A Singapore-based hotel group, Banyan Tree Group, has signed an agreement with La Quinta Grupo Inmobiliario to develop a hotel and residential complex on the Costa del Sol. The luxury resort, under the name Angsana Real de La Quinta Benahavis Marbella, will be operational from 2026 and will feature 90 rooms and suites as well as branded residences.
The Real de La Quinta residential complex, located in the Sierra de las Nieves mountain range between Marbella and Benahavis, continues to expand its offer as an exclusive luxury enclave on the Costa del Sol in Malaga. The recent announcement of the start of work on the El Lago Club, a huge leisure centre for residents, which will include a 36,000 m2 recreational lake for water sports, as well as a sandy beach, a golf course, tennis and padel courts and an extensive gastronomic offer, has now been followed by the announcement of the construction of a hotel establishment by the Banyan Tree Group, one of the world's leading hotel groups.
The Singapore-based company has signed an agreement with La Quinta Grupo Inmobiliario, part of the Pascual Group, to build the Angsana Real de La Quinta Benahavis Marbella luxury hotel in this residential area of more than 200 hectares in an unrivalled natural setting.
"We could not have chosen a better commercial partner for Banyan Tree Group's debut in Spain. Real de La Quinta is already the second residential resort that this group is developing in Marbella, a unique experience and concept on the Costa del Sol, where the priority is to build homes in a natural setting with facilities and services that make it a unique place for leisure in everyday life," said Peter Hechler, vice president and chief operating officer of Banyan Tree Group.
The design of the facility will be led by OBMI, with interiors by MKV Design and landscaping by RSR Studio, and will aim for a bright and airy ambience, composed of clean lines and simple silhouettes, and will incorporate brick and stone patterns that reference local building materials and traditions.
"Angsana is a perfect fit for the Real de La Quinta community," said Borja Pascual, CEO of La Quinta Grupo Inmobiliario. "Families and friends are looking for unique and unforgettable experiences when on holiday and the upcoming Angsana Real at La Quinta Benahavis Marbella will become the ideal meeting point. Banyan Tree Group's hospitality and wellness experience will create unforgettable memories in one of the most spectacular locations in Europe".
With 90 rooms and suites set around an oasis-like courtyard, the resort will feature 3 restaurants, as well as several snack bars, professional meeting areas, a spa and kids' club, family-friendly pools and an amphitheatre for weddings.
The branded residences, ranging from 97 to 151 square metres, meet the needs of a family-oriented lifestyle. The two and three-bedroom Angsana residences will have a private courtyard, swimming pool, parking, daily cleaning and maintenance services.
