This development in Casares introduces the St. Regis brand to the Costa del Sol. It features a collection of 46 residences on a 19,700 sqm plot. The position provides views of the Mediterranean Sea and the surrounding golf courses. Residents have access to extensive amenities, including a spa, multiple pools, and a specific butler service. Handover is scheduled for Q1 2028.
Compared to projects in Mijas (Arosa) or Fuengirola (Waterfall Residences), St. Regis Casares is clearly positioned in the super-luxury segment with a higher price tag (from €2.5M vs €490k-€720k). Where the comparison projects are often part of busier urban or tourist areas, Casares offers more peace and exclusivity. The 'car dependent' status is more pronounced here than in the central coastal towns. The supply in Casares is less focused on holiday rentals and more on capturing a very capital-rich target group that values privacy and facilities (like the butler service) over direct walking distance to a center.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The project is situated in Casares, Málaga, an area characterized by golf courses and the coastline. It lies at approximately 66 meters above sea level. This position combines proximity to the sea with the green environment of the Finca Cortesín golf course. The location is dependent on car transport.
The residences are designed for permanent living or long-term stays, focusing on privacy and service. Layouts range from two to four bedrooms, with areas up to 780 sqm. Amenities such as a private pool (for specific units) and spacious terraces support outdoor living. The presence of a butler service caters to residents who value convenience.
Construction is currently ongoing with indicative completion in Q1 2028. The project features modern architecture with high-end finishes. Materials are chosen to withstand the local climate. Technical installations focus on comfort, including climate control and energy efficiency.
The project is 'car dependent'; private transport is necessary for daily shopping and mobility. The distance to the village of Casares and beaches requires transport. There are no commercial amenities directly on-site. The hillside location may mean some units have significant stairs or slopes.
This project suits buyers seeking a secondary residence with a high level of service and no need for a vibrant town center immediately outside. It is suitable for golfers due to the direct location at Finca Cortesín. For families, the location is livable, but children depend on transport to schools (3 schools in the municipality). If one prefers walking distance to restaurants or shops, this is not the right location. For those considering 'car dependent' status a disadvantage, a location closer to Estepona or Marbella would be more suitable.
The finishing uses materials characteristic of the luxury segment. This includes marble floors, high-quality woods, and custom cabinetry. Kitchens are equipped with professional appliances. Technical installations include air conditioning (hot and cold) and underfloor heating in bathrooms. Attention to detail is evident in the terraces and private pools. The goal is a low-maintenance comfort level.
Prices for the residences start from €2,500,000. This positions the project in the luxury segment. Price variation is determined by the size of the residence (from 101 sqm), the type (apartment, duplex, or penthouse), and the specific location within the development. Buyers should consider additional costs for interior design and service fees for the butler and hotel amenities.
Lifestyle here is defined by tranquility, luxury, and car dependency. Mornings often start with views of the golf course or sea. Given the 3.0 km distance to supermarkets and other amenities, daily car trips are the norm. The St. Regis Butler Service implies that logistical tasks are managed. The immediate environment is green and quiet, with Finca Cortesín Golf Club as the nearest sports facility at 1.1 km. Social life happens on-site or at nearby marinas like Puerto Deportivo de la Duquesa (4.7 km).
The environment is dominated by the golf course and nearby coastline. Casares itself is a white village on the hill, but the project sits lower, towards the coast. The area is rural in nature with scattered luxury urbanizations. Amenities like supermarkets and hospitals are accessible by car at 3.0 km and 3.3 km respectively. The nearest pharmacy is 3.2 km away. Daily life thus requires planning and a car.
The map shows the location between the coastline and the mountain range. The project is visible as an enclave between Finca Cortesín Golf Club and the A-7 motorway. The green environment contrasts with the blue of the Mediterranean Sea.
The location is situated on the western side of the Costa del Sol, near the border of Málaga and Cádiz. It is a quieter area compared to the busier Marbella (east) or Estepona (center). This positioning offers privacy but requires driving to reach the center of Estepona. It is a strategic spot for combining the coast with the hills.
Private transport is essential. The beach at Playa de Casares is 3.1 km away as the crow flies, but the driving distance is longer. Malaga Airport is 29 km away, meaning approximately 25-30 minutes by car depending on traffic. The project is conveniently located near the A-7 motorway, providing access to Marbella and Gibraltar. There are no train stations in the immediate vicinity.

The region has an average annual temperature of 18.6°C with over 3,800 sunshine hours per year. The location at 66 meters altitude provides a light breeze and reduces summer heat. The swimming season lasts approximately 5 months. The location offers protection from northern winds, extending the usability of the terraces.

The nearest beach is Playa de Casares at 3.1 km. There is one Blue Flag beach in the immediate region (Ancha). For water sports and marinas, one can go to Puerto de la Duquesa (4.7 km). The recreational focus of the project itself lies on internal facilities like the spa, gym, and pools. External sports facilities are primarily the golf courses (Finca Cortesín at 1.1 km).
14 Facilities Available
