This key-ready two-bedroom apartment stands in Terrazas de Costalita, on the stretch of coast between Estepona and Marbella known as the New Golden Mile. The home has a fixed asking price of €689,000 and offers two bathrooms, two terraces, sea views, a private garage space and a 10 m² storage room. Built in 2004 and finished to a good standard, it is sold fully furnished and equipped. The complex sits directly on the beachfront, with communal pools, gardens, a gym and 24-hour security. The nearest sand is roughly 400 metres away as the crow flies.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
Costalita is a residential beachfront urbanisation on Estepona's New Golden Mile, about 15 km from Marbella by straight-line distance. The apartment forms part of a front-line beach complex with direct access to the sand. Restaurants, pharmacies, banks and a supermarket-level commercial strip lie within two kilometres, while Marbella and Estepona town are both a short drive away.
The home is arranged as two bedrooms with two bathrooms across 85 m² of living space, plus two terraces oriented to the south with sea views. It suits a couple or small family seeking a move-in-ready coastal residence, or a buyer wanting a lock-and-leave second home with garage and storage included. Air conditioning (hot and cold) and a video entry system are fitted throughout.
This is not a new-build project. The apartment was completed in 2004 and is described as key-ready and in excellent condition. It is sold fully furnished and equipped, which means no waiting period or construction risk: the purchase process concludes with a standard resale completion. Any delivery or handover date depends entirely on the notarial timeline of the transaction.
The property is a resale apartment, not a new development, so there is no developer warranty phase or customisation of finishes. Living space is 85 m², which is compact for a two-bedroom, two-bathroom layout; the marketing text mentions 130 m², but the registered living area in the data is 85 m². There is no private pool; swimming is via the communal pool. No plot or private garden belongs to the apartment.
This property fits several recognisable situations. A couple seeking a low-maintenance seaside home will find the two-bedroom, two-bathroom layout practical, with the second bathroom serving guests. Buyers wanting a second residence that can be locked up for months at a time benefit from the 24-hour security, the video entry system and the included garage and storage. Because the home is fully furnished and key-ready, it also suits buyers who want to use it immediately rather than wait for construction or renovation. Investors evaluating rental potential should note the location's demand profile: the area records around 711 housing transactions per year, and a front-line beach position on the New Golden Mile is a scarce asset type. Families with young children have a primary school within two kilometres and an international school at about 2.3 km straight-line distance, plus a children's pool within the complex. The home is less suitable for buyers needing three or more bedrooms, a private pool or a large private garden, none of which it offers. The 85 m² living area also means the second bedroom is best used as a comfortable double rather than a flexible multi-use space. Buyers who prioritise walkable urban life, with a town centre on the doorstep, may prefer Estepona or Marbella old towns; Costalita is suburban by character and most longer trips involve a car.
The apartment dates from 2004 and is presented in excellent condition, fully furnished and equipped for immediate occupation. Interior materials visible in the listing imagery include marble-tiled bathrooms with a bathtub and modern vanity, a fitted kitchen with patio views, and a bright master bedroom. Leather sofas in the living room indicate a complete furnishing package rather than a shell. Hot and cold air conditioning is installed throughout, which covers both winter cool snaps and summer heat, and a video entry system is fitted for security at the door. As a resale from 2004, the construction standard is that of the early-2000s Costa del Sol premium segment: cavity-built concrete construction, aluminium or similar glazing, and communal infrastructure including extensive gardens, a communal pool, a children's pool and a gym within the complex. Buyers should expect a conventional thermal performance rather than the insulation levels of post-2021 new-build regulations, and the air conditioning will carry a meaningful share of summer comfort. Two terraces extend the usable space beyond the 85 m² interior, and the south orientation supports outdoor use across most of the year. Practical points for any resale purchase remain the standard ones: verification of the community's financial health, the annual community fees, the IBI property tax and the technical state of installations, all of which a survey and the community documents will clarify before completion.
The apartment is offered at a fixed asking price of €689,000. This is a resale home, not a new-build price list, so the figure applies to this specific property with its two bedrooms, two bathrooms, 85 m² of living space, two terraces, garage space and 10 m² storage room included. For context, new-build projects elsewhere on the coast currently advertise from-prices of roughly €205,000 in Mijas and €321,000 in Estepona, though those are typically smaller units without a front-line beach position. As a completed, furnished resale, this home can be transferred through a standard purchase process once a buyer and mortgage arrangements, if any, are in place.
Daily life here revolves around the beach. The front-line position means the sand is effectively part of the garden: Playa del Sol Villacana lies about 400 metres away in a straight line, with Playa de Guadalmansa and Playa del Saladillo within a kilometre. The terrain is flat, with a gradient of roughly 2.5% to the shore, so walking to and from the beach requires no effort even in summer heat. The south-facing terraces receive sun through the middle of the day and into the afternoon, and the sea views give a clear sense of the coastal setting. The urbanisation itself is suburban and quiet by character, with 24-hour security and on-site patrols, which matters for buyers who leave the home unoccupied for part of the year. Within two kilometres there are eighteen restaurants, two cafés, three pharmacies and a bank, so everyday essentials do not require a car. A primary school sits within the same radius, and international schooling is available at The International School of Estepona, roughly 2.3 km away as the crow flies. The rhythm of the area shifts with the seasons. In summer the beaches and chiringuitos are busy; outside the main season the neighbourhood reverts to a quieter residential pace. For sport, the Racket Club Villa Paderna is 300 metres away, and several golf courses, including El Coto de la Serena and Flamingos Golf, sit within about two kilometres. A car remains useful for reaching Estepona town, Marbella or Puerto Banús, all of which are short drives along the A-7 coast road.
The immediate surroundings combine beach access with suburban residential calm. Within a two-kilometre radius, the data lists eighteen restaurants, two cafés, three pharmacies, a bank and a park, which covers daily needs without leaving the area. The Racket Club Villa Paderna sits 300 metres away, the Club de Tenis 1.6 km, and the RozaRossa Tennis and Padel Club 2.1 km, giving padel and tennis players several options within minutes. Golfers can reach Club de Golf El Coto de la Serena at 1.5 km, Flamingos Golf at 1.9 km and Tramores Golf at 2.4 km, all measured in straight-line distance; actual road distances will be somewhat longer. Public transport in the wider area consists of eight lines serving fifty stops, which is workable for occasional trips along the coast, though most residents will find a car more convenient. An electric-vehicle Supercharger is located 0.9 km away at Estepona. The neighbourhood lies at roughly 16 metres above sea level on flat terrain, so there are no significant climbs between the apartment, the beach and local amenities. Marbella, with nearly 148,000 inhabitants, lies 15 km away in a straight line, giving access to a full city offer of shopping, healthcare and culture within a short drive.
The map shows the apartment's front-line position between Estepona and Marbella, with the beach a few hundred metres to the south and the golf courses of the New Golden Mile just inland. Distances shown are straight-line; road distances to Marbella, Estepona and the airports are somewhat longer.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Costalita occupies a position on the New Golden Mile, the coastal strip between Estepona and Marbella that has become one of the most established addresses on the western Costa del Sol. Marbella, at 15 km straight-line, and Estepona town, slightly closer, frame the area with full urban services, while Málaga, the regional capital with around 579,000 inhabitants, lies roughly 63 km away. The location combines beachfront immediacy with access to two of the coast's principal towns, which explains its consistent demand among international buyers.
The beach is the closest amenity of all: Playa del Sol Villacana is about 400 metres away as the crow flies, and the complex offers direct beach access. Two further beaches, Playa de Guadalmansa and Playa del Saladillo, lie within 800 metres. Puerto Deportivo José Banús marina is 9.4 km away in a straight line, roughly a fifteen-minute drive along the coast road. By car, Estepona town and Marbella are both short drives, with Marbella 15 km straight-line away. Gibraltar Airport is roughly 43 km straight-line and Malaga-Costa del Sol Airport about 55 km, meaning both are realistic arrival points, with Malaga generally offering the wider flight network. Alicante-Elche, at 446 km, is not a practical option. The area's flat terrain and suburban layout make local trips straightforward, and a Tesla Supercharger 0.9 km away supports electric motoring. Public transport exists with eight lines and fifty stops, useful as a backup but secondary to car ownership for most residents here.

