Regional Comparison

Compared to other projects on the Costa del Sol, this penthouse in Benalmádena Costa offers an exceptional frontline beach location. Projects like Acqua Gardens and Aby Upper in Estepona, priced from €418,800 and €320,000 respectively, generally do not offer the same direct beach access and sea views. Alba Benalmadena, a comparable project in Benalmádena, starts from €699,000, placing this specific penthouse in a higher price bracket, justified by its unique location and modern 2021 finishes. The focus on luxury, panoramic views, and direct access to the coastline distinguishes this project from developments located further inland or those set back from the immediate beachfront. The presence of a tourist license adds an extra investment dimension not found in all comparable projects.
