Grand 4 Bedroom Villa For Sale in La Zagaleta Benahavis

Interior Layout

The main floor brings the principal suite into the same level as the formal living accommodation. A dressing room and a sea-facing bathroom give the suite a distinct private character, while its own sauna adds an established wellness feature within the bedroom accommodation.

An octagonal dining room gives entertaining a memorable architectural setting. Nearby, the drawing room centres on an open wood fire, and a bar opens directly onto the covered terrace. This arrangement connects formal indoor rooms with the exterior without losing the house’s traditional character.

The marble-finished kitchen forms part of the main accommodation, complementing the more formal entertaining spaces. Arched windows, exposed timber beams and a spiral staircase with wrought-iron railing carry the Mediterranean architectural language through the house.

The upper floor contains a self-contained guest suite with a sitting room and a terrace facing the sea and mountains. On the lower level, two further bedrooms include one with its own lounge and kitchenette, providing flexible accommodation for family, visitors or staff.

An unfinished wing on the lower level offers the possibility of a future cinema, gym, spa or additional bedroom, subject to design, technical checks and any required approvals. These remain potential uses rather than completed facilities. The villa was completed in 2000 and has 893 m² of built accommodation.

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

A saltwater infinity pool gives the garden its principal leisure focus, with mature planting and palms framing the setting. The pool is prepared for heating, so a buyer should distinguish that provision from an installed and operating heating system.

Covered and open terraces provide different places to spend time outside, with a direct connection from the bar making the covered terrace part of the entertaining arrangement. A hot tub adds a separate leisure feature within the outdoor accommodation.

The outlook extends across the Mediterranean towards Gibraltar, with North Africa visible in clear conditions. Mature landscaping gives the 4,553 m² plot an established character, while garaging for five cars provides practical capacity alongside the garden and terrace spaces.

Community & Location

La Zagaleta is a gated country-club estate with 24-hour security, private golf facilities and an equestrian centre. The broad hillside landscape gives its residences a distinct setting, with estate facilities subject to the relevant membership and access arrangements.

The home provides a private base above the coast, with Marbella and Puerto Banús accessible by car. Private appointments and guided video viewings are available, allowing buyers to explore the arrangement of the house before planning an in-person visit.
