This completed three-bedroom corner penthouse forms part of the Célere Sea Views development in Estepona, a gated community within walking distance of the town's beaches and daily amenities. The property measures 93 m² of living space with two bathrooms, a private parking space and a storage room, delivered in 2024. Its corner position and terrace provide sea views across the coastline. The asking price is €740,000. Estepona itself is an established town of roughly 79,600 inhabitants on the western Costa del Sol, 34 km from Gibraltar airport and about an hour from Málaga, with supermarkets, pharmacies, schools and health centres all within a short radius of the development.
Within Estepona's new-build market, this penthouse sits at the upper end of the local price range. Comparable developments currently marketed include Isidora Living Las Mesas (from €519,000), Acqua Gardens (from €524,600) and Vanian Park (from €537,000), all substantially lower entry points, but typically for standard apartments or lower-floor units without direct sea views. The €740,000 asking price equates to roughly €7,960/m² of built area, though the package includes a terrace, parking space and storage room, which in Estepona can represent €40,000–60,000 of separate value. What distinguishes this unit is the combination of three factors rarely aligned at this price: penthouse floor level with sea views, a genuinely walkable urban location (supermarket at 104 m, beach at 524 m), and completed status with immediate availability. Geographically, Estepona competes against Marbella 25 km east, where equivalent sea-view new-build penthouses generally command higher prices per square metre, and against Sotogrande and the Gibraltar corridor to the west, which offers a similar airport-accessibility argument. Estepona's own market dynamics, 3,163 transactions, a growing resident population approaching 80,000, and sustained new-build delivery along the western seafront, support liquidity for well-located units. For buyers comparing across the town, the practical trade-off is between this central coastal position, with full walkability but urban density, and hillside developments such as Vanian Park near Arroyo Vaquero, which offer newer surroundings and more space per euro but greater car dependency. The Célere Sea Views position also benefits from being inland-side of the coastal road relative to some beachfront alternatives, a detail worth checking on viewing for noise considerations. Against the wider Costa del Sol, the location's dual-airport access, Gibraltar at 36 km, Málaga at 64 km, remains one of Estepona's structural advantages.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The penthouse sits in an urban setting on the Estepona seafront side, roughly 500–800 metres from Playa de Estepona and La Rada beach. A supermarket is within 104 metres, a pharmacy 237 metres, and the hospital 1.1 km away. The location is flat terrain at approximately 19 metres above sea level, meaning the walk to the coast involves minimal gradient. Marbella lies 25 km to the east.
The property functions as a turn-key residence: three bedrooms and two bathrooms across 93 m², with an open-plan layout connecting to a private terrace. The gated community includes a dedicated parking space and storage room. Short-term rental is permitted within the community, which broadens the practical use of the property beyond permanent residence to holiday or rental use.
Construction is complete and the property was delivered in 2024 (indicative). As a finished unit, there is no off-plan uncertainty regarding timing or final specification; the buyer purchases the completed standard of finish as inspected. The development, Célere Sea Views, is a modern residential scheme by a national developer, with phased delivery typical for projects of this scale.
The property does not include a private garden or private pool; outdoor space is limited to the terrace. Living space is 93 m², which is compact relative to some three-bedroom alternatives in the area. The penthouse has two bathrooms rather than three. No data is available on communal pool or facility access, and internal floor plans should be verified on viewing.
This property matches several recognisable situations. A buyer relocating permanently who wants to avoid off-plan risk and move into a finished home immediately, with schools, healthcare and shopping within walking distance, will find the location practical. A second-home buyer seeking a lock-up-and-leave coastal base benefits from the gated community, allocated parking and storage, plus the short transfer from Gibraltar airport (36 km). Investors should note that short-term rental is explicitly permitted in the community, a meaningful differentiator in a municipality where licensing constraints affect many buildings, although rental projections should be verified independently. The property suits buyers who prioritise view, terrace and walkability over interior square footage: at 93 m² for three bedrooms, rooms are functional rather than generous, and households wanting large separate living zones may prefer a larger unit. Buyers focused on golf-course-side living will find Valle Romano (4.1 km) and Azata Golf (4.4 km) reachable by car in under ten minutes, but this is not a golf-front development. It is equally not a rural or hillside retreat: the setting is urban Estepona, with the associated activity and density. Buyers who want silence and seclusion should look at the hills behind the town. In short, the profile that fits best is a buyer who values a finished, view-oriented penthouse in a full-service town, accepts moderate interior dimensions, and wants the option of flexible use, residence, holiday home or regulated rental.
