This two-bedroom apartment forms part of Terrazas de Costalita, a gated residential complex directly on the seafront at Costalita, on the New Golden Mile between Estepona and Marbella. Built in 2006 and now key-ready, the property offers 150 square metres of living space with two bathrooms, a south-west orientation and direct beach access. The asking price is fixed at €650,000. The surrounding area combines beaches, golf courses and everyday amenities, with Marbella roughly 15 kilometres away as the crow flies.
Compared with the surrounding market, this property occupies a specific niche: an established, spacious resale apartment directly on the beachfront, priced at a fixed €650,000. The comparable new-build projects listed for the region all start lower, Aquamar in Torre del Mar from €269,950, Lantana Residencial in Mijas from €205,000 and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona from €321,000, but those entry prices typically buy smaller units, further from the shore, and involve a construction waiting period rather than immediate availability. Etherna Homes 2, being in Estepona itself, is the closest comparison geographically; buyers weighing the two are effectively choosing between a new-build specification at a lower entry price inland and a 2006 beachfront building with 150 square metres of space, sea views and a mature gated community. Location within the region also matters: Torre del Mar and Mijas sit east of Málaga city, in cheaper market segments, while the New Golden Mile between Estepona and Marbella commands some of the highest resale values on the western Costa del Sol because of its combination of beaches, golf and proximity to Marbella, 15 kilometres away. The local market registers around 711 housing transactions per year, indicating steady liquidity for resales in this zone. Median provincial income of €16,450 per year contextualises the price level: this property is priced well above the regional median home, reflecting its coastal premium rather than local purchasing power. For a buyer whose priority is the sea itself, walking out to the sand rather than driving to it, the beachfront stock at Costalita competes mainly with other resale communities on the same strip, not with the new-build pipeline further inland.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The apartment sits in the Costalita beachfront zone of Estepona, at approximately 16 metres above sea level on flat coastal terrain. The nearest beach, Playa del Sol Villacana, lies 0.4 kilometres away in a direct line. The location sits between Estepona town and Marbella, with the A-7 coastal road connecting both, and roughly 50 public transport stops are served by 8 lines in the wider area.
The home is configured as a two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment with 150 square metres of internal space and a large terrace. It suits households seeking a low-maintenance coastal base with sea views, communal pools, air conditioning, central heating and a fireplace. Daily amenities are within walking or short driving distance, including eighteen restaurants, three pharmacies and a bank within two kilometres.
This is not a new-build project. The apartment was completed in 2006 within the Terrazas de Costalita complex and is available immediately as a key-ready resale property. No construction phase or delivery schedule applies; the transfer can proceed according to the standard Spanish resale purchase process once a buyer and seller agree terms.
The property offers two bedrooms rather than three or more, which limits its use for larger families. There is no private pool; swimming facilities are communal within the complex. It is an apartment, so no private garden plot is included, and residents depend on community arrangements for outdoor space. Parking arrangements are not specified in the available data.
This property fits a buyer seeking an immediately available coastal home without a construction waiting period. Typical matching situations include: a couple or small family wanting a two-bedroom, two-bathroom layout with generous living space near the sea; an international buyer looking for a second residence that can be locked up securely between visits thanks to the gated community; and anyone prioritising walking access to the beach over inland or golf-side living. The 2006 construction date means the buyer acquires a completed, established home in a mature community, which appeals to purchasers who prefer to see exactly what they are buying rather than a plan or a show home. The fixed asking price of €650,000 positions the property in the mid-to-upper segment for the area, which corresponds to the beachfront location and the sea views rather than to a developer's launch pricing. Buyers requiring three or more bedrooms, a private pool or a private garden will need to look elsewhere, as will those seeking a modern new-build specification. In return, the home offers space per euro that newer projects on the coast, with their smaller unit sizes, often cannot match at comparable seafront distances.
The apartment dates from 2006 and is described as being in excellent condition, with a fully equipped kitchen including appliances. The living room features floor-to-ceiling panoramic windows oriented towards the sea, a construction choice that maximises both daylight and the view from the main living space. Climate control is comprehensive for a property of this age: air conditioning for summer, central heating for the cooler months and a fireplace as a supplementary heat source, which together cover the full range of the local climate where average monthly temperatures run between 12 and 26 degrees Celsius. The two bathrooms include at least one with a bathtub, based on the available photography. As a resale property, the specification reflects its construction period rather than current new-build standards; buyers comparing against 2020s developments should expect solid, conventional build quality rather than the latest smart-home or energy-efficiency technology. The community grounds are landscaped and maintained, and the complex offers communal pools and play areas. An energy label and detailed technical documentation would be reviewed during the standard purchase process. Overall, the finishing level is consistent with a well-maintained apartment in an established gated complex on this part of the coast.
The apartment is offered at a fixed asking price of €650,000. This is an existing resale property, not a new development with a price list, so there is no range of unit types or prices. For context, nearby new-build projects start from lower figures: Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona from €321,000, Aquamar in Torre del Mar from €269,950 and Lantana Residencial in Mijas from €205,000. Those projects differ in location, specification and distance to the sea; this property's pricing reflects its beachfront position, its 150 square metres of space and its established community setting on the New Golden Mile. Annual costs such as community fees and IBI are not specified in the available data.
