A new residential development of 60 homes is under construction in the town centre of Estepona, on the western Costa del Sol in the province of Málaga. The scheme comprises garden apartments, duplexes and penthouses with two to three bedrooms, built areas from 153 to 305 m² and asking prices ranging from €720,000 to €1,263,000. Completion is indicatively scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2028. The location sits within walking distance of Playa de Estepona and La Rada beach, with shops, schools and healthcare reachable on foot. Shared facilities include a spa, fitness studio, cinema and coworking spaces, with communal, private and indoor pools across the development.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The site lies in an urban setting in central Estepona, roughly 500 metres as the crow flies from Playa de Estepona and about 800 metres from La Rada beach. A supermarket stands within about 100 metres, a pharmacy within 240 metres and a hospital about 1.1 km away. The A-7 and AP-7 corridor towards Marbella and Málaga airport is reachable by car; the airport is 34 km away in a direct line.
The homes are configured with two to three bedrooms and two to three bathrooms, built areas between 153 and 305 m², covered terraces, fitted wardrobes, a lift and underfloor heating with hot and cold air conditioning. Units offer sea, beach, garden, pool or panoramic views depending on position and typology. Private pools are available on selected homes within the development.
Construction is currently under way, with delivery indicatively planned for the fourth quarter of 2028. As completion dates in new-build projects depend on building progress and licensing, this timeframe should be treated as indicative rather than contractual. Buyers purchase off-plan or during construction, meaning payment stages and handover timing are set out in the purchase agreement.
The development offers two to three bedrooms only; no larger family typologies or detached villas are included in this scheme. The project name has not been published in the available data. Garden apartments are ground-floor units, which affects privacy and outlook relative to upper floors. Parking arrangements, storage rooms and exact unit availability are not specified in the available data and require confirmation.
This development suits several recognisable situations. A first is the buyer relocating permanently to the coast who wants an urban base with schools, healthcare and shops within walking distance rather than a car-dependent hillside urbanisation. Estepona has 19 primary schools and 10 secondary schools, which matters for families, and two health centres serve the municipality. A second situation is the second-home buyer seeking a lock-and-leave apartment near the beach: at roughly 500 metres from the sand, the home can be used intensively for weekends and holidays without ongoing maintenance obligations beyond the community fees. A third is the buyer who works remotely for part of the year and values the coworking spaces, indoor pool and fitness facilities within the building, allowing a routine that does not depend on driving. The two to three bedroom configurations and built areas of 153 m² and upwards also accommodate households that need space for visiting family or a dedicated office. Buyers should note what the scheme does not offer: no villas, no four-bedroom family typologies, and a completion date in late 2028, meaning those needing a home within the next year would have to look at completed stock elsewhere. The position in the town centre also implies a more built-up environment than rural or golf-side locations, which suits some buyers and not others. Buyers prioritising maximum plot privacy should compare ground-floor garden apartments carefully against upper-floor units with terraces and views.
The published specification points to a mid-to-upper finishing level for the Costa del Sol new-build market. Climate control combines hot and cold air conditioning with underfloor heating, a combination typically found in higher-tier projects and relevant in a climate with average monthly temperatures of 15–25°C and cool winter evenings. Kitchens and bathrooms in comparable projects at this price level generally include fitted appliances and integrated storage, though exact brands and appliance lists are not specified in the available data and should be confirmed. Fitted wardrobes are included as standard, and each home has a covered terrace, extending usable living space across most of the year. The images show contemporary interiors with double-sink bathrooms, built-in joinery and living rooms oriented towards sea views. The development includes a lift, which matters both for daily convenience and for long-term accessibility. Pools exist in three forms: communal outdoor pools, private pools on selected units, and an indoor pool connected to the spa. The building services go beyond the residential baseline: a fitness studio, cinema and coworking spaces are shared amenities whose maintenance is typically covered by community fees, so buyers should request the projected annual budget. As the project is under construction, finishes shown in renders and show-home imagery are indicative; the contractual specification in the purchase agreement prevails. Structural elements, warranty periods and developer credentials follow Spanish new-build law, which provides statutory guarantees on completion; the developer's identity should be verified during due diligence.
