Modern Andalusian Villa with Private Spa and Mountain Views in La Zagaleta

Set within the prestigious gated community of La Zagaleta in Benahavís, one of Europe’s most exclusive private residential estates, this five-bedroom villa combines modern Andalusian architecture with generous interiors, extensive wellness facilities and panoramic mountain views. Occupying a 3,206 m² plot with 990 m² of built space, the property enjoys a peaceful setting surrounded by mature greenery and landscaped gardens, with La Zagaleta’s two private golf courses and country club facilities conveniently located within the estate.

The villa’s architecture brings together traditional Andalusian elements, including a tiled roof and whitewashed façades, with spacious, modern interiors. Large windows and sliding glass doors connect the principal living areas to the covered terraces and gardens. The main lounge offers several seating areas arranged around a fireplace, while an elegant dining room overlooks the outdoor spaces. A fully equipped kitchen with a central island and informal dining area provides a practical setting for everyday use. Natural stone flooring, neutral finishes and generous proportions create a bright and welcoming atmosphere throughout.

The property features five bedrooms and five bathrooms, providing ample accommodation for family and guests. The principal suite is particularly spacious, incorporating a separate sitting area with fireplace, a well-appointed bathroom with a bathtub and walk-in shower, and access to a private terrace overlooking the surrounding greenery. The remaining bedrooms are comfortably proportioned, with pleasant views across the gardens and mountain landscape.

The outdoor areas are a defining feature of the property. A distinctive curved swimming pool sits within beautifully maintained lawns, framed by mature palm trees and established planting. Generous covered terraces extend along the main façade, offering several seating and dining areas directly connected to the interior living spaces. The substantial plot provides expansive gardens while maintaining privacy within the surrounding natural landscape.

Beyond the principal accommodation, the villa offers an extensive selection of leisure and wellness facilities. A dedicated spa area includes a heated indoor swimming pool, sauna and gym, providing space for relaxation and exercise throughout the year. A private cinema room adds a separate entertainment space, while four parking spaces complete the property’s practical amenities.

La Zagaleta is widely regarded as one of southern Europe’s most prestigious residential communities, extending across approximately 900 hectares of protected natural surroundings with controlled access and 24-hour security. Its low-density development, secluded hillside setting and private country club atmosphere distinguish it from other residential areas along the Costa del Sol. Golf enthusiasts benefit from the convenience of two 18-hole courses, the Old Course and New Course, both located within the estate, with dedicated clubhouses, restaurants and golf facilities available subject to membership. The community also offers equestrian facilities, tennis and padel courts, and extensive natural walking routes. Despite its secluded atmosphere, Puerto Banús, Marbella’s Golden Mile, international schools and the Mediterranean coastline are all within convenient driving distance.
