About this place
Villa Serena is a truly outstanding, contemporary, five-bedroom detached villa located in the prestigious hillside setting of The Hills, La Quinta, offering panoramic south-facing views towards the Mediterranean coast and Gibraltar. Completed three years ago by a well known Danish constuctor, the villa combines contemporary luxury with subtle classic Spanish character, creating an elegant and welcoming home designed for modern Mediterranean living. The property features a dramatic eight-metre-high entrance door, spacious open-plan living and dining areas, a high-end classic-meets-modern kitchen, five en suite bedrooms, an elevator serving all floors, intelligent lighting, climate control and high-quality finishes throughout. The outdoor areas are designed for lifestyle and entertaining, with a full-width south-facing terrace, elegant two-zone infinity pool, outdoor kitchen, barbecue, al fresco dining areas, multiple seating spaces and an elevated lounge terrace with fire pit. The lower level is one of the villa's standout features, offering a complete private leisure and entertainment space with boutique bar, glass wine cellar, pool table, open-plan cinema, glass-walled gymnasium, spa area with sauna, jacuzzi, massage area and relaxation zones, plus a private poker lounge hidden behind a discreet doorway. Set within easy reach of Marbella, Puerto Banús, golf courses, international schools, restaurants, beach clubs and the coast, Villa Serena is a refined lifestyle property offering privacy, views, comfort and exceptional amenities.
Buying property in Spain
Spain welcomes foreign buyers with no nationality restrictions. The buyer needs an NIE (Número de Identidad de Extranjero) before completion, and most buyers open a Spanish bank account to handle the deposit and ongoing charges. An independent lawyer (abogado) is strongly recommended — the notario only checks the deed, not the wider title.
Spain ended its Golden Visa property route in April 2025.
Non-resident mortgages are widely available, typically 60–70% LTV.
Non-resident sellers face a 3% withholding from the sale price (retención), claimable against capital gains tax.
Always check community-of-owners (comunidad) debts and outstanding IBI before completion — they transfer with the property.
General guidance only — confirm specifics with a qualified local lawyer or tax adviser. Reference
