Marbella needs no introduction. Estepona is where smart buyers are increasingly looking. This guide covers both markets, the key areas, the active projects and what the buying experience involves.
Marbella is the most internationally recognised address on the Costa del Sol. Estepona is where much of the genuine new build activity is happening right now, and where prices still allow for meaningful growth.
From apartments in Nueva Andalucía to ultra-prime villas on the Golden Mile and La Zagaleta.
Stronger value relative to Marbella. Active new build pipeline and improving infrastructure.
Both markets are within comfortable commuting distance of Málaga international airport.
The stretch of coastline between Marbella centre and Puerto Banús. The most prestigious address on the Costa del Sol. Villa prices start at around €3,000,000. New build supply is extremely limited.
The golf valley behind Puerto Banús. A mix of established urbanisations and active new build projects. Good value relative to the beachfront, with access to premier golf courses.
An ultra-private gated community in the hills above Benahavís. The most exclusive residential address in southern Spain. Properties start at around €5,000,000 and are rarely publicly listed.
Estepona has transformed over the past decade. The old town has been extensively renovated, the beach promenade extended, and a substantial pipeline of new build projects delivered. The area west of Estepona towards Casares is where the most interesting projects are currently active.
