Compared to developments like Aquamar in Torre del Mar (from €269,950), Lantana Residencial in Mijas (from €205,000), and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona (from €259,000), this project is positioned in a significantly higher price bracket. Those projects typically offer existing apartments or villas at a fraction of the cost. The exclusivity of La Zagaleta, the plot size, and the opportunity to construct a fully bespoke luxury villa justify the price difference. While the aforementioned projects cater to a broader audience seeking ready-to-move-in coastal properties, this offering targets buyers prepared to invest in a premium location and a world-class residence, with associated design and construction expenses. The location itself, with its 24-hour security and natural surroundings, is distinctive compared to more urban or coastal developments elsewhere on the Costa del Sol.
