Patio Alcornocal is tucked away between the Benavista commercial area and the private villas and so it enjoys a relaxing atmosphere while being located close to shops, restaurants and bars.

Properties on both of these developments enjoy privileged locations on the beachside of the main road that runs along the Costa del Sol. In addition, this area has extraordinarily large communal areas for the Costa del Sol – Dos Hermanas has a huge green area protected by the town council which residents can admire from their homes or use for sunbathing and relaxation while the whole area of Benamara is surrounded by pine trees which are protected in this area. These spacious communal areas result in fewer properties in each area and therefore more outdoor space for residents and visitors to enjoy!

El Presidente is one of the most well known developments in this area. Located on the beachside of the main road, it has beautiful gardens inspired by the Alhambra in Granada with waterways, fountains and pathways leading down to the beach. Home to some very luxurious apartments, El Presidente has offerings to suit all budgets and tastes. It covers a large area and boasts five outdoor swimming pools, one of which is heated, as well as tennis courts for residents to enjoy.

Hacienda del Sol is a newer development which has been built along side El Presidente.
