This three-bedroom duplex penthouse is located in the gated El Campanario development in Estepona, within walking distance of the beach and everyday amenities. The property measures 223 m² across two floors and was completed in 2006, since renovated to a high standard. It offers three bathrooms, a rooftop solarium with sauna and jacuzzi, a covered corner terrace, and an underground parking space. The asking price is fixed at €875,000. Residents have access to communal pools, tropical gardens, and 24-hour security, with El Campanario Golf & Country Club directly opposite.
Within Estepona, this resale penthouse competes with several new-build developments. One Estepona advertises from €685,000, Asperia Estepona from €625,000 and Bayside Homes from €739,000. Those are starting prices, typically for smaller units, so the comparison with this property's fixed €875,000 asking price is not direct: at €875,000 for 223 m², the price works out at roughly €3,900 per square metre, a level that new-build penthouses in the area often exceed once terrace space, floor level and specification are added. What this property offers in exchange for its 2006 construction date is immediacy and completeness, a renovated interior, a full rooftop solarium with sauna and jacuzzi, three en-suite bedrooms and a parking space, all available without a delivery waiting period. Locationally, the setting differs from edge-of-town new-build projects. Being inside the urban fabric places the beach, supermarket, pharmacy and hospital within walking distance, whereas several newer developments sit further from daily amenities and rely more heavily on the car. On the wider Costa del Sol, Estepona is positioned as the more Spanish, less densely built alternative to Marbella, 25 km to the east, while retaining access to the Marbella, Puerto Banús belt along the New Golden Mile. The municipal housing market records around 3,163 transactions per year, indicating an active and liquid local market. Buyers weighing this property against new-build alternatives should compare not only price per square metre but also the trade-off between brand-new construction and a renovated, established home in a mature, fully operational community with 24-hour security.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The penthouse sits in an urban setting in Estepona, on the New Golden Mile. The nearest beach, Playa de Estepona, lies approximately 524 m away as the crow flies, with La Rada at 769 m. A supermarket is 104 m from the door and a pharmacy 237 m. The A-7 coastal road connects the area to Marbella, about 25 km away in a straight line.
The layout suits households seeking space and privacy: two en-suite bedrooms on the main floor and a master suite occupying the entire upper floor with a dressing room and bathroom. The open-plan kitchen and living area open onto a corner terrace, while the rooftop solarium adds an outdoor kitchen, sauna and jacuzzi. Underfloor heating in the bathrooms and air conditioning provide year-round comfort.
This is not a new-build project but a key-ready resale property, completed in 2006 and subsequently renovated. No construction risk or delivery waiting period applies; the home can be occupied directly after purchase. The building includes a lift, and the property comes with an underground parking space within the gated community.
The property has a communal pool rather than a private one, and parking is limited to the single underground space included. The development dates from 2006, so the construction is nearly two decades old despite the renovation. No private garden belongs to the home; outdoor space consists of terraces and the solarium. A car remains useful for reaching Marbella, golf courses and the airport.
This property fits several recognisable situations. A couple or family seeking a permanent residence on the Costa del Sol will find the walkable setting practical: shops, pharmacy, healthcare and the beach are all within walking distance, which reduces dependence on a car for daily life. The three en-suite bedrooms make it workable for a household with teenage children or for regular guests. Buyers looking for a holiday home that can later become a full-time residence benefit from the key-ready status, there is no construction phase or delivery date to wait for, and the lift, gated access and 24-hour security simplify longer absences. Golfers are catered for by the country club opposite the gate and several courses within a short drive, including Valle Romano at 4.1 km and Azata Golf at 4.4 km. Buyers who prioritise private outdoor space over a private garden will appreciate the terraces and solarium; those who specifically want a private pool or a large garden plot should note that this home offers communal pools and terrace-based outdoor living instead. Finally, the 2006 construction date means the property suits buyers who value a renovated, established home in a mature community over brand-new construction.
The interior has undergone a high-quality renovation, and the specification list is concrete. Climate control is extensive: air conditioning for hot and cold use, underfloor heating with dedicated bathroom underfloor circuits, and a fireplace for the cooler months. The kitchen is fully fitted and includes a reverse osmosis water filtration system, a detail that removes the need for bottled drinking water. Bedrooms have fitted wardrobes, and the master suite adds a walk-in dressing room and a bathroom with a freestanding bathtub and walk-in shower. The main floor combines kitchen, dining and living areas in one open-plan space lit by large windows that open onto the corner terrace. Construction-wise, the building dates from 2006 and includes a lift serving the floors. The property carries a covered terrace, a private terrace and a rooftop solarium, three distinct outdoor zones with different exposures. The overall condition is listed as excellent, and the south-west orientation supports afternoon and evening sun on the terraces. Buyers should nonetheless commission an independent technical survey, as with any resale property, to verify the state of installations, the roof terrace waterproofing and the communal building structure. No energy performance details are disclosed in the available data.
