Luxury 6 Bedroom Villa For Sale in La Zagaleta Benahavis

Interior Layout

The villa combines Mediterranean architectural character with refined contemporary detailing. Its principal reception area provides an open-plan setting for relaxing and entertaining, while several indoor dining spaces offer flexibility for family gatherings and larger occasions.

A professional-style kitchen supports both everyday living and more elaborate entertaining. Throughout the property, carefully selected timber, marble and bespoke finishes create a sophisticated yet welcoming atmosphere.

Six bedrooms provide accommodation for family and guests. In addition, the residence includes staff quarters, allowing household support to operate discreetly.

The entertainment facilities are particularly comprehensive. A private cinema, wine room and lounge bar create dedicated spaces for leisure, while a fitness centre and thermal spa provide opportunities for exercise and relaxation without leaving home.

Terrace & Views at this Villa for Sale in La Zagaleta Benahavis

The 4,418 m² plot offers generous outdoor space, surrounded by mature landscaping and the natural beauty of the La Zagaleta countryside.

At the heart of the gardens, a temperature-controlled infinity swimming pool provides a focal point for outdoor living. Extensive terraces create several settings for dining, entertaining and enjoying the Mediterranean climate.

The west-facing orientation is especially attractive for afternoon and evening sunshine. Moreover, the elevated outlook takes in panoramic views of the surrounding natural terrain.

The combination of landscaped grounds, outdoor entertaining areas and substantial plot size creates a sense of privacy that is central to the property's appeal.

Community & Location

La Zagaleta is one of Europe's most exclusive private residential estates, set in the hills of Benahavis above Marbella and San Pedro de Alcántara. The gated community is known for its substantial villa plots, protected natural surroundings and exceptional privacy.

Residents benefit from controlled access and 24-hour security. The estate also offers two private golf courses, clubhouses, an equestrian centre and additional sporting facilities, with access to certain amenities subject to membership arrangements.

Despite its peaceful countryside setting, La Zagaleta remains connected to the coast via the A-397 and surrounding road network. San Pedro de Alcántara, Puerto Banús, Marbella and Benahavis village provide a broad choice of restaurants, shopping, healthcare and everyday services.

For families, international education options include Laude San Pedro International College, Atalaya International School and Aloha College Marbella. These schools are generally around 15–25 minutes by car from the estate entrance, depending on the destination and traffic. Travel from an individual villa can take longer because of the estate's extensive private road network.

International travel is also practical, with Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport and Gibraltar Airport both accessible by road. Allow approximately 45–60 minutes for Málaga Airport and around 60 minutes for Gibraltar Airport, depending on traffic, the estate entrance used and, for Gibraltar, border conditions.

This combination of countryside seclusion, international schooling and access to the Costa del Sol's principal destinations makes La Zagaleta suitable for both permanent residence and extended stays.
