A tranquil respite near the beaches and towns along the Costa del Sol.
Settled along a protected nature preserve, Monte Mayor is an exclusive, gated urbanization that spans over 330 hectares of land in the foothills of Benahavís. It is a spectacular setting surrounded by unspoiled nature and expansive views in every direction: pine topped mountains, the Mediterranean Sea, the African coastline and beyond. Close enough to the towns, beaches and amenities along the coast, secluded enough to offer a peaceful haven, with abundant and diverse flora and fauna in all seasons. It is one of the few places with lush, unspoiled nature in a tranquil setting within such close proximity to the towns and amenities along the coast.
The picturesque municipality of Benahavís is renowned for its authentic charm, impressive natural surroundings and rich cultural heritage, including 10th century Moorish ruins that adorn the countryside. Located on the southern face of the Serrania de Ronda mountain range, Benahavís offers an ideal setting for those who seek the natural, elevated terrain just a short drive from the coastal life. Marbella, Estepona, and San Pedro have much to offer for the recreational lifestyle: beaches, golf clubs, equestrian centres, world class shopping, and many cafés, restaurants, bars and nightclubs.
Set in the foothills of Benahavís, remarkably close to Marbella’s Old Town and the Golden Mile, Real de La Quinta offers a rare duality: proximity and seclusion. From its privileged position, residents enjoy panoramic views of the sea, mountains, and surrounding nature: all within minutes of Marbella’s vibrant social and cultural life.
Conceived as a fully integrated lifestyle destination and developed by La Quinta Grupo Inmobiliario, Real de La Quinta is a high-standard community with golf facilities, an exclusive clubhouse, wellness facilities, restaurants, a luxury branded hotel, and a range of premium residential developments. Nature is a defining feature, with protected green zones, water elements, and walking trails reinforcing a sense of place, connection to the natural environment, and outside recreation.
Architecture throughout the masterplan responds to topography rather than reshaping it. Roads follow natural contours. Buildings cascade with the terrain. The result is a community that feels embedded within the landscape rather than imposed upon it. It is within this carefully and naturally curated environment that Vitae Villas has found a complementary place for its latest developments.
Known primarily for Mijas Pueblo, a historic white mountain village with a storied history, the municipality includes a varied terrain that spans along steep mountainous land to wide coastal developments. It is centrally located between Malaga and the beach towns of the Costa del Sol such as Marbella and Estepona. The landscape offers a variety of recreational activities, such as the largest golf course in the region, an expansive coastline with sand dunes and walking paths, along with the variety of attractions and ammenities that are family friendly. It is an inclusive and diverse community surrounded by the mountain and the sea.
Along an elevated crest of protected nature preserve, high above the dynamic coastline and just outside the mountain village, Vitae Villas is currently developing a master plan for a range of villas within a gated community. Loyal to the principles of integration and sustainability, the new developments will offer a comprehensive signature approach to infrastriucture, common area, and the individual villas
Named by some as the “dining room of the Costa del Sol”, it offers a superb choice of tapas bars and restaurants offering traditional Spanish cuisine as well as other culinary international delights.
It is also a popular spot for hikers, jeep tours, and canyoning.
Any visitor to Andalusia will discover a rich cultural heritage and a strong Spanish identity. Many cultural phenomena generally associated with Spain are actually distinctly Andalusian in origin – including flamenco and Hispano-Moorish architectural styles. Each area and municipality within the region, including Málaga, has its own distinct customs and folklore that are reflected in the local cuisine, ‘ferias’ or festivals, and the arts. It is an incredibly diverse region that offers much to explore, learn and enjoy.
A warm climate, natural resources and geographical position facilitate a deep tradition and appreciation of local gastronomy in Andalusia. The region is known for a range of iconic local products like olive oil, cheeses, meat, and dried fruits and wines. In fact, 76% of Spain’s olive oil comes from this area. It is also known for fresh fish and seafood – including the seasonal Almadraba tuna and the popular espetos of sardines grilled over open fires. Gastronomy and hospitality go hand in hand, and meals are an important moment shared with friends and family.
Málaga is the second largest city in Andalusia after Sevilla – and one of the oldest cities in Europe. The city has witnessed the rise and fall of many different civilizations, and its historic center boasts a variety of architectural styles. Málaga’s Moorish fortress is the best-preserved of its kind in Spain. The city is also home to a stunning Roman amphitheater and centuries old facades. These include the Sacred Heart Church, the City Hall, and Félix Sáenz Houses. The intricate Palacio Episcopal Palace on Plaza de Obispo is the seat of the Archbishop of Málaga. It is regarded as the finest example of Baroque architecture in Andalusia.
