Regional Comparison

Compared to other projects in Benalmádena, such as Marina Golden Bay (from €1,038,000), Macan Beach Residences (from €1,040,000), and Casatalaya (from €900,000), this detached villa is positioned in a comparable price segment. The offered 'from' price of €1,250,000 includes the large 1342 m² plot and the potential for redevelopment, which can be a differentiating factor compared to apartment complexes or smaller plots. While direct competition in Benalmádena often consists of new build apartments or smaller villas, this property offers the opportunity to create a larger, bespoke villa. The urban location with amenities within walking distance is typical for Benalmádena, but the size of this particular plot is relatively generous for this type of location. This makes it an interesting option for buyers seeking more land and potential than is typically available in this popular coastal area.
