The wider area of Benahavis Municipality incorporates some of the most exclusive developments in Spain, including la Zagaleta.

An exclusive, luxury, gated community that is home to the rich and famous on a mountainside location with breath-taking views and properties to match. Opulent villas with endless bedrooms, bathrooms, cinema rooms and private gyms as standard that require film-star sized chequebooks to purchase.
