Compared to projects like Acqua Gardens (€418,800) and Aby Upper (€320,000) in Estepona, this villa in Alora is positioned at a higher price point (€575,000), which is justifiable given its significantly larger plot size of 5000 m² and built area of 360 m² with 5 bedrooms. Projects in more coastal locations like Estepona and Benalmadena typically offer more direct access to beaches and a more tourist-oriented environment. The villa in Alora, however, situated in a historic inland 'pueblo blanco', attracts buyers looking for more space, tranquility, and authenticity, away from the coastal crowds. The price per square meter of living space is comparable or even more favorable than the coastal projects mentioned, depending on specific finishes and location premiums. Alba Benalmadena (€699,000) is priced in a similar segment but is located directly on the coast, with associated benefits and pricing. The Alora villa distinguishes itself through its rural character and potential for development on the spacious plot, appealing to a different type of buyer than the apartment complexes in Estepona.