The developer, Célere (Vía Célere), is a national Spanish housebuilder whose specifications in this series typically include: fitted kitchens with stainless-steel appliances (visible in the property photography), modern bathroom fittings with bathtub and contemporary sanitaryware, pre-installation for air conditioning via ducted systems, and energy-efficient building envelopes consistent with current Spanish technical building code requirements. The photography confirms a delivered standard of finish: fitted wardrobes, finished bathrooms and a completed kitchen, meaning the price reflects a move-in-ready unit rather than a shell requiring further investment. Specific items that should be verified at viewing or through the developer's specification sheet include: the exact appliance brands, the type of glazing (acoustic performance is relevant given the urban position), whether the unit has aerotherm domestic hot water, and the formal energy certificate rating. The building is delivered under Spanish construction law with the standard ten-year structural guarantee (seguro decenal), three-year warranty on installation elements and one year on finishing defects, statutory cover that applies to this 2024 delivery. The inclusion of a parking space and storage room in the price is standard for this developer and should be confirmed in the title allocation. As a completed unit, the buyer's due diligence shifts from developer reputation to physical inspection: water pressure, terrace waterproofing, and the operation of all installed systems can be checked directly.
The asking price is €740,000, equivalent to roughly €7,960 per m² of built area, though the terrace, parking space and storage room add value beyond the headline square metres. Within Estepona's new-build segment, comparable projects start lower: Isidora Living Las Mesas from €519,000, Acqua Gardens from €524,600, and Vanian Park from €537,000. The premium here reflects the completed status, penthouse floor level, corner position, sea views and the immediate beach proximity of an urban location. Estepona recorded 3,163 property transactions, indicating an active resale and new-build market with reasonable liquidity.
Daily life around this penthouse is organised around walking distances. A supermarket sits essentially at the foot of the development (104 m), a pharmacy is 237 metres away, and cafés, restaurants and banks cluster within the surrounding streets, the 2 km radius counts around 50 restaurants and 22 cafés. The beach is a flat five-to-ten-minute walk, with La Rada's promenade connecting into Estepona's old town and marina area to the west. The penthouse position on the top floor, combined with the corner orientation, gives the terrace an open sightline towards the sea, which in practical terms means morning light and coastal views from the principal living space. Estepona functions year-round as a working Andalusian town rather than a seasonal resort: it has 19 primary schools, 10 secondary schools, two health centres and a resident population approaching 80,000. For a buyer intending to live here outside the summer months, this means restaurants, services and municipal facilities remain active. A car is not strictly necessary for daily errands, the terrain is flat, cycling is practical, and eight public transport lines with 50 stops cover the municipality. For excursions further afield, the A-7 coast road provides access to Marbella in about 25 minutes and Gibraltar in under an hour. The property's dual character, walkable urban location combined with penthouse-level views and terrace living, defines its everyday rhythm: errands on foot, beach visits without parking logistics, and evening use of the terrace during the long warm season.
The immediate environment is dense, urban and service-rich. Within a two-kilometre radius: 50 restaurants, 22 cafés, 18 pharmacies, 4 banks, 6 schools and 2 parks. The hospital is 1.1 km away; two health centres serve the municipality. Sports infrastructure is notably strong, 134 sports facilities in the municipality, including Better Bodies gym (300 m), the Polideportivo Municipal (600 m) and the Centro Deportivo José Ramón de la Morena (600 m). Public transport covers the town via 8 lines and 50 stops. The terrain is flat (2.4% gradient to the beach), so walking and cycling are realistic daily modes. EV charging is available at 1.3 km (Zunder/GALP) and a Tesla Supercharger 8.3 km away. The area is busier in summer months due to beach tourism, Estepona has 24 hotels and nearly 6,900 beds, while retaining year-round activity from the resident population.
The map shows the property's position on the flat coastal strip of central Estepona, with the beach less than 600 metres south and the town's full amenity grid surrounding it. Marbella lies 25 km east along the coast, Gibraltar 36 km west, and the Sierra Bermeja rises directly north, a geography that explains both the views and the sheltered climate.

Estepona records approximately 3,848 sunshine hours per year, among the highest in Spain, and a mean annual temperature of 19.2°C with typical ranges of 15–25°C. The swimming season, defined by sea temperatures of 20°C or above, runs about five months, roughly May to October. The town sits at 19 metres elevation on flat coastal terrain, so no notable slopes affect daily movement; the 2.4% gradient to the beach is negligible. Inland, the municipality rises into the Sierra Bermeja, culminating at Los Reales (1,449 m), which shelters the coast, contributes to the mild microclimate and offers hiking terrain within a short drive. Mediterranean climate conditions mean dry summers and mild, wetter winters.
