Biubay is a small-scale beachfront development in the El Roquero area of Estepona, comprising just ten residences with three and four bedrooms. This four-bedroom apartment offers 299 m² of living space with sea views, a private terrace and, on selected homes, a solarium. The building is under construction with indicative completion in the fourth quarter of 2028. The asking price is €6,500,000. The location places Playa del Cristo roughly 440 metres away, with the town's shops, restaurants and marina within easy reach.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The residence stands directly on the Estepona coastline in El Roquero, a beachfront pocket west of the town centre. Playa del Cristo lies about 437 metres away as the crow flies, and the promenade connects the area to the marina and La Rada beach. Marbella is 25 km away and Málaga airport can be reached by car in well under an hour.
The home is designed for open-plan indoor-outdoor living, with floor-to-ceiling glazing, a south-west orientation and a covered private terrace facing the sea. Four bedrooms and four bathrooms suit households that want space for guests or family. Communal facilities include an infinity pool, gardens, a fitness centre and direct beach access.
Construction is underway, with delivery indicatively planned for the fourth quarter of 2028. Buyers purchase off-plan at this stage, which means finishes and interior layouts are fixed by specification rather than by viewing a completed home. The developer's delivery schedule, payment milestones and specifications should be verified in the purchase contract.
This is an apartment within a communal development, not a detached villa; outdoor space is limited to the terrace and, where applicable, a solarium. A communal pool is available but no private pool belongs to this unit unless expressly stated. Completion is still several years away, so the home cannot be occupied before the indicative 2028 delivery.

This residence fits a buyer who wants a substantial primary or second home directly on the shoreline rather than in an urbanisation set back from the sea. The four-bedroom, four-bathroom layout works for families who receive guests regularly, for couples who want separate study and visitor space, or for buyers planning to spend the full five-month swimming season and beyond on the coast. It also suits purchasers comfortable with an off-plan process: with completion indicatively in late 2028, the purchase involves staged payments and contractual delivery terms rather than an immediate handover. Buyers who need rental-free privacy in a small community of ten homes will find the scale different from large resort complexes. It is less suited to those seeking a turnkey home now, a detached villa with a private garden, or a budget entry into the Costa del Sol market, the price point and specification place it firmly in the luxury segment of Estepona. Households relocating year-round benefit from Estepona's schools, health centres and permanent population, while holiday users benefit from the walkable beachfront location and the 33 km distance to the airport.
According to the developer's specification, the homes feature open-plan interiors with floor-to-ceiling windows, designer kitchens and en-suite bathrooms throughout. The listed features include fitted wardrobes, a covered terrace and, on selected upper-level homes, a solarium; the building provides a lift. Climate control covers both hot and cold air conditioning, which is relevant in a region where average monthly temperatures range from 15 to 25 °C. Finishing standards in this segment of the Estepona market typically include porcelain or similar large-format flooring, aluminium-framed glazing and pre-installation for home automation, though buyers should verify the exact material schedules in the contract annexes, since off-plan specifications can be adjusted within agreed limits. Communal areas are planned with an infinity pool facing the sea, landscaped gardens and a fully equipped fitness centre, with direct beach access from the grounds. Practical points worth confirming with the developer include parking spaces and storage rooms, the thermal and acoustic performance of the glazing given the seafront exposure, and the maintenance regime for the communal facilities, since these costs translate into community fees after delivery. The indicative completion in Q4 2028 allows buyers to track construction milestones before final payment.
The asking price for this four-bedroom apartment is €6,500,000, a fixed price for a single residence within a ten-unit development, not a project-wide starting price. At 299 m² of living space, the price reflects a front-line beach position with sea views in a low-density scheme. Comparable beachfront properties in Estepona currently range from roughly €4.6 million for Villa Azahar Beach to €5.5 million at Sierra Blanca by the Sea, so this unit sits at the upper end of the local market. As the building is under construction with delivery indicatively in Q4 2028, payment typically occurs in stages. Availability of this specific unit should be confirmed directly.
Biubay positions itself at the quieter, residential end of Estepona's seafront, where the promenade, low-rise construction and the curve of the bay set the rhythm of the day. Mornings can begin with a walk to Playa del Cristo, a sheltered west-facing beach roughly 440 metres from the building, known locally for calm water late into the afternoon. Daily groceries, a pharmacy and a bank are within about a kilometre, so errands do not require a car. The south-west orientation of the apartment means the terrace catches afternoon and evening sun, which suits long outdoor dinners and sunset views over the Mediterranean. The town centre and Puerto Estepona, about 1.6 km away, extend the options for restaurants and evening strolls, while La Rada beach at 0.8 km offers a broader stretch of sand with chiringuitos. Estepona itself has a year-round population of nearly 80,000, nineteen primary schools and two health centres, which keeps the town functioning outside the summer season rather than emptying like some resort villages. The nearest hospital is 2.4 km away. For sport, three fitness and municipal sports centres sit within 600 metres. A car is convenient for excursions, golf at Azata Valle Romano is under three kilometres, Marbella is 25 km away, but the immediate neighbourhood is walkable enough that daily life does not depend on driving.
The immediate surroundings combine seafront leisure with genuine day-to-day practicality. A supermarket and a pharmacy both sit about 1.1 km away, and the surrounding two kilometres contain some fifty restaurants, twenty-two cafés, several schools and banks, meaning the neighbourhood supports full-time residence rather than seasonal visits only. Sports facilities are notably close: Better Bodies gym is 300 metres away and the municipal sports centre 600 metres, which is convenient for a regular training routine without driving. Puerto Estepona at 1.6 km and the marina at 1.8 km add nautical options and a pleasant walking loop along the waterfront. For electric car owners, public charging points are available from 1.4 km away. The gradient towards the beach is a flat 2.4 percent, so the walk to the sea involves no stairs or slopes, a detail that matters for daily beach trips and for longer-term accessibility.
The map shows the residence's front-line position on Estepona's seafront, with Playa del Cristo to the south-west and the town centre a short distance along the coast. Markers indicate beaches, golf courses, the marina and sports facilities within a few kilometres of this Mediterranean setting.

