The Costa del Sol stretches for over 150km along Spain’s Mediterranean coastline. From the bustling capital of Málaga to peaceful villages and seaside resorts, the coast is filled with an incredible array of towns and cities – each with something different to offer. But one of the most popular areas, for both holidaymakers and expats, is Estepona.
Sitting at the foot of the Sierra Bermeja mountains, it’s a special location to the west of Marbella and Puerto Banús, encompassing several beautiful resorts. Whether you’re searching for a profitable rental property, would like an idyllic base for holidays or wish to relocate, here’s why properties for sale in Estepona should be at the top of your ‘to view’ list.
1. Authentic beauty
Estepona is a true ‘pueblo blanco’
Think whitewashed buildings, fully pedestrianised streets and orange groves at every turn. Recently transformed into the ‘Garden of the Costa del Sol’, avenues have now been filled with colourful flower boxes and residents are treated to breathtaking sea and mountain views.
Yes, it may be a popular holiday destination. But at its heart, Estepona is just a beautiful fishing village – with a peaceful and laidback atmosphere and a friendly and welcoming community.
2. Stunning beaches
A beach lovers’ paradise
Estepona is renowned for its breathtaking 21km coastline. Not only do most of its beaches have blue flag status, they also tend to be less crowded than those in neighbouring resorts – making them an ideal spot to relax and enjoy the 320+ days of glorious sunshine each year.
Many properties for sale in Estepona are also located along the beachfront – meaning you can wake up each day, just a few steps from the golden sands.
3. Plenty to see and do
Whatever your interests or hobbies, Estepona has something for everyone to enjoy
Aside from a large selection of authentic chiringuitos and tapas bars, you’ll find a wide range of sophisticated beach clubs, fine-dining restaurants, fashion houses and high-end boutiques in the local area. So if you’re looking for a little luxury, it certainly won’t disappoint.
Estepona is also home to a fantastic cross-section of leisure activities and cultural sights, including 30 world-class golf courses, Europe’s largest riding school, numerous water sports and yacht clubs, several hiking trails and various popular day trip attractions.
4. Excellent amenities
Over the years, Estepona has undergone significant development
It now has a fantastic infrastructure, with easy access to the coastal highway and international airports, and a wide range of day-to-day amenities right on the doorstep – including international schools, banks, shops, supermarkets, dental and healthcare services and more.
5. Affordable
Despite its ever-increasing popularity, Estepona isn’t an expensive place to live.
Generally speaking, real estate prices are below the level found in other nearby resorts – particularly Marbella and Puerto Banús. You certainly don’t need to be a millionaire to live in this beautiful resort and most people are able to find an ideal property within their budget.
Utilities and household bills also tend to be cheaper than in the UK. Both groceries and dining out cost less, and community fees, road tax and fuel are all very affordable. Which means, your money stretches further and it’s possible to enjoy an excellent quality of life for less.
