Villa La Purezain La Zagaleta, Benahavis, Marbella, Spain

Located in the hills above Marbella, La Zagaleta is a secure, gated community featuring extensive natural surroundings and exceptional amenities, including two private golf courses, two clubhouses with restaurants and bars, a swimming pool, tennis and paddle courts, an equestrian centre, and a heliport. All facilities are reserved for residents and guests, ensuring privacy and exclusivity.

The south-facing villa is distributed across three levels and measures 1,224 m², set on a landscaped plot of 4,017 m² with 390 m² of terraces. Designed with a mix of Mediterranean architecture and Nordic elements, the property blends natural materials and modern construction techniques to create refined and functional living spaces. The entrance opens through a patio framed by olive trees into a spacious hallway with double-height ceilings. The main floor features an open living and dining area, a fully fitted Arrital kitchen with top-spec Gaggenau appliances, and a separate informal dining area.

This level includes two guest bedroom suites in the west wing, each with access to terraces and sea views. The large covered terraces connect to the infinity pool (over 13 meters long) and overlook the manicured subtropical gardens, which include an automatic irrigation system and unobstructed views toward the coastline and mountains.

Upstairs, there are two more en-suite bedrooms. The primary suite includes a private south-facing terrace with sea views, a dressing room, and a spacious bathroom with a freestanding bathtub and walk-in shower. A further guest suite on the west side also offers a south-facing terrace and panoramic views.

The lower level includes two more en-suite bedrooms with access to open patios and the garden. A central space, naturally lit through the pool’s glass feature, is ideal for use as a gym and spa area and is connected to a bar and media lounge. A temperature-controlled glass wine display separates this space from the two-car garage. Additional parking is available by the kitchen and entrance.

The villa includes utility and laundry rooms, a separate guest apartment, and a rooftop solarium. The interiors are furnished with select Danish and Italian pieces by Hansen and Juhl and artwork by Lita Cabellut.
