A Privileged Enclave in Southern Spain
Villa Elysium’s location is simply unsurpassed. Situated on a quiet cul-de-sac, the plot offers a haven of peace and absolute privacy within the exclusive La Zagaleta Golf & Country Club estate. This strategic location ensures there is no through-traffic, allowing residents to enjoy an atmosphere of total serenity. Occupying one of the highest points on the Costa del Sol, the property boasts a commanding position that affords 270-degree panoramic views, stretching from the pristine fairways of the new golf course to the majestic mountain ranges that define the Andalusian landscape.

All of this is complemented by kilometers of nature trails for hiking and cycling, seamlessly blending luxury living with the unspoiled nature of the Sierra de las Nieves.
Avant-Garde Architecture by Marco van Veldhuizen
Villa Elysium was conceived under the vision of the renowned Dutch architect Marco van Veldhuizen. Internationally acclaimed for his minimalist and timeless approach, Van Veldhuizen has designed a residence that serves as an ode to space and light. Through his firm, Studio Marco van Veldhuizen, the architect has created a villa that prioritizes the sensory experience, utilizing top-quality natural materials and harmonious proportions that blur the boundaries between indoors and outdoors.
The villa’s design focuses on maximizing southern light and spectacular views of the surrounding landscape. Every space is designed to flow elegantly, featuring open-plan living areas, floor-to-ceiling windows, and terraces that invite residents to enjoy the Costa del Sol’s privileged climate year-round. In essence, it is a property designed for those who appreciate the art of fine living, combining modern functionality with a sophisticated aesthetic that will never go out of style.
A Plot Ready for Construction
One of Villa Elysium’s greatest assets is that the project is fully prepared for immediate construction. Unlike other sites, this plot already boasts an impressive, carefully designed private driveway that winds through the natural vegetation, providing an elegant and private approach to the main building area. The plot features a fully leveled plateau, strategically positioned to capitalize on the southern orientation and ensure that views of the golf course and mountains take center stage in the future home.
This advance preparation offers a significant competitive advantage, as it drastically reduces development timelines and allows the property's true potential to be visualized from the very start. Being situated on the front line of the new La Zagaleta golf course ensures a constant visual connection with green meadows and open spaces, creating a sense of freedom and spaciousness that is hard to find elsewhere. Villa Elysium is not merely a real estate project; it is an opportunity to build a legacy in the most exclusive corner of Southern Europe.

Benahavís - La Zagaleta
Benahavís is a municipality in Andalusia located in the province of Málaga, between the mountains and the coast, in a strategic position between Ronda, Estepona, and Marbella. Although it is very close to the coast, it has a strong traditional white village character, with a historic center featuring narrow streets, whitewashed houses, and viewpoints overlooking the surrounding valleys. Its municipal area, one of the largest on the entire Costa del Sol, includes rivers, hills, and gorges, as well as extensive protected natural areas. All of this shapes a landscape characteristic of the Serranía de Ronda. One of the greatest charms of this area is its natural surroundings: the ravines, such as Las Angosturas, the hiking trails, the natural pools, and rivers like the Guadalmina make the region a popular place for outdoor activities like mountain biking, canyoning, and hiking. Montemayor Castle, a 10th-century fortress, is located at the highest part of the town. From there, you can enjoy splendid views of the coast and, on clear days, of the North African region. Benahavís is famous for the large number and quality of its inns and restaurants, which blend Mediterranean cuisine, Andalusian tradition, and the latest modern options. One of the main attractions for tourists and local visitors is its culinary offering.In recent decades, this town has become one of the most exclusive residential areas in the country. La Zagaleta, El Madroñal, Monte Mayor, and Los Arqueros are high-end developments that attract residents from other parts of the world and the country, mainly due to the privacy, landscapes, and proximity to Marbella. Tourism and the service sector, along with this development, have significantly boosted the local economy. Benahavís has managed to maintain a peaceful, safe, and well-kept environment that blends rural tradition with a contemporary and luxurious lifestyle, despite its growth. It is a perfect place for those who want to enjoy nature, sports, food, and tranquility just minutes away from the noise of the Costa del Sol.
