Casa Maria presents an exceptional opportunity to acquire a carefully curated apartment within the well-regarded gated community of Urbanización Terrazas de La Quinta, a residential enclave in Benahavís known for its quiet atmosphere and refined living environment. The apartment comprises a total built area of 100 square metres, with 80 square metres of interior space and a 20-square-metre terrace that enhances indoor-outdoor living. With three bedrooms and two bathrooms, the property is perfectly suited for both permanent living and holiday use.
Originally built in 1988, Casa Maria is scheduled for a full renovation in 2025, under the creative leadership of Ariadna Plaza, a developer and architect known for her philosophy of “slow luxury.” Her design vision focuses on sustainability, elegant simplicity, and the use of natural, high-quality materials such as wood, marble, and ceramic. Every element of the upcoming renovation is carefully considered to ensure that the final result delivers both aesthetic appeal and functional comfort.
The layout of the apartment has been planned with everyday usability in mind. Upon entry, the space opens into an integrated living, dining, and kitchen area. The kitchen will feature premium appliances and sleek finishes, forming the heart of the home and offering a seamless transition to the social zones. From the living room, direct access to the terrace invites natural light into the interiors while also providing space for outdoor lounging or dining. Located at the rear, the primary suite offers peace and privacy, with tranquil views of the communal gardens.
The apartment is located within a gated community that provides a high standard of security and exclusivity. Residents benefit from access to two communal swimming pools and landscaped outdoor areas that reflect the interior's understated elegance. The ambiance within Terrazas de La Quinta strikes a balance between modern Mediterranean lifestyle and a calm, residential setting. Daily life here offers serenity, with local restaurants, beach access, and everyday conveniences just minutes away.
The surrounding area of La Quinta in Benahavís is characterised by upscale residential developments, including stylish modern apartments and high-end villas. While the apartment itself does not offer panoramic views, many nearby properties are known for overlooking the golf course, the sea, and the nearby mountains. Still, Casa Maria’s southwest orientation allows it to enjoy ample daylight, creating a warm and welcoming interior atmosphere.
Sport and leisure are key attractions in this area, particularly for golf enthusiasts. La Quinta Golf & Country Club is within walking distance and features a 27-hole course designed by Manuel Piñero and Antonio García Garrido. Additional golfing options include El Higueral Golf Club, also close by, offering diverse playing experiences.
Dining options are plentiful. Restaurants like Los Arqueros provide contemporary Mediterranean cuisine in a relaxed yet upscale environment, while La Casita is a popular choice for its cosy ambiance and international flavours. The area's amenities also cater to families, with proximity to respected schools such as Atalaya International School and Laude San Pedro International College.
Shopping opportunities range from local convenience stores to large retail outlets. Nearby San Pedro de Alcántara and Puerto Banús offer supermarkets like Alcampo and El Corte Inglés, as well as a wide variety of boutique and luxury brand shopping options. For transport, the area is best navigated by car, although public buses and taxi services are readily available. The A-7 highway connects the community to the rest of the Costa del Sol, making daily travel straightforward.
For those who appreciate natural surroundings, the foothills of the Sierra de las Nieves are nearby, offering scenic walking trails and a connection to nature that further enhances the lifestyle this property affords.
Casa Maria is more than just a beautifully redesigned apartment—it is a lifestyle investment. With a full renovation by a reputable developer, an ideal location within a gated community, and easy access to leisure, education, and shopping, this residence offers a rare mix of exclusivity, comfort, and design-forward living. Whether as a full-time residence, holiday getaway, or investment property, Casa Maria reflects the evolving expectations of modern luxury on the Costa del Sol.
