Its location just 10 km from Málaga Airport makes it suitable for international buyers who travel frequently or receive guests. The fact that the villa dates back to 1970 may appeal to those looking for a home with character or who are willing to undertake renovations to modernize it to their taste. It features a private swimming pool and terrace, contributing to Mediterranean living comfort. This offers the opportunity to buy without the uncertainties of a new construction project, but with the security of a mature residential environment.

Regional Comparison

Benalmadena Costa positions itself as an established coastal location with a strong urban component and direct access to facilities. 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), the villa in Benalmadena Costa stands out due to its significantly higher price point (€1,250,000) and its status as an individual, already completed villa from 1970, rather than a new development. Proximity to amenities and the beach is comparable to many coastal developments, but the high concentration of restaurants, shops, and public transport options within walking distance is characteristic of more mature urban areas. Málaga Airport at 10 km is a substantial advantage over more remote locations. While new developments often focus on modern architecture and energy efficiency, this existing villa offers space, a larger plot, and the charm of older construction, potentially with renovation potential. The price reflects its scale, location in a centrally located coastal area, and immediate availability, contrasting with the entry-level prices of new build complexes elsewhere.
