High quality urbanisation with luxury villas. All services are in place to start building as soon as the license is granted The Atlas American School of Malaga, situated next to the Russian Orthodox Church, is going from strength to strength. It has a capacity of 700 students and is accelerating demand for high quality real estate in the area. Our immediate neighbours, the large national developer, Aedas are constructing a large number of luxury apartments at a rapid pace.

One of their brands, Libella is selling in the range of 660,000 to 1,300,000. Another, Australy Aures, is about to be marketed as a top end luxury development of apartments and is likely to be significantly higher in price. Construction has started of more luxury apartments by leading national developers, Azata. This is in addition to the extremely successful Vanian Gardens, located directly behind Atlas American School of Malaga.

Vanian Hills, with its panoramic sea views and high quality, is also in construction. We understand that all of the developments are selling strongly and many are sold out. All together there are more than 15 cranes operating in the area and more to come shortly. Hospiten, our local private hospital, is expanding by doubling it s size. There is provision for a small shopping centre opposite the entrance to Selwo, which is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year.

No date has yet been announced for this. Starlite Music World will be built to the west of the Russian Orthodox Church. Apart from an auditorium, there will be a hotel of 200 rooms as well as recording studios, film facilities, restaurants and a lake. This is reported to have a development cost of 286 million. The total investment in the immediate area exceeds 700 million. A new paddle tennis club is under construction, consisting of 11 courts as well as a spa and restaurant. The area is already well served by great up-market restaurants and beach bars such as Bossa and Sonora Beach, supermarkets such as Mercadona, Aldi, Lidl and Carrefour and several petrol stations. La Resina is a consolidated area. While we enjoy all of these benefits we still retain our rural atmosphere.
