The Place Alcazaba is a new development situated in Casares, Málaga. Part of the larger Alcazaba Lagoon resort, this phase features 38 apartments ranging from 2 to 4 bedrooms. The location is quiet and rural, located approximately 3.4 to 5 km from the coastline. Construction is ongoing with an expected delivery in Q2 2026. Private transportation is required for daily mobility.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The development is positioned in a rural setting within Casares. The area is characterized by a lagoon and proximity to golf courses. While the coast is nearby (3.4, 5 km), the immediate surroundings are green and spacious, offering a retreat from the busy coastal towns.
The apartments cater to residents seeking space and an outdoor lifestyle. With floor plans up to 122 m² and generous terraces, the units support both full-time residence and vacation living. The extensive facilities, including a lagoon and pools, are designed for active use.
The project is currently under construction with a scheduled completion in Q2 2026. It is part of a master-planned community. This phase, 'The Place', allows residents access to the central amenities of the Alcazaba Lagoon development.
The location is car-dependent; the nearest supermarket is 3.0 km away. There is no direct beach access from the property; a short drive is necessary. The rural setting means that urban entertainment and shopping hubs require travel to nearby towns like Estepona.
This project fits buyers looking for a second home or investment in a secure complex. The extensive lagoon and sports facilities make it suitable for those who prioritize on-site amenities over immediate proximity to a town center. It is less suited for those seeking a walkable urban neighborhood.
Construction follows the Technical Building Code (CTE). Features include reinforced concrete structures, thermal insulation with rock wool, and porcelain cladding in wet areas. Interiors feature fitted kitchens and pre-installed air conditioning systems for climate control.
Prices start from €585,000. This entry price reflects the current market for new builds in this specific resort setting. Variance in price is driven by unit size, specifically the number of bedrooms, and the view orientation.
Living here offers a resort experience centered around water and golf. The 'Place' provides a base for those who enjoy privacy and planned communal activities. The 122 m² living space allows for distinct indoor and outdoor living zones, facilitated by large sliding doors.
The immediate area focuses on leisure. Several golf courses, including Estepona Golf, are within a 2 km radius. The coast, with beaches like Playa del Cristo, is accessible within a short drive. The region enjoys a high number of sunshine hours (3,845) and a mild climate suitable for year-round outdoor activities.
The map shows the project's location inland from the coast. Distances to golf courses and beaches are minimal in terms of kilometers, though travel involves local road networks.
The project is located on the western Costa del Sol, between Estepona and Sotogrande. It belongs administratively to Casares but functions closer to the Estepona coastline. It offers a more secluded alternative to the high-density developments of Marbella.
Access is by road. Málaga Airport is 31 km away (as the crow flies). Gibraltar Airport is also accessible at roughly 30 km. Public transport connections are limited; a car is essential. Beaches are reachable within 10 minutes by car.

Compared to projects in central Estepona, The Place offers a quieter environment. Prices are generally lower than frontline developments in Sotogrande. Compared to other Casares projects like Solemar, this location is more integrated into a resort structure rather than a village setting.
