Buying a property in Estepona? English-speaking estate agent Estepona

Estepona offers a rare combination on the Costa del Sol: an award-winning restored historic centre with flower-filled streets and murals, 21 kilometres of beach, its own marina and nine golf courses, all at prices typically 20-30% lower than comparable locations in Marbella. Its position on the New Golden Mile also makes it one of the most dynamically growing property areas in the region. Both resale and new-build properties are widely available.

The New Golden Mile is the coastal strip between San Pedro de Alcántara and the town of Estepona, the fastest-growing property area on the entire Costa del Sol. Homes near the beach here combine proximity to Puerto Banús (15 minutes) with Estepona prices: on average 20-30% lower than comparable property on the Marbella side of San Pedro. Both resale homes and new-build developments are widely available, with strong capital growth. WeSellHomes.es has an extensive range on the New Golden Mile.