Estepona occupies the western stretch of the Costa del Sol between Marbella (25 km) and the Gibraltar area, combining an authentic Spanish town core of nearly 80,000 residents with a modern beachfront. Compared with Marbella's higher density and price levels, Estepona is generally regarded as the more spacious and slower-paced end of the coast, while remaining within reach of Puerto Banús and Sotogrande. The town records around 3,163 housing transactions per year, indicating an active but not overheated market for a location of its size.

Marbella is 25 km away and Algeciras 42 km, placing both towns and the Sotogrande area within reasonable day-trip range. Golfers can reach Azata Golf and Valle Romano within about 2.4 to 2.7 km, with Estepona Golf at 6.1 km. Beaches are the strongest point: Playa del Cristo is about 437 metres away, Playa del Ángel 1.7 km and La Rada 0.8 km. Public transport in Estepona consists of eight lines with fifty stops, and a car is useful though not essential for daily life given the walkable provision of shops and services.

Estepona records an average annual temperature of 19.2 °C, with monthly averages between 15 and 25 °C, which translates into mild winters and warm but not extreme summers moderated by the sea. The swimming season, defined by sea temperatures of 20 °C or more, lasts about five months, roughly May to October. The town sits at just 19 metres above sea level with a flat 2.4 percent gradient to the beach, so the terrain poses no walking difficulties. Inland, the municipality rises into the Sierra Bermeja, peaking at 1,449 metres at Los Reales, a protected mountain backdrop that offers hiking in noticeably cooler air within a short drive of the coast. Two parks lie within two kilometres of the residence for everyday green space.

Within Estepona's new-build supply, Biubay occupies the front-line beachfront segment, which remains limited in supply. The closest comparables illustrate the local price structure: Sierra Blasca by the Sea villas start from €5,500,000, Villa Azahar Beach from €4,595,000, and Acqua Gardens apartments from €524,600. Against these, the €6,500,000 asking price for 299 m² reflects the direct beach position, the small scale of ten residences and the specification level. Compared with Marbella, 25 km to the east, Estepona generally offers more space per euro and a lower density of construction, at the cost of a shorter luxury retail and dining scene; the town compensates with a year-round community of nearly 80,000 inhabitants, nineteen primary schools and two health centres, which supports off-season living. The western Costa del Sol position also places Gibraltar airport 36 km away, an option rarely available further east. Buyers comparing this residence with villa products at similar prices should weigh the trade-off: a detached villa offers private grounds and a private pool, while a beachfront apartment of this type offers unobstructed sea proximity, communal maintenance and lift access, practical considerations for ageing occupants or lock-and-leave usage. The roughly 3,163 annual housing transactions in Estepona point to a liquid local market relative to its size, relevant for anyone considering eventual resale.
