Villa Elysium – Frontline Golf Plot and Luxury Villa Project in La Zagaleta, Benahavís

Plot Elysium occupies one of the estate’s most privileged positions. Its frontline golf location creates a natural connection with the surrounding fairways and open green landscapes while remaining elevated enough to guarantee privacy. The plot’s orientation allows for wide views that extend across the golf course and toward the mountainous terrain beyond. Because it is located within a quiet cul-de-sac, traffic is extremely limited, reinforcing the peaceful character of the area while still allowing convenient access to the estate’s main entrance and internal road network.

One of the most significant advantages of Plot Elysium is that it is ready for construction. A long private driveway has already been prepared, offering an elegant arrival through mature greenery before reaching the main building area. The plot includes a fully levelled plateau, strategically positioned to host the future residence while maximising both the views and the southern sunlight. This prepared building platform significantly simplifies the development process and allows construction to begin without the extensive groundwork typically required on hillside plots.

The proposed architectural concept for Villa Elysium has been designed by Marco van Veldhuizen, a Dutch architect known for minimalist and timeless residential architecture. Through Studio Marco van Veldhuizen, he has developed a reputation for creating bespoke villas where architecture responds carefully to the landscape. His designs emphasise natural materials, balanced proportions and a seamless relationship between interior and exterior living spaces. The planned villa reflects these principles, combining contemporary architecture with open living areas and expansive terraces designed to frame the surrounding scenery.

Living in La Zagaleta offers access to an extensive range of private facilities rarely found within a residential estate. Residents enjoy two private golf courses, each with its own clubhouse, offering panoramic mountain views and exclusive playing conditions. The estate also includes a private equestrian centre, tennis and padel courts, scenic hiking and cycling trails, and a helipad that allows direct helicopter access for residents and guests. Social life within the estate is centred around the clubhouses, where restaurants, lounges and event spaces provide a refined environment for residents.

Despite the privacy of La Zagaleta, daily amenities remain within comfortable reach. The nearby village of Benahavís is well known for its restaurants, including Los Abanicos, Amanhavis and El Chico, while nearby residential areas such as La Quinta offer supermarkets, cafés and additional services. Several renowned golf courses are also located nearby, including La Quinta Golf & Country Club, Los Arqueros Golf, and Marbella Club Golf Resort.

Plot Elysium represents a rare opportunity to acquire a frontline golf development plot in La Zagaleta together with a carefully designed architectural project. Combining privacy, natural beauty and world-class amenities, the property offers an exceptional foundation for creating a bespoke luxury residence within one of the most prestigious private estates in Europe.
