What is La Zagaleta?

La Zagaleta is situated in Benahavis, nestled in the hills above San Pedro along the Carretera de Ronda. The estate boasts two entrances guarded by armed personnel 24 hours a day, and access is only granted to owners, their guests, or authorized tradespeople. In other words, you won’t be given an entry if your name is not on the list.

The private property’s office is just 5 minutes from the estate, and Marbella can be reached in under 15 minutes.

The background of La Zagaleta.

This natural paradise was originally called La Barraka by Adnan Khashoggi who used it for a while as his own private home and hunting ground. In 1990, he lost the estate in bankruptcy proceedings and La Zagaleta became the retreat of the world’s richest millionaires and famous, drawn to the estate’s great location and absolute privacy.

Within this luxurious setting, Khashoggi courted some of the most influential figures of his time.

In 1990, a consortium of investors led by Mr. Enrique Pérez Flores acquired La Baraka, giving rise to La Zagaleta SA. Flores envisaged creating a super-exclusive estate that would blend seamlessly with the natural surroundings in the foothills of the Ronda mountain range. However, the estate’s development plan called for a maximum of only 420 homes, ensuring that the environment remained low-density while providing top-notch facilities for the exclusive use of its residents.
