This project involves the development of a detached villa in La Zagaleta, Málaga. Featuring a living area of 1380 m² spread across three floors, the property offers 8 bedrooms and 9 bathrooms. The plot spans 6847 m². The villa is part of a new construction project with an estimated completion in autumn 2026. Situated at an altitude of 403 meters above sea level with a south-facing orientation, the property ensures panoramic views of the surroundings, the Mediterranean Sea, and the African coast. The residence includes a private pool.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The property is located in La Zagaleta, a residential zone in the province of Málaga. Situated at 403 meters above sea level, the elevation contributes to the expansive views. The terrain is adjacent to forested areas and golf courses. The distance to the coast is approximately 1.7 kilometers in a straight line. The immediate environment is classified as an urbanization, indicating a planned residential community with specific regulations and shared amenities.
This project addresses the demand for extensive living space and seclusion. With 8 bedrooms and 9 bathrooms, the villa is suitable for large households or hosting guests. The presence of a private pool and a large plot supports a lifestyle centered on outdoor living. The layout includes an office space, facilitating remote work. The inclusion of a 'dirty kitchen' and pantry is designed to support events and household logistics efficiently.
The villa is currently under construction. Handover is scheduled for autumn 2026. The structure comprises three floors strategically arranged to maximize light and views. The design utilizes large windows and high ceilings to enhance the connection with the outdoor environment. Installations are based on modern technology for home management and comfort. Finishes include underfloor heating in bathrooms and air conditioning.
The location in La Zagaleta implies that distances to daily amenities may be greater than in city centers. Although data lists a supermarket within 137 meters, the neighborhood's focus on exclusivity and tranquility may come with restrictions regarding noise and commercial activity. The hillside setting necessitates the use of a car for most mobility. The price point places the object at the top of the market, limiting the target audience.
This project suits individuals or families seeking a secondary or primary residence with a very high finish level and maximum privacy. The setting is appropriate for those who wish to avoid the hustle of the coast while keeping Costa del Sol amenities within reach. The multiple bedrooms make it suitable for large families. The included office space provides a solution for necessary business matters. If there is a need for a direct walk to the village square, the location may be less suitable. Also, for those with limited mobility, the hilly environment and multi-story setup could pose obstacles.
Specifications indicate the use of premium materials and modern installations. The residence features air conditioning, a fireplace, and underfloor heating for year-round comfort. The 'dirty kitchen', pantry, and separate staff entrance suggest a design that accounts for the logistics of grand living and entertainment. Large glass windows and doors require specific maintenance and insulation standards. The condition is 'New Construction', meaning finishing packages can be determined within the developer's options.
The asking price for this villa is €24,750,000. This price is for the real estate, excluding transaction costs, taxes (such as ITP and VAT), and notary fees. Given the unique position in La Zagaleta and the size of the plot and residence, this is a rare offering in the highest segment of the property market. There is no variation in availability; it concerns a single object.
Daily life in this villa is characterized by privacy and scale. The elevated position at 403 meters offers a permanent view of the sea and mountains. The south orientation ensures sunlight on the terraces throughout the day. Living here means relying on a car for trips to the city or the beach, but offers the quiet of the forest and golf areas directly from the plot. The multi-floor layout allows for separation between living and sleeping areas. Large glass openings connect the home to the garden and pool, blurring the line between indoors and outdoors. It is a setting for those who appreciate silence and nature, without immediate neighbors in close proximity.
The surroundings of La Zagaleta are green and hilly. The nearest beaches are Playa de la Malagueta and Playa de San Andrés, both within 4 kilometers in a straight line. However, due to the mountain location, driving time to the coast is significantly longer. For daily groceries, a supermarket is located 137 meters away. The area is rich in golf courses, including La Zagaleta Country Club at 1.4 km. The proximity to Málaga city ensures cultural amenities, though not directly next door. The neighborhood is car-dependent.
The map shows the villa's position in the La Zagaleta landscape. Notable is the green environment and proximity to the golf course. The distance to the A-7/AP-7 highway determines accessibility. The coastline is clearly visible at a short distance, explaining the property's sightlines.
La Zagaleta is located on the west side of Málaga, nestled between the coast and the hinterland. It is one of the most exclusive residential areas on the Costa del Sol. The position is strategic: inland enough for quiet and views, yet close enough to the urban amenities of Marbella and Málaga. It contrasts with the busy coastal strip, offering an escape from tourism with a focus on luxury and golf.
Málaga Airport is situated at a distance varying from 9.2 km to approximately 49 km in a straight line, depending on the geodataset used for the neighborhood's center. In practice, this means accessibility by car of approximately 30 to 45 minutes. Malagueta beach is 1.7 km away in a straight line. Amenities such as a pharmacy (162 m) and a hospital (1.0 km) are at a relatively short distance. There is one public transport line in the area, but a private car is essential for this location.

La Zagaleta sits at 403 meters altitude, resulting in slightly lower temperatures than the coast, particularly at night. The average annual temperature is 17.1°C. With 3,846 hours of sunshine per year, the climate is sunny. The elevated position offers protection from sea breezes and extends the swimming season in the private pool, aided by the southern orientation. The environment is forested with Mediterranean vegetation, contributing to privacy.

Although the villa is rural, the beaches of Málaga are relatively close by (1.7 km straight line). For recreation, there are several golf courses in the immediate vicinity, including La Zagaleta's own course. Other sports facilities, such as a pool and gym, are 2.7 to 3.1 km away. Puerto Banús marina is 9.1 km away in a straight line. The natural surroundings invite hiking in the mountains and forests directly around the property.

Compared to projects like Arosa in Mijas or Waterfall Residences in Fuengirola, this project is in a different market segment. La Zagaleta is a gated community with much higher entry prices and larger plots. Where Mijas and Fuengirola often offer apartments and townhouses closer to the center and beach, La Zagaleta offers country estates with more privacy. The price of €24.75 million is significantly higher than starting prices in Fuengirola (€364k - €720k), reflecting plot size, location in a secure environment, and neighborhood status. Comparable to the top segment in Marbella (Nagüeles), but more inland oriented with more forest and sea views.
