Nestled in the foothills of the Serranía de Ronda Mountains, it’s a unique place to live on the Costa del Sol. It’s also considered to be one of Spain’s most luxurious mountain retreats with residents including global politicians, entrepreneurs and household names. The surrounding pine and oak forests afford guests privacy while lakes and wildlife add to the tranquillity. There are a number of hiking trails for those who want to explore the area on foot while an equestrian centre allows riders to discover the valleys and groves on horseback. Other facilities available to residents in La Zagaleta include two pristine 18-hole golf courses and two tennis courts. There’s also a sociable clubhouse where residents can meet for a quiet drink or bite to eat. Although the location is wonderfully tranquil, the Mediterranean shoreline is just a 10-minute drive away in Marbella town centre. Here you’ll find sandy beaches, beachside promenades and plenty of water sports on offer plus Michelin-starred restaurants, designer boutiques and a dazzling marina full of luxury yachts. While Marbella offers plenty to do and see, the neighbouring town of Puerto Banus is also worth a visit if only to stroll along its picturesque harbour surrounded by white Andalusian houses. At night, it offers even more distractions with its popular nightclubs, piano bars and beach parties attracting a well-heeled crowd. Away from the glamour of Puerto Banus, 20 minutes east from the villa is the delightful Cabopino Port and Marina. Known as the ‘Little Gem’ on the Costa del Sol, it's a charming place to spend an afternoon with its cobbled squares, stylish port and historic watchtower. Dine at one of the open-air restaurants, relax on the sandy beach or charter a yacht for the day and explore the stunning coastline.   Away from the splendour of Marbella's shores, lies the pretty village of Benahavis with its narrow streets, historic ruins and river walks. If you're feeling adventurous, you can try your hand at canyoning through the gorges, waterfalls and plunge pools. After all that activity, be sure to stop at one of the Spanish restaurants. Benahavis is known as the dining room of the Costa del Sol and is the perfect place to linger over a plate of tapas while watching the sun turn the Serrania de Ronda Mountains pink.
