A key-ready, three-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment of 91 m² situated on the first floor of a contemporary residential complex in Selwo, Estepona, completed in 2020. The property is offered at a fixed asking price of €510,000 and includes a parking space and a storage room. The complex provides communal facilities such as an outdoor pool, a heated indoor pool, a gym, a sauna, a coworking space and 24-hour security. Selwo lies between Estepona and Marbella on the Costa del Sol, with beaches and several golf courses within a few kilometres.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
Selwo is a residential area on the western side of Estepona, positioned between the town centre and Marbella, roughly 19 km from Marbella as the crow flies. The nearest beach, Playa de Guadalmansa, lies 2.6 km away in a straight line, with the terrain essentially flat towards the coast. Three golf courses sit within 3.4 km of the property.
The apartment offers three bedrooms, two bathrooms (one en suite) and 91 m² of living space, with a private covered terrace facing south-west overlooking the communal gardens. Fitted wardrobes, air conditioning for hot and cold use, central heating and a lift serve daily living needs. A parking space and storage room are included in the sale.
This is an existing, completed home rather than an off-plan purchase. The building dates from 2020 and the apartment is key-ready, meaning it can be transferred in its current finished state without waiting for construction. Completion dates for such transactions depend on the sales process rather than a construction schedule.
The property has no private pool; swimming facilities are communal, including outdoor, indoor, heated and children's pools. There is no private garden, only a terrace with garden views. With 91 m² across three bedrooms, the layout is compact rather than spacious. Distances to beaches and shops mean daily errands generally require a car.

This property suits several recognisable situations. A couple or small family seeking a permanent residence on the Costa del Sol will find three bedrooms, an en suite bathroom and central heating relevant for year-round living, since winter nights in the region can be cool despite the mild average temperature of 18.9°C. Buyers wanting a lock-and-leave second home benefit from 24-hour security, included parking and storage, and a community that manages the grounds. Remote workers can use the on-site coworking space and the year-round indoor pool and gym. Golf players are well placed: Club de Golf El Coto de la Serena lies 1.4 km away as the crow flies, with Flamingos Golf at 2.4 km and Tramores Golf at 3.4 km. The apartment fits less well for buyers who want to walk to the beach daily, 2.6 km straight-line is a short drive or a longer walk, or who need a private pool and garden, since those are communal here. It also does not suit households requiring very generous space per bedroom, given 91 m² across three rooms.
The apartment was completed in 2020, which means contemporary building standards and modern installations rather than an older property requiring renovation. The kitchen is fitted with an island and stainless-steel appliances, visible in the listing photography, and the main bathroom has twin washbasins, both indicators of a specification aimed at comfortable use rather than entry-level finishes. Climate control is comprehensive: air conditioning units provide both hot and cold air, supplemented by central heating, a combination that keeps the home usable through Andalusian summers and cooler winter spells. Fitted wardrobes in the bedrooms reduce the need for additional furniture purchases. The covered terrace extends the living area outdoors while offering shade and shelter, and the glass balustrade visible on the balcony keeps sightlines open to the gardens. A lift serves the building, which matters for the first-floor position and for future-proofing. Practical storage is solved with the included storage room, and the en suite bathroom adds privacy to the main bedroom. The communal buildings follow the same standard, with a heated indoor pool, sauna and gym rather than a simple outdoor pool. The overall condition is described as excellent, consistent with a five-year-old, well-maintained complex.
The apartment is offered at a fixed asking price of €510,000, which includes a parking space and a storage room. This is an existing home completed in 2020, so there is no price list or unit variation: the price applies to this specific property with its 91 m² of living space, three bedrooms and two bathrooms. Comparable new-build projects in the wider region advertise from prices, for example Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona from €321,000 and Aquamar in Torre del Mar from €269,950, but those figures relate to different locations and typically smaller units. Availability is immediate in principle, subject to the standard Spanish purchase process.
Daily life in this Selwo apartment revolves around a compact, low-maintenance home combined with extensive communal facilities. Mornings can start on the south-west facing covered terrace, which catches afternoon and evening sun and looks out over the gardens of the complex. The first-floor position with lift access keeps stairs to a minimum. Within the grounds, residents use the outdoor pool in the warm months and the heated indoor pool, gym and sauna year-round, which extends the usable leisure season well beyond summer. The coworking space makes the complex workable for remote workers who do not want a daily commute. The immediate surroundings are residential and quiet: four restaurants, two pharmacies and a café lie within 2 km, which covers essentials but not full urban convenience. Errands such as larger shopping are typically done by car in Estepona, about 9 km away by road, or towards Marbella. The area sits at 53 m elevation with a gentle 1.9% gradient to the sea, so walking and cycling towards the coast are realistic, with Playa de Guadalmansa 2.6 km away as the crow flies. For households splitting time between Spain and abroad, the included parking space, storage room and 24-hour security reduce the practical burden of leaving the home unoccupied for longer periods.
Selwo sits on the coastal strip between Estepona and Marbella, a stretch characterised by residential urbanisations, golf courses and low-density development rather than high-rise tourism. Within 2 km of the property there are four restaurants, two pharmacies and a café, covering everyday basics. The area counts 24 hotels and nearly 6,900 beds in total, indicating a moderate tourism presence that supports dining and services without dominating daily life. Education is well represented, with 19 primary schools and 10 secondary schools in the wider area, plus The International School of Estepona 4.5 km away as the crow flies, relevant for families relocating permanently. Two health centres serve the local population. Public transport exists in the form of 6 lines and 21 stops, workable for occasional trips, though the spread-out nature of the area means most residents rely on a car. For charging an electric vehicle, a Supercharger station lies 1.8 km away and a Zunder fast-charging point about 8 km. The setting is quiet by Costa del Sol standards, with the nearest larger entertainment options concentrated towards Estepona and Puerto Banús.
The map shows the apartment's position on the New Golden Mile between Estepona and Marbella, with the golf corridor immediately surrounding it and the beaches of Guadalmansa and Saladillo a short distance to the south. Marbella lies east and Estepona's marina west, illustrating the balanced position between the two.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Selwo occupies the New Golden Mile, the coastal stretch between Estepona and Marbella that has developed into one of the Costa del Sol's established residential corridors. Estepona town, with its marina and old centre, lies about 9 km to the west; Marbella, a city of nearly 148,000 inhabitants, is 19 km to the east as the crow flies. This positions the apartment closer to the golf-and-resort belt of the coast than to either urban centre, which defines its character: quiet, green and car-dependent, with the cultural and commercial weight of two larger towns within easy reach.
The nearest beach, Playa de Guadalmansa, lies 2.6 km away as the crow flies, with Playa del Sol Villacana at 3.1 km and Playa del Saladillo at 3.4 km providing alternatives. Marbella is 19 km away in a straight line, Estepona's marinas, Puerto Estepona and Puerto Deportivo, about 8.8 and 8.9 km respectively. Golf is the closest recreation of all: El Coto de la Serena at 1.4 km, Flamingos Golf at 2.4 km and Tramores Golf at 3.4 km straight-line. Two airports serve the area: Gibraltar (GIB) at roughly 42 km and Malaga-Costa del Sol (AGP) at about 57 km as the crow flies, with actual driving distances to both noticeably longer via the A-7 or AP-7. Algeciras lies 49 km away and Málaga city 66 km. A car is effectively necessary for daily life; public transport covers the area but with limited frequency typical of the coastal corridor.