Asking prices for the 60 homes range from €720,000 to €1,263,000, with the variation reflecting typology, floor level, built area and view orientation. Entry-level units correspond to the two-bedroom apartments of about 153 m², while the upper end of the range corresponds to penthouses and larger duplexes of up to 305 m². Because the project is under construction, buyers commit before completion and should verify the specific unit, its included specifications and any optional extras in the purchase documentation. Delivery is indicatively set for the fourth quarter of 2028. Availability of specific typologies changes as sales progress, so current stock should be confirmed with the selling party before any decision is based on the published range.
Daily life at this address is organised around the town rather than around a resort or an isolated urbanisation. The supermarket sits roughly 100 metres from the site, a pharmacy about 240 metres, and the Polideportivo Municipal sports centre around 600 metres. The beach is a walk of a few minutes: Playa de Estepona is some 500 metres away as the crow flies and La Rada about 800 metres. This density of provision means most errands can be done on foot or by bicycle, which is a distinguishing feature compared with developments on the outskirts of town. The rhythm of the area follows the seasons: Estepona is a working municipality of roughly 80,000 inhabitants with schools, health centres and a year-round economy, so the neighbourhood does not empty outside the summer months. At the same time, tourism plays a role, the municipality counts 24 hotels and just under 7,000 beds, so streets near the beachfront are busiest in July and August and considerably calmer from late autumn to spring. Restaurants, cafés, banks and parks are all within a two-kilometre radius in significant numbers. For buyers used to car-dependent locations, the practical change here is that the car becomes optional for daily tasks and is mainly used for regional trips: golf courses lie four to six kilometres away, Marbella 25 kilometres, and Málaga airport about an hour by road. Within the development itself, residents have access to a spa, fitness studio, cinema and coworking spaces, which reduces dependence on external facilities for exercise and work. The indoor pool extends swimming beyond the warm months, complementing the roughly five-month sea season in which water temperatures exceed 20°C.
The immediate surroundings are urban and practical. A supermarket within about 100 metres and a pharmacy within about 240 metres place daily shopping at the doorstep. Healthcare is available at a hospital roughly 1.1 km away and at two health centres in the municipality. Education within two kilometres includes six schools, complemented by 19 primary and 10 secondary schools across Estepona. For leisure, the municipality counts 134 sports facilities, including the Better Bodies gym 300 metres away and two municipal sports centres within 600 metres. Marinas at Puerto Estepona and Puerto Deportivo lie 1.6 to 1.8 km away, offering mooring, dining and waterfront walks. Restaurants, cafés, banks and parks are all present within a two-kilometre radius in substantial numbers. Two viewpoints, Mirador del Carmen at 1.2 km and Mirador Playa del Cristo at 2 km, provide accessible outlooks over the coastline. Public transport consists of 8 lines with 50 stops, which covers local and regional connections, though service frequency is more limited than in larger cities. A car remains useful for regional trips: Marbella is 25 km away in a direct line, Gibraltar airport about 36 km, and Málaga-Costa del Sol airport around 64 km straight-line, reachable by road in roughly an hour depending on traffic. EV charging is available from 1.3 km away, including a fast-charging station at 1.4 km.
The map shows the development's position in central Estepona, a short walk from the beachfront promenade and La Rada beach. Distances shown are straight-line; actual walking routes may be slightly longer. Marbella, Málaga airport and the golf courses west of town provide the regional reference points.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Estepona occupies the western stretch of the Costa del Sol between Marbella, 25 km to the east, and Algeciras, 42 km to the southwest. Málaga, the provincial capital with some 579,000 inhabitants, lies 73 km away. This positions the town closer to the Gibraltar peninsula and the Atlantic-facing coast than most Costa del Sol resorts, while remaining on the Marbella, Málaga corridor. Within the region, Estepona has developed from a fishing and agricultural town into a year-round municipality of about 80,000 inhabitants with a substantial housing market of roughly 3,100 transactions per year. Compared with Marbella's premium beach strip, Estepona offers a working Spanish town centre combined with newer coastal development, which is precisely the character of this project's central location.
