This detached Andalusian-style villa stands in the established residential area of El Paraiso, between Estepona and Marbella on the Costa del Sol. The property offers 345 m² of living space on a private plot of 1,110 m², with four bedrooms and six bathrooms spread across two levels. Originally completed in 1970 and since fully renovated, the house includes a private spa with sauna, Turkish steam bath and gym, a heated swimming pool with separate jacuzzi, and a self-contained apartment on the lower level. The asking price is fixed at €3,295,000.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
El Paraiso is a consolidated residential urbanisation on the western Costa del Sol, roughly 14 km from Marbella as the crow flies. Golf courses sit within a kilometre, the nearest beach at Playa Isdabe is 1.3 km straight-line, and Puerto Banús marina lies 6.6 km away. The setting is green, low-rise and primarily residential.
The villa suits households seeking space and privacy rather than apartment living. Four en-suite bedrooms accommodate family or guests, while the separate lower-level apartment allows independent use. Wellness facilities, a heated pool and a walled Mediterranean garden support year-round residential use, not only seasonal visits.
This is an existing, key-ready home, not a new-build development. It was completed in 1970 and has since undergone a full renovation, indicated as being in excellent condition. Delivery is immediate upon purchase; no construction phase or indicative completion dates apply. Interior finishes blend traditional Andalusian elements with contemporary materials.
The property does not offer sea views; recorded views are limited to the garden and pool. There is no mention of underfloor heating, a smart-home system or a garage in the listed features, and the plot is flat and enclosed rather than elevated. Buyers should verify parking arrangements and any community rules independently.

This property fits several recognisable situations. A family relocating to the Costa del Sol permanently will find four en-suite bedrooms, an international school within walking distance and healthcare centres in the wider area. Households that regularly host guests or adult children benefit from the separate lower-level apartment, which functions independently of the main residence. Buyers prioritising wellness infrastructure over proximity to nightlife may value the private spa, sauna, Turkish bath and gym, particularly those who use the house year-round rather than seasonally. The heated pool and jacuzzi extend outdoor use into the cooler months, when average monthly temperatures range around 12°C in winter. The villa is less obviously suited to buyers seeking a lock-and-go holiday apartment, a frontline beach position or panoramic sea views; the recorded views are of the garden and pool, and the beach is just over a kilometre away. It also assumes a budget above three million euros, which places it in a different segment from the newer apartment developments in Estepona and Mijas. For owners of electric vehicles, two Supercharger locations within ten kilometres support regional travel, while Gibraltar and Málaga airports are both reachable by car.
The house combines original Andalusian architectural elements with a contemporary renovation. Externally, the property retains whitewashed façades, arched openings and terracotta roof tiles, in keeping with the traditional character of the El Paraiso urbanisation. Inside, the renovation has introduced modern fittings while preserving features such as vaulted ceilings with exposed wooden beams in the main living area. The kitchen is fully equipped, with dark cabinetry and a central island topped with a marble worktop. All four bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms, fitted wardrobes and natural-toned contemporary finishes. Climate control covers both hot and cold air conditioning, and satellite television is installed. The lower level houses the technical and wellness infrastructure: a sauna, a Turkish steam bath, a private gym and a storage room, together with the separate apartment. Outdoor features include a heated swimming pool, a jacuzzi, a covered terrace and mature planting with tall privacy hedges around the 1,110 m² plot. As with any renovated property from this era, the underlying structure dates from the original build. Buyers are advised to commission an independent technical survey to assess insulation, electrical installations and plumbing, and to verify which renovation works carry guarantees and when they were carried out. The listed condition is excellent and recently renovated, but documentation should confirm scope and dates.
The villa is offered at a fixed asking price of €3,295,000. This is an existing, completed property, so there is no price list, no tiering by unit type and no reservation structure typical of off-plan developments. The price reflects a fully renovated villa with a private spa, heated pool, guest apartment and a plot of 1,110 m² in an established golf-side urbanisation. Availability is immediate in principle, subject to the seller's situation. Buyers should budget separately for purchase costs, including transfer tax, notary and registry fees, which are not included in the asking price. Annual costs such as IBI and community fees, if applicable, should be verified during due diligence.
Daily life in this villa revolves around its private grounds and the rhythm of the surrounding urbanisation. Mornings can begin on the covered terrace adjoining the pool, with the heated water extending swimming beyond the summer months. The open-plan living and dining area, with vaulted ceilings and exposed beams, connects through large glass doors to the terraces, so indoor and outdoor use merge for most of the year given the region's average annual temperature of 19.2°C. The layout works for a permanently resident family as well as for extended stays with guests. Each of the four bedrooms has its own bathroom, which reduces scheduling pressure in a full household. The lower level contains the spa, a gym and a separate apartment connected to the main house, allowing visiting family or staff to stay independently without passing through the principal living spaces. Outside the plot, the immediate surroundings are calm and green. El Campanario Golf Course lies 300 metres away as the crow flies, and El Paraíso Golf Club about a kilometre. For daily needs, the area intelligence shows 31 restaurants, four pharmacies, three banks and six cafés within two kilometres, plus an international school 800 metres away. The flat 1.4% gradient to the beach makes walking and cycling to Playa Isdabe, 1.3 km straight-line, realistic for most residents. A car remains the practical choice for Marbella, Estepona town or the airport, but the density of local amenities reduces dependence on it for everyday errands.
El Paraiso sits in the belt of established residential urbanisations between Estepona and Benahavís, inland of the coastal road. The immediate environment is green and quiet, structured around golf courses and low-rise housing rather than hotel strips, although the wider area records 24 hotels and nearly 7,000 tourist beds, meaning summer months bring noticeably more traffic and activity near the coast. Practical infrastructure is close. Within two kilometres there are 31 restaurants, six cafés, four pharmacies, three banks, a dentist and a school, which supports full-time residence without constant car journeys. The International School of Estepona is 800 metres away as the crow flies, and the area counts 19 primary schools and 10 secondary schools in total, with two health centres serving the district. Sporting facilities cluster nearby: RozaRossa Tennis and Padel Club is 900 metres away, and two golf clubs lie within a kilometre. Public transport covers six lines with 50 stops in the area, workable for local trips, though a car remains the standard mode for Marbella, Estepona centre or airport runs. Annual housing transactions in the area number around 3,163, indicating an active resale market.
The map shows the villa's position in El Paraiso, immediately west of the golf courses and about 1.3 km straight-line from the coast at Playa Isdabe. Marbella lies 14 km to the east and Estepona centre to the west, with two international airports at 46 and 52 km. Distances shown are direct, as the crow flies.

