A community of around 240
La Zagaleta covers roughly 900 hectares and is capped at around 420 plots, of which only part are built. Two private members-only golf courses, a riding club, a heliport and 24/7 security define the estate.
Privacy Above All
La Zagaleta
Behind a single gate in the hills above Benahavís lies one of Europe's most exclusive private estates — and one of the smallest, by design.
Architecture, slowly modernising
The original 1990s villas leant heavily Andalusian. The newer wave is contemporary — flat roofs, glass walls, infinity pools sized for views rather than swimming. Both still trade at strong prices because the address is fixed.
What ownership feels like
You enter through a controlled checkpoint, drive ten minutes through pine forest, and arrive at a plot most people will never see. Members value that distance from the coast as much as the views.
