La Zagaleta
A 9 km² private estate above the road from Marbella, opened in 1991 on the former hunting grounds of Adnan Khashoggi. Two private golf courses, a heliport, a riding centre, and 230 residences set on parcels rarely below 6,000 m². Membership is by approval; the estate is monitored 24 hours.
3 residences on offer.
La Zagaleta is not a neighbourhood. It is a private estate behind a single gate at Km 38 of the A-7 — beyond it, twelve internal roads, two golf courses, and a quiet that doesn't exist anywhere else on the coast.
What is for sale here is rarely advertised. A meaningful share of Zagaleta sales are agreed privately, gate to gate, without a listing ever appearing. The register can only measure what is published — and says so.
We have represented six families in La Zagaleta since 2020. Two are still here.

Asked, before the first visit.
- How much does a villa in La Zagaleta cost?
- On the August 2026 register snapshot, La Zagaleta residences ask from €2.98M to €30M, with a median asking price of €9.4M across 7 listings at the €1.5M+ floor. The estate’s turnover is largely private, so the published register understates what is available at any given moment.
- How do you become a resident in La Zagaleta?
- Purchase of a residence includes membership in La Zagaleta Country Club — but it is conditional on approval by the membership committee. The process is private; introductions are handled discretely by the estate office, sometimes with input from existing members.
- What is unique about La Zagaleta compared with other Marbella zones?
- La Zagaleta is the only Marbella-area community with two fully private golf courses, an equestrian centre and a helipad inside a single gated perimeter. Plot sizes rarely fall below 6,000 m².
- Where exactly is La Zagaleta?
- La Zagaleta sits in the municipality of Benahavís, ten kilometres inland from Puerto Banús and roughly 50 km from Málaga airport (a 58-minute drive). The single gate is at Km 38 of the A-7 motorway.
