Imagine Estepona is a residential development of 15 detached villas located in the Bel Air district of Estepona. Situated on the western Costa del Sol, the project lies at the foothills of the Sierra Bermeja mountain range. The villas are currently under construction with completion scheduled for the first quarter of 2027. Plot sizes are around 985 m² with a constructed area of 581 m². The architectural style combines contemporary lines with classic elements designed to integrate into the surrounding landscape.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The project is situated in the urban environment of Estepona, specifically within the Bel Air neighborhood. It is a residential area that borders the coastline while retaining the character of a suburban zone. The region experiences a mix of permanent residents and tourism. The location is situated inland from the coastal road, part of the area known as the 'New Golden Mile'.
The residences are designed as 5-bedroom, 6-bathroom detached villas. This volume provides significant living space suitable for large families or individuals requiring separate guest areas. The layout spans multiple levels, including a basement option. The gated nature of the community addresses the need for privacy and security, a common requirement for international buyers.
Construction is currently active. The projected timeline indicates a completion date in Q1 2027. Buyers should consider a waiting period of approximately two years before the property is habitable. During this construction phase, opportunities may exist to customize certain finishes, subject to the developer's terms.
This project is not suitable for buyers seeking an apartment or a low-maintenance home. The private gardens and pool require regular upkeep. Additionally, the location in Bel Air is not directly on the beachfront; residents must account for a short distance to access the sea. The design includes multiple floors connected by a lift, which may not suit those preferring single-level living.
This development fits families requiring ample living space and a high degree of privacy. The proximity to multiple golf courses and the security of a gated community make it relevant for buyers prioritizing safety. It also appeals to those seeking a residence in Estepona rather than the more congested Marbella area, while still desiring access to the amenities of the Golden Mile.
Specifications include large-format porcelain flooring (90x90 cm) and wooden flooring in bedrooms. Brands such as Santos (kitchens) and Technal (aluminum) are utilized. Facades combine cement mortar with decorative ceramic tiles. This indicates a focus on durable materials and a modern architectural finish.
Pricing for the villas starts from €2,195,000. This positions the development in the high-end segment of the local market. Price variation exists depending on the specific unit and its placement within the development. The listed prices generally exclude additional purchase taxes and notary fees.
Daily life at Imagine Estepona centers on privacy and a quiet residential atmosphere. As a gated community, internal traffic is minimal. The Bel Air district, according to location data, is positioned near the coast but maintains a suburban character. A supermarket is located within walking distance (353 m). While the vibrancy of Estepona town is accessible, the project itself offers a secluded environment away from the main tourist thoroughfares.
The surrounding area is defined by the presence of several golf courses (Flamingos, El Paraíso) and the mountain backdrop of the Sierra Bermeja. The coastline runs parallel to the project. The nearest beach, Playa del Saladillo, is less than 1 kilometer away. Estepona has a population of approximately 79,000, offering a blend of local Andalusian culture and an international expatriate community.
