Regional Comparison

Compared to other properties in Fuengirola, this villa is positioned in the upper-mid price range at €795,000, above developments like Horizon36 (from €699,000), Higuerón Bay Residences (from €567,000), and Lomas Distinctive (from €590,000). This price premium reflects the property's detached status, larger living space (199 m²), and premium features including the rooftop plunge pool and separate apartment. Unlike many newer developments that may form part of larger communities with shared facilities, this villa offers private amenities within an established urban setting. Its central location provides more immediate access to Fuengirola's services compared to more peripheral developments, though it lacks the exclusivity and often larger plot sizes of properties in elevated areas such as Mijas or Benahavís. The combination of urban convenience and private outdoor spaces positions this property between standard apartments in the area and more exclusive villas in surrounding hillside locations, offering a balance of accessibility and private amenity at a moderate price point for the Costa del Sol property market.
