About Estepona

Estepona pairs the character of a traditional Andalusian town with the momentum of the Costa del Sol's fastest-growing stretch. Its flower-filled old town, working fishing port and 21 km of beaches sit beside the New Golden Mile — the coastal corridor running towards Marbella that has become a magnet for quality new-build and golf. Backed by the Sierra Bermeja and blessed with a mild, sunny climate, Estepona offers a more relaxed, family-friendly base than its glitzier neighbour, while prices and international demand continue to climb.

Authentic Andalusian town

A whitewashed old town full of flowers, a working marina and real local character — charm Marbella has outgrown.

The New Golden Mile

The fast-appreciating corridor between Estepona and Marbella, packed with new-build developments and golf.

Beaches and nature

Over 20 km of coastline and blue-flag beaches set against the Sierra Bermeja mountains.

Value on the rise

Strong price growth and a lower entry point than Marbella, with rapidly growing international interest.
