LUXURY VILLA RENTALS
LA ZAGALETA

La Zagaleta is a private gated residential estate in the hills of Marbella, in Benahavis, close to Marbella. Set across approximately 900 hectares of natural landscape, it combines low-density residential living with two private golf courses, clubhouses, an equestrian centre and extensive private amenities. Its emphasis on privacy, space and discretion makes it particularly attractive to international families and guests seeking a more protected way to experience Marbella.

Access to La Zagaleta is controlled through private entrance points. Before arrival, guest and vehicle details are coordinated in advance so access can be arranged smoothly. Service providers and staff entering the estate are also subject to the relevant access procedures.
