This three-bedroom ground-floor apartment forms part of Velaya, a frontline beach complex on the western edge of Estepona, completed in 2023. The home offers 135 m2 of living space with two bathrooms, a private garden terrace accessed from the principal suite, and an open-plan kitchen by Gaggenau. The asking price is 1,850,000 euro as a fixed amount. The residence includes underfloor heating, air conditioning, two underground parking spaces and a storeroom, within a gated community with 24-hour security and extensive shared facilities.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The apartment sits directly on the seafront at Estepona, with Playa de Estepona roughly 524 metres away as the crow flies and La Rada under one kilometre. A supermarket lies about 104 metres from the complex and a pharmacy 237 metres, so daily shopping is done on foot. The town centre, port and marina are within walking distance along the coastal promenade, while the airport is 34 kilometres straight-line.
The layout serves three bedrooms and two bathrooms across 135 m2, with an open-plan living area, a kitchen island and a separate laundry room. The ground-floor position gives direct access to a private garden terrace facing south towards the sea. Underfloor heating, hot and cold air conditioning, electric blinds and two underground parking spaces cover year-round comfort and practical storage needs for permanent or seasonal residence.
Construction was completed in 2023 and the apartment is key-ready. The vendor indicates availability from 1 September 2026 to 30 June 2027, which frames the transfer window; completion dates in Spain are always indicative and buyers should confirm exact handover terms in the purchase process. As recent construction, installations and finishes reflect current building standards rather than those of older coastal stock.
The property is an apartment within a communal development, so outdoor space is limited to the private terrace and garden rather than an individual plot. There is no private pool; swimming facilities are shared with other residents. Views and orientation depend on the ground-floor position, and the listing states a fixed asking price of 1,850,000 euro rather than a phased price list, so negotiation scope may differ from off-plan purchases.
This home fits buyers who want direct beach access without maintaining a private pool or a large plot. It suits a couple or family seeking a permanent coastal residence with three bedrooms, two bathrooms and level access to town amenities, as well as purchasers of a second home who value a managed community with 24-hour security during absences. The ground-floor terrace layout works well for those who prefer stepping straight into a garden over panoramic elevation. Buyers who entertain will find the open-plan kitchen and island, plus the communal outdoor kitchen and barbecue area, aligned with that use. The two parking spaces and storeroom matter to households with two cars or substantial equipment. It is less suited to those wanting a detached villa with private pool, significant land, or an off-plan payment structure. Buyers prioritising golf-course living should note the nearest courses lie four to five kilometres inland, so this is a beach-led rather than golf-led location. Finally, the availability window from September 2026 means it does not suit anyone needing occupancy before that date.
The interior specification points to the upper segment of the Estepona market. The kitchen is fitted with Gaggenau appliances and a generous island, a brand typically found in higher-end residential projects. The principal suite includes a dressing area and an ensuite bathroom with a freestanding bath and walk-in shower; a second bedroom has its own ensuite, and the third is served by the family bathroom. Climate systems are comprehensive for the region: underfloor heating, air conditioning with hot and cold function, and electric blinds throughout, which together cover the temperature range of the Costa del Sol from winter nights to August afternoons. The building was completed in 2023, so the installation base reflects recent technical standards. Practical infrastructure is well resolved: a separate laundry room, two underground parking spaces and a secure storeroom. The condition is listed as new construction and excellent. The community adds a heated outdoor infinity pool, a children's pool, jacuzzis, tennis and padel courts, a fully equipped gym, a children's play area and an outdoor kitchen with barbecue, all within a gated complex under 24-hour security. Buyers should nonetheless commission an independent technical review in the usual manner for any completed property, as this text reports the listing data rather than a survey.
The asking price is a fixed 1,850,000 euro for the complete package: the 135 m2 apartment, the private garden terrace, two underground parking spaces and a storeroom. This is a completed, key-ready home rather than an off-plan unit, so the price reflects delivered construction and installed finishes such as the Gaggenau kitchen, underfloor heating and ensuite bathrooms. The seller indicates availability between 1 September 2026 and 30 June 2027; buyers should treat this window as indicative and verify exact handover conditions. Compared with new-build projects in Estepona currently marketing from roughly 1.3 to 1.4 million euro, the fixed price here corresponds to a frontline position with completed infrastructure and immediate inspection possibilities.
Daily life here is organised around the seafront. The apartment opens onto its garden terrace at ground level, a few steps from the communal pools and the promenade that runs towards Estepona town. Mornings can start with a swim before the heat builds, followed by a walk to the supermarket 104 metres away or the pharmacy 237 metres along the street. The principal suite connects directly to the terrace, so the sound of the sea is part of the routine rather than an occasional excursion. The open-plan kitchen with its island anchors the living area, and the separate laundry room keeps household work out of sight. Underfloor heating and air conditioning mean the home stays usable through Andalusian summers and the cooler months alike. Two underground parking spaces remove the seasonal parking pressure common in beachside towns, and the storeroom absorbs bicycles, beach gear and luggage. The community facilities support an active routine without leaving the grounds: a heated infinity pool, a children's pool, jacuzzis, tennis and padel courts, a gym and an outdoor kitchen with barbecue. Beyond the gates, some 50 restaurants within two kilometres, cafes and the coastal path towards the marina provide the evening options, and 24-hour security regulates access to the complex.
The immediate surroundings are urban and well serviced. A supermarket 104 metres away and a pharmacy 237 metres away make daily errands a matter of minutes on foot, and the data indicates around 50 restaurants, 22 cafes, 18 pharmacies and 4 banks within a two-kilometre radius. Healthcare is close at hand, with a hospital 1.1 kilometres away and two health centres in the municipality. For families, six schools sit within two kilometres, and the wider municipality counts 19 primary and 10 secondary schools. Sports options are dense: Better Bodies gym at 300 metres, the municipal sports centre at 600 metres and 134 sports facilities across the municipality, plus the tennis and padel courts inside the complex. The coastal promenade connects the residence on foot or by bicycle to Estepona's centre, Puerto Estepona at 1.6 kilometres and the marina at 1.8 kilometres. Electric-vehicle owners can charge 1.3 to 1.4 kilometres away. The area is busy in summer given the beachfront position, and quieter outside the tourist season, when the permanent population of around 79,600 keeps shops and restaurants open year-round.

Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Estepona occupies the western Costa del Sol, 25 kilometres from Marbella and 73 kilometres from Málaga city, with Algeciras 42 kilometres to the west and Gibraltar around 36 kilometres south. This positions the town as a more relaxed alternative to the Marbella-centre market while remaining on the same coastal corridor. The municipality combines a substantial permanent population of about 79,600 with a developed tourism base of 24 hotels and nearly 6,900 beds, which sustains year-round services that smaller resorts lack. Housing turnover of roughly 3,163 transactions a year indicates an active resale and new-build market. Within this setting, a frontline position west of the centre, close to the port and the Kempinski corridor, sits at the established premium end of local supply.
Distances below are straight-line, as the crow flies, and road distances can be longer. Three beaches lie within reach: Playa de Estepona at 524 metres, La Rada at 769 metres and Playa del Cristo at 1.6 kilometres. Malaga-Costa del Sol airport is about 64 kilometres straight-line, roughly an hour by car along the A-7/AP-7, while Gibraltar airport is nearer at around 36 kilometres. Marbella lies 25 kilometres along the coast and Málaga city 73 kilometres. Golfers reach Valle Romano at 4.1 kilometres and Azata Golf between 4.4 and 4.9 kilometres. Public transport consists of 8 lines with 50 stops in the municipality, covering local and regional connections. That said, a car remains the practical choice for airport transfers, Marbella and inland trips, and the two underground parking spaces accommodate that need. Within the town itself, most daily destinations are walkable or cyclable.

Estepona records an average annual temperature of 19.2 degrees, with monthly averages between 15 and 25 degrees, which supports outdoor living for most of the year. The swimming season extends to about five months with sea temperatures of 20 degrees or above, roughly May to October. The municipality sits at low elevation near the coast, here around 19 metres above sea level, and the gradient to the beach is a flat 2.4 per cent, so the walk to the sea involves no climb. Inland, the terrain rises sharply into the Sierra Bermeja, whose peak of Los Reales reaches 1,449 metres, giving the backdrop visible from the coast and offering hiking terrain within a short drive. The municipality covers 137 square kilometres of fertile valley crossed by small streams. Rainfall concentrates in the cooler months, leaving long dry summers that match the beachfront orientation of this home.

The beach is the primary recreational asset. Playa de Estepona is 524 metres away, La Rada 769 metres and Playa del Cristo 1.6 kilometres, with Playa del Angel at 1.7 kilometres; the Velerin beach restaurant sits a short walk from the complex according to the listing. The marina area, 1.6 to 1.8 kilometres west, adds waterfront dining and boat-related activity. Golf is a short drive inland: Valle Romano at 4.1 kilometres, Azata Golf around 4.4 to 4.9 kilometres and Estepona Golf at 6.1 kilometres, with a golf academy at 6.2 kilometres. On-site recreation includes the heated infinity pool, children's pool, jacuzzis, tennis and padel courts, gym and outdoor kitchen. viewpoints such as Mirador del Carmen at 1.2 kilometres and Mirador Playa del Cristo at 2 kilometres give elevated coastal panoramas, and the flat promenade suits walking and cycling year-round.

Within Estepona, current new-build marketing prices give a useful benchmark. Sakura lists from 1,400,000 euro, Swing and Sea Villas from 1,312,500 euro and Balcon del Mediterraneo from 1,442,000 euro. At a fixed 1,850,000 euro for 135 m2, this completed apartment sits above those entry points, a premium consistent with three factors visible in the data: a frontline beach position rather than a set-back or hillside plot, a delivered 2023 build with installed high-grade finishes such as the Gaggenau kitchen and underfloor heating, and the inclusion of two parking spaces plus a storeroom in the price. Off-plan buyers at the comparable projects accept delivery risk and phased payments; here the construction risk has already been retired and the home can be inspected before purchase. Regionally, Estepona trades below central Marbella for equivalent frontline product while sharing the same coastal corridor, and the town's permanent population of nearly 80,000, 19 primary schools and two health centres support year-round living in a way that smaller resort settlements do not. The flat, walkable setting contrasts with the hillside developments above the coast, where views are broader but daily errands require a car. Against that backdrop, the price reflects location and completeness rather than land or private-pool attributes, which buyers comparing villas at similar budgets elsewhere in Estepona will want to weigh.
