Regional Comparison

Compared to projects 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 penthouse in Benalmadena Costa is positioned in a higher price bracket, with a starting price of €730,000. This pricing is justified by its coastal location, immediate proximity to the beach (as close as 300 meters), and urban amenities, as well as its status as a luxuriously finished existing apartment with substantial living space (161 m²). The other mentioned projects appear to be new constructions with lower starting prices, typical for developments in emerging or less central coastal areas. Benalmadena Costa benefits from an established reputation and a high level of urban development, including proximity to Málaga Airport (10 km) and an extensive public transport network. The combination of a well-appointed existing apartment in a prime location justifies the higher price point compared to the new build projects in Torre del Mar, Mijas, and Estepona.
