This completed two-bedroom penthouse forms part of the Célere Sea Views development in Estepona, a town of roughly 79,600 residents on the western Costa del Sol in the province of Málaga. The property offers 82 m² of living space with two bathrooms, a private parking space and a storage room. The building was completed in 2024 (indicative), which means buyers acquire a finished home without construction risk. The location combines walking-distance access to the beach with urban amenities: a supermarket at approximately 100 metres, a pharmacy within 250 metres and Estepona's main beaches between 500 and 800 metres away. Short-term rental is permitted within the community, which is a documented and relevant factor for purchase considerations.
Within Estepona's new-build supply, this penthouse sits at the upper end of the documented price range. Anna de Estepona enters the market from €450,000, Isidora Living Las Mesas from €519,000, and Acqua Gardens from €524,600. At €640,000 for 82 m², the property carries a premium of roughly €120,000 to €190,000 over the entry prices of these comparables, and a per-square-metre figure in the region of €7,800. Three factors explain part of this differential. First, typology: a penthouse with panoramic sea views and no upper neighbours commands a structural premium over mid-floor apartments of equivalent surface area. Second, status: the unit is completed, which removes off-plan delivery risk and allows physical inspection of finishes, a Bosch-equipped kitchen, stainless-steel appliances and delivered interiors, before contract. Third, position: the documented amenity distances (supermarket 104 m, pharmacy 237 m, beach 524 m) indicate a genuinely walkable urban location, whereas several comparable developments sit in peripheral urbanisations such as the Las Mesas area, where daily errands typically involve driving. Buyers weighing this property against the comparables are therefore effectively choosing between price per square metre on the one hand and a combination of level, view and walkability on the other. It is also worth noting the rental dimension: Estepona recorded 3,163 property transactions in the reference period and hosts 24 hotels with about 6,900 beds, and this community permits short-term letting, a combination not uniformly available across developments in the municipality, since many communities restrict such use. Regionally, Estepona trades at lower prices per square metre than central Marbella, 25 km east, while offering a fuller year-round town fabric than the resort zones west towards Sotogrande.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The property sits in an urban part of Estepona, roughly 500-800 metres from Playa de Estepona and La Rada beach. The terrain towards the coast is essentially flat (slope of about 2.4%). Shops, pharmacies and restaurants are reachable on foot or by bicycle. Marbella lies 25 km to the east, Málaga city 73 km northeast, and the nearest airports are Gibraltar at approximately 36 km and Málaga-Costa del Sol at about 64 km straight-line.
The dwelling is configured as a two-bedroom, two-bathroom penthouse of 82 m² with an open-plan living area that connects to a terrace. This layout functions as a permanent residence for one or two people, a shared second home, or a rental unit given the community's permission for short-term letting. A private parking space and storage room are included. The compact surface area limits use by larger households.
The construction phase is completed; delivery is listed as 2024 (indicative). Buyers therefore purchase an existing, finished unit: finishes and installations can be inspected physically before purchase, and there is no dependence on a developer's construction schedule. The photos show a delivered state, including a fitted kitchen with appliances and an enclosed parking space. Warranty terms applicable to recently completed Spanish buildings may apply.
The property does not offer a private garden, private pool or ground-floor access; it is an apartment within a shared residential community. With 82 m² and two bedrooms, it does not accommodate large families or home-office-intensive households without compromise. There is no large plot of land. Golf courses are 4-6 km away, so they require a car. These are documented limitations derived from the property data.
This property fits several recognisable situations. The first is a couple or individual seeking a permanent residence on the Costa del Sol where daily life does not revolve around a car: the documented amenity density, supermarket at 100 metres, pharmacy at 237 metres, beaches under a kilometre, supports year-round living without sustained vehicle dependency. The second is a buyer of a second home who wants a finished, low-maintenance unit that can be locked up for months, with a terrace rather than a garden to maintain. The third is an investor: short-term rental is permitted in the community, and Estepona records 3,163 property transactions and a tourism base of 24 hotels with roughly 6,900 beds, indicating sustained seasonal demand for accommodation. In each of these cases, the completed status matters: the purchase decision can be based on inspection rather than plans and delivery schedules. The property fits less well where the requirement is a large family home, a private pool or plot, or accommodation for more than four people; at 82 m² with two bedrooms, the layout sets that boundary. Buyers prioritising golf-course proximity should also note that the nearest courses lie 4-6 km away, which involves short drives. The profile is therefore urban-coastal: walkable, compact, finished, with the sea as the primary orientation rather than golf, countryside or a gated resort environment.
The photographic record shows a delivered interior in a modern specification. The kitchen is fitted with stainless-steel appliances and a Bosch refrigerator, which places the equipment at a recognisable mid-to-upper brand level rather than developer-basic white goods. The open-plan configuration combines the kitchen, dining and living zones into one space, with sliding doors giving access to the terrace; this is the standard contemporary Costa del Sol layout and affects both daylight distribution and cross-ventilation. The penthouse position means no neighbours above, which has acoustic implications: footstep noise from upper floors is absent, though roof-level exposure to sun and wind increases, making terrace shading and the quality of the terrace glazing relevant points for inspection. The unit includes a private parking space with doors and a separate storage room, both documented in the imagery. As a 2024-completed building, the construction falls under current Spanish technical building code requirements, including thermal insulation standards and, in practice, aerothermal or equivalent hot-water systems commonly used in recent Andalusian residential developments. Buyers should verify the specific energy certificate and the community's equipment list (lift, communal pool where applicable, and the electric-vehicle charging arrangement; the nearest public charger is 1.3 km away). Because the building is finished, all of these elements can be verified directly on a viewing, which materially reduces the uncertainty that applies to off-plan purchases. Warranty cover under Spanish law (LOE ten-year liability for structural elements, three-year cover for installation defects) typically applies to recently completed builds, and confirmation of the delivery date documentation is advisable.
