Ridge: Frontline Golf Villa in La Quinta, Benahavís | Villa Ridge

Ridge is an exceptional frontline golf villa in La Quinta, Benahavís, occupying an elevated gated position with unobstructed views across the golf course towards the Mediterranean Sea and surrounding mountains.

Set on a 1,009 m² plot, the residence offers approximately 771 m² of built accommodation and 225 m² of terraces, with six bedrooms, seven bathrooms and two additional guest bathrooms. Architecture and interiors have been approached as one coherent concept, defined by clean lines, symmetry, generous glazing and a deliberate connection between the house and its frontline golf setting.

The villa’s elevated position provides both privacy and an uninterrupted outlook, while its extensive leisure facilities, advanced home technology and high specification create a residence designed for year round living rather than simply seasonal use.

Architecture Defined by the Views

The principal living level has been designed around the villa’s panoramic golf and Mediterranean Sea views.

Large sliding panels allow the main living space to open extensively onto the terrace, removing much of the visual separation between the interior and exterior. Grey and champagne aluminium sliding doors sit flush with the external surfaces, reinforcing the clean architectural lines and allowing the landscape to remain the focus.

Inside, natural tones and carefully selected materials create a sophisticated but restrained atmosphere. Italian ceramic flooring is complemented by an Emperador stone staircase, while bespoke furniture and considered lighting add depth without competing with the surrounding views.

The result is an interior that feels substantial yet open, with the golf course and Mediterranean landscape forming a constant backdrop to everyday living.

Designer Kitchen and Open Plan Living

The kitchen continues the same architectural approach with a custom made high end design centred around a substantial island, incorporating the hob, extractor and stone sink.

Premium Gaggenau appliances are integrated throughout, while generous work surfaces and storage allow the kitchen to function equally well for everyday family life and larger scale entertaining. A separate laundry room on the lower level is equipped with Miele appliances.

Its open connection with the dining and living areas creates a continuous social space extending directly onto the terrace, allowing entertaining to move naturally between the interior, pool and outdoor dining areas.

Six Bedrooms and Refined Bathrooms

The villa provides six bedrooms, with upper level terraces giving the principal bedroom accommodation private outdoor areas from which to appreciate the open views.

The main suite incorporates a walk in wardrobe with integrated LED lighting, while the remaining fitted oak wardrobes also feature dedicated internal lighting.

Bathrooms have been finished with Ritmonio Italian taps and high end ceiling mounted showers, complemented by wall mounted Geberit sanitaryware.

The emphasis throughout is on material consistency and understated quality rather than decorative excess.

14 Metre Heated Infinity Pool and Outdoor Living

Outdoor living is fundamental to The Ridge.

The principal terrace centres around an impressive 14 metre heated infinity swimming pool, positioned towards the frontline golf views. A sunken outdoor firepit creates a separate social area within the terrace, while the dedicated barbecue station incorporates a built in refrigerator.

The pool also incorporates an outdoor bar with underwater seating, adding another entertaining space without interrupting the open character of the terrace.

Ceramic surfaces, selected areas of decking and manicured landscaping define the exterior, with an automated irrigation system helping maintain the gardens.

With approximately 225 m² of terraces, the property provides substantial space for outdoor dining, relaxation and entertaining while maintaining uninterrupted sightlines towards the golf course.

Private Spa and Wellness Level

The lower level is dedicated to wellness and entertainment, creating a private leisure environment completely separate from the principal accommodation.

At its centre is a heated indoor swimming pool, complemented by an eight person hammam and eight person sauna. A private gym completes the wellness facilities.

This level also incorporates a custom designed entertainment room with a full bar, providing a dedicated setting for hosting without compromising the quieter residential areas of the house.

Smart Home, Climate and Security

The technical specification is particularly comprehensive.

A Daikin VRV heat pump system provides underfloor heating and air conditioning, with Airzone controls accessible through both keypads and an app.

A Lutron home automation system controls selected functions through dedicated keypads and an app, including automation of the principal bedroom curtains. Integrated Sonos ceiling speakers extend throughout the residence, while wired Ethernet connections, fibre internet and Unifi wireless access points provide the communications infrastructure expected from a property of this level.

Security incorporates 4K UHD CCTV with remote access, a door intercom and Ajax alarm system, reinforcing the privacy provided by the villa’s gated setting.

A secure two car garage with electric vehicle charging further supports practical everyday use.

Frontline Golf Living in La Quinta

The Ridge occupies a privileged frontline golf position in La Quinta, Benahavís, within the hills immediately above Marbella.

Its location is a defining part of the property. The elevated setting creates open golf, Mediterranean Sea and mountain views, while the gated environment provides the privacy expected from one of the area’s high end residential enclaves.

La Quinta is particularly well positioned for access to Nueva Andalucía, San Pedro de Alcántara and Puerto Banús, bringing beaches, restaurants, international schools, shopping and everyday services within convenient reach.

The surrounding area is also closely associated with golf, making the villa particularly relevant for buyers who want direct access to the Marbella golf lifestyle without sacrificing proximity to the coast.

Lifestyle and Investment

The Ridge combines several characteristics that are difficult to replicate within a single property: genuine frontline golf positioning, panoramic Mediterranean views, substantial contemporary architecture and a comprehensive private wellness offering.

Its 771 m² of built accommodation provides the scale expected from a significant Marbella area residence, while six bedrooms make the villa practical for larger families and guests.

The 14 metre heated infinity pool, indoor pool, sauna, hammam, gym and entertainment spaces elevate the lifestyle proposition considerably, while the advanced climate, security and home automation systems address the practical requirements of long term ownership.

Within the wider La Quinta and Benahavís luxury property market, the combination of a gated elevated setting, frontline golf position, open sea views and high quality specification gives The Ridge clear differentiation.
