Hello,

We analyzed 326 new projects in Costa del Sol and selected 24 we would also invest in(we first shortlisted 73, then kept the best 24).

This guide helps you save time and avoid market pitfalls (overpriced areas, shifting rental rules, and too-good-to-be-true renderings).

→ See the list with details in Excel (24 selected + 49 excluded) LINK

What you’ll find in the list:

• Price range: €318,000–€3,350,000
• The selection rationale for each project (brief and to the point)
• Excluded projects with explanations (not necessarily “bad,” just less attractive right now) → Or see the 24 projects with full details on Directimo LINK

Context & zoning (at a glance) We excluded most projects in areas such as Higuerón (rental restrictions), Estepona West (rapid price increases), and New Golden Mile (infrastructure under strain due to accelerated development; lack of amenities, e.g., shops).

Included for “value for money”:

• Las Mesas (Estepona City)
• Mijas Chaparral
• Plus a very pleasant surprise in Benalmádena

Also excellent options in Elviria, including the beachside area, with its excellent microclimate (among the best in Europe?), quality beaches, and chiringuitos open year-round.
