Marine Hills is a new development under construction in the Selwo district of Estepona, Málaga. Located on the western Costa del Sol, this residential complex offers 2-bedroom apartments with an expected delivery in Q1 2027. The site sits approximately 2.8 km from the nearest beach and is positioned 111 meters above sea level. The development is designed as a gated community featuring amenities such as a heated infinity pool, a gym, and coworking spaces.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The project is situated in Selwo, a transitional area between the coastal strip and the Sierra Bermeja mountain range. This elevation provides views over the surrounding landscape. The nearest coastline is Playa Costa Natura, at a distance of 2.8 km as the crow flies. The area is characterized by a mix of residential developments and open spaces, including proximity to the Selwo Aventura park.
The layout addresses the desire for indoor-outdoor living through spacious terraces. Inclusion of coworking spaces and a gym within the complex caters to modern lifestyle needs, combining leisure with functionality. The presence of 24/7 security and controlled access addresses safety requirements for full-time or seasonal residents.
Construction is currently ongoing, with an estimated completion date in the first quarter of 2027. The architecture utilizes terraced platforms to integrate with the sloping terrain. The structural design includes reinforced concrete foundations and thermal insulation in compliance with current Technical Building Code regulations. The project comprises distinct blocks connected by communal areas.
The location is classified as car-dependent due to distances to primary amenities. While daily necessities are accessible, the terrain and road network require a vehicle for most trips. The distance to the beach involves a drive or a substantial walk rather than immediate beachfront access. The project does not offer front-line beach positioning.

This property suits buyers seeking a modern home with recreational facilities, such as remote workers or retirees active in sports like golf or padel. The nearby international school (Atlas American School) makes it viable for families. It is also fitting for those who prioritize privacy and security within a community. It may be less suitable for those wishing to walk to a beachfront promenade daily or who prefer a historic town center location without driving.
The build quality focuses on thermal and acoustic insulation, utilizing double-leaf walls and rock wool soundproofing. Kitchens are fitted with standard appliances, and flooring is designed for durability and style. Bathrooms feature underfloor heating, a notable comfort feature. External joinery is designed to withstand the coastal climate, and pergolas are included on selected terraces to manage solar gain.
Prices for these apartments range from €614,000 to €908,000. This range reflects the current market for new builds in Estepona's New Golden Mile. Variables include floor level, orientation, and terrace size. Each unit includes a parking space and storage room. Prospective buyers should budget for additional taxes and community fees on top of the purchase price.
Life at Marine Hills is defined by a balance between the tranquility of the elevated terrain and access to coastal leisure. The area around Selwo is less dense than the center of Estepona, offering a quieter atmosphere while remaining connected via the A-7 motorway. The presence of multiple golf courses within a 5 km radius, such as El Coto de la Serena, influences the relaxed, outdoor-oriented pace of life. Daily routines here are likely to involve driving for groceries or dining out, with a focus on utilizing the on-site resort-style amenities.
The environment offers extensive sports opportunities with 134 facilities in Estepona. The marina at Puerto Estepona (4 km) adds a nautical dimension to the location. For travel, Málaga Airport is approximately 41 km away, connecting the area internationally. The region enjoys a high number of sunny days (approx. 3,848 hours/year), supporting an outdoor lifestyle.
The map highlights the position of Marine Hills relative to the coastal roads and the Selwo Aventura park. The distance to the shoreline and the elevation gain are clearly visible.
Estepona serves as the western anchor of the Málaga province coastline. Marine Hills is positioned strategically between the busier Marbella area and the traditional town of Estepona. This location, often referred to as the New Golden Mile, allows access to the services of both municipalities. It offers a slightly more detached feel than the urban centers, yet remains integrated into the Costa del Sol infrastructure.
A supermarket is located 2.6 km away, essential for daily needs. Hospital care is closer, just 1.1 km from the site. Beach access requires travel to Guadalmansa (2.7 km). The location is well-connected by the A-7 coastal road, facilitating travel to Marbella (approx. 28 minutes) and Málaga. Public transport stops exist along the main road, but a car is the primary mode of transport for efficiency.

Compared to Azure Estepona or Atalaya Emotions, Marine Hills offers a more secluded environment within the Selwo area. While Azure offers proximity to Estepona center, Marine Hills provides a resort-style living experience with more extensive on-site amenities like a spa and coworking space. Prices are competitive with other new builds on the New Golden Mile, though the price per square meter may be lower than prime beachfront locations due to the distance from the sea.
