There’s water in the lake – lots of it. In fact, the lake at Real de la Quinta is already 80% full, and El Lago Club is months away from opening its doors. For anyone watching this extraordinary project take shape, it’s nothing short of remarkable. Real de la Quinta is fast becoming one of the most exciting lifestyle destinations on the Costa del Sol.
Vista Lago Residences sits proudly within this visionary 200-hectare country club estate. We chose this plot not just for the jaw-dropping views stretching to Gibraltar and Africa, but because we believed in what Real de la Quinta was building. And now, it’s all coming to life.
A lake in the mountains? Yes, really.
This is not your average residential complex. Real de la Quinta will offer the largest private leisure lake in Southern Spain: 35,000m² of water surrounded by world-class amenities. Think kayaking, paddle boarding, and water biking, all non-motorised and eco-friendly.
The lakefront El Lago Club, set to open in 2026, will be the heart of it all. Its design blends seamlessly into the landscape, topped with a spectacular roof garden filled with native, low-water plants. From up here, the views are unbeatable, and the mood is pure serenity. A walking and cycling path circles the lake, inviting residents to connect with nature at every turn.

What’s coming in 2026?
- El Lago Club
A sophisticated social and leisure hub with indoor and outdoor dining, lounge areas, a bar, event spaces, and panoramic lake views. From casual smoothies to elegant dinners, it’s designed to become the meeting point of the community. - El Spa del Lago
A wellness centre offering a fully equipped gym, sauna, massage cabins, treatment rooms, a contrast pool, Jacuzzi, and two heated swimming pools (including one for aqua gym). Sheltered in a tranquil outdoor courtyard, this is wellness with a view.
- El Golf del Lago
An executive 6-hole golf course surrounding the lake. Ideal for short games in the morning or after work, it also allows flexible formats: play 6, 12 or even 18 holes thanks to the seamless loop design. Clubhouse access is just steps from the first tee. - La Playa del Lago
A genuine beach experience in the foothills of the mountains. Complete with natural sand, a swimming area, and a long promenade that separates sunbathers from water sport zones.
- Non-motorised water sports
Kayak, paddle board, water bike – this lake isn’t just for looking at! The reception at El Lago Club will coordinate access to all activities. - Roof garden & panoramic paths
El Lago Club’s roof is a destination in itself. It forms part of a wider circular walking and cycling route around the lake, offering places to stop, sit, and take in the views. - Sustainable design throughout
From the drought-resistant landscaping to the use of low-impact building materials and energy-efficient systems, Real de la Quinta is setting a new standard for environmentally responsible living on the Costa del Sol.
This is the kind of place you’ll never want to leave, where world-class design, nature, and lifestyle blend effortlessly. And it’s nearly here.
