This completed two-bedroom ground-floor apartment sits in the Cortijo del Golf complex in El Paraiso, on the border between Estepona and Marbella. Built in 2020, the 112 m² unit includes two bathrooms, a private garden of approximately 102 m², a covered terrace, and a storage room. The complex comprises 64 apartments with communal pools and lift access. The location combines proximity to three golf courses within one kilometre, a supermarket within 450 metres, and the beach roughly 1.3 km away. Malaga-Costa del Sol airport lies about 52 km away, with Gibraltar airport at approximately 46 km. The asking price is €580,000.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The apartment is located in El Paraiso, a residential district between Estepona and Marbella on the Costa del Sol. El Campanario Golf Course lies 300 metres away, El Paraíso Golf Club about 700 metres, and the nearest beach roughly 1.3 km. A supermarket is within a five-minute walk, and the Diana Shopping Centre provides daily services. Six public transport lines serve the wider area with around 50 stops.
The unit is arranged as a two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment with an open-plan kitchen, ensuite bathroom, fitted wardrobes, utility room and storage room. Air conditioning provides hot and cold climate control, and a pre-installed alarm with smoke detectors is present. A private underground garage space is included. The southeast orientation and ground-floor garden position support outdoor use across the day. Furniture is optional.
Construction was completed in 2020, so the apartment is delivered in finished condition rather than off-plan. The complex, Cortijo del Golf, contains 64 apartments with communal pools and direct lift access to underground parking from each block. No construction-phase uncertainty applies; the buyer purchases an existing unit whose actual condition can be inspected prior to purchase.
The property does not offer sea views, a private pool, or a penthouse position; outdoor space consists of a private garden and covered terrace at ground level. There are only two bedrooms, which limits capacity for larger households. The parcel is 102 m², smaller than the 112 m² built interior, so garden space is modest in scale. No data indicates direct beachfront access or underfloor heating.

This apartment fits a buyer who wants a finished, move-in-ready unit rather than an off-plan waiting period of one to three years. It suits couples or small families using it as a second home, since the two-bedroom, two-bathroom layout accommodates guests without shared bathrooms. Buyers who prioritise outdoor space at ground level, gardening, dining outside, direct access from the living area, will find the private garden more practical than a high balcony, though anyone wanting elevated sea views should look elsewhere. The location works well for golf-oriented residents: three courses within one kilometre makes walking to the first tee realistic, and the El Campanario clubhouse with tennis and padel courts is nearby. It also suits buyers who want walkable daily services: supermarket, pharmacy, restaurants and an international school (The International School of Estepona at 0.8 km) are all within a short radius, reducing car dependency for routine life. Retirees or part-year residents benefit from the flat terrain, the lift access from underground parking, and year-round openness of local amenities. It is less suitable for households needing three or more bedrooms, for buyers seeking a private pool, or for those wanting to be directly on the beachfront, the 1.3 km distance means the sea is a walk or short drive rather than at the doorstep. Investors comparing rental yields should note that the price per square metre is at the upper end of comparable regional supply.
The apartment was completed in 2020 and the listing describes it as ready to move into, with an interior in good condition. The kitchen is open-plan and equipped with Siemens appliances, a mid-to-upper range brand for built-in white goods in Spanish residential construction. Climate control is provided by integrated air conditioning with both hot and cold functions, covering year-round temperature regulation; no underfloor heating or heat pump data is specified. A pre-installed alarm system and smoke detectors are fitted, which is standard for post-2019 builds but worth confirming in operation. Interior storage includes fitted wardrobes in the bedrooms plus a separate storage room and utility room, an arrangement that reduces clutter pressure on the 112 m² living space. The ensuite bathroom serves the main bedroom, with the second bathroom accessible from the hallway. Exterior elements consist of large sliding doors connecting the living area to the garden, a covered terrace, and garden views rather than sea or mountain outlooks. The block includes a lift serving the underground garage, where the private parking space is located. Within the complex, communal pools are available. Buyers should verify the energy performance certificate directly, as no label is recorded in the available data. As the building is five years old, standard due diligence applies: review the community fee structure, the ITE or building inspection requirements for newer Andalusian builds, and the warranty periods on installations where applicable.
The asking price is €580,000 for a single completed unit; this is not a phased development with a price list across multiple typologies, so variation depends on negotiation and any optional furniture package rather than on different unit types. At 112 m² built, the price equates to roughly €5,180 per square metre, which is above newer developments further east such as Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona (from €269,000) or Lantana Residencial in Mijas (from €205,000), reflecting the completed status, garden, garage space and the El Paraiso location between Estepona and Marbella. Included in the price are the storage room and underground parking space.
Daily life at this apartment centres on a ground-floor rhythm between interior and garden. The southeast and south orientation means the covered terrace and garden receive sun through the morning and into the afternoon, which suits breakfast outdoors and midday use, while the interior stays usable during the hottest hours thanks to integrated air conditioning. The layout follows a conventional two-bedroom arrangement: an open-plan living and kitchen space with sliding doors to the garden, a main bedroom with ensuite bathroom, and a second bathroom serving the guest room. Practical routines are short here. A supermarket sits 453 metres from the door, a pharmacy about 1.1 km, and the Diana Shopping Centre is within walking distance, so most daily errands do not require a car. The surrounding area is urbanised and residential rather than rural: within a two-kilometre radius there are 31 restaurants, six cafes, three banks and a dentist, alongside a tennis and padel club at 900 metres. Golf is the dominant recreation, with El Campanario 300 metres away and El Paraíso Golf Club under one kilometre, allowing play or practice on foot. The beach lies about 1.3 to 1.4 km away, roughly a 15 to 20 minute walk on terrain with only a 1.4 percent slope, meaning a bicycle or short drive shortens this considerably. The area sits at 25 metres above sea level, flat and low-lying, with the coastal A-7 and AP-7 roads connecting Estepona town to Marbella and Puerto Banús, 6.6 km away. Out of the summer season the neighbourhood is quieter, though the density of hotels in the wider area, 24 with nearly 7,000 beds, means restaurants and services remain open year-round rather than closing after the tourist peak.
El Paraiso sits in the New Golden Mile corridor between Estepona and Marbella, a stretch characterised by low-rise residential urbanisations interspersed with golf courses rather than high-density hotel blocks. The immediate surroundings are walkable: the nearest supermarket is 453 metres away, and the radius within two kilometres contains 31 restaurants, six cafes, three banks, four pharmacies and a dentist. For families, The International School of Estepona is 800 metres from the complex, and the wider area counts 19 primary schools and 10 secondary schools, indicating an established year-round population rather than a purely seasonal one. Healthcare is covered by two health centres in the vicinity, with the nearest hospital about 5.2 km away. Public transport runs on six lines with roughly 50 stops in the area, sufficient for occasional trips along the coast, though most residents use a car for Estepona town or Marbella. For recreation, the RozaRossa Tennis and Padel Club is 900 metres away, and the El Campanario clubhouse with its nine-hole course and courts is within walking distance. Evening life can extend to Puerto Banús, 6.6 km east, without needing to live amid its congestion.

