Case studies

At the beginning of 2024, a private investor from Szczecin (Poland), Mr. Marcin, decided to invest in the modern Serene Atalaya development. The project attracted him not only with its high standard but, above all, with its strategic location – one of the most desirable on the Costa del Sol. Location is typically the key factor influencing our clients’ purchasing decisions. Serene Atalaya is situated in the heart of the so-called New Golden Mile – between Marbella and Estepona – providing quick access to two of the most important destinations in the region. In addition, the immediate surroundings include: • Benahavís (a prestigious, green area known for luxury villas and fine dining), • San Pedro de Alcántara (a rapidly developing part of Marbella with full urban infrastructure). It is the perfect combination of tranquility, nature, and access to city life. For Mr. Marcin, another important factor was the proximity to Atalaya International School – one of the most highly regarded international schools in the region. This is a significant advantage for families planning relocation or longer stays, ensuring high-quality education for children without long commutes. Serene Atalaya is also surrounded by some of the best golf courses on the Costa del Sol. For many buyers, this is not only a lifestyle benefit but also a factor that enhances the investment value. The proximity to nature, beautiful views, and the intimate character of the area make it an ideal place both for living and relaxation. The investor chose Serene Atalaya because the development combines several key elements: ✔ an excellent location between the region’s top destinations ✔ high quality of life and a მშვიდ environment ✔ access to education and infrastructure ✔ strong potential for property value growth This was not a random purchase – it was a well-thought-out decision based on long-term value appreciation. In March 2024, Mr. Marcin purchased the property for €630,000 + VAT. In February 2026, the investor received the keys to the house along with an updated valuation (the property was appraised at €825,000). The property was immediately listed for sale, and a new buyer purchased the house for €890,000.

Two- and three-bedroom apartments located in the Atalaya area (situated on the border of Estepona, Benahavís, and San Pedro Alcántara) were launched for sale in 2018 at prices that typically started below €400,000–€500,000, depending on whether they were ground-floor units, middle-floor apartments, or penthouses. Clients from the Tricity area (Gdańsk, Gdynia, and Sopot) decided to purchase a penthouse off plan. After several years, in 2025, they chose to sell the apartment in order to buy a house for themselves in the same area. Due to strong demand and the attractive location, prices in the Cataleya development have increased significantly since its original launch. The penthouse was ultimately sold for €1,250,000. What indicated the investment potential and why did we recommend this development to our clients? • Location – in the prestigious and rapidly developing area known as Nueva Milla de Oro, combining the comfort of Marbella with the charm of Estepona. • Proximity to the renowned Atalaya school – perfect for families seeking top-quality education for their children. • Modern design and aesthetic appeal – attractive for buyers looking for a stylish and luxurious environment. • Hillside positioning with views – offers beautiful panoramas and a sense of privacy. • Access to sports and recreation – golf courses (Paraíso Golf Club, Atalaya Golf Club), tennis courts, and the Bel-Air padel club. • Unique community concept – a gated, intimate development designed to resemble a small Andalusian town. • Amenities – swimming pools, playground, gym, sauna and co-working space.

The apartment is located in a charming Andalusian-style residential complex. The property was purchased by a couple from Warsaw who spend half of the year on the Costa del Sol (from November to April). During the remaining months, the apartment is rented out, either on a short-term or long-term basis. What, in our view, indicated the investment potential? Why did we recommend this investment to our clients? • Location – situated between Marbella and Estepona, in one of the most sought-after and prestigious areas. • Positioning – on a hill offering beautiful panoramic views. • Proximity to popular international schools (Atalaya, Laude, Atlas) – an ideal community for families with children. • Close to stunning golf courses (Paraíso Golf Club, Atalaya Golf Club) – perfect for golf enthusiasts. • Near tennis courts and the Bel-Air padel club – excellent for fans of padel or tennis. • Unique concept – a gated community designed to resemble a small Andalusian town. • Infrastructure – beautiful swimming pools, a playground, gym, sauna, co-working space, and an on-site restaurant.

A house located in an intimate residential complex in one of the most prestigious areas – El Paraíso Alto. The property was purchased by a family from London with the aim of combining the comfort of a private residence with its investment potential. The house served as a personal holiday home and, during the owners’ absences, as an attractive short-term rental option.
