Interior Description

El Único’s interiors mirror its sculptural exterior, with curved volumes, custom lighting and tailor-made furnishings defining every room. The grand salon opens to a 7-metre-high curved glass wall framing sea and coastline vistas, while adjoining lounge and dining areas flow naturally for large-scale entertaining. Moreover, a state-of-the-art gourmet kitchen is supported by a chef’s prep area and full back-of-house facilities, allowing both discreet service and effortless day-to-day living.

Bedroom Suites & Layout

Across 11 bedroom suites in the main residence plus a self-contained 2-bedroom guest apartment, the villa offers exceptional comfort and flexibility. The principal suite, inspired by haute-couture fashion design, features wrap-around glazing, a private terrace, an expansive boutique-style dressing room and a spa-like bathroom. Additionally, guest suites are distributed along the villa’s curved wings to maximise privacy, each with bespoke fitted wardrobes and either sea or mountain views.

Lifestyle, Wellness & Entertainment

Designed to rival a private resort, the villa’s amenities encompass wellness, fitness and entertainment on a grand scale. The spa includes a heated indoor pool, jacuzzi, sauna, steam room and therapeutic water circuit, creating a true sanctuary for relaxation. Meanwhile, the entertainment level offers a bowling alley, indoor and outdoor cinemas, half basketball court, games room and multiple bar areas, ensuring guests enjoy an immersive, five-star experience without leaving home.

Outdoor Living & Sustainability

Over 1,100 m² of exterior space includes beach-club-style terraces, chill-out lounges and a 500 m² rooftop level with two outdoor kitchens and generous seating areas. A 22 m infinity pool, 9 m waterfall and 130 m private waterslide anchor the grounds, while landscaped Mediterranean gardens and water features enhance the sense of drama. Furthermore, cutting-edge solar and wind energy systems support the property’s sustainability profile, helping to reduce environmental impact at this exceptional scale.

Community & Location

Set within La Zagaleta — Europe’s leading private resort — the estate benefits from 24-hour security, controlled access, two championship golf courses, an equestrian centre and an exclusive clubhouse. Additionally, Marbella, Puerto Banús, beaches, fine dining, international schools and the wider Costa del Sol lifestyle are all reachable in a short drive. Therefore, El Único delivers a rare balance of absolute privacy and high-connectivity.

FAQs

• How much are the purchase costs?
  As a guide in Andalucía, allow roughly ~10% on a resale property (7% ITP + approx. 3% total for solicitor, notary and registry fees). On a purchase price of €30,000,000 this means allowing around €3,000,000 for taxes and costs, giving a rough total budget in the region of €33,000,000. We’ll confirm precise figures with your lawyer and advisor.
  
• Is holiday letting allowed?
  La Zagaleta typically has strict rules on short-term holiday rentals and usage, and policies can change over time. We’ll confirm the latest regulations and any specific restrictions for this estate and property.

  The property provides secure underground parking for approximately eight cars, along with additional exterior parking areas suitable for guests or staff vehicles. We’ll verify exact capacities and layouts at enquiry.
