Villa Mirador

Located in the heart of the ever-popular Costa del Sol within the prestigious gated community of La Zagaleta – an exclusive development that includes a popular golf course (which you will be able to make use of during your stay) – this classically elegant seven-bedroom villa for up to fourteen guests offers a comfortable base from which to set out and discover the many delights of this multifaceted part of Spain.

Situated on a large plot comprising of gorgeous manicured gardens, chic seating areas, and a fabulous pool finished with opulent, intricate tiling, the home feels warm, welcoming, and homely – while still providing that extra touch of unmistakeable grandeur to make your stay extra special.

We especially love how this home manages to effortlessly meld old with new. Offering a distinctive blend of traditional Andalusian architecture reminiscent of some of the area's centuries-old palaces – with its beautiful central courtyard surrounded by elegant white columns, balconies, and housing a striking mosaic-tiled water fountain – and contemporary styling with plenty of handy modern conveniences this home epitomises the perfect blend of tradition of modernity.

Within its stunning interiors, you will find an enviable list of luxury amenities; including a home cinema system, games room complete with a bar area and a billiards table on the lower ground floor as well as a wine cellar, a sauna, and a well-equipped home gym. There is even a lift that serves each of the three floors within the home, which is not only convenient and practical but adds to the sense of high-end opulence that permeates the entire property.

Downstairs, you will find several large, sumptuous living spaces, including more than one plush seating area, an impressive double-height living room, and a sleek dining room that's just calling out to host a lavish dinner filled with rich Andalusian flavours. Two of the seven ensuite bedrooms are found on the ground floor, which, again, makes this a good option for guests with mobility issues.

Many rooms across the sprawling ground floor offer direct access to the beautiful gardens, allowing you to really make the most of the sun-drenched Andalusian climate and blur the boundaries between inside and out for a taste of laid-back Spanish summertime living. Imagine waking in the morning in one of the gorgeously-finished bedrooms and stepping straight out onto one of the numerous terraces to be greeted by that fabulous, panoramic vista. The only thing that's missing is that first cup of freshly-brewed aromatic coffee… Someone put the kettle on?

Step into the glorious gardens of this home, and not only will you have the chance to take a dip in the inviting waters of the heated swimming pool, but you'll also have your pick of several lovely outdoor seating areas and covered terraces, loads of loungers, a fully-equipped summer kitchen where you can prepare a meal of freshly grilled local produce accompanied by zesty salads, and a children's playground that's perfect for keeping the little ones entertained while you sip a well-earned glass (or two) of refreshing sangria.

Included in the bedroom count of seven are two double bedrooms located in an adjacent guest house, a self-contained unit that has its own private entrance and a small kitchen/living area – great for a couple of couples, a small family, or even older teenagers who want their own space during their stay. There is also a barbecue, a wet bar, and a garage for up to four vehicles – not to mention the picturesque countryside that surrounds the home and is ripe for exploring. There really is something for everyone in this superior home.
