La Zagaleta Masterpiece – Ultra-Private 9-Bedroom Estate with Iconic Water Slide
Hidden in the most secluded corner of prestigious La Zagaleta, this extraordinary estate offers unrivalled privacy, drama, and world-class amenities. Accessible only by a private road, the villa reveals itself along a grand driveway flanked by a three-storey waterfall and vertical garden, culminating in a circular LED-lit fountain crowned by a centuries-old olive tree, an unforgettable arrival.
The main residence spans 2,200 m² with 11 bedrooms and 15 bathrooms, plus a 250 m² two-bedroom guest/staff apartment with independent access. Six-metre-high doors open to a soaring living space framed by a curved 7-metre glass wall and anchored by a bespoke two-metre open-flame fireplace and sculptural seating.
A state-of-the-art 2aKÜCHEN kitchen with Gaggenau appliances and a hidden chef’s kitchen set the stage for effortless entertaining, complemented by three wine cellars, including a dramatic glass-walled 1,500-bottle showcase.
The 150 m² Principal Suite offers a MARAZZI-tiled spa bathroom, walk-in wardrobes, fireplace, 4K TV, and personal coffee station, opening to a wraparound terrace with sweeping Mediterranean views.

La Zagaleta is widely regarded as the most exclusive private residential estate in continental Europe. Set across 900 hectares of protected Andalusian hillside above Benahavis, it operates as a fully gated community with 24-hour security and strictly controlled access. The estate’s low-density planning, with fewer than 420 plots across its entire footprint, ensures a level of privacy and natural landscape preservation that no other address on the Costa del Sol can match.
Benahavis village, a 10-minute drive, offers well-regarded restaurants including Los Abanicos and El Gamonal. Puerto Banus is approximately 15 minutes away for marina dining, retail, and services. Marbella’s Golden Mile, with its hotels, beach clubs, and medical facilities, is around 20 minutes by car.
Marbella is approximately 25 kilometres from La Zagaleta, reachable in under 30 minutes via the AP-7 motorway. Malaga Airport, the main international hub for the Costa del Sol, is roughly 65 kilometres away and handles direct routes to most major European cities, with journey times from the estate of approximately 45 to 55 minutes by car. Gibraltar Airport, around 60 kilometres to the southwest, provides an additional access point.