Daily life at Terrazas de Costalita revolves around the sea. The apartment's south-west orientation means afternoon and evening sun on the terrace, with panoramic views over the Mediterranean and the complex's landscaped grounds. Morning coffee outdoors, an afternoon walk along Playa del Sol Villacana four hundred metres away, and an evening meal at one of the many restaurants within two kilometres form a realistic daily rhythm. The flat coastal terrain, with a gradient of just 2.5 percent to the beach, makes walking and cycling practical for most residents. The gated community provides pools, children's play areas and relaxation zones, so the property functions both as a year-round home and as a lock-up-and-leave second residence. Outside the summer months the area quiets down considerably, as is typical for this stretch of coast, although the permanent population of the New Golden Mile keeps a core of restaurants, cafés and services open year-round. A car remains useful for reaching Estepona town, Marbella and the inland villages, though the density of stops and lines in the area means basic public transport exists. Golfers can reach three courses within 2.4 kilometres, and tennis and padel clubs sit within roughly two kilometres, giving the location a sporty residential character rather than a purely seasonal one.
The immediate surroundings combine beach proximity with an unusually dense concentration of sports facilities. Three golf courses lie within 2.4 kilometres as the crow flies: El Coto de la Serena at 1.5 kilometres, Flamingos Golf at 1.9 kilometres and Tramores Golf at 2.4 kilometres. Tennis and padel options include the Racket Club Villa Paderna at just 0.3 kilometres, Club de Tenis at 1.6 kilometres and RozaRossa Tennis and Padel Club at 2.1 kilometres. Everyday amenities within two kilometres count eighteen restaurants, three pharmacies, a bank, a park, two cafés and one primary school, meaning most daily needs are covered without leaving the neighbourhood. International schooling is available at The International School of Estepona, 2.3 kilometres away, and Creators International School at 7.7 kilometres. Puerto Deportivo José Banús marina lies 9.4 kilometres to the east. For electric vehicle owners, a Supercharger station sits 0.9 kilometres away. The local housing market records around 711 transactions per year, indicating an active but not overheated market on this stretch of the coast.
The map shows the apartment's position directly behind the beach at Costalita, with the three nearest sandy beaches clustered within a kilometre and the golf and racket clubs of the New Golden Mile spread inland. Marbella lies to the east along the coast, Estepona town to the west.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Costalita occupies the New Golden Mile, the coastal strip between Estepona and Marbella known for its beachfront residential communities and golf courses. Within this context, the property sits closer to Estepona's municipal services while remaining within easy reach of Marbella, 15 kilometres to the east. The wider region extends from Algeciras, 51 kilometres to the south-west, to Málaga, 63 kilometres to the east. On the Costa del Sol as a whole, this stretch combines established residential development with a lower building density than the Marbella centre, which shapes its character as a settled, sports-oriented coastal zone.
Beaches are the defining feature of the location: Playa del Sol Villacana lies 0.4 kilometres away in a direct line, with Playa de Guadalmansa at 0.6 kilometres and Playa del Saladillo at 0.8 kilometres, all reachable on foot over flat terrain. Marbella, with around 148,000 inhabitants, is 15 kilometres away by direct line and provides extensive shopping, healthcare and cultural facilities. Estepona town is the nearest municipal centre, while Málaga city lies roughly 63 kilometres to the east. Two airports serve the area: Gibraltar at approximately 43 kilometres and Malaga-Costa del Sol at approximately 55 kilometres, both straight-line figures, with actual road distances being longer. Public transport in the area consists of 8 lines serving approximately 50 stops, which covers local coastal movement, though a car remains the practical choice for regional travel. All distances mentioned are as the crow flies.

The climate data points to a typical Mediterranean coastal profile: an average annual temperature of 19.4 degrees Celsius, with monthly averages ranging from 12 degrees in winter to 26 degrees in summer. The swimming season extends to roughly six months per year during which sea temperatures reach at least 20 degrees, which aligns with the property's direct beach access. The elevation of 16 metres above sea level and the 2.5 percent gradient to the shore mean the terrain is flat throughout, with no hills between the apartment and the sea. The view range listed for the property includes sea, mountain, country, garden, pool and urban views, reflecting a position where the coastline, the Sierra Bermeja foothills behind Estepona and the community gardens are all visible. Afternoon and evening sun follows from the south-west orientation.

Three sandy beaches sit within one kilometre of the property as the crow flies, headed by Playa del Sol Villacana at 0.4 kilometres. This density of shoreline access is the core recreational asset of the location and supports swimming, walking and beach dining for much of the year. Golf and racket sports form the second recreation layer: three golf courses within 2.4 kilometres and three tennis or padel clubs within 2.1 kilometres, including the Racket Club Villa Paderna only 300 metres away. A public swimming pool at Parque Antena lies 1.1 kilometres from the complex. For maritime leisure, Puerto Deportivo José Banús is 9.4 kilometres away, offering berths, dining and nightlife. Within the complex itself, residents have access to communal pools, children's play areas and landscaped gardens, which extend the recreation options beyond the beach season.
