Living in La Heredia
La Heredia lies in the municipality of Benahavís, inland from San Pedro de Alcántara on the road to Ronda, tucked into the curve of a green hillside. It was conceived in the 1980s by the renowned Spanish decorator and architect Jaime Parladé as a contemporary take on a Mediterranean village. You enter through a small square, beyond which lanes wind past white houses with patios, terraces and bougainvillea. The area was later extended and modernised in places, but the village feel remains. It is a place with character, which is exactly why it is not for everyone.
Homes and prices
In La Heredia you will find townhouses, apartments and villas in all sizes and layouts, often with terraces overlooking the valley to the sea. Idealista does not publish a separate figure for the area. For comparison, the average asking price in Benahavís municipality was around €5,602 per m² in September 2026. Because many homes here are smaller than on the neighbouring villa estates, La Heredia is one of the more accessible ways to live in this corner of Benahavís. Price depends heavily on the view, condition and whether the home has already been renovated.
Daily life and neighbours
The shops and restaurants of San Pedro de Alcántara are about ten minutes away, Puerto Banús and central Marbella a little further. Golf courses and country clubs surround the area, including Los Arqueros, La Quinta and Marbella Club Golf Resort. Your neighbours are El Madroñal, right next door, and La Zagaleta across the road, while the entrance to La Reserva de Alcuzcuz is directly opposite. International schools such as Laude San Pedro and Aloha College are easy to reach.
What to check
The village-style architecture often means stairs, split levels and smaller windows than in modern villas. Lovely and cool in summer, but check that the layout suits you. With older homes, ask about insulation and damp prevention, and read the community rules if you plan to renovate, as the look of the village is protected. In a village layout like this you cannot always park at your front door, so ask where your car goes and how far you will carry the shopping.
