Compared to projects like Acqua Gardens and Aby Upper in Estepona, which are offered from €320,000 to €418,800, this apartment in Ojén positions itself in a higher price bracket. The starting price of €1,195,000 reflects the exclusive location within the Palo Alto urbanization, the larger living area of 153 m², and the superior specifications in finishes and amenities. Alba Benalmadena, starting at €699,000, also falls into a different price category. This project in Ojén targets a buyer profile willing to invest more for luxury, space, privacy, and a specific lifestyle in the quieter hinterland of Marbella, rather than directly on the busier coastlines of Estepona or Benalmádena. The emphasis here is on the combination of nature, views, and high-quality communal facilities, which serves as a distinguishing factor compared to projects closer to the coastline that are more focused on direct beach access and urban entertainment.
