History
Where it began
In the 1980s La Zagaleta was the private hunting estate of Saudi businessman Adnan Khashoggi. In the 1990s it was acquired by a group of investors and turned into a private members' community — designed from the start for absolute discretion.
Future
Where it is heading
With strict limits on new building, the number of homes will always stay small. New contemporary mansions are setting record prices, and La Zagaleta continues to attract global families seeking privacy and security.