Beaches are the strongest accessibility feature: Playa de Estepona at 524 metres, La Rada at 769 metres and Playa del Cristo at 1.6 km, all as the crow flies, with a flat gradient of about 2.4% to the shore, meaning the walk involves no significant incline. Golf is reachable within a short drive: Valle Romano Golf at 4.1 km, Azata Golf at 4.4 to 4.9 km, and Estepona Golf at 6.1 km, all straight-line distances. Málaga-Costa del Sol airport lies about 64 km away in a direct line, with Gibraltar airport as an alternative at roughly 36 km. Supermarkets, pharmacies, a hospital and schools are all within about 1.1 km, making the location functional without a car for most daily needs. Public transport provides 8 lines and 50 stops locally. For drivers, the coastal A-7 motorway and toll AP-7 connect the town westwards towards Algeciras, 42 km away, and eastwards towards Marbella at 25 km and Málaga at 73 km, all straight-line figures.

Estepona records an average annual temperature of 19.2°C, with monthly averages between 15 and 25°C, a pattern that supports outdoor living for most of the year. The sea warms above 20°C for roughly five months, defining the practical swimming season, which the development's indoor pool extends beyond. The town sits at about 19 metres above sea level on the coastal plain, so the terrain towards the beaches is essentially flat, a gradient of around 2.4%, which matters for walking and cycling. Inland, the municipality rises sharply into the Sierra Bermeja, peaking at 1,449 metres at Los Reales, giving the region a dramatic mountain backdrop and hiking terrain within a short drive. The municipality covers 137 km² of fertile valley crossed by small streams. Rainfall is concentrated in the cooler months, while summers are dry and sunny. This combination of low elevation, mild winters and accessible mountains shapes the area's appeal: coastal comfort on a daily basis, with genuine altitude available for cooler-weather excursions without changing region.

The coastline near the development offers several distinct options within two kilometres. Playa de Estepona lies 524 metres away and La Rada, the town's main urban beach, about 769 metres; both function as everyday beaches reachable on foot. Playa del Cristo at 1.6 km and Playa del Angel at 1.7 km add quieter alternatives, with Playa del Cristo known for its sheltered, shallow water. Recreational infrastructure extends beyond the sand: Puerto Estepona and the Puerto Deportivo, 1.6 to 1.8 km away, provide marina facilities and waterfront dining. Golfers can choose among Valle Romano Golf (4.1 km), Azata Golf (4.4 km), Estepona Golf (6.1 km) and the Golf Academy at Albayt Resort (6.2 km), all measured in straight lines. Fitness facilities include the Better Bodies gym 300 metres from the site and two municipal sports centres within 600 metres, part of a wider total of 134 sports facilities in the municipality. Walking routes lead to the Mirador del Carmen viewpoint at 1.2 km and Mirador Playa del Cristo at 2 km, both offering elevated views over the coast.

Within Estepona's new-build supply, this development sits at the upper end of the price spectrum. Comparable projects in the same municipality, Isidora Living Las Mesas, Acqua Gardens and Omnia Estepona, publish starting prices between roughly €509,000 and €525,000, whereas this scheme begins at €720,000. The difference is explained largely by position and specification: central beachside locations within walking distance of the town's amenities command a premium over developments on the town's edges or near the golf courses, and the inclusion of a spa, indoor pool, cinema and coworking spaces is a facilities level that not every competitor matches. Typology also plays a role: with built areas starting at 153 m² and reaching 305 m², the units are larger than the regional two-bedroom norm, pushing the price per square metre comparison closer to parity than the headline figures suggest. Regionally, Estepona as a whole prices below Marbella, 25 km east, while offering a more genuinely Spanish town fabric than some of the resort strips closer to Marbella and Puerto Banús. The town's market registers roughly 3,163 housing transactions per year, indicating an active and liquid market rather than a thin one. For buyers weighing alternatives, the practical comparison is between central convenience at a premium, this development, and more space or lower entry prices further from the coast, such as at the Mesas area west of town. Buyers prioritising golf-front living would look towards Valle Romano or Azata, accepting a 4–5 km drive to the beach that residents here avoid. Delivery timing also differentiates: with completion indicatively in late 2028, this project competes against both off-plan schemes at similar horizons and completed resale stock available immediately.
