The town

What Estepona is like.

Estepona has kept its character while the coast around it changed. The old town is a grid of white streets with flower pots on every wall and murals on the gable ends, and it is lived in, not a museum. The seafront is a long promenade with the beach of La Rada on one side and cafés on the other, and the port at the western end has the fish restaurants and the Sunday market.

East of the town the New Golden Mile runs towards Marbella: a string of newer apartment communities, golf courses and beach clubs between the motorway and the sea. Prices there are below Marbella for a similar home, which is why many buyers from the UK end up here.

Where to look in Estepona

  • The old town and centre

    Apartments and townhouses in the streets behind the seafront. Walk to everything.

    West of the centre: apartments near the marina and the beach, with a quieter feel.

  • The New Golden Mile

    Cancelada, Bel Air, Atalaya, Selwo and Benamara: communities with pools and gardens, most of them a short walk from a beach.

  • Estepona Golf and Valle Romano

    Golf communities west of the town, with views over the course and the sea.
