Who is it for?
Is El Herrojo right for you?
Ideal if you
- want a modern villa with plenty of privacy and wide views over the valley and sea
- want to live near golf (La Quinta Golf) without living in an apartment complex
- want to reach Puerto Banús, San Pedro and the beach quickly by car
- have a large budget: the villas here are in the top segment
Less suitable if you
- are looking for a home on the coast on a smaller budget (then look at San Pedro de Alcántara)
- want to live without a car: the area is in the hills and for groceries you drive down
- are looking for an apartment (then look at El Higueral)
Where is El Herrojo?
El Herrojo is in the municipality of Benahavís, in the area around La Quinta Golf & Country Club. There is also a higher-lying part, El Herrojo Alto, which you often come across in adverts. The names are used interchangeably in adverts, so always ask for the exact address and the cadastral number at a viewing.
Resales and many agents do not know El Herrojo as a separate zone and therefore list the villas under “Benahavís Centro”, even though the area is not in the village itself. So you will find villas here that are listed under the wrong heading on other sites. We sort them by the real area.
What kind of properties will you find here?
El Herrojo is a villa area. In our October 2026 listings these are 8 detached villas and 1 plot. The villas have 4 to 8 bedrooms, are often modern with large glass walls and have a private pool and terraces on several levels. Agents name panoramic views over the valley and the Mediterranean as a fixed asset of this area.
Prices are high: from € 2.2 million to € 21.5 million, with a median of € 3.9 million. This is a snapshot of the asking prices in our listings; the actual sale price is usually lower and depends on location, year of construction and finish.
What to look out for
If you build on a slope, earthworks, retaining walls and access are expensive: have the structural condition and the permits checked. For a newer villa, ask about the first-occupation licence, and for an older villa whether the construction and any later extensions are legal. Proper legal check are part of every purchase.
Also budget for the annual municipal tax (IBI) of Benahavís, the community costs if there are any, and maintenance of the garden and pool. In a green mountain municipality, fire prevention is part of looking after your plot. If you want to rent it out, ask whether the property has a licence for holiday rentals .