The asking price is a fixed €875,000, this is an existing home, not a new-build with a price list. The price reflects a renovated 223 m² duplex penthouse with three bedrooms and three bathrooms, a rooftop solarium with sauna and jacuzzi, and an underground parking space within a gated, secured community. For context, new-build projects in Estepona currently advertise from €625,000 (Asperia Estepona), €685,000 (One Estepona) and €739,000 (Bayside Homes), though those figures are starting prices that typically rise with size, floor level and specification. Availability is immediate, as the property is key-ready and was completed in 2006.
Daily life here revolves around a walkable urban environment. With a supermarket roughly 100 m away, a pharmacy under 250 m and some fifty restaurants within two kilometres, most errands can be done on foot or by bicycle. The beach at Playa de Estepona is a short stroll, and the flat terrain, the gradient to the sea is around 2.4%, makes walking and cycling realistic alternatives to the car for local trips. The home itself is arranged for both indoor and outdoor living. Mornings can start on the south-west facing corner terrace off the open-plan kitchen and living space, which receives light through large windows. The upper floor is reserved for the master bedroom, with vaulted ceilings and terrace doors on two orientations, so daylight moves through the room during the day. Evenings can be spent on the rooftop solarium, which has a barbecue area, private sauna, jacuzzi and open views. The gated community adds 24-hour security and landscaped tropical gardens with several communal pools, including a children's pool. Opposite the development, El Campanario Golf & Country Club offers golf, tennis, a gym, spa and restaurants. Healthcare is close at hand: a hospital lies about 1.1 km away and two health centres serve the town. For sport, municipal facilities and private gyms are within a kilometre.
The immediate surroundings are urban and well-served. Within two kilometres there are roughly fifty restaurants, twenty-two cafés, six schools, eighteen pharmacies and four banks, alongside two parks. The nearest supermarket is about 104 m away and the pharmacy 237 m, so day-to-day shopping involves a short walk rather than a drive. Healthcare is accessible: a hospital sits 1.1 km from the property, and Estepona has two health centres. The town itself has around 79,600 inhabitants (2025 figure), which supports year-round services rather than a purely seasonal economy, a relevant point for buyers planning off-season residence. Sport is well covered, with 134 sports facilities in the municipality; a gym lies 300 m away and the municipal sports centre 600 m. Two marinas, Puerto Estepona at 1.6 km and Puerto Deportivo at 1.8 km, add mooring, dining and waterfront activity. For electric vehicle owners, charging points are located 1.3–1.4 km away. Public transport consists of eight lines with fifty stops, giving limited but real alternatives to driving within the town. The terrain is flat, which reinforces walkability.
The map shows the property's position within Estepona's urban fabric: the beach under 600 m to the south, the town's amenities immediately around it, and golf courses a short drive inland. Marbella and Puerto Banús lie up the coast to the east, with the Sierra Bermeja rising behind the town.

This location combines a genuine Spanish town of nearly 80,000 inhabitants, with schools, healthcare and year-round commerce, with proximity to the more internationally oriented Marbella area. Algeciras and Gibraltar lie to the south-west, the latter around 36 km away, offering an alternative flight connection to Málaga airport.

Estepona lies at roughly 19 m above sea level in a fertile valley between the coast and the Sierra Bermeja, whose peak of Los Reales reaches 1,449 m, a mountain backdrop visible from higher vantage points in the town. The climate is Mediterranean: the average annual temperature is 19.2°C, with monthly averages ranging from about 15°C in winter to 25°C in summer. The swimming season, defined by sea temperatures of 20°C or above, lasts around five months. For residents, this means terrace and outdoor use from spring through autumn, with the fireplace and underfloor heating covering the mild winter months. The gradient from the property towards the beach is about 2.4%, effectively flat, so the coastal path and beaches are reachable on foot without significant climbing. Rainfall is concentrated in the cooler half of the year, consistent with the Andalusian coast pattern.
