Villa in La Zagaleta, Benahavís

The main house holds six bedrooms and seven bathrooms, all oriented south towards the Mediterranean. A formal dining room sits beneath a crystal chandelier, and the main living room is arranged around a marble fireplace with French doors to the garden. A separate family room offers a more relaxed space for evenings in. The kitchen is bright and well-proportioned, with a long island and a casual dining area.

The main suite opens onto a private terrace with sea views. Its bathroom is finished in marble, with a freestanding bathtub and a double vanity. A private gym with a garden outlook completes the house.

Outside, covered terraces run along the south façade, each furnished for dining and lounging with views across the valley to the coast. A courtyard with a stone fountain frames the view between the two wings. The swimming pool sits on a level lawn with sun loungers on every side, and a poolside pavilion has an outdoor kitchen with a bar.

The independent guest apartment has its own bedroom, bathroom and kitchen. It suits family, guests or staff, while the main residence stays fully private.

La Zagaleta is a gated estate in the hills of Benahavís with 24-hour security and two private golf courses, which is why many buyers choose it for year-round family living. Puerto Banús is a 16-minute drive away, Marbella old town is a 24-minute drive, and Málaga Airport is a 51-minute drive (72 km). HC Marbella hospital is a 15-minute drive, and international schools in San Pedro are within a 15-minute drive.

For families who want space for guests and staff without giving up privacy, this villa in La Zagaleta offers a quiet, south-facing setting. We would be glad to arrange a private viewing.
