Grand Contemporary Villa in Europe’s Most Prestigious Gated Community La Zagaleta - Benahavís

Located within the prestigious La Zagaleta Country Club and Golf Resort, this exceptional south-facing villa represents a rare opportunity to acquire a newly built estate in one of Europe’s most exclusive residential communities. Surrounded by protected natural landscapes and positioned on an elevated plot of over 6,700 m², the property enjoys panoramic views across the mountains, lush greenery, and Mediterranean coastline.

Currently under construction with completion scheduled for 2025, the residence has been designed by a renowned local architect with a focus on scale, elegance, and seamless integration into its natural surroundings. Spanning approximately 1,380 m² across three levels connected by a private lift, the villa combines sophisticated architecture with a highly functional layout designed for both family living and entertaining on a grand scale.

The arrival experience begins with an impressive entrance hall leading into expansive reception spaces arranged with multiple lounge areas and a fireplace, creating a refined yet welcoming atmosphere. Large windows and open-plan volumes maximise natural light throughout the home while framing uninterrupted views across the surrounding landscape. The main living areas connect effortlessly to generous terraces, landscaped gardens, and outdoor entertaining spaces, reinforcing the villa’s strong relationship with the outdoors.

At the centre of the home, the contemporary open-concept kitchen features a substantial central island alongside separate dining and lounge areas designed for both relaxed daily use and larger gatherings. A secondary service kitchen and pantry provide additional practicality and discretion. The ground floor also accommodates two en-suite guest bedrooms with terrace access, along with several semi-covered porches and an elegant outdoor dining area positioned beside the heated swimming pool.

The first floor is centred around an impressive principal suite occupying its own private wing. This expansive retreat includes a bedroom with lounge area and office space, dual dressing rooms, a spacious bathroom with freestanding bathtub and walk-in shower, and direct access to a private terrace overlooking the sea and surrounding countryside. Two further en-suite bedrooms with dressing rooms are located on the opposite side of the floor, connected by a walkway and sharing access to an elevated terrace.

The lower level has been designed as a complete leisure and wellness environment. A private spa area incorporates a sauna, hammam, indoor swimming pool, gym with changing rooms, and a versatile cinema and entertainment room. Two additional en-suite bedrooms are also located on this level, together with laundry facilities, extensive storage areas, and a garage for three vehicles. A separate staff apartment with independent access further enhances the practicality of the estate for long-term living.

La Zagaleta is internationally recognised for its unrivalled privacy, security, and lifestyle offering. Residents benefit from two private golf courses, an equestrian centre, elegant clubhouse with restaurant and lounge facilities, swimming pool, billiard room, and even a private heliport. Despite its secluded atmosphere, the estate remains within convenient reach of Marbella, Puerto Banús, international schools, fine dining, and the beaches of the Costa del Sol.

Combining architectural quality, exceptional privacy, and extensive lifestyle amenities within one of the most secure communities in Europe, this villa offers a distinguished residential experience in a setting of extraordinary natural beauty.
