Marine Hills 2 is located in the developing Selwo area, just outside Estepona, characterized by its hilltop position overlooking the Mediterranean. The project sits in a transitional zone where natural beauty, such as the Sierra Bermeja, meets new residential developments. For buyers, this means residing in an environment quieter than Estepona center, yet with amenities like the Atlas American School and various golf courses immediately nearby. Construction is currently underway, with completion expected in Q4 2028.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The project is situated in the Selwo district, bordering the renowned Selwo Aventura park. Located approximately 111 meters above sea level, the site ensures panoramic views of the coastline and sea. The immediate surroundings consist of a mix of recent new builds and natural vegetation. This positioning provides residents with privacy and tranquility, primarily due to the distance from the busy traffic of the coastal N-340 road.
This project targets residents seeking to live outside traditional urbanizations with direct access to sports and recreation. The presence of the Atlas American School nearby makes the location practical for families. Golfers benefit from the proximity to multiple courses, including La Resina Golf & Country Club. It serves as a suitable base for those seeking an active lifestyle in a subtropical setting.
Construction of Marine Hills 2 is currently active. The project comprises multiple blocks containing apartments and townhouses. The schedule targets completion in the fourth quarter of 2028, though this remains indicative in the construction sector. Buyers should account for standard new build phases, where progress depends on weather and logistics.
The location is classified as 'car dependent', meaning a vehicle is necessary for most movements. The distance to the beach is over 2 kilometers, which is a substantial walk—especially considering elevation changes and hills. Daily shopping facilities are several kilometers away, requiring transport. The project is not suitable for those seeking walking distance ('walking distance') to all amenities.

This project suits those seeking a modern home with less maintenance than a villa but more space than a central apartment. It fits buyers preferring an organized community with amenities like pools and sports courts. The nearby international school makes it attractive for families. Golfers will appreciate the density of courses along the 'New Golden Mile'. It also works for winter residents seeking modern insulation and heating (bathroom underfloor heating). It is less suitable for those avoiding cars or wanting direct beachfront living. The new build status also requires a longer-term vision as immediate move-in is not possible.
The finish is modern and focused on durability and comfort. Homes feature open layouts connecting living areas to terraces. This indoor-outdoor concept is typical of Mediterranean architecture. Kitchens are fully fitted with appliances from leading brands. A key technical feature is underfloor heating in bathrooms, offering superior comfort in spring and autumn. Installations include air conditioning (hot/cold) via ducts for even temperature distribution. Materials like ceramic floors and insulation glass prioritize energy efficiency. The aesthetic is neutral and light, fitting the surroundings.
Prices for apartments start from €464,000. For this price, buyers get a home of approximately 64 m² of living space plus outdoor area. The pricing reflects the new build status, finish quality, and location in a popular neighborhood. In the Estepona market, this sits in the mid-to-high segment for new apartments. Availability varies by layout, but the entry price grants access to all project facilities. Price variation depends on terrace size and orientation within the complex.
Living at Marine Hills 2 means residing in a 'resort-style' environment designed for relaxation and outdoor living. The daily routine often begins on the south-facing terrace, enjoying morning sun and hillside silence. The neighborhood is primarily populated by international expats and second-home owners, creating a multicultural vibe. Mornings are quiet, ideal for remote work or outdoor exercise. In the afternoon and evening, the community comes alive around the pools and social spaces. The proximity to the coast (over 2.5 km) means beach visits are a planned activity, usually by car or bike, returning to the tranquility of the elevated complex. The adjacent Selwo Aventura park acts as a green buffer, though some noise from visitors may occur in peak season. Life here has a rhythm: active mornings, social afternoons in common areas, and evenings watching the sunset over the sea.
The immediate area is characterized by greenery and quiet residential streets. Residents have views of the golf course and sea without the bustle. Access roads are quiet, enhancing living quality. The number of restaurants and shops nearby is limited, preserving peace but requiring a car for extensive shopping. The neighborhood feels safe and well-maintained due to surrounding luxury complexes. Practically, this means driving for fresh bread or newspapers, but enjoying space and privacy upon return. The proximity to Selwo nature park offers unique walking and nature opportunities.

Marine Hills 2 is located on the west side of the 'New Golden Mile', between Estepona and Marbella. This is strategic for accessing amenities in both cities. Estepona, with its old town and port, is quicker to reach than Marbella. It offers a quieter alternative to Marbella's center while remaining close enough for nightlife and luxury amenities. It also has good access to the AP-7 motorway.
Mobility around Marine Hills 2 relies heavily on cars. The nearest beach (Playa de Guadalmansa) is 2.7 km away, a 5-10 minute drive. Supermarkets are at a similar distance (2.6 km). Malaga Airport is 41 km away, roughly 40-45 minutes by car. Golf is highly accessible, with Club de Golf El Coto de la Serena (1.5 km) and Flamingos Golf (2.7 km) nearby. Public transport exists but is less frequent than in the city center, increasing car dependency.

The location enjoys the typical Costa del Sol climate, with an average annual temperature of 18.1°C. The elevation of 111 meters creates a breeze that mitigates summer heat. With over 3,800 sun hours annually, outdoor living is possible for most of the year. Winters are mild, rarely freezing. The Sierra Bermeja mountains offer protection from northern winds, creating one of Europe's most comfortable climates.

While not directly on the beach, recreational options are extensive. Guadalmansa Beach is the closest point, offering sand and pebbles with 'chiringuitos'. The coastline is popular with water sports enthusiasts. The region is a golf hub, with multiple 18-hole courses within 5 km (El Coto, Flamingos). Hikers have access to mountain trails in the Sierra Bermeja.

Compared to Azure Estepona and Capri, Marine Hills is further from the city center and beach. While Azure and Capri are more urban and walkable, Marine Hills offers more space and tranquility. Prices are competitive with Capri, which often commands a higher price due to beach proximity. Acqua Gardens is a cheaper alternative but generally lacks the same range of facilities. Unique to Marine Hills is the direct adjacency to an international school and nature park.
