Although specific finishing materials will be chosen by the future builder, the direct beachfront location provides a context for high-quality architecture and finishes to complement the surroundings. The southern orientation is favourable for the design of living spaces and terraces.
This plot in Costalita is offered at €949,000. It is a 550 m² building plot. The price reflects the prime coastal location and the potential for new construction. The specific building regulations limit the maximum buildable area to 197 m², with a maximum height of two floors.

This plot in Costalita, with a asking price of €949,000, positions itself in the upper segment for building plots on the Costa del Sol, primarily due to its direct beachfront location. Compared to other available building plots, which are often further from the coastline or in less developed areas, this location offers a premium opportunity. Projects like Acqua Gardens and Aby Upper in Estepona, with prices starting from €418,800 and €320,000 respectively, focus on apartment complexes or smaller homes, and do not offer the possibility to build an individual home directly on the beach on private land. Alba Benalmadena, priced from €699,000, is also a residential project, but the specific nature of a building plot with direct sea access makes this offering distinctive. The building possibilities, limited to 197 m² on 550 m², dictate a focus on exclusivity and high-quality finishes, which justifies the price compared to larger, less centrally located plots. The urban environment with amenities within walking distance adds an extra layer of convenience, increasing the investment value compared to more remote locations.
