This property is a renovated detached villa located on the coastline of Costalita, within the municipality of Estepona (Málaga). With a living area of 600 m² and a plot size of 1,447 m², the residence accommodates five bedrooms and five bathrooms. Its location is characteristic of the 'New Golden Mile': immediate proximity to the beaches of Playa del Sol Villacana and Playa del Saladillo, within less than 500 meters. The property distinguishes itself through a combination of urban amenities within walking distance and the presence of both an indoor heated pool and an outdoor pool.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The villa is situated in Costalita, a residential neighborhood along the coastal road between Estepona and Marbella. The location is characterized by direct access to the coastline and integration into an existing urban fabric. Amenities such as supermarkets and dining options are accessible within a 300-meter radius. The terrain is flat, with a moderate slope of 3.3% towards the sea, which promotes walkability to the beach.
The home meets the demand for space and privacy, featuring five bedrooms across two floors. The layout includes a living room with a fireplace and a large kitchen, designed for family living or multiple groups. The presence of a master bedroom with a walk-in closet and ensuite shower facilitates a main owner's suite. Parking is managed internally on the property, providing space for three vehicles.
While the original construction date is not specified in the data, the villa underwent a complete renovation several years ago. During this renovation, an indoor pool with a heating system was added. The condition of the property corresponds to a recently modernized home, with updates to kitchen and sanitary fixtures as well as technical installations brought up to modern standards.
The project is located in an urban environment, meaning the absolute silence of an isolated rural location is not present here. The coastal highway N-340/A-7 is nearby, which may result in traffic-related noise. For buyers seeking an apartment with communal facilities and an elevator, this detached villa presents a different maintenance profile requiring individual responsibility for the exterior.
Acquiring a home in this segment typically appeals to households requiring extensive sleeping capacity and living space. The location suits families who prefer walking distance to the beach and basic schools but desire the privacy of a detached dwelling. The presence of three golf courses within less than 2.5 km makes the property relevant for residents who structure their lifestyle largely around this sport. It is also suitable for families seeking a main residence in the Málaga region with the flexibility of guest accommodation on the ground or first floor.
The finishing of the villa is characterized by modern comfort and materials focused on durability. The kitchen features a contemporary design, as do the bathroom suites. Specific mention goes to the master bedroom, equipped with high ceilings contributing to a sense of space, and a glass-enclosed shower. The technical installation includes a heated indoor pool, indicating climate control capabilities. The plot is landscaped with a garden and a large outdoor pool, with exterior finishes tailored to the Mediterranean climate emphasizing outdoor living.
The asking price is set at €3,500,000. Compared to concurrent offerings in broader regions like Mijas and Fuengirola, where developer home prices start from €364,000, this object positions itself in the higher segment of the market. The pricing reflects the combination of plot size (1447 m²), direct seafront location, and extensive living area. Variation in this segment typically depends on the precise finish and degree of sea view.
Costalita presents itself as a residential area for permanent living and extended vacations, centering on the coastline. The daily reality involves a walk of a few minutes to the sea, enabled by the short distance (397 m) and minimal elevation changes. The proximity to El Coto de la Serena and Flamingos Golf (both approx. 1.9 km) offers a recreational counterpoint for residents wishing to be active in sports. The neighborhood has a local amenity level that allows for basic groceries and dining within walking distance, reducing car dependency. The presence of a heated indoor pool extends the swimming recreation season into the cooler months.
The living environment in Costalita is dynamic and focused on coastal recreation. With a historical average of 3,848 sunshine hours per year and a four-month swimming season, outdoor life is central. The district has an urban character with a density of amenities: within 2 kilometers, there are 50 restaurants and 21 cafés. This offers a diversity of dining ranging from daily fare to upscale dining. The presence of 18 pharmacies and 4 banks in the immediate vicinity supports the convenience of daily life. The proximity to airports (Málaga AGP at 43 km and Gibraltar GIB at 36 km) facilitates international mobility for residents and visitors.
The map displays the location of the villa on the coastline of Costalita. The immediate vicinity is characterized by the presence of several golf courses (El Coto, Flamingos) and the direct proximity to the beaches Playa del Sol Villacana and Playa del Saladillo. The distance to Málaga airport is approximately 43 kilometers.
Costalita is situated in the western part of the Costa del Sol, strategically between the larger cities of Estepona and Marbella. This position offers a balance: the vibrancy of Marbella and Puerto Banús is within 15 minutes reach, while Estepona provides daily necessities. The region is known as the 'New Golden Mile,' an area developed from a purely holiday destination to a zone for permanent residence by international residents. The proximity to Gibraltar (36 km) offers additional facilities for shopping and travel.
Access to the villa is via the coastal road. The nearest supermarket is at 213 meters, representing a walk of less than 3 minutes. Public transport is available with 8 lines and 50 stops in the area, although orientation in this region remains strongly car-dependent. For beach lovers, Playa del Sol Villacana at 397 m is the most direct access point. Care facilities, such as the hospital, are 3.4 km away. Golf opportunities are abundantly represented with Club de Golf El Coto de la Serena, Flamingos Golf, and El Paraíso Golf Club all within 2.2 km reach.

Compared to projects in Mijas (Arosa, from €490,000) and Fuengirola (Waterfall Residences, from €720,000), this villa in Costalita represents a distinctly different market segment. While the mentioned projects in eastern municipalities often involve apartments or townhouses with communal facilities, this object in Costalita offers a detached villa with its own plot and private garden. The price of €3,500,000 reflects not only the property type but also the location in the more exclusive 'New Golden Mile.' Whereas one is closer to urban clusters in Fuengirola and Mijas, Costalita offers a lower population density immediately surrounding the home, with direct access to both beach and golf without the need for a car. This makes the object particularly interesting for buyers prioritizing privacy and space over the typical 'apartamento' lifestyle.
