8 reasons to buy a luxury property in Estepona

14th June 2024 · 5 min. read

Estepona is a very interesting town on the Costa del Sol at the moment because it is in full development. We will see in this post why buying a luxury property in Estepona is, now more than ever, a great investment.

As regards this progress, Estepona is doing it from sustainability, the commitment to natural beauty and respect for its heritage. For example, more affordable car parks have been installed in the city, there are numerous bicycles and scooters for rent in many parts of the centre, a plan has been drawn up to reduce noise pollution or the reduction of polluting gases, almost 40% of the municipality is made up of protected natural spaces; and over two million euros have recently been invested in improving the Paseo Maritimo.

But let’s take a look at the 8 most important points that make Estepona a ‘place of well-being’, a place to buy a luxury home.

1. Estepona is one of the most charming towns on the coast of Malaga. In fact, its tourist brand is ‘The Garden of the Costa del Sol’. This is actually due to the thousands of flowers in its urban area because the town hall has invested a lot in beautifying it. In addition, at first glance, you can see how it has more natural virgin areas in its surroundings if you compare it with other neighbouring towns.

2. The urban area of Estepona is very cozy. In size it is situated between a village and a town. This makes it really accessible and comfortable to live in. It has its own life and entertainment, but is far from the noise of other towns on the Costa del Sol. It has such original options as a Botanical-Orchidarium Park or an open-air Museum of Murals. Its restaurant offer is also exquisite. We recommend the new Mercado de Abastos Gourmet in Calle La Villa, the Spiler Beach Club at the Hotel Kempisky, and two places with more local flavour, La Escollera and Fons.

3. New developments are being built in Estepona with services focused on total customer satisfaction, such as co-working areas, state-of-the-art gyms or heated swimming pools for year-round use. In addition, many of these developments boast sea views or frontline beach locations. This booming new-build market has the same prime qualities as other developments on the coast. Of these new properties, villas, flats and luxury penthouses stand out. The re-sale market is also highly valued.

4. Estepona is a very well-located town on the Costa del Sol. It is close to Marbella, Puerto Banus or Puente Romano to the east but at the same time, it is close to Sotogrande or Gibraltar to the west. You have the option of driving to Malaga Costa del Sol Airport easily, an airport zone with over a hundred worldwide destinations; or to Gibraltar Airport, which is more focused on flights to Britain.

5. On a marine level, it has beautiful beaches, a wide promenade, its own port and established beach bars. Of its beaches, Playa del Cristo and Playa de la Rada stand out. Of its beach bars, there are several that are a must-see on the Costa del Sol. They are Sonora Beach and its modern-musical atmosphere, By the Sea Beach Club belonging to the Hotel Anantara Villa Padierna, with its exclusive and incredible touch of a five-star place;  Trocadero and its wild decoration, and El Ancla with its stupendous Mediterranean cuisine.

6. Estepona is a warm, quiet and safe town. According to objective data from the Spanish Ministry of the Interior, there is hardly any crime, nor are there any shanty towns. On the other hand, Estepona was originally an agricultural and seafaring town, and it still retains much of that simplicity, that love for the products of the land and the sea. Its people are friendly, accustomed to multiculturalism, as is the case all along the Costa del Sol, and its average temperature is around 18 degrees centigrade.

7. Its square metre is increasing in value by the day because Estepona, Casares and Manilva are the natural expansion of the Costa del Sol to the west. Your portfolio includes properties of different styles: from exclusive developments with private villas and landscaped gardens, to luxury apartments with beautiful views and high standard communal services. The interiors are also very beautiful, many with a more Mediterranean-Andalusian touch and others with a Nordic inspiration.

8. Estepona has all kinds of services in its territory: international schools, banks, clinics and hospitals, pharmacies, restaurants, equestrian facilities and golf courses. We can confirm that it is completely self-sufficient.

In conclusion, a property in Estepona is a good investment for the future.  This is true whether you are looking for a property business complement (for rental or resale) or if you want to enjoy a home in the sun in the purest Mediterranean style. It is worth noting that almost 37% of the properties in Estepona are second homes. There is no doubt that the property data augurs well for the future of this town.
