A key-ready two-bedroom apartment in the Sunset Golf development at Selwo, on Estepona's New Golden Mile, offered at a fixed asking price of €449,000. The first-floor apartment provides 101 m² of living space plus a south-facing terrace of approximately 26 m² with views over tropical gardens, the communal pool and the Mediterranean. Built in 2006 and in good condition, it includes two bathrooms (one en suite), a private underground parking space and a storage room. The complex is gated, with 24-hour security and concierge service, and the property holds a registered tourist rental licence.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
Selwo sits on the New Golden Mile between Estepona and Marbella, roughly 1.3 km from the sea. The nearest beach, Playa de Guadalmansa, lies 2.6 km away as the crow flies. Marbella is 19 km away in a straight line, while Estepona and Puerto Banús are both approximately 15 minutes by car. Golf courses, tennis clubs and international schools sit within a short radius.
The apartment is arranged for low-maintenance coastal living: two bedrooms with fitted wardrobes, an en-suite bathroom, air conditioning and lift access. The south-facing terrace receives sun from morning until sunset and connects directly to the living room. A communal pool and tropical gardens serve daily outdoor use, while fibre optic and WiFi support remote work. A car is practical for most errands.
This is an existing home, completed in 2006 and currently key-ready, so no construction phase or delivery uncertainty applies. The building has been maintained as part of a gated complex with concierge and 24-hour security. Furniture is not included in the asking price and is available by separate negotiation. Community fees are €191.60 per month; annual IBI is €477.
The property offers communal rather than private parking and a communal rather than private pool. Furniture is excluded from the price. There is no private garden. Living space is 101 m², so the total of 145 m² counts the terrace. The nearest beach is not within walking distance for most people at 2.6 km as the crow flies, and public transport coverage, while present with six lines, does not replace a car.

This apartment suits several recognisable situations. A couple seeking a second home on the Costa del Sol will find the size, two bedrooms, two bathrooms, 101 m² inside plus a large terrace, sufficient for extended stays and visiting guests, while the gated complex and concierge service reduce worries during long absences. Buyers planning a permanent move to Spain benefit from the key-ready status: no construction risk, immediate availability and established running costs. The lift access, en-suite bathroom and flat surroundings (a 1.9 per cent gradient to the sea) also make the property workable for older buyers thinking about long-term accessibility. Investors form a third group. The registered tourist rental licence permits holiday letting, and the location between Estepona and Marbella, close to golf courses and beaches, sits within an established rental market supported by the area's tourism infrastructure. Buyers should weigh the licence's value against community rules and seasonal demand. Remote workers can use the fibre optic connection and the sunlit terrace as an outdoor extension of the living space. The property is less suitable for buyers wanting a private pool, private garden or walk-to-everything urban living; the nearest beach is 2.6 km as the crow flies, and daily life generally assumes a car.
The apartment dates from 2006 and is described as being in good condition, which places it in the established category rather than new build. As is typical of that era on the New Golden Mile, construction is conventional Spanish apartment building: rendered facades, white complex architecture with palm-lined pathways, and tropical communal gardens with a communal swimming pool. Internally, the specification is practical rather than luxurious: air conditioning for climate control, fitted wardrobes in the bedrooms, an en-suite bathroom, and a separate bathroom with tiled finishes. The living room connects directly to the south-facing terrace, approximately 26 m², which functions as an additional room for much of the year given the region's average annual temperature of 18.9°C. Technical provisions include fibre optic and WiFi, which are relevant for streaming and remote work. The development's shared infrastructure, 24-hour security, concierge service, gated access, lift and underground parking, represents a significant part of the property's quality equation, as maintenance of these services is covered by the €191.60 monthly community fee. Buyers should treat an independent technical inspection as standard practice for a property of this age, paying attention to insulation, window quality and the condition of the climate systems. Furniture is optional and priced separately, so the interior seen in viewings may not transfer with the sale.
