · 2 bed · lower level you'll turn into something
Two floors, your own pool, and a lower level that becomes the cinema, the gym or the studio. Your call.
ResaleQuercus
1,999,000 EUR
3-bedroom penthouse with solarium and plunge pool
359 m² · 3 bed · penthouse
The one everyone asks about. Sea views, and a solarium that holds the sun well past the buildings.
Not every home here is on a portal.
Some of the best resales never get there — the owner tells two people and it's gone before it ever reaches Idealista. Ask us what's quietly available.
The resort
Everything's already on your doorstep.
Why people buy here: a short drive to the beach, a 35,000m² lake over 400m long, El Lago Club sports and wellness, elevated south-facing plots, views to Istán lake, La Concha and the sea, and how close it all is to the schools and restaurants of Nueva Andalucía, Marbella and Puerto Banús.
El Lago Club
Open now, and the reason the resort feels lived in rather than promised. Members only — 450 of them.
- Wellness centre, gym and 25m indoor pool
- Spa, hammam, sauna and cold therapy
- Beach club on the lake with a natural sand beach
- Six-hole executive golf course
- Tennis and padel courts
- Kayaks, paddle boards and water bikes
- Restaurant and kids' area
The lake is the centrepiece
Non-motorised water sports, a beach club with natural sand, and a run along the water at seven in the morning that most people pay good money for elsewhere.
What nobody mentions
We'd rather you heard it from us.
The resort is still being built out. Romero is sold out, Mimosas and Enebros are live — which means building work, deliveries and dust on site for years, not months.
Some phases are a long way from completion. If you're buying off-plan, you're trusting a completion date, and we'll show you exactly what you can hold the developer to.
Views vary enormously between blocks and floors. Two homes on the same plan can be €300,000 apart because one looks at La Concha and the other looks at a construction site.
El Lago Club is capped at 450 members. It's a genuine reason people buy here — so check membership comes with the home before you assume it does.
Budget
What it costs.
Every figure below is a real asking price from the resort right now, not a rounded number to get you on the phone.
The way in
Under €1m
Two-bedroom resales in Olivos from €850,000. Lockers, a second home for the family, or a rental that actually lets.
The sweet spot
€1m – €2m
Three-bedroom apartments, garden apartment villas, penthouses and plots. Most of what's good here sits in this band.
The top of the resort
€2m+
New build from Mimosas and Enebros, super penthouses with solariums, and the larger plots for a proper build.
New build
- Latest layouts, sizes and specification
- Developer's own price — we don't add anything
- Off-plan, so a completion date you're trusting
- VAT and stamp duty on top of the asking price
Resale
- Ready now — move in or let it from day one
- Mature gardens, established neighbours, no crane
- You can see, touch and check what you're buying
- Transfer tax rather than VAT — usually the cheaper of the two
Ask us to run both on a specific property. The gap between the two is real money, and most agents won't do the maths for you because they don't know how.
