The story behind Cumbre Villas

About us

Cumbre Villas is the leading luxury real estate agency on the Costa Tropical of Granada, Spain. For more than 20 years, we have been brokering sales, purchases, developments and rentals of amazing villas with stunning views in this special part of Andalusia.

Cumbre Villas was founded in 2001 and has been very successful ever since. Thanks to the continued growth, in 2007 our new real estate office opened in the coastal town of Salobreña, located at the entrance of the exclusive Urbanization Monte de los Almendros, where the majority of our villas for sale were located then. Today, our property portfolio has expanded along the Costa Tropical and we are currently mostly active in Salobreña, La Herradura, and Almuñécar. Over the years, we have become the leading luxury estate agent specializing in selling beautiful villas with breath-taking views.

In July 2021, the company was taken over by the Dutch-Spanish family Van Der Vorm Peñalver: Pieter and his daughters Serena and Fabiola. Cumbre Villas continues to be a family-owned and operated real estate agency with the same spirit it has always had: “Arrive as a client, stay as a friend”.

Pieter is a successful entrepreneur who founded and ran various international companies back in the Netherlands and Germany, before moving to Spain and starting to invest in real estate on the Costa Tropical of Granada. Pieter and his wife Julia first arrived at the Costa Tropical in 2012 and they immediately fell in love with the area, climate, and local culture – just like many of our clients do. They bought their first property on the coast with Cumbre Villas back in 2013.

Serena studied International and European Law (LL.M.) in the Netherlands and Law and Legal-Private Relations (LL.M.) in Spain. She previously worked at a Belgian law firm specialized in real estate and inheritance law in Marbella, and she currently assists our clients as legal counsellor. Fabiola studied Business Administration (BSc.) and Marketing (MSc.) in Amsterdam, and she formerly worked for Google in Barcelona as performance marketing consultant and team lead for the Benelux market. At Cumbre Villas, she is responsible for all marketing and communication.

Cumbre Villas is a 360º full-service real estate agent. As property owners and investors here on the coast, we know the real estate market intimately. We have the experience and expertise required to help you find, purchase, renovate, build, rent and eventually sell your dream home in the sun. The team of professionals speaks English, Spanish, French, German, Dutch, and Portuguese, and consists of knowledgeable agents, solicitors and accountants. We also offer excellent after-sales support that includes everything from legal and fiscal affairs, inheritances, tax declarations, transferring services, setting up the payment of bills on standing order, obtaining homeowner’s insurance, and so on.

Cumbre Villas can help you find the villa or plot of your dreams and assist you through every step of the process.

If you are interested in buying or selling your property on the Costa Tropical of Granada, our multinational team will be pleased to help you. We will be happy to explain how we at Cumbre Villas can help both buyers and sellers close the best deal. 

We look forward to meeting you in our office in Salobreña or La Herradura!

Warm regards,
The Cumbre Villas Team
