Villa for sale in 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.
About this property
Villa Elysium Project: Unprecedented Exclusivity and Luxury in La Zagaleta, Benahavís
Welcome to Villa Elysium, a unique residential opportunity presented by Grupo Ibercosta. This project is situated in the heart of La Zagaleta, the most prestigious and ultra-exclusive private estate in all of Europe. Nestled in the hills of Benahavís—just minutes from vibrant Marbella and glamorous Puerto Banús—this property represents the pinnacle of luxury in southern Spain. La Zagaleta is not merely a place of residence; it is a lifestyle defined by discretion, absolute security, and an unparalleled natural setting spanning over 900 hectares of protected Mediterranean landscape.
A Privileged Enclave in Southern Spain
Villa Elysium’s location is simply unsurpassed. Situated on a quiet cul-de-sac, the plot offers a haven of peace and absolute privacy within the exclusive La Zagaleta Golf & Country Club estate. This strategic location ensures there is no through-traffic, allowing residents to enjoy an atmosphere of total serenity. Occupying one of the highest points on the Costa del Sol, the property boasts a commanding position that affords 270-degree panoramic views, stretching from the pristine fairways of the new golf course to the majestic mountain ranges that define the Andalusian landscape.
Residing in La Zagaleta means having access to amenities that surpass the standards of any five-star resort. The community features 24-hour private security, ensuring complete peace of mind for the most discerning families. Furthermore, residents enjoy access to two internationally acclaimed private golf courses, a world-class equestrian center, a private helipad, tennis and padel courts, and a social clubhouse offering fine dining services. All of this is complemented by kilometers of nature trails for hiking and cycling, seamlessly blending luxury living with the unspoiled nature of the Sierra de las Nieves.
Avant-Garde Architecture by Marco van Veldhuizen
Villa Elysium was conceived under the vision of the renowned Dutch architect Marco van Veldhuizen. Internationally acclaimed for his minimalist and timeless approach, Van Veldhuizen has designed a residence that serves as an ode to space and light. Through his firm, Studio Marco van Veldhuizen, the architect has created a villa that prioritizes the sensory experience, utilizing top-quality natural materials and harmonious proportions that blur the boundaries between indoors and outdoors.
The villa’s design focuses on maximizing southern light and spectacular views of the surrounding landscape. Every space is designed to flow elegantly, featuring open-plan living areas, floor-to-ceiling windows, and terraces that invite residents to enjoy the Costa del Sol’s privileged climate year-round. In essence, it is a property designed for those who appreciate the art of fine living, combining modern functionality with a sophisticated aesthetic that will never go out of style.
A Plot Ready for Construction
One of Villa Elysium’s greatest assets is that the project is fully prepared for immediate construction. Unlike other sites, this plot already boasts an impressive, carefully designed private driveway that winds through the natural vegetation, providing an elegant and private approach to the main building area. The plot features a fully leveled plateau, strategically positioned to capitalize on the southern orientation and ensure that views of the golf course and mountains take center stage in the future home.
This advance preparation offers a significant competitive advantage, as it drastically reduces development timelines and allows the property’s true potential to be visualized from the very start. Being situated on the front line of the new La Zagaleta golf course ensures a constant visual connection with green meadows and open spaces, creating a sense of freedom and spaciousness that is hard to find elsewhere. Villa Elysium is not merely a real estate project; it is an opportunity to build a legacy in the most exclusive corner of Southern Europe.

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.
