Sunway Residence is an under-construction development in Estepona, Málaga, comprising 48 apartments across three floors. Designed by architectural studio Villarroel, the project includes 2 and 3-bedroom apartments as well as penthouses. Key features include spacious terraces and south/southwest orientations, providing abundant natural light and views of the surrounding golf course and sea. Completion is scheduled for Q4 2026.
Compared to projects like Acqua Gardens (from €418,800) and Azure Estepona (from €530,000), Sunway Residence positions itself in the mid-range with a focus on outdoor space and golf privileges. While Acqua Gardens focuses on an 'urban' concept in the city center, Sunway offers the benefits of a residential district on the city's edge, closer to golf courses and with more privacy. Prices start higher than Acqua Gardens, reflecting the included parking and larger terraces. Compared to Capri (from €520,000), Sunway is in a similar class but benefits from direct proximity to Azata Golf and the hospital.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The project is situated in an established urban area in Estepona, close to essential amenities like hospitals and schools. The location balances residential comfort with direct access to local infrastructure. The nearby A7 coastal highway ensures easy connectivity to surrounding towns and airports. The immediate surroundings feature a mix of low-rise buildings and green spaces.
The layouts are designed for practical living, clearly separating living and sleeping areas. Open-plan kitchens are fully fitted, enhancing the sense of space. Each unit includes a private balcony or terrace, seamlessly extending the living area outdoors. A storage room and underground parking space are included with every apartment, contributing to a clutter-free living environment.
Construction is currently underway with indicative delivery set for Q4 2026. The project features modern specifications such as pre-installed air conditioning and energy-efficient measures. The complex is gated and offers a communal swimming pool with a relaxation zone. The construction consists of low-density blocks designed to maximize privacy and sunlight.
This location is car-dependent; while some amenities are within walking distance, a vehicle is necessary for reaching the beach and further amenities. Situated at 111 meters above sea level, there is a moderate incline to reach the coastal areas. It is an urban development, meaning it offers less isolation than standalone country villas.
This project suits buyers seeking a permanent residence in Estepona that is close to urban amenities yet offers views and tranquility. It is also a viable option for investors looking for an off-plan property near golf and beaches. Families will appreciate the nearby educational and healthcare facilities. It is less suited for those relying solely on public transport or seeking a remote, isolated villa.
The finishing touches are modern and neutral, designed for longevity. Kitchens are fully equipped and integrated. Bathrooms are complete. Energy efficiency is a priority, reflected in the insulation and HVAC systems. Large sliding doors not only provide light but are also high-quality to regulate indoor temperatures. Communal areas like the pool and gardens are designed for low maintenance and high utility.
Prices for apartments at Sunway Residence start from €495,000. Variations in price depend on the unit type (apartment vs. penthouse), terrace size, and position within the complex. Penthouses typically command higher prices and offer increased outdoor space and double parking spaces. The listed price is inclusive of a parking space and storage room.
Daily life at Sunway Residence revolves around convenience and outdoor living. Mornings can start with breakfast on the terrace, followed by a short walk to the supermarket. The proximity to a hospital and schools adds a layer of practicality for families. The presence of Azata Golf nearby allows for frequent sports activities without long commutes. In the evenings, the terraces serve as a relaxation spot with views of the mountains or sea, taking advantage of the southwest orientation.
The environment offers a direct link to the Costa del Sol lifestyle. Estepona provides a historic center and marina about 4 km away. Daily groceries are accessible at nearby supermarkets. The proximity to Azata Golf and Estepona Golf makes it attractive for golf enthusiasts. The coastline, with beaches like Playa del Cristo, is a short drive away, offering a mix of golf-side living and seaside recreation.

Estepona is located in the western part of the Costa del Sol, in the province of Málaga. It successfully combines traditional Andalusian atmosphere with modern tourist infrastructure. Sunway Residence is in the Nueva Atalaya area, bordering Valle Romano Golf. Its position is west of Marbella and Puerto Banús, meaning it is slightly removed from the high intensity of those hubs but remains easily accessible.
