A development of 40 new-build residences is under construction in El Paraiso, a residential area on the western edge of Estepona near the Marbella boundary. The project comprises two-storey villas and penthouses with three to five bedrooms, two to four bathrooms and built sizes from 197 to 305 square metres. Prices range from €829,000 to €1,200,000, depending on the property type and specification. Delivery is indicatively planned for the fourth quarter of 2026. The site sits within walking and short-driving distance of several golf courses, beaches and the amenities of the New Golden Mile.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
El Paraiso lies east of Estepona town and directly west of the Marbella boundary, in the corridor often called the New Golden Mile. Puerto Banús is an eight-minute drive away. Three golf clubs sit within roughly one kilometre, and the nearest beach, Playa Isdabe, is 1.3 km away as the crow flies. Marbella centre is 14 km straight-line from the location.
The residences are configured as two-storey homes with ensuite bathrooms, fitted wardrobes, a fully fitted open kitchen-lounge, covered and private terraces, storage rooms and private parking. Heating and cooling air conditioning is included. Each home has a private pool, with a communal pool also available within the development. A gym is provided on site.
Construction is currently under way. The development consists of 40 homes in total, with completion indicatively scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2026. Buyers purchase off-plan or during the construction phase, which means delivery dates remain subject to the building schedule and standard construction-phase conditions apply. The first full summer season after delivery would follow in 2027.
The project does not include direct beachfront access; the nearest beach lies 1.3 km away in a straight line. There is no on-site international school, though The International School of Estepona is 0.8 km away. A car remains the practical means of transport for most daily trips. The project name and detailed plot data have not been published, and completion dates are indicative only.

The development fits several recognisable buyer situations. A household relocating permanently to the Costa del Sol will find a workable setup: an international school within one kilometre, two health centres in the wider area, and a full amenity base within a two-kilometre radius. Buyers seeking a second home for extended summer stays and off-season getaways benefit from the flat coastal terrain, a five-month swimming season and air conditioning for both warm and cool periods. Golf-focused buyers are served by three courses within little more than a kilometre, plus padel and tennis at RozaRossa. Those who want proximity to the Marbella scene without living in it can reach Puerto Banús in eight minutes by car while returning to a quieter villa district afterwards. Buyers who need immediate occupation should note that delivery is not expected before late 2026; this project suits those planning one to two years ahead. Households without a car will find the six public transport lines and 50 stops in the area useful for some trips, but daily life here is organised around driving. Finally, buyers with a budget anchored to entry-level new-build pricing on the coast should be aware this development starts at €829,000, considerably above comparable projects further east in Torre del Mar, Mijas or central Estepona.
The developer positions the residences at a premium finishing level, and the published specification supports a substantial standard. Kitchens are fully fitted and open onto the lounge, creating a single living-cooking space that suits both daily use and entertaining. Bedrooms include fitted wardrobes, and the master bedroom has an ensuite bathroom, a practical layout feature for households sharing the home with guests or older children. Climate control covers both hot and cold air conditioning, which matters given summer temperatures that average around 26 °C and winter months that drop to an average of 12 °C. Outdoor space is treated as usable floor area: each home has a private terrace plus a covered terrace, the latter allowing shade in summer and shelter during the milder winter months. The renderings accompanying the project show minimalist interiors with clean-lined joinery, neutral finishes and modern sanitary ware, consistent with the premium positioning. Storage is addressed with a dedicated storage room, and parking with private parking on the plot. A private pool belongs to each residence, supplemented by a communal pool within the grounds, and a gym is available on site. Views are oriented towards the sea and the mountains, with garden and pool views from the lower levels. As with any off-plan purchase, the definitive specification is set out in the purchase contract, and finishes shown in marketing renders serve as indication rather than binding commitment.
The price range across the development runs from €829,000 to €1,200,000. This span reflects the mix of property types and sizes: homes measure between 197 and 305 square metres of built area, with three to five bedrooms and two to four bathrooms. At the entry level, buyers acquire a three-bedroom, two-bathroom home of 197 square metres. Higher price points correspond to the larger villas and penthouses with additional bedrooms and bathrooms. Each residence includes a private pool, private parking and a storage room as standard. Because the project is under construction, purchases are made off-plan against the published price list, with delivery indicatively in the fourth quarter of 2026.
Daily life in El Paraiso follows the rhythm of a low-rise residential golf district rather than a town centre. The area sits at roughly 25 metres above sea level on flat terrain, with a 1.4 per cent gradient towards the coast, meaning the walk or short drive to the beach involves no significant climbing. Mornings can reasonably start with a round at El Campanario Golf Course, 0.3 km away, or El Paraíso Golf Club at one kilometre, followed by lunch at one of the 31 restaurants within a two-kilometre radius. The supermarket, pharmacy and banking needs of a household are covered within that same radius: four pharmacies, three banks and one school are recorded nearby. For sport beyond golf, the RozaRossa Tennis and Padel Club lies 0.9 km from the site. The area is quiet in character, shaped by villa neighbourhoods, golf greens and hotel grounds, 24 hotels with nearly 7,000 beds sit in the wider zone, which brings seasonal activity in summer and a calmer pace from late autumn to spring. Evenings tend to centre on the terrace: the homes are oriented for sea and mountain views, and the covered terrace extends usable hours into the cooler months. Puerto Banús, six to seven minutes away by car, supplies marina-side dining, shopping and nightlife when a change of scene is wanted, while Estepona town offers everyday services at a similar distance in the other direction.
The immediate surroundings combine three golf environments, El Campanario at 0.3 km, El Paraíso Golf Club at 1.0 km and its clubhouse at 1.1 km, with residential streets and hotel grounds. Everyday amenities are concentrated within two kilometres: 31 restaurants, six cafés, four pharmacies, three banks, a dentist and a school. The International School of Estepona, 0.8 km away, covers international education needs for families. Beach access is straightforward given the flat terrain: Playa Isdabe at 1.3 km as the crow flies, Salduna at 1.4 km and Playa Atalaya at 1.7 km offer three options within a few minutes' drive. Road distances will be longer than the straight-line figures. For excursions, two viewpoints, Mirador de la Charca de los Tubos at 4.4 km and Mirador del Tajo del Novio at 4.9 km, provide walking destinations in the surrounding countryside. Electric-vehicle owners can charge at the Supercharger in Estepona, 3.8 km away, or at the Marbella Supercharger 9.5 km away. The area records 3,163 housing transactions per year, indicating an active but not overheated local market.

