VILLA THE RETREAT La Zagaleta, Benahavis
Asking prices across the agency networks we track, as at 30 July 2026. Bars span the middle half of each peer group; the line marks the median. The first bar covers apartments and houses together, so a house will often sit high on it.
These are the averages across ALL houses in Benahavis that disclose a figure, not this property alone. Where a bill for this one is on file it is shown against that range so you can see where it sits. Bills follow the rateable value and the community budget, so two neighbours can differ; we will get you the actual figures before you commit.
Registered sale prices across Benahavis, October 2025 to April 2026. Real money paid and recorded, not asking prices. The deed count is a measure of our coverage of the register, not of how many homes sold, and deeds register some months after the sale, so this is one pooled figure for the whole window rather than a monthly line.
Three different measures, shown separately because they are not comparable: what sellers ask, what deeds record, and what valuers assess. The last two cover a whole postcode and a whole municipality at every price level, so a prime property will always sit well above them.

Is La Zagaleta in Marbella?
No. La Zagaleta is in Benahavís, its own municipality with its own town hall and its own planning framework, and it is reached from the Ronda road above San Pedro de Alcántara rather than from the coast road. Marbella and Puerto Banús are each about twenty minutes by car.
How far is La Zagaleta from Puerto Banús?
About twenty minutes by car on the estate’s own published figures, with the centre of Marbella a similar distance and the Golden Mile around twenty five minutes. Those estimates move with the traffic, and there is no train, so plan on driving.
How many houses are there in La Zagaleta?
Two hundred and thirty are built against a plan drawn for four hundred and twenty, on the estate’s own count. The land runs to nearly nine hundred hectares, which is where the space between them comes from.
