Design & Architecture An architectural icon within La Zagaleta, this villa masterfully blends sculptural expression with technical brilliance. The fluid, curved façade is an artistic statement in itself, complemented by sweeping terraces that echo the landscape’s natural contours. Its commanding presence is underscored by soaring double-height spaces, 7-metre-high vertical windows, floating staircases, and grand feature fireplaces. Designed over four expansive levels and connected by both stairs and a sleek glass elevator, the residence delivers architectural theatre while maintaining elegance and flow. Every surface and element, from Italian porcelain slabs to bespoke metalwork and art lighting, has been curated to the highest aesthetic and technical standards.

Layout & Living Areas At its heart, the home features vast, interconnected living zones with seamless transitions between formal and relaxed spaces. A dramatic double-height entry with sculptural staircase opens to an expansive living room centred around a double-sided, floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace. The family lounge, with curated cabinetry and Samsung media wall, offers a more intimate space, while the formal dining room, adjacent to the show kitchen, is ideal for grand entertaining. The main kitchen is a culinary masterpiece with twin islands, Gaggenau appliances, and water feature views. A separate staff kitchen and pantry ensure discreet service for large gatherings.

Main Sleeping Quarters The 180 m² principal suite is a private sanctuary of indulgence. High ceilings, a custom stone fireplace, private café bar, and Samsung media unit complement an expansive designer bathroom and a fully fitted walk-in wardrobe. This suite opens onto a private terrace with panoramic sea and forest views. Additional bedroom suites are distributed across multiple floors, each with individual character, terrace access, and luxurious ensuite bathrooms—three of which enjoy independent external access, offering privacy for guests or family.

Guest & Staff Quarters The villa offers dedicated guest accommodations with separate entrances, ideal for VIP visitors or multi-generational living. A self-contained two-bedroom staff suite, complete with private kitchen and service access, ensures comfort and independence for live-in personnel. The inclusion of an office with exterior access further adds versatility for business or concierge operations.

Entertainment & Lifestyle Areas Tailored for exceptional living, the lower level unfolds into a private entertainment world. A two-sided, glass-encased 1,500-bottle wine cellar and a second decorative display cellar anchor a bespoke bar lounge. Adjacent is a multi-level cinema with custom reclined seating and Bang & Olufsen surround sound. The games lounge is equipped with a bowling alley, pool and ping pong tables, foosball, and a ‘sports bar’ style media wall. A separate children’s lounge with outdoor cinema ensures all ages are catered for.

Wellness & 5-Star Hotel Facilities This home rivals any five-star spa resort. The wellness suite includes a heated indoor pool with cascading waterfall, a floating whirlpool, a 10-person steam room, cedar sauna, massage therapy room with privacy glass, and a chill-out area with towel niches and ambient LED lighting. Italian MARAZZI porcelain in oversized slabs lines the spa in natural hues. The fully equipped gym—located both indoors and on the rooftop—features elite DOMYOS equipment, mirrors, media screens, and terrace access for alfresco workouts.

Outdoor Living Spaces Set within 8,000 m² of lushly landscaped grounds, the exterior is equally exquisite. The 22-metre infinity pool is surrounded by sundecks, sunken lounges, and an outdoor cinema. A rooftop terrace houses a fourth bar, Jacuzzi, firepit, and open-air fitness area. Entertaining continues with a full summer kitchen, BBQ zone, outdoor dining pavilion, and beautifully lit gardens with multi-tiered waterfalls. A putting green and basketball court complete the resort-style experience.

Entrance & Garaging Approached via an imposing private driveway and double-automated security gates, the entrance delivers immediate impact. A circular forecourt with sculptural centrepiece fountain leads to the grand main entrance, flanked by dramatic vertical architecture and illuminated black marble columns. Adjacent, the secure garage houses up to 8 vehicles, with interior finishes as refined as any living space—ideal for a collector’s showcase.

Exclusivity & Security Located within La Zagaleta’s 24/7 patrolled gates, residents benefit from ultimate discretion and security. Perimeter CCTV, motion sensors, video intercom, and full home automation ensure peace of mind. The estate’s strict privacy standards and low-density planning preserve a rare sense of tranquillity and prestige.

Views & Orientation East-facing and positioned for optimum light and privacy, the villa enjoys cinematic views over the Mediterranean, forested valleys and distant mountain peaks. The glass architecture ensures that sunrises, coastal panoramas, and natural light are an intrinsic part of daily life—inside and out.
