La Zagaleta, Europe’s most Exclusive and Prestigious Gated Community
La Zagaleta is one of Europe’s most exclusive and prestigious gated communities, located in the hills of Benahavís, just a short drive from Marbella on Spain’s Costa del Sol. Originally a private hunting estate owned by Saudi businessman Adnan Khashoggi, it was transformed in 1991 into a luxurious residential enclave spanning 900 hectares of protected natural landscapes.
This ultra-private community offers 24-hour security and controlled access through two gated entrances, ensuring complete discretion and tranquility for its residents. With fewer than 250 properties, each home sits on expansive plots ranging from 3,000 to 10,000 square meters, offering panoramic views of the Mediterranean Sea, Gibraltar, and the African coastline.
La Zagaleta boasts two private 18-hole golf courses, a refined clubhouse with gourmet dining and leisure facilities, an equestrian center with 23 stables, tennis and paddle courts, and its own private helipad. The estate is surrounded by lush Mediterranean forests, streams, and waterfalls, providing a peaceful setting ideal for outdoor activities like hiking, horseback riding, and mountain biking.
Despite its secluded feel, La Zagaleta is just minutes away from the vibrant life of Marbella and Puerto Banús. It represents the pinnacle of high-end living—where privacy, nature, and exceptional amenities converge to create a truly unparalleled lifestyle.
