Compared to projects directly on the coastline, such as Acqua Gardens and Aby Upper in Estepona, this apartment in La Mairena offers a significantly different living experience. Estepona, while also a popular destination, is closer to the sea and its associated amenities, which can lead to higher density and more activity. Prices in Estepona vary widely, with starting prices comparable or higher (€320,000 - €418,800). Alba Benalmádena, with a starting price of €699,000, positions itself in a higher segment, possibly with more exclusive amenities or direct beach access. La Mairena distinguishes itself through its elevated location, providing greater tranquility and views, but also necessitates a higher reliance on a car for daily needs. The proximity to golf courses is a strong advantage in La Mairena, more so than in the immediate coastal areas of Estepona. La Mairena's rural character offers a contrast to more urban or tourist-oriented areas, which can be appealing to buyers prioritizing serenity over direct beach access.
