About this property
Overview
9-bedroom Villa with sea views in La Zagaleta, Costa del Sol. This newly completed residence by AMES Arquitectos delivers seven-metre ceilings in the main living area and floor-to-ceiling glass walls that slide entirely into the structure, removing the boundary between interior and terrace.
The 2,174sqm villa spreads across a configuration that includes 11 bathrooms, an open-plan living area with a Modulnova kitchen fitted with Gaggenau appliances, and 419sqm of terrace space for outdoor dining. The ground level connects directly to an L-shaped heated infinity pool with integrated jacuzzi, whilst the upper floor captures sea views alongside vistas across the surrounding countryside and mountains. A landscaped forecourt provides arrival space, and the 4,328sqm plot incorporates a fire pit, shaded lounges, and gardens that screen the property from neighbouring sightlines. One parking space is included.
La Zagaleta sits in the hills above Benahavís, with the villa positioned to overlook the estate's original golf course. The gated community lies 15 kilometres inland from Puerto Banús, where the marina and coastal restaurants are a 20-minute drive. Completion is scheduled for 2026.

Buying this villa in La Zagaleta
Can foreigners buy property in La Zagaleta?
Yes. Spain places no restrictions on foreign buyers, EU and non-EU citizens can purchase freely in La Zagaleta. You will need a Spanish NIE (foreigner tax number) before signing the title deed, plus a Spanish bank account for the transfer. The full purchase typically completes 6 to 10 weeks from signing the reservation contract.
What is an NIE and how do I get one?
The NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero) is your Spanish tax ID and is mandatory for buying property, opening a bank account or paying taxes. You can apply at a Spanish consulate in your home country or in person in Spain. Your lawyer can also obtain it on your behalf with a power of attorney, typically 2 to 4 weeks.
Do I need a Spanish lawyer?
Strongly recommended. An independent lawyer (abogado), separate from the agent and seller, verifies title, checks for debts and planning issues, drafts contracts and represents you at the notary. Typical fee is 1% of the purchase price plus VAT, with a minimum around €1,500.
How long does completion take?
From accepted offer to keys: 6 to 10 weeks for a resale, 30 to 45 days from reservation if no mortgage is needed. New-build off-plan completes when the development is delivered, often 18 to 36 months after reservation, with staged payments along the way.
What taxes will I pay buying a property in La Zagaleta?
Resale property in Andalucía: ITP (transfer tax) at 7%. New-build: 10% IVA + 1.2% AJD (stamp duty). Plus notary, land registry and legal fees of roughly 1 to 2%. Budget 10 to 13% on top of the asking price for total acquisition costs.
What ongoing costs should I expect?
Annual IBI (council tax) is typically 0.4 to 1.1% of cadastral value. Community fees on apartments and gated villas range €100 to €600/month depending on amenities. Non-resident owners pay an annual income tax based on cadastral value, plus utilities and home insurance.
Are agent fees paid by the buyer or seller?
In Spain the seller pays the agent commission (typically 3 to 6% + VAT), already baked into the asking price. Buyers do not pay agent fees on resale or new-build.
Can non-residents get a Spanish mortgage?
Yes. Spanish banks lend to non-residents at typical LTVs of 60 to 70% of the lower of purchase price or valuation (vs 80% for residents). Rates are competitive with the rest of the eurozone. You will need 6 months of bank statements, tax returns and proof of income, pre-approval takes 2 to 4 weeks.
Should I get pre-approval before viewing?
Recommended for serious buyers. A mortgage in principle confirms your budget, signals credibility to sellers and shortens completion. We can introduce you to specialist non-resident mortgage brokers familiar with the local market.