El Paraiso occupies a middle position on the western Costa del Sol, between Estepona town and the Marbella, Puerto Banús axis, 14 km from Marbella as the crow flies and 61 km from Málaga city. This places the villa in one of the coast's most established low-density residential zones, defined by golf courses rather than high-rise development. Algeciras, 53 km away, and Gibraltar Airport, 46 km away, connect the area to the Campo de Gibraltar and southern options for travel.
Distances below are straight-line; road distances are longer. The nearest beach, Playa Isdabe, is 1.3 km away on a flat 1.4% gradient, with Salduna at 1.4 km and Playa Atalaya at 1.7 km. Golf is the closest amenity of all: El Campanario Golf Course is 300 metres away and El Paraíso Golf Club one kilometre. Puerto Deportivo José Banús marina is 6.6 km away, and Marbella itself 14 km. Gibraltar Airport is roughly 46 km distant and Malaga-Costa del Sol about 52 km, giving a choice of two airports within an hour's drive; Alicante, at 443 km, is not a practical option. Electric-vehicle charging is available at Supercharger Estepona, 3.8 km away, and Marbella Supercharger at 9.5 km. Public transport runs on six lines with 50 stops locally, but regional mobility is car-based in practice.

The villa sits at roughly 25 metres above sea level on flat terrain, with a gentle 1.4% gradient toward the coast. The climate is Mediterranean: average monthly temperatures range from about 12°C in the coolest months to 26°C in summer, with an annual mean of 19.2°C. This supports outdoor use of the pool and terraces for most of the year, which the heated pool and jacuzzi reinforce during the shoulder seasons. The swimming season, defined by sea temperatures of 20°C or more, lasts around five months. Rainfall is concentrated in the winter half-year, while summers are dry and sunny. The flat surroundings and mature garden vegetation make the outdoor spaces usable without the stair climbs found in hillside urbanisations. Nature excursions are available at Mirador de la Charca de los Tubos, 4.4 km away, and Mirador del Tajo del Novio at 4.9 km.

Three beaches lie within walking or short cycling distance: Playa Isdabe at 1.3 km straight-line, Salduna at 1.4 km and Playa Atalaya at 1.7 km, all reachable on the flat coastal terrain. Golf dominates the immediate recreational offer, with El Campanario Golf Course 300 metres away, El Paraíso Golf Club at one kilometre and its clubhouse just beyond. Racquet sports are covered by RozaRossa Tennis and Padel Club, 900 metres away. For water-based leisure, Puerto Deportivo José Banús is 6.6 km distant, offering berths, dining and boat trips. Two viewpoints within five kilometres, at la Charca de los Tubos and del Tajo del Novio, provide access to the natural surroundings inland of the coastal strip. The tourist infrastructure in the wider area, with 24 hotels and roughly 6,900 beds, means seasonal crowding on beaches in July and August, while the rest of the year is considerably quieter.

At €3,295,000, this villa occupies a different segment from the new-build apartment developments currently defining much of the Costa del Sol's sales market. Comparable projects such as Aquamar in Torre del Mar (from €269,950), Lantana Residencial in Mijas (from €205,000) and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona (from €321,000) are off-plan or recently delivered apartment complexes aimed at buyers seeking smaller footprints at entry-level pricing. This property instead competes in the resale villa market of the established golf urbanisations between Estepona and Benahavís, where plot size, privacy and wellness infrastructure carry the value. The distinction matters practically. Apartment buyers accept community living, shared pools and monthly community fees in exchange for lower entry prices and lock-and-go convenience. Villa buyers at this level pay for land, independence and interior volume, in this case four en-suite bedrooms, a guest apartment, a spa and a heated pool on a fully enclosed plot. The area records around 3,163 housing transactions per year, indicating liquid resale activity, and El Paraiso's positioning between Marbella (14 km) and Estepona gives it access to both municipal markets. Compared with hillside villa zones such as Benahavís or La Zagaleta further inland, El Paraiso is flatter and closer to the coast: 25 metres above sea level with a 1.4% gradient to the beach, making daily life more walkable and cycling feasible. The trade-off is the absence of elevated sea views; recorded views here are of the garden and pool. Buyers choosing between this property and a new-build apartment elsewhere on the coast are effectively choosing between renovation quality on a large established plot and modern specification in a communal setting.