The climate data points to a typical western Costa del Sol pattern: an average annual temperature of 18.9°C, monthly averages ranging between 15 and 25°C, and a swimming season of roughly five months during which sea water stays at or above 20°C. This means outdoor pool use from late spring to early autumn and comfortable terrace weather for most of the year, with the south-west orientation of this apartment's terrace favouring afternoon and evening sun. The elevation of 53 m above sea level keeps the home slightly above coastal humidity while remaining low enough to avoid steep access roads. The gradient to the beach is a flat 1.9%, so the route towards the sea involves no serious climbing, practical for cycling and walking. Rainfall is concentrated in the cooler months, leaving long dry stretches in summer. The surrounding landscape mixes maintained golf courses with the natural greenery of the Selwo hillsides behind the coastal strip.

Three beaches lie within about 3.5 km straight-line of the apartment: Playa de Guadalmansa (2.6 km), Playa del Sol Villacana (3.1 km) and Playa del Saladillo (3.4 km). These are the quieter, western-Estepona beaches rather than the busy town strands, consistent with the residential character of the area. Golf is the strongest recreational asset nearby, with three courses within 3.4 km, El Coto de la Serena, Flamingos Golf and Tramores Golf, placing the apartment genuinely within a golf corridor between Estepona and Marbella. Racquet sports are covered by Racket Club Villa Paderna at 3.0 km and Club de Tenis at 3.3 km, while Parque Antena offers a swimming pool 1.8 km away. For on-site recreation, the complex itself provides the outdoor pool, heated indoor pool, children's pool, gym and sauna. The two marinas at Estepona, both under 9 km away, add options for boat trips and waterfront dining.

At €510,000 for a 91 m², three-bedroom existing apartment, this property is priced above the advertised entry points of comparable new-build projects in the wider region. Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona starts from €321,000, Aquamar in Torre del Mar from €269,950 and Lantana Residencial in Mijas from €205,000. These figures are not directly equivalent: from-prices typically refer to smaller units, earlier phases or less mature locations, and new-build purchases carry construction and delivery timelines. What the asking price here buys is immediacy, a key-ready home from 2020 in a finished complex, plus an unusually broad communal package of heated indoor pool, gym, sauna, coworking space and 24-hour security, and an included parking space and storage room that are often sold separately in new developments. Location also differs materially: Selwo sits on the New Golden Mile between Estepona and Marbella, a stretch with three golf courses within 3.4 km and beaches under 3 km away, which carries a premium over eastern Málaga locations such as Torre del Mar or inland-leaning parts of Mijas. The local market shows activity of roughly 3,163 housing transactions per year, indicating a liquid market on this stretch of the coast. Buyers comparing options should weigh whether the fixed price of a completed home with full facilities matches their budget against the lower entry cost and longer timelines of off-plan alternatives elsewhere on the Costa del Sol.