Approximate area · exact address shared on request
El Paraiso occupies a specific position on the Costa del Sol: east of Estepona municipality and immediately west of the Marbella boundary, in the band known as the New Golden Mile. This places it closer to Puerto Banús and Marbella than most of Estepona's own new-build supply, while retaining Estepona's lower density and lower price base than central Marbella. Within the regional hierarchy, Marbella (147,958 inhabitants) at 14 km is the nearest full-service city, Málaga (579,076 inhabitants) lies 61 km to the east, and Algeciras (121,957 inhabitants) is 53 km to the southwest.
Accessibility by car is the strongest asset of this location. Puerto Deportivo José Banús lies 6.6 km away in a straight line, roughly an eight-minute drive, and Marbella centre is 14 km from the site. Estepona town is reachable in a comparable distance in the opposite direction. Two airports serve the area: Gibraltar at approximately 46 km and Malaga-Costa del Sol at roughly 52 km straight-line, with actual driving distances and times longer, Málaga airport is the main international gateway and typically reached in under an hour by car. Public transport exists in the form of six lines and 50 stops in the surrounding area, sufficient for occasional trips but not for a car-free daily routine. Within the neighbourhood itself, the amenity density is high: golf, an international school, tennis and padel, pharmacies and restaurants all sit within a two-kilometre radius, so most daily errands involve short drives rather than long journeys.

The climate data points to a classic Mediterranean profile. The average annual temperature is 19.2 °C, with monthly averages ranging from 12 °C in the coolest months to 26 °C in summer. The swimming season extends to five months with sea temperatures of 20 °C or above, which aligns with the private pool and the beaches within two kilometres. The site sits at 25 metres above sea level with a 1.4 per cent gradient to the coast, effectively flat terrain, relevant for older residents and for cycling or walking to the beach. The elevation also means the homes sit above the immediate coastal strip while remaining well below the hillside developments further inland, producing the combined sea and mountain views the developer describes. Nature options nearby include the two miradores at 4.4 and 4.9 km, which look out over local wetland and gorge landscapes.

Three beaches lie within two kilometres: Playa Isdabe at 1.3 km, Salduna at 1.4 km and Playa Atalaya at 1.7 km, all measured in a straight line. This stretch of coast between Estepona and Marbella carries a mix of chiringuitos and hotel beach clubs, consistent with the 24 hotels and nearly 7,000 tourist beds recorded in the area. Recreation beyond the beach is dominated by golf, three clubs within 1.1 km, and by racquet sports at the RozaRossa Tennis and Padel Club, 0.9 km away. The development's own gym and private pool add on-site options. For nautical recreation, Puerto Deportivo José Banús at 6.6 km offers mooring-related services, sailing excursions and waterfront dining. The regional tourism infrastructure means the area is busiest in July and August and considerably quieter from November to April, which residents can factor into how they plan visits and rentals.

Within the wider Costa del Sol new-build market, this development occupies a clearly defined segment. The entry price of €829,000 sits well above the comparable projects recorded in the region: Aquamar in Torre del Mar starts at €269,950, Lantana Residencial in Mijas at €205,000 and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona at €321,000. The difference is explained partly by product type, villas and penthouses with private pools rather than apartments, and partly by location. El Paraiso sits on the New Golden Mile, minutes from Puerto Banús, which commands a price level distinct from the eastern Costa del Sol around Torre del Mar or the inland-lying phases of Mijas. Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona shows the price gap even within the same municipality: central and western Estepona new-build apartments trade at roughly a third of the starting price here, reflecting both format and micro-location differences. What the location offers in return is proximity: three golf clubs within 1.1 km, an international school at 0.8 km, and Marbella's marina district at an eight-minute drive. Marbella itself, at 14 km, remains the benchmark for this stretch of coast, and buyers comparing options will typically weigh El Paraiso's quieter villa environment and lower density against the higher prices and older housing stock of central Marbella. The local market records 3,163 transactions per year, indicating sustained turnover in the zone. For buyers whose budget allows the entry price, the comparison is less with entry-level coastal apartments and more with resale villas in the same corridor, where age, renovation needs and layout become the differentiating factors against new construction delivered in 2026.
