Overview

The lay of the land

La Zagaleta sits in the hills of Benahavís above San Pedro de Alcántara and Marbella. It is one of the most exclusive residential estates on the Costa del Sol — 900 hectares (around 2,200 acres) of private, wooded land with manned gate security, two 18-hole golf courses, an equestrian centre, tennis courts, clubhouses and a heliport. Plots are large, density is deliberately low, and every residence is an architect-designed villa.

Property market

What buyers are doing

Few estates in Europe command the same price-per-square-metre. Resales are rare; most transactions are off-market and agents are chosen on relationships, not portals.