The property is listed at €640,000. This positions it above comparable new-build projects in the same municipality: Anna de Estepona starts from €450,000, Isidora Living Las Mesas from €519,000, and Acqua Gardens from €524,600. The price difference corresponds partly to the penthouse typology, the completed status and the documented panoramic sea views. Expressed per square metre, the asking price equates to roughly €7,800 per m² of living space, excluding terrace area, parking and storage. Availability concerns a single completed unit; there is no phased release or price list of future phases.
Daily life at this address is shaped by its position inside Estepona's built-up coastal fabric rather than in a resort enclave. The nearest supermarket is roughly 100 metres away, a pharmacy 237 metres, and restaurants and cafés are distributed across the surrounding blocks, 50 restaurants and 22 cafés within a two-kilometre radius according to the available amenity data. This density means groceries, pharmacies and everyday errands are realistically managed on foot, which is a practical distinction from developments that sit on the outskirts of town and require a car for every trip. The morning routine here does not depend on driving: bread, coffee and shopping lie within a short walk. The beach sits between 500 and 800 metres from the door, and the slope is negligible, so walking to the sea and back is uncomplicated for most people. Estepona's old town, the marina at Puerto Deportivo (1.8 km) and the seafront promenade extend the walkable range further. For exercise, the Polideportivo Municipal sports centre is 600 metres away, and the municipal sports infrastructure counts 134 facilities across the municipality. Because this is an established town rather than a seasonal urbanisation, services continue year-round: schools (19 primary and 10 secondary in the municipality), two health centres and public transport with eight lines and fifty stops operate through the winter months. The penthouse position on the top floor, with a terrace oriented towards sea views, creates the typical daily pattern of interior-outdoor living: sliding doors connect the living area to the terrace, which functions as an extension of the living space for much of the year given the local climate.
The surroundings function as a year-round urban neighbourhood rather than a seasonal resort strip. Within a two-kilometre radius, the data lists six schools, eighteen pharmacies, four banks, two parks and fifty restaurants, alongside twenty-two cafés. This density translates into practical daily life: school runs, medical errands and banking are local, and the off-season does not close the neighbourhood down. Health infrastructure includes two health centres in the municipality, with the nearest hospital facility approximately 1.1 km from the property. Public transport covers the town with eight lines and fifty stops, connecting the coastal strip with the town centre and inland districts; the bus station links Estepona to Marbella, Fuengirola and Málaga along the coast. For recreation beyond the beach, the municipal sports centre is 600 metres away, and marina facilities at Puerto Estepona (1.6 km) and Puerto Deportivo (1.8 km) offer nautical services, waterfront dining and seasonal events. Two viewpoints, Mirador del Carmen (1.2 km) and Mirador Playa del Cristo (2.0 km), mark short walking destinations with coastal panoramas. Traffic in this part of Estepona is urban in character: the A-7 coastal motorway runs inland of the town and provides the arterial connection east towards Marbella (25 km) and west towards Sotogrande and Algeciras (42 km). Noise and activity levels are those of a lived-in Spanish town: higher in summer, moderate in winter.
The map shows the property's position within Estepona's coastal urban fabric: the beachfront is a short walk west, the town centre with its amenities lies immediately around it, and the A-7 motorway connects east towards Marbella and west towards Sotogrande and Gibraltar. Golf courses appear inland to the northeast, and the Sierra Bermeja forms the mountain backdrop to the north.

Estepona records approximately 3,848 sunshine hours per year historically, with an average annual temperature of 19.2°C and a seasonal band of roughly 15-25°C. The sea warms to 20°C or above for about five months, which defines a swimming season from late spring into early autumn. The town lies at approximately 19 metres above sea level, and the route to the nearest beach has an average gradient of 2.4%, effectively flat. Inland, the municipality rises into the Sierra Bermeja, whose peak Los Reales reaches 1,449 metres; this mountain backdrop is visible from elevated positions such as a top-floor apartment and contributes to the area's sheltered microclimate. The municipality covers 137 km² of fertile valley crossed by small streams. For residents, these figures translate into terrace use for most of the year, mild winters without frost, and hot but sea-moderated summers, the classic Costa del Sol climate pattern, with Estepona's western position giving it slightly more Atlantic influence than the eastern coast of the province.

The nearest beaches are Playa de Estepona (524 m) and La Rada (769 m), the latter being the town's principal urban beach with a long promenade, chiringuitos and lifeguard services in season; La Rada holds Blue Flag status in most years. Playa del Cristo, at 1.6-2.2 km depending on the access point, is a sheltered southwest-facing cove popular with families. Playa del Angel lies 1.7 km along the coast. Golf is a defined but not adjacent feature: Valle Romano Golf (4.1 km) and Azata Golf (4.4 km) are the closest courses, with Estepona Golf at 6.1 km, all reachable within a ten-minute drive. Sports infrastructure in the municipality counts 134 facilities, including Better Bodies gym (300 m), the Polideportivo Municipal (600 m) and the José Ramón de la Morena sports centre (600 m). Water-based recreation concentrates at the two marinas. The combination is distinctly coastal-urban: beach life within walking distance, golf and marina leisure a short drive away, and no dependence on a resort complex for any of it.
