Interior Description
The main residence is a magnificent Spanish-style villa accessed via an impressive hand-laid natural stone entrance. Inside, generous living areas are furnished with charm and comfort, reflecting a refined Andalusian character. The master suite enjoys a luxurious marble bathroom, private terrace and distant views, while four further bedrooms feature terraces and marble bathrooms. Two additional children’s bedrooms share bathrooms, offering flexibility for family living or hosting guests. A fully fitted kitchen and multiple reception spaces complete the main home.
Guest House & Wellness
An independent guest house includes two en-suite bedrooms, a living area and a kitchen, comfortably accommodating additional guests. Together, the main and guest houses offer space for approximately 14–18 guests. Wellness facilities include a spacious gym and an outdoor pool area with two pools set at different temperatures, alongside a whirlpool — ideal for year-round enjoyment.
Gardens, Terraces & Outdoor Living
The landscaped gardens are lush and leafy, creating a tranquil, private setting. They lead to a striking glass studio embedded into the hillside, perfect for yoga, meditation or creative pursuits. Extensive terraces provide multiple outdoor dining and lounging areas, while a dedicated children’s playground adds to the family-friendly appeal. The overall setting is peaceful, secure and immersed in nature.
Community & Location
La Zagaleta is widely regarded as the most exclusive gated community in southern Europe, offering 24-hour security, private roads, two championship golf courses and an equestrian centre. Despite its privacy, Marbella can be reached in approximately 15 minutes, Puerto Banús in around 25 minutes, and Málaga Airport in about 40 minutes. Therefore, the villa combines absolute seclusion with excellent connectivity.