The apartment is offered at a fixed asking price of €449,000, including a private underground parking space and a storage room but excluding furniture, which is available by separate negotiation. Running costs are transparent: community fees of €191.60 per month and IBI of €477 per year. For context, new-build projects elsewhere on the coast start at lower entry points, Aquamar in Torre del Mar from €269,950, Lantana Residencial in Mijas from €205,000 and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona from €321,000, but those are off-plan or new construction without this property's rental licence, established setting and inclusion of parking and storage. The VFT tourist licence adds a documented rental option to the ownership structure.
Sunset Golf is a residential development in Selwo, a quiet stretch of the New Golden Mile between Estepona and Marbella. The area is characterised by low-rise apartment complexes, golf courses and green hillsides rather than dense urban blocks. Daily life here revolves around the terrace and the communal grounds: the apartment's south orientation means the roughly 26 m² terrace catches sun from morning until sunset, with views across the tropical gardens and pool towards the sea. Inside, the 101 m² layout offers a living room that opens directly onto the terrace, two bedrooms with fitted wardrobes, and two bathrooms including an en suite. Air conditioning manages the summer months, and fibre optic supports home working. The first-floor position with lift access makes the apartment practical for year-round residence as well as holiday use. The rhythm of the area is calm and seasonal. Within two kilometres there are four restaurants, two pharmacies and a café, which covers basic needs but suggests that most households use a car for larger shops and services. Two health centres and a broad range of schools, 19 primary and 10 secondary, plus The International School of Estepona at 4.5 km, sit within reach. Tourism infrastructure is substantial, with 24 hotels and nearly 7,000 beds in the wider area, meaning the surroundings are busier in summer and quieter from late autumn to spring. The registered tourist rental licence (VFT/MA54911) allows owners to combine personal use with holiday letting, which fits the location's seasonal pattern.
Selwo's surroundings combine residential calm with unusually good access to sport and leisure facilities. Three golf courses lie within 3.4 km as the crow flies: El Coto de la Serena at 1.4 km, Flamingos Golf at 2.4 km and Tramores Golf at 3.4 km. Tennis players have the Racket Club Villa Paderna at 3.0 km and Club de Tenis at 3.3 km. A public swimming pool at Parque Antena sits 1.8 km away. Beaches are distributed along the coast nearby: Playa de Guadalmansa at 2.6 km, Playa del Sol Villacana at 3.1 km and Playa del Saladillo at 3.4 km, all straight-line distances. The two marinas at Estepona, Puerto Estepona and Puerto Deportivo, are roughly 8.8 and 8.9 km away respectively, offering dining, berths and waterfront walks. For electric vehicle owners, a Tesla Supercharger is 1.8 km away and a Zunder fast-charging station 8.0 km. Daily provisions come from four restaurants, two pharmacies and a café within two kilometres, with fuller shopping in Estepona or toward Marbella. The area sits at 53 m elevation with a flat gradient to the sea, so walking and cycling are uncomplicated by hills. Marbella, 19 km away with nearly 148,000 inhabitants, is the largest nearby urban centre; Málaga lies 66 km away as the crow flies.
The map shows Sunset Golf in Selwo, set back roughly 1.3 km from the coast between Estepona and Marbella. The golf courses of El Coto de la Serena, Flamingos and Tramores cluster nearby, with the beaches of Guadalmansa, Villacana and Saladillo along the shoreline. Marbella lies 19 km east as the crow flies.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Selwo occupies the western half of the New Golden Mile, the coastal corridor between Estepona and Marbella that developed around golf resorts and gated residential communities. Estepona's town centre and marina lie roughly 15 minutes by car to the west; Puerto Banús the same distance east; and Marbella itself 19 km away in a straight line. This positions the property midway between two established urban centres while remaining inside a low-density residential zone. Within the Costa del Sol as a whole, the area trades the density and nightlife of central Marbella and Benalmádena for greenery, golf and relative calm, at a price level below frontline Marbella.
