Aby Middle is a new residential development under construction in Estepona, Málaga. The project consists of 72 energy-efficient apartments situated next to Estepona Golf and Azata Golf, located at an elevation of approximately 111 meters above sea level. This elevated position provides panoramic views of the coastline and the Sierra Bermeja mountains. With an estimated completion date in Q3 2027, the development offers modern living conditions with amenities such as communal pools, coworking spaces, and electric vehicle charging, catering to buyers seeking a permanent residence, holiday home, or investment property in a tranquil yet connected environment.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The project is situated in a developing residential area on the western side of Estepona, bordering the Azata Golf course. The location at 111 meters above sea level ensures sea views and natural ventilation, though it implies a moderate incline down to the coast. The proximity to the N-340 national road allows for quick regional connections, but also means some traffic noise is present in the vicinity.
The layouts are designed for functionality, suitable for couples or small families. The inclusion of a lift in the building is a practical asset for accessibility. The terraces serve as functional extensions of the living space, designed to maximize the southern orientation and views. The inclusion of a storage room and parking space with each unit addresses practical storage needs.
Construction is currently underway with an indicative handover in Q3 2027. The build utilizes modern construction methods, including integrated aerothermal systems for climate control. Buyers should account for standard construction timelines and potential delays typical for new developments in the region.
This project is not beachfront; the nearest natural beaches are over 2.8 kilometers away. A car is necessary for daily errands despite a restaurant being within walking distance. The elevation of the building may result in higher wind exposure compared to sea-level properties. The surroundings are primarily car-oriented, limiting walkability to the town center.
This project fits buyers who value outdoor activities like golf and hiking and prefer a quiet setting over the hustle of a tourist center. It is suitable for those prioritizing a new apartment with modern installations (A/C, lift) over an older property in the historic center. Investors will find rental potential due to the golf course proximity, though tenants will require a car to reach the beach. Those seeking a lively environment with direct walkable access to bars and restaurants may find this location too quiet.
The finishing level is modern and energy-efficient. All homes come with a fully fitted kitchen including appliances such as an induction hob, oven, fridge, and dishwasher. A key technical feature is the individual aerothermal system providing hot water and ducted air conditioning throughout the property. This ensures high comfort and lower operating costs. Apartments feature large sliding doors connecting the living area to the terrace. Bathrooms are finished with modern sanitary ware, and floors are tiled with ceramics suitable for the Mediterranean climate. Exteriorly, the design includes landscaped gardens and communal pools.
Prices for apartments in Aby Middle start from €292,000. This represents an entry price for new construction in Estepona with golf views. For this price, buyers typically get a two-bedroom apartment of approximately 103 m², including an underground parking space and storage room. Pricing is lower than beachfront projects, reflecting the distance to the coast. The price per square meter aligns with current market values for new builds on the west side of Estepona. Buyers should budget for additional costs like VAT (IVA), notary fees, and registration fees, which are usually excluded from the sales price.
Daily life at Aby Middle is characterized by a blend of quiet golf resort living and proximity to a bustling coastal town. Mornings start with views over the golf course towards the Mediterranean, with the sun illuminating the south-facing terraces. The immediate environment is auto-oriented; for groceries or a trip to Estepona's beaches, a vehicle is essential. In the evenings, the proximity to Estepona Golf allows for dining at nearby clubhouses without needing to drive into the tourist center. The location outside the town center means less tourist traffic in the street itself, but creates a dependency on the car for social and cultural activities.
The surroundings of Aby Middle are dominated by the golf course and the broader Costa del Sol region. Estepona has approximately 80,000 inhabitants and offers a full range of amenities, from hospitals to international schools. Immediately surrounding the project, amenities are limited to a supermarket at 1.3 km and a few restaurants. The presence of two hospitals within a short distance (550m and 4km) is a significant advantage for medical care. The environment is safe and quiet but requires a car for most activities.
The map shows Aby Middle directly bordering Azata Golf and Estepona Golf. Notable is the relative distance to the beach (blue line) and the direct link to the N-340. The green zones around the project indicate the natural environment.
Estepona is located on the western Costa del Sol in the province of Málaga. The project lies just outside the town center, enjoying the tranquility of the countryside while being close to the city. Compared to the east (Marbella), Estepona is traditionally more authentic and affordable. The distance to Marbella is about a 25-minute drive, allowing access to its amenities without residing there.
Aby Middle is accessible via the N-340 coastal road. Málaga Airport is 31 km away (approx. 45-minute drive), and Gibraltar Airport is even closer at 34 km as the crow flies. The nearest beach (Playa del Cristo) is 3.3 km away; however, the route involves the highway and town traffic, making travel time longer than the distance suggests. For daily shopping, a supermarket is available 1.3 km away, though this is usually done by car due to distance and lack of sidewalks.
