The architecture and interior layout respect the peaceful natural surroundings, with the home distributed across two carefully conceived levels. A bespoke main entrance door with a glass panel welcomes natural light into a reception hall that leads to a formal living area with high ceilings and high-end windows by Roman Clavero, framing spectacular views of the garden, pool, and lush landscape. Adjacent is a semi-open dining room connecting to the south-facing terrace, complete with an outdoor kitchen and dining area for alfresco meals.

The property balances refined indoor living with practical outdoor leisure across its 651 sqm of internal space and 133 sqm of terraces.
Outdoor living is seamlessly woven into the experience at Villa Liora. The garden boasts a 60 sqm saltwater swimming pool, set within landscaped grounds maintained by an automated irrigation system for greenery all year. A private two-car garage and advanced home security infrastructure, enhanced by La Zagaleta’s 24/7 community surveillance, deliver comfort and peace of mind.
On the lower floor, the villa is designed for lifestyle and relaxation. A private cinema room, massage suite, fully equipped gym, and a cinema room offer a wide range of leisure options for residents and guests. There is also a temperature-controlled wine cellar. This level includes full service quarters, two en suite bedrooms, and a kitchenette, supporting household functionality without compromising privacy.

Every element is crafted with precision, from the technical room enabling seamless system operation to the full Zennio smart home system, providing intuitive control of lighting, security, and climate.
Located just 12 minutes from essential shops and 20 minutes from elite international schools like Aloha College and Swans International School, the villa offers a balanced lifestyle where nature, luxury, and convenience converge. Travel is effortless with the A-7 motorway and Málaga Airport under an hour away.
While La Zagaleta restricts public transport to maintain its exclusivity, residents instead enjoy chauffeur services and private transport options. Life here goes beyond homeownership, offering a world-class lifestyle with access to two private golf courses, a luxury clubhouse featuring dining and event spaces, and equestrian facilities, all spread across more than 900 hectares of protected natural reserve. Sustainability is also a priority, with eco-conscious construction methods and a dedication to safeguarding the area’s stunning landscape. Villa Liora transcends the typical residence, representing a lifestyle investment for discerning buyers seeking elegance, privacy, and natural surroundings without sacrificing proximity to top-tier amenities.
