The Costa del Sol is enjoying an impressive new era when it comes to prime real estate developments located close to golf courses. Leading the way are apartment complexes being completed in the heart of the “Costa del Golf”.
Leading London Stock Exchange-listed company Taylor Wimpey is developing the Botanic apartment urbanisation near Los Arqueros golf course (in Benahavís municipality) and Horizon Golf next to one La Cala Resort’s three courses (in Mijas municipality). Another hugely attractive real estate development is Las Terrazas de Atalaya, located right beside the course that gives it its name, Atalaya, and marketed by another top company, FM Consulting.
BOTANIC
The Botanic complex comprises 92 three-bedroom apartments – all with south-facing terraces – distributed in four-storey buildings. Prices start from €375,000, and the development represents a continuation of the company’s project at Los Arqueros Golf, one of Taylor Wimpey’s first real estate initiatives in Spain following its purchase of the golf course in 1996.
HORIZON GOLF
Meanwhile, Horizon Golf is the second real estate complex headed by Taylor Wimpey and La Cala Resort. (Miraval was the first, comprising 60 apartments, all of which have now been sold). The new residential development comprises luxury townhouses and spacious apartments and penthouses with expansive terraces. This popular Mijas resort has three courses, a golf academy, a hotel and spa, and other superb sports amenities. Property prices start from €270,000.
LAS TERRAZAS DE ATALAYA
Finally, Las Terrazas de Atalaya comprises 56 two and three-bedroom apartments and penthouses, highlighted by a modern architectural style, spacious terraces and solariums to get the most out of the south and south-east exposure, views of the golf course (and, for some of the properties, sea views), open-style kitchens blending into the lounge-dining area, large picture windows, excellent building features, spectacular gardens, two swimming pools, two pádel tennis courts, and a small social area with a barbecue.
This new residential complex is located next to the golf course in Atalaya Alta, only one kilometre from the beach and main highway, and with easy access to the tollway and airport – which is just 40 minutes away. Situated in Estepona municipality, on the main road in the direction of Benahavís and in a geographical area known commercially as Atalaya Alta, the urbanisation is strategically located near and orientated towards the spectacular Old Course at Atalaya Golf & Country Club. Prices start from €276,000.