The climate data points to a typical Mediterranean coastal pattern: average monthly temperatures range from 12°C in the coolest months to 26°C in summer, with an annual average of 19.4°C. The swimming season lasts around six months, during which sea temperatures hold at 20°C or above, which matches the front-line beach character of the property. Winters are mild enough for terrace use on many days, and the south-facing orientation of the apartment captures midday and afternoon sun throughout the year. The elevation of 16 metres above sea level and the 2.5% gradient to the beach mean the terrain is flat; there are no hills between the home and the shore, and no stairs or steep paths to negotiate. Outdoor activity is therefore comfortable across most seasons, from beach walks in summer to golf and padel in the shoulder months. Rainfall is concentrated in the winter half of the year, as is usual on this coast, leaving long dry stretches from late spring to early autumn.

Three beaches lie within a kilometre of the apartment: Playa del Sol Villacana at 0.4 km, Playa de Guadalmansa at 0.6 km and Playa del Saladillo at 0.8 km, all measured in a straight line. This density of sandy options, combined with direct access from the complex, defines the recreational character of the location. The swimming pool at Parque Antena, 1.1 km away, adds a freshwater alternative. Racquet sports are notably well served. Villa Paderna's racket club is 300 metres from the door, the Club de Tenis 1.6 km and RozaRossa Tennis and Paddle Club 2.1 km, so regular padel or tennis requires no real travel planning. Golfers have three courses within about 2.4 km: El Coto de la Serena, Flamingos Golf and Tramores Golf. Within the complex itself, residents share a communal pool, a children's pool, extensive gardens and a gym, and the beach effectively extends the recreational area. For maritime leisure, the marina at Puerto Banús is about 9.4 km away by straight-line distance.

Within the wider Costa del Sol market, this apartment occupies a different segment from the newer projects buyers often compare it against. Aquamar in Torre del Mar advertises from €269,950, Lantana Residencial in Mijas from €205,000, and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona from €321,000. Those are new-build price lists for typically smaller units further from the shore; this property is a completed resale at a fixed €689,000, and the premium reflects its front-line beach position on the New Golden Mile, its included garage and storage, and its furnished, move-in-ready state. Locationally, Costalita sits between Estepona town and Marbella, 15 km from the latter in a straight line. Estepona itself has seen sustained development activity, with roughly 711 housing transactions per year recorded in the local data, and the New Golden Mile consistently attracts international buyers seeking established beachfront communities rather than off-plan projects. Compared with Torre del Mar or Mijas, both further east and closer to Málaga airport, this western stretch trades airport proximity for proximity to Marbella, Puerto Banús and the Gibraltar catchment, with Gibraltar Airport about 43 km straight-line away and Malaga-Costa del Sol roughly 55 km. For buyers weighing new-build against resale, the trade-off is clear: a new project offers modern regulations, developer guarantees and a lower entry price, while this home offers immediate availability, an established community with mature gardens and security, and a beach position that new front-line plots on this coast rarely offer at any price. The 85 m² living area is more compact than many new two-bedroom layouts further inland, which is the principal counterweight in the comparison.
