Villa Malibú, wood, light and outdoor living in La Zagaleta

Nestled in La Zagaleta, Benahavís, Villa Malibú is located approximately 9 km from Puerto Banús, 12–15 km from Puente Romano, 15 km from the centre of Marbella and 66 km from Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport (approximate distances from the southern entrance).

The house offers a private lifestyle, with controlled access and a low-density natural environment. Within the complex, residents enjoy clubhouses, two golf courses and an equestrian centre, as well as services designed for calm and discreet living.

The property has a contemporary look, with exterior wood cladding, a flat roof and clean lines. A recent refurbishment has updated the interior and exterior, incorporating bespoke features and optimising the plot. It is delivered ready to move into, with a palette of neutral tones and a comfortable layout over three floors, plus several outdoor areas.

From the entrance hall, the house is organised into two wings. On the left is the social heart: an open space with a contemporary kitchen and integrated brand-name appliances, a breakfast bar, a defined dining area and a living area. This space connects to a large covered terrace with space for dining and relaxing while looking out onto the garden. Separately, a more intimate lounge creates a quiet corner for reading or unwinding.

The right wing houses the master suite, with en-suite bathroom, dressing room and private terrace. On the lower floor there are five en-suite bedrooms, all with wardrobes and plenty of natural light; several have direct access to the garden. This floor also includes a multipurpose area and a separate service apartment with living room, kitchen and en-suite bedroom, as well as a laundry room, storage room and utility room.

The basement maintains the same style of materials and focuses on well-being: a gym with cupboards and a spa area with sauna, hammam, shower and toilet. Outside, the garden combines mature trees and hedges with lawns. Stairs lead down to a sheltered swimming pool, surrounded by a perimeter patio and a partially covered terrace, ideal for al fresco dining. The house has underfloor heating, air conditioning, a 2-car garage, pool house and pool toilet.