Accessibility is primarily car-based. Puerto Banús is approximately 15 minutes by car, and both Estepona town and Marbella are easily reached by road. Marbella sits 19 km away in a straight line; Algeciras 49 km; and Málaga, the provincial capital with 579,076 inhabitants, 66 km. Two airports serve the area: Gibraltar at roughly 42 km and Malaga-Costa del Sol at roughly 57 km, both straight-line distances, road travel times are longer. Public transport exists, with six lines and 21 stops recorded in the area, sufficient for occasional trips but not for daily life in most households. A car remains the practical standard for shopping, school runs and beach visits, and the included private underground parking space addresses that need directly. The charging infrastructure nearby (Supercharger at 1.8 km, Zunder at 8.0 km) supports electric motoring. The flat terrain at 53 m elevation means short local trips by bicycle or on foot are realistic, though the nearest beach at 2.6 km as the crow flies is a drive rather than a stroll for most residents.

The climate data points to a typical western Costa del Sol profile: an average annual temperature of 18.9°C, with monthly averages ranging between 15 and 25°C. Winters are mild enough for year-round residence, while summers are warm but moderated by the sea breeze. The swimming season extends to five months with water temperatures of 20°C or above, roughly May or June through September or October. The setting at 53 m above sea level with a 1.9 per cent gradient to the coast places the apartment on essentially flat ground at the foot of the Sierra Bermeja foothills, so mountain views from the property coexist with level access to the sea. The hills behind Selwo provide walking terrain and a green backdrop, while the coastal plain carries the golf courses and residential areas. Rainfall concentrates in the cooler months, leaving long dry spells that make the south-facing terrace usable most of the year. The 32 local public holidays per year in Andalucía add to the region's calendar of ferias and processions.

Three beaches sit within about 3.5 km as the crow flies: Playa de Guadalmansa (2.6 km), Playa del Sol Villacana (3.1 km) and Playa del Saladillo (3.4 km). This stretch of coast between Estepona and Marbella is known for wide, sandy beaches backed by beach bars and residential urbanisations, quieter than the central Marbella waterfront. Golf is the area's strongest recreational card, with El Coto de la Serena, Flamingos Golf and Tramores Golf all within 3.4 km. Flamingos in particular forms part of an established resort circuit. Racquet sports are well represented through the Racket Club Villa Paderna and Club de Tenis, and Paintball Estepona at 3.8 km offers an alternative for families. The communal pool at Sunset Golf and the public pool at Parque Antena (1.8 km) cover swimming closer to home. The two marinas at Estepona, roughly 8.8 and 8.9 km away, provide the nearest waterfront dining and boating infrastructure. With 24 hotels and nearly 7,000 tourist beds in the surrounding area, the leisure offer, restaurants, beach clubs, water sports, is extensive, though it also means noticeably busier conditions in July and August compared with the quiet off-season.

Within the western Costa del Sol, this apartment competes on a different basis than new-build projects. Comparable new developments elsewhere on the coast start lower, Lantana Residencial in Mijas from €205,000, Aquamar in Torre del Mar from €269,950 and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona from €321,000, but those prices reflect off-plan purchase, construction timelines of one to three years, and typically extra costs for parking and storage, which here are included in the €449,000 fixed asking price. Location places the property in one of the coast's established middle-market segments. On the New Golden Mile, pricing climbs steeply toward the sea and toward Marbella: frontline-golf and frontline-beach developments in the same corridor trade well above this level, while older inland units further from Estepona trade below it. At €449,000 for 101 m² plus a 26 m² terrace, parking and storage, the price per usable square metre sits in line with the segment for quality 2000s developments in gated complexes in this corridor. The differentiators worth weighing are tangible: the registered tourist rental licence, which not all competitors hold; the 24-hour security and concierge operation; and the south-facing orientation with sea views from a first-floor position. Against new-build alternatives, buyers trade modern specifications and energy performance for immediate availability, established surroundings and a documented letting history. Against resale units in central Estepona, they trade walkable urbanity for golf-course surroundings, more space per euro and a quieter residential rhythm. The regional market recorded 3,163 housing transactions per year in the local area, indicating an active resale market, relevant for anyone factoring eventual liquidity into the purchase decision.
