A key-ready two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment of 80 m² in the Selwo district of Estepona, offered at a fixed asking price of €323,000. Completed in 2001, the property forms part of a residential community with a shared pool and garden, and includes a private underground parking space. The apartment faces south and has a terrace with glass enclosures and panoramic sea views. The surrounding area combines golf courses, beaches within roughly 3 km, and everyday amenities within a short drive.
Within the western Costa del Sol, this apartment competes both with resale stock and with new-build developments. The closest new-build reference is Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona, priced from €321,000, nearly identical to this property's fixed asking price of €323,000. The comparison is instructive: the new-build offers a modern specification and developer warranties but with construction or delivery timelines still ahead, while the Selwo apartment is available immediately, includes a private underground parking space, and carries a glazed terrace with sea views as an existing feature. Further east, Aquamar in Torre del Mar starts at €269,950 and Lantana Residencial in Mijas at €205,000; both are cheaper entry points but located further from the Estepona, Marbella stretch and, in the case of Torre del Mar, on the eastern Axarquía coast rather than the western Costa del Sol. Location-wise, Selwo sits in the New Golden Mile corridor, where land values and golf-adjacent demand support prices above the Mijas and Torre del Mar baselines. The local market records around 3,163 transactions per year, indicating steady activity in the municipality. Median income in the province of €16,450 provides context for the domestic market, though properties in this price segment on the coast are largely driven by international buyers. For a buyer weighing this apartment against new-build alternatives, the trade-off comes down to immediate availability, established community costs and the included parking versus newer construction standards and energy performance.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
Selwo is a residential zone on the western side of Estepona, around 2.6 km from Playa de Guadalmansa as the crow flies. The area sits at about 53 metres above sea level on flat terrain, with several golf courses within 3.5 km and the town centre of Estepona and its marina roughly 9 km away by direct distance.
The home offers two bedrooms, two bathrooms and 80 m² of living space, with a south-facing covered terrace fitted with glass enclosures for year-round use. Air conditioning, a lift in the building, communal pool and garden, and a private parking space in the underground garage cover the main functional needs of daily coastal living.
This is an existing home, completed in 2001 and available immediately as a key-ready property. There is no construction phase or delivery schedule to take into account. Purchase costs and timing follow the standard process for a resale transaction on the Spanish Costa del Sol rather than an off-plan payment plan.
The property offers 80 m² of living space with two bedrooms, which sets limits on household size or entertaining scale. There is no private pool or private garden; outdoor space consists of the glazed terrace. Distances to the beach and Estepona town mean most daily trips are done by car, as the immediate Selwo surroundings are primarily residential.
This property fits several recognisable situations. A couple seeking a manageable second home on the Costa del Sol will find the 80 m² layout, glazed terrace and communal pool low on maintenance while offering sea views and year-round usability. Buyers relocating permanently who want an established, key-ready home without waiting for construction will appreciate the immediate availability and the two-bathroom configuration. Golf players are well placed: Club de Golf El Coto de la Serena at 1.4 km, Flamingos Golf at 2.4 km and Tramores Golf at 3.4 km are all within a short drive. Investors considering rental use benefit from the south orientation, sea views and parking space, all factors that support demand in the Estepona rental market. The property is less suited to buyers needing three or more bedrooms, a private pool or private garden, or those intending to live without a car, given the residential character of Selwo and the distances to the town centre and beach.
The apartment dates from 2001, which places it in a mature construction period for the Costa del Sol: concrete-frame apartment buildings of that era typically feature cavity walls, tiled floors and standard aluminium window frames. The current owner has upgraded the terrace with Lumon glass enclosures, a system of sliding glass panels that allows the covered terrace to be closed off in cooler months and opened fully in summer, effectively creating an extra living zone with the sea view intact. The interior photographs show a functional layout: a living room with fireplace and balcony access, a bedroom with a sliding wardrobe, a compact bathroom with shelving, and a hallway connecting to the kitchen. Air conditioning is present for climate control. The building includes a lift. Buyers should treat the 2001 construction date as a factor to verify during technical due diligence: plumbing, electrical installations and window glazing may have been partially or fully renewed, and the actual condition of each element is best assessed through an independent survey. The communal areas, pool and garden, are maintained through the community of owners, with corresponding community fees that form part of the annual ownership costs.
The apartment is offered as an existing home with a fixed asking price of €323,000. That price covers an 80 m² two-bedroom, two-bathroom unit with a glazed terrace, communal pool access, and a private parking space in the underground garage. As a resale property from 2001, the price reflects the established nature of the building and the location rather than new-build premiums. Comparable new-build projects nearby, such as Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona (from €321,000), start at a similar level but without the inclusion of a parking space in every case and with delivery dates still ahead. Availability is immediate, as the home is key-ready.
Daily life in this apartment revolves around the south-facing terrace, which is enclosed with glass panels so it can be used throughout the year while retaining the panoramic sea view. Mornings can be spent on the terrace before the sun moves across the southern sky, and the living room connects to this outdoor space, extending the usable area of an 80 m² home considerably. The building has a lift, which simplifies shopping trips and luggage handling. Within the community, residents share a pool and a communal garden, which serve as the outdoor social and relaxation space in place of a private garden. The two bathrooms mean the home works for two sharers or guests without scheduling conflicts. The immediate Selwo area is residential and quiet, with four restaurants, two pharmacies and a café within 2 km, so basic needs are met nearby, though larger shopping and town amenities are concentrated towards Estepona itself. A car is the practical mode of transport here: the A-7 coastal road connects the area to Estepona, Marbella and the airports. For leisure, three golf courses lie within 3.5 km, and the beach at Playa de Guadalmansa is roughly a five-minute drive away. The rhythm of the area is seasonal, busiest in summer months when tourism peaks across the coast, and notably calmer from late autumn to spring.
The Selwo district sits on the coastal strip between Estepona town and the Guadalmansa river, an area characterised by low-rise residential communities, golf courses and a gradually sloping coastline. Within 2 km, residents have access to four restaurants, two pharmacies and a café, which covers day-to-day needs. Healthcare is available at two health centres in the wider area, and education options include 19 primary schools and 10 secondary schools, with The International School of Estepona at 4.5 km as a direct-distance reference for international families. Public transport exists in the form of six lines with 21 stops in the area, useful for occasional trips, though the spread-out nature of the district means a car remains the primary means of transport for most residents. The coastal road provides the main artery towards Estepona, Marbella and beyond. The area records around 3,163 housing transactions per year, indicating an active local property market with reasonable liquidity for resale. Tourism infrastructure, 24 hotels with nearly 6,900 beds, means the surroundings are busier in the summer season and quieter in the winter months, a pattern common along this stretch of coast.

Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Selwo occupies the western coastal flank of Estepona, closer to Marbella (19 km) than to Málaga (66 km), and roughly opposite Gibraltar (49 km via Algeciras) as the crow flies. This positions the property in the New Golden Mile zone, a stretch known for its golf courses, hotel resorts and established residential communities. Estepona town, with its marina and old quarter, is the nearest full-service urban centre. The location combines coastal access with a quieter, low-density residential character compared with the denser central Estepona and Marbella waterfronts.
Distances below are straight-line (as the crow flies); road distances are somewhat longer. The nearest beach, Playa de Guadalmansa, lies 2.6 km away on flat terrain with a gradient of about 1.9 per cent, making it an easy cycle or short drive. Other beaches, Playa del Sol Villacana (3.1 km) and Playa del Saladillo (3.4 km), extend the choice along the coast. Marbella is 19 km away and Estepona's marinas, Puerto Estepona and Puerto Deportivo, around 8.8 to 8.9 km. Gibraltar Airport is roughly 42 km away and Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport about 57 km, giving access to two international airports. Electric-car owners can charge at the Tesla Supercharger in Estepona, 1.8 km away, or the Zunder station at 8 km. Golf courses within 3.5 km include El Coto de la Serena, Flamingos Golf and Tramores Golf, and the Racket Club Villa Paderna sits 3 km from the property.

The location lies at 53 metres above sea level with a gentle 1.9 per cent gradient towards the coast, no steep hills to negotiate on foot or by bike. The climate is Mediterranean with an average annual temperature of 18.9 °C and monthly averages ranging from 15 °C in winter to 25 °C in summer. The swimming season lasts about five months, during which sea temperatures reach 20 °C or above, roughly from late spring to early autumn. The south-facing orientation of the apartment aligns with the sun's path, giving the terrace direct sunlight through the middle of the day and into the afternoon. Winters are mild enough that the glass-enclosed terrace remains usable year-round, and air conditioning covers the warmer months of July and August. The nearby coastline and the Sierra Bermeja mountains behind Estepona shape the landscape: green valleys with golf courses towards the interior and open sea views to the south.

The coastline near Selwo offers several beaches within a short radius: 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. These are the quieter, western-Estepona beaches popular with residents rather than the busier town strands. Golf is the strongest recreational draw of the immediate area, with three courses within 3.5 km, El Coto de la Serena, Flamingos Golf and Tramores Golf, making the location practical for regular play without long drives. Racket sports are covered by the Racket Club Villa Paderna at 3.0 km and Club de Tenis at 3.3 km, and Paintball Estepona at 3.8 km offers a family activity option. For swimming outside the beach season, the communal pool of the residence and the public pool at Parque Antena (1.8 km) are alternatives. The two marinas of Estepona, at roughly 8.8 km, provide the coastal promenade, chiringuitos and water-based leisure typical of the Costa del Sol.
