Regional Comparison

Compared to developments directly on the coast, such as Acqua Gardens or Aby Upper in Estepona, which offer prices starting from €320,000 - €418,800 and are closer to the sea, this Atalaya project is positioned inland and commands a higher price point, ranging from €800,000 to €950,000. This reflects a different lifestyle offering, one focused on tranquillity and golf, rather than immediate beach access. Alba Benalmadena, priced from €598,000, represents a mid-range option in a different coastal town. The Atalaya villas, with their higher elevation and distance from the immediate coastline, cater to a specific buyer profile seeking a quieter environment, potentially valuing the expansive views and the serene atmosphere over the convenience of being directly by the sea. The substantial difference in price and location signifies distinct market segments within the Costa del Sol.
