Villa Mirador

Villa Mirador boasts a great location within the sought-after development of La Zagaleta – an exclusive gated community of more than 900 hectares of natural beauty centred around a well-manicured golf course. About equidistant between ultra-lux Marbella and the more laid-back, traditional town of Estepona, this truly beautiful home is ideally placed for getting the most out of this vibrant and ever-popular part of Spain.

La Zagaleta is around a 30-minute drive from Marbella – known by some as Southern Spain's answer to St. Tropez and a well-established playground for the rich, famous, and undeniably glamorous. Here you will find an array of high-end boutiques, Michelin-starred restaurants, excellent nightlife, and beautiful beaches dotted with trendy cafes where the order of the day is celeb-spotting.

Of course, there is also the large marina at Puerto Banus, one of the world's best-known luxury ports that houses a sprawling selection of glittering mega-yachts. Spend an afternoon strolling through the marina before finding the perfect spot to sip a sundowner as the European jet-set gather on their yachts for another evening of champagne-doused hedonism. Then there is the traditional 'old town' of Marbella, which retains an authentic Spanish charm and is filled with cobbled streets lined by a vast array of restaurants serving some of the best tapas on the Costa del Sol. Don't miss out on the chance to try the famous patatas bravas (fried potatoes in a spicy tomato sauce) or, for the slightly more adventurous, pulpo a la gallega (octopus with paprika, olive oil, and sea salt).

Marbella is also home to some wonderful beaches, many of which are family-friendly thanks to their wide expanses of soft golden sand and comparatively shallow waters. All along this stretch of coastline, you will find a variety of water sports for all ability levels, as well as volleyball and other seaside activities. In the Plaza de los Naranjos, or Orange Square, you'll find yourself surrounded by opulent architecture from both the Moorish and Baroque ages, some of which dates back to the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. Other popular seaside resorts can be found all along this golden stretch of coastline, including the idyllic Benahavis: a traditional town known for its wealth of authentic restaurants, whitewashed villas adorned with bougainvillaea and gently undulating surrounding landscapes.

The natural woodland forms part of a reserve characterised by its rich diversity of flowers, lakes and wildlife. There are a number of hiking trails for guests who want to explore the area on foot, while an equestrian centre allows riders to spot the resident deer, rabbits, and birdlife while on horseback. If you're after more activity, there are two pristine 18-hole golf courses reserved exclusively for residents, plus tennis courts, a bowling alley, and a billiard room in the clubhouse. The clubhouse also comes alive at night, offering seasonal restaurants, a disco, and a bar.
Due to the slightly secluded, tranquil location of this home, we would recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay and make it easy and convenient for you to discover the myriad highlights of the region.
