Regional Comparison

Compared to the suggested comparable projects such as Aquamar in Torre del Mar (from €219,950), Lantana Residencial in Mijas (from €205,000), and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona (from €259,000), this villa in El Faro positions itself in a higher price bracket, starting at €720,000. This higher price point reflects its prime beachfront location and its status as a detached villa on its own plot, unlike the apartment complexes in Torre del Mar and Mijas.
