Elegant 4-Bedroom Villa with Panoramic Sea Views — La Zagaleta
This elegant villa for sale in La Zagaleta, Benahavis, combines classic Andalusian architecture with sweeping views of the Mediterranean, surrounding countryside and mountains. Set on a south-facing plot of 3,452 m² close to the south gate, it offers privacy, space and a refined atmosphere within one of Europe’s most exclusive gated communities.
Property Highlights
- 1,096 m² villa with 150 m² of terraces on a 3,452 m² plot
- Four bedrooms and five bathrooms in a classic Andalusian style
- Spa level with indoor pool, sauna, Turkish bath and gym
- Entertainment lounge with wine cellar and self-contained staff apartment
- Heated outdoor pool, gazebo and mature landscaped gardens
- Prime south-facing position near La Zagaleta’s south entrance
Interior Description
The villa opens to a generous entrance hall that sets the tone for the rest of the home. From here, you step into a grand living area with several lounge zones, a TV room and a formal dining space, all oriented towards the views. Large windows bring in natural light and frame the coastline and surrounding hills. A fully equipped kitchen with central island and breakfast area adds a practical, everyday hub while keeping a sense of elegance.
On this level you also find a guest bedroom with direct garden access, a guest toilet and a laundry room, making the layout both welcoming and functional. Throughout, warm materials, high ceilings and carefully chosen details create a classic yet comfortable atmosphere.
Wellness & Leisure
The lower garden level is devoted to leisure and well-being. It includes an entertainment lounge with a wine cellar and a self-contained staff apartment, offering flexibility for guests or live-in support. Meanwhile, the spa area features a heated indoor pool, sauna, Turkish bath and gym, with doors opening directly onto the gardens. These spaces turn the villa into a private retreat that can be enjoyed in every season.
Outdoor Living
Mature landscaped gardens surround the villa, with lawns, established trees and several terraces that invite outdoor living. A heated swimming pool overlooks the valley and Mediterranean Sea, while a charming gazebo provides a quiet spot for reading, relaxing or hosting intimate gatherings. The south-facing orientation ensures long hours of sunlight from morning through to evening, making the outdoor areas ideal for year-round use.
Community & Location
La Zagaleta is renowned for its privacy, security and lifestyle. The estate offers two private 18-hole golf courses, an equestrian centre, tennis facilities and exclusive clubhouses set within extensive natural surroundings. Access is strictly controlled, with 24-hour gated security and internal roads reserved for residents and their guests.
Despite its seclusion, the estate sits within easy reach of the coast. Marbella, San Pedro and Puerto Banús are all reachable in around 15–20 minutes by car, while Málaga Airport is just under an hour away. As a result, the villa combines space, tranquillity and top-level amenities with convenient access to the wider Costa del Sol.

FAQs
- How much are the purchase costs?
As a guide in Andalucía, allow roughly 10% on a resale property (7% ITP + approx. 3% fees). On a price of €5,950,000 this means allowing around €595,000, giving an indicative total budget of about €6,545,000 including taxes and costs. Exact figures will be confirmed once a price is agreed. - Is holiday letting allowed?
Holiday letting is subject to La Zagaleta’s community rules as well as Junta de Andalucía licensing. Short-term rentals are tightly controlled, so we’ll confirm the current policy for this villa before you proceed. - What parking and storage are included?
The villa includes a private multi-car garage along with additional driveway parking within the grounds. We’ll verify exact capacities and layout at the enquiry stage. - What community facilities are there?
Residents of La Zagaleta enjoy access to two private golf courses, an equestrian centre, tennis facilities and elegant clubhouses, all within a secure gated estate. We’ll confirm current membership and usage arrangements for you. - How close are shops, restaurants and the beach?
Marbella, San Pedro and Puerto Banús are a short drive away, offering supermarkets, restaurants, boutiques and beach clubs. Málaga Airport can usually be reached in just under an hour by car.
