This price difference reflects the location within the established Marbella municipality, which typically commands a premium over the eastern Costa del Sol. Furthermore, Elviria offers a specific concentration of international amenities and golf courses that differentiate it from the more general residential areas of Mijas or Torre del Mar. While the reference projects may offer new-build status, this property provides an immediate, mature garden environment and the transfer of a tourist licence, which adds value for investment purposes. The comparison highlights the cost-benefit analysis between paying a premium for the 'Marbella' address and infrastructure versus opting for lower-priced alternatives further east.
