Located at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in El Candado, Málaga, this detached villa offers exceptional privacy and some of the most impressive panoramic views of the Mediterranean Sea and the city. The property is intelligently designed to follow the natural slope of the land, distributed over multiple levels. With amenities within walking distance and a short distance to the airport, this residence combines the tranquility of an exclusive residential area with the convenience of urban proximity.
Compared to other Costa del Sol projects like Acqua Gardens and Aby Upper in Estepona, priced from €418,800 and €320,000 respectively, this villa in El Candado is positioned in a higher market segment with an asking price of €1,100,000. This higher price point is justified by the villa's scale (371 m² living area, 7 bedrooms) and its exclusive location offering panoramic sea views, which is distinct from the more standard apartments or villas in the mentioned Estepona projects. Alba Benalmadena, starting from €699,000, offers a mid-range option, but the El Candado villa stands out due to its size and specific location features near Málaga city. Its emphasis on privacy, the presence of a guest apartment with a rental license, and direct access to urban amenities combined with coastal proximity differentiates it from new developments often geared towards mass tourism.