Approximate area · exact address shared on request
El Paraiso occupies the western end of the New Golden Mile, placing it roughly midway between Estepona town and Marbella, with Puerto Banús 6.6 km to the east. This position means residents can reach either town's services and dining within 15 to 20 minutes while living in a lower-density residential setting. Compared with central Estepona or Marbella, the area trades urban intensity for golf-course surroundings and quieter streets; compared with Benahavís inland, it trades mountain elevation for flat, coastal walking. The proximity of an international school at 800 metres distinguishes it from more purely resort-oriented zones along the coast.
Distances from the complex are as follows: Playa Isdabe beach is 1.3 km, Salduna 1.4 km and Playa del Saladillo 1.7 km, all reachable on foot or by bicycle on flat terrain. Golf is the closest amenity of all: El Campanario Golf Course at 0.3 km and El Paraíso Golf Club at roughly 1.0 km. Estepona town and Marbella are connected via the A-7 coastal road and the AP-7 toll motorway. Two airports serve the area: Gibraltar at approximately 46 km straight-line distance, generally under an hour by road, and Malaga-Costa del Sol at roughly 52 km straight-line, about 50 to 60 minutes by car. For electric vehicles, the nearest charging point is 1.8 km away, with Tesla Superchargers in Estepona (3.8 km) and Marbella (9.5 km).

The location records an average annual temperature of 19.2°C, with monthly averages ranging from about 12°C in winter to 26°C in summer, a range that avoids the extreme summer heat of inland Andalusia. Historical sunshine totals reach approximately 3,856 hours per year, among the highest in Spain, supporting year-round terrace and garden use of the kind this ground-floor layout provides. The swimming season, defined by sea temperatures at or above 20°C, lasts about five months, typically May or June through October. The site sits at 25 metres above sea level with a gradient to the beach of only 1.4 percent, meaning the walk to the coast involves virtually no incline. Natural viewpoints such as Mirador de la Charca de los Tubos (4.4 km) and Mirador del Tajo del Novio (4.9 km) offer walking destinations inland.

Three beaches lie within 1.7 km: Playa Isdabe at 1.3 km, Salduna at 1.4 km and Playa Atalaya at 1.7 km, giving residents a choice of access points along this stretch of coast. Golf is the defining recreation of the immediate area, El Campanario (0.3 km), El Paraíso Golf Club (1.0 km) and the El Paraiso Clubhouse (1.1 km) form a cluster around the complex, with further courses along the coast. Racket sports are covered by the RozaRossa Tennis and Padel Club at 0.9 km. The El Campanario Clubhouse itself adds tennis and paddle courts alongside its nine-hole course. For water-based recreation beyond the beach, Puerto Deportivo José Banús marina is 6.6 km away. The high hotel bed count in the area (24 hotels, roughly 6,900 beds) indicates a well-served tourist infrastructure with restaurants and leisure open through the year.

Within the Costa del Sol market, this apartment occupies a different segment from the newer off-plan developments used as comparables. Aquamar in Torre del Mar starts at €269,950 and Lantana Residencial in Mijas at €205,000, both eastern locations further from the Estepona, Marbella corridor, while Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona starts at €269,000. At €580,000 for 112 m², this unit is priced around €5,180 per square metre, roughly two to three times the entry price of those developments, but the comparison is not like-for-like. Those projects involve purchase off-plan with delivery some years ahead and typically smaller units; here the buyer acquires a completed, five-year-old property with a private garden, garage space and storage room included, in an established complex of 64 units. Location differentiates further: El Paraiso sits between three golf courses within one kilometre, an international school at 800 metres and Puerto Banús at 6.6 km. Buyers comparing value should weigh what the premium buys: immediate availability and inspectable condition versus new-build warranties; a ground-floor garden versus a higher floor with views; and the New Golden Mile position versus emerging eastern markets. Regional transaction data shows 3,163 property transactions in the area, indicating an active resale market, which matters for future liquidity. The western Costa del Sol also benefits from dual airport access, Gibraltar at 46 km and Malaga at 52 km, a flexibility that eastern comparables lack, since they depend almost entirely on Malaga airport.
