The Sanctuary Villas represents a completed development of detached villas in the El Campanario district of Estepona. The project is move-in ready, offering a golf-front setting adjacent to the El Campanario Golf Course. These residences are constructed as modern, energy-efficient family homes spanning three floors. The location provides a balance between the privacy of a golf-side setting and proximity to urban amenities along the N-340 coast road. The property falls under the municipality of Málaga and is situated a short distance from the coastline of the Costa del Sol.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The development is situated in El Campanario, a residential neighborhood on the western side of Estepona. The site is defined by its direct boundary with the golf course, providing open views. The elevation is approximately 15 meters above sea level, featuring a gentle slope toward the coast. The environment is urban, characterized by a mix of permanent residents and tourism. From the location, there is access to the N-340, connecting to Marbella in the east and Gibraltar in the west.
The home meets the demand for modern villa architecture with three fully functional living levels. The layout includes four bedrooms and five bathrooms, distributed across the ground floor, first floor, and a basement. The basement is functionally equipped with a cinema, gym, and spa area, contributing to the living experience without overcrowding the main living areas. The inclusion of a private swimming pool and multiple terraces offers opportunities for outdoor living within the private confines of the property.
This project consists of fully completed new build homes (Construction Status: Completed). As such, the homes are immediately available for occupation, and finish levels and materials can be experienced in person. There is no remaining construction risk or lead time. Technical installations, including air conditioning and underfloor heating, are fully operational. The spa facilities in the basement are finished and ready for use.
The home is classified as 'car dependent'. This means an automobile is necessary for daily mobility, despite the presence of walkable amenities such as a supermarket and sports center. The coastline and beach are approximately 800 meters to 1.7 kilometers away; while walkable for some, the infrastructure and distance typically necessitate driving. The golf-side location implies that maintenance activities occur in the surrounding environment.

This home suits families or couples requiring more space than an apartment offers while maintaining neighborhood amenities. The layout with bedrooms on different levels provides privacy for family members or guests. The fully equipped basement with gym and cinema makes the project relevant for residents spending significant time at home, in both winter and summer. It is also an option for those preferring a move-in ready home without the wait times of under-construction projects. The golf-side location adds value for golf enthusiasts, but the home is not exclusively for them.
The home is built using modern construction methods. The foundation consists of a reinforced concrete slab (HA-25), and the structure utilizes metal pillars and waffle slabs for stability. Facades are insulated with 60mm Acustilaine 70 mineral panels for thermal and acoustic insulation. Interior walls are built using galvanized steel profile structures with plasterboard, ensuring a sleek finish. Floors feature underfloor heating and are finished with large ceramic tiles (70x70 cm) or laminate vinyl in bedrooms. Bathrooms include high-quality sanitary ware, and the kitchen is fitted with appliances. The finishing is neutral and modern, focused on ease of maintenance.
The starting price for a home in this project is €1,790,000. This price level reflects the status of a detached villa, the plot size of approximately 471 m², and the finishings including wellness facilities. Compared to apartments in the same area, the price is significantly higher, correlating with the exclusivity and space provided. The pricing is competitive with similar developments like Aurea Villas (€1,550,000) and Seven Diamonds (€1,530,000), but lower than Villas Azahar (€1,975,000). Availability is limited to the specific inventory on offer.
Daily life in El Campanario is characterized by a mix of quiet residential living and access to facilities. The presence of 50 restaurants and various cafes within a 2-kilometer radius provides dining options without driving. The fitness space within the home, combined with nearby gyms like Better Bodies (400m), makes the area suitable for active residents. Proximity to supermarkets and pharmacies ensures household practicality. The neighborhood has an urban character with traffic on connector roads, but the golf-side location offers a visual buffer and noise reduction at the rear. Evenings are generally quiet, with options for visiting local eateries.
The Estepona region has an average annual temperature of 19.2°C, facilitating outdoor living for most of the year. With 3,848 hours of sunshine annually, daylight is abundant. El Campanario has a high level of amenities, including numerous schools in the wider region, making it attractive for families. The presence of 134 sports facilities in the municipality highlights the active nature of the environment. La Rada Beach is nearby and holds the 'Blue Flag' status, indicating good water quality and cleanliness. The backdrop of the Sierra Bermeja mountains and the sea creates a varied landscape.
The map displays the position of The Sanctuary Villas relative to the El Campanario Golf Course and the N-340. Distances to beaches and harbors are indicative as the crow flies. Green zones represent the golf course and gardens. The blue line represents the coastline.
El Campanario is centrally located between Marbella (east) and Estepona (west). This allows utilizing amenities from both cities. The distance to the vibrant Puerto Banús is approximately a 10-15 minute drive, making it accessible for shopping and nightlife without living amidst it. The location is strategic for frequent travelers given the proximity to two international airports. It is an 'in-between' location offering peace with proximity to activity.
The nearest beach (La Rada) is 0.8 km away as the crow flies. Málaga Airport is 64 km away, and Gibraltar Airport is 36 km away as the crow flies. The A-7 and AP-7 motorways are accessible via the N-340, potentially keeping travel time to Málaga around 30 minutes. Several golf courses are nearby: El Campanario Golf Course (154 m), El Paraíso Golf Club (approx. 900 m), and Azata Golf (5.1 km). The port of Estepona is 1.7 km away. Public transport is available, but a car remains necessary for most mobility.

The location lies at the foot of the Sierra Bermeja, a mountain range reaching 1,449 meters in height. This provides a sheltered position from northern winds. The slope toward the beach is minimal at 1.9%, making the terrain accessible. The climate features mild winters and warm summers, with a swimming season of 5 months (water temp ≥20°C). The high sunlight hours favor solar energy usage. The fertile valley in which Estepona sits ensures a greener environment than the drier coastal areas further east.

Compared to projects like Aurea Villas and Seven Diamonds, The Sanctuary Villas offers a more extensive package of internal wellness facilities (cinema, sauna) in the basement. While Villas Azahar commands a higher price point (from €1.975m), this project sits in a slightly lower segment without compromising on plot size. The location in El Campanario is more central than the periphery of Estepona, benefiting travel times to Marbella. Unlike apartments in the area, this villa type offers more privacy and no communal living spaces outside one's own garden.
