HERROJO 7
“The Place to Go When Work is Done”
-
El Herrojo
In the sun-drenched hills above Marbella, tucked away in the serene, guard-gated enclave of El Herrojo where Mediterranean light dances through olive branches, the air is laced with the scent of pine and the sea hums a quiet promise just beyond the horizon, a house stands not simply as a structure but as a sanctuary of spirit.

Hale Pua Hana
A name born from the distant, soul-rich islands of Hawai’i, where time is measured not in minutes, but in moments.
It means “The Place to Go When the Work is Done.”
And indeed, this home is not for rushing. It is for exhaling. -
Architecture
The architecture is the masterwork of Miguel Tobal, one of Spain’s most respected architectural voices. His vision lives in every line and shadow of Hale Pua Hana. Stone, wood, air, and light all become elements of daily living here. The home exists as a quiet echo of nature’s rhythm: uncomplicated, honest, and elegant.

Design & Architecture by Miguel Tobal
Villa Hale Pua Hana is the work of renowned Spanish architect Miguel Tobal, celebrated for his distinctive ability to blend Mediterranean elegance with contemporary clarity. Known for his restrained, timeless architecture across southern Spain, Tobal’s signature lies in creating homes that are both architecturally impressive and intimately livable.
At Herrojo7, Tobal masterfully uses natural light, clean volumes, and spatial fluidity to shape a villa that feels expansive yet grounded. The layout flows organically across four levels, balancing privacy and openness, with every floor connected to the surrounding landscape through terraces, gardens, and panoramic glazing.
Natural materials, a soft color palette, and the integration of indoor-outdoor living reflect Tobal’s commitment to architecture that harmonizes with its environment - particularly important given the villa’s commanding south-facing position and sweeping views of the Mediterranean, Gibraltar, and beyond.
Villa Hale Pua Hana is not only a home - it is a refined architectural statement designed to age gracefully and elevate the everyday.
