Buying a property in Benalmádena: Get to know the housing market

Are you considering buying a property in Benalmádena? Then you have come to the right place!

Benalmádena is one of Mojo’s favourite areas on the Costa del Sol. It is a diverse housing market with something for every taste. Benalmádena is divided into three main urban areas: Benalmádena Costa, Benalmádena Pueblo and Arroyo de la Miel.

The Mojo team has explored Benalmádena inside out since Mojo Estates started buying, renovating, and selling properties in the municipality in 2017. We have gone to great lengths to show you the area from the sea, the sky, and everything in between.

In the video below, you will see one of the many fantastic properties in Benalmádena, as Flora de Jong is giving Jacob a tour of a villa in the exclusive urbanisation called Casablanca.

Casablanca in Benalmádena

Casablanca is located just below Benalmádena Pueblo. It is a highly sought-after area for buying properties because of the beautiful views and within walking distance of both beaches and the cosy restaurants and bars that Benalmádena Pueblo is renowned for. Casablanca also has the advantage that Torremuelle train station is near.

In the video with Jacob, you see a typical example of an Andalusian-style villa from 2006 with a private pool, terraces, a fireplace, big rooms, and of course, an excellent sea view. The property is 400 square metres built, 96 square metres of terraces and the entire plot is 1000 square metres.

This is just one property out of the many that regularly come on the market in Casablanca in Benalmádena. There are also some new-built properties in Casablanca that are worth keeping an eye on.
