Living in Estepona

Located along Spain’s idyllic Costa del Sol, Estepona is one of Spain’s most desirable areas to live. Brimming with authentic Spanish charm, Estepona continues to increase in popularity among those looking to live luxuriously in a quiet Andalusian town and indulge in local culture.

Where in Spain is Estepona?

Estepona is a stunning coastal town in southern Spain on the sun-soaked shores of the Costa del Sol in Andalusia. Estepona offers stunning sea views of the Mediterranean Sea on one side and the Sierra Bermeja mountain on the other.

A Brief History of Estepona

This city’s historic centre was rebuilt by order of King Enrique IV of Castile back in the medieval era, laying the foundations for the charming Old Town that remains today. Once a quiet fishing and agricultural village, Estepona has developed over the past century into a vibrant Mediterranean resort town that has maintained its traditional Andalusian character and historical roots.

Living in Estepona, Spain

Owning a villa in Estepona means embracing a lifestyle rich in sunshine, leisure, and culture. With over 300 days of sunshine annually and mild winters, residents enjoy the temperate climate ideal for outdoor activities year-round.

Estepona’s beautiful beaches, such as Playa del Cristo and Playa de la Rada, provide perfect settings for sunbathing, swimming, and water sports.

The seafront promenade that runs along the Mediterranean coast offers glorious shoreline views, and magnificent landscaped gardens on the other side – the perfect place to take your early morning run or moonlight stroll under the stars.

Getting to, from and around this alluring town is easy. Málaga Airport is just over an hour’s drive away, and the town’s infrastructure provides public transport links within Estepona and to nearby towns.

      Holli provided us with first rate services for buying an apartment in Malaga, Spain. Not only does she possess an intimate knowledge of the area, her advice was thoughtful and timely. As Canadian buyers, Holli provided detailed information on how the the Spanish real estate system operates which is very different than home. I simply cannot imagine how we would have navigated our purchase without Hollli's input and advice. I highly recommend BeLuxe Properties to any real estate purchaser from Canada.

Highly professional, extremely dedicated and always willing to go and do far more than is required. He combines deep knowledge with an exceptional level of commitment and personal attention. Always available and fully involved in every detail of the process. It is clear that he truly enjoys and believes in what he does. I would gladly recommend him.

      Absolutely blown away by our experience in finding a holiday home with Ryan. He is truly amazing at his job, he works incredibly hard to make sure he finds the perfect properties to show you. His communication is incredible, he is always available to chat and to answer any questions. We were really unsure what exactly we wanted from our holiday home and within a few days Ryan had helped us narrow it down to just a couple of areas that were truly perfect for us, and helped us work out what our absolute “must haves” were and where we could make compromises! I love the personal touch he brings to the job and how patient and considerate he is in knowing how big a decision it is. He also recommended some amazing lawyers and other professionals to us along the way which is invaluable to us. I couldn’t recommend Ryan highly enough, we would never buy a holiday home on the Costa del Sol with anyone else and we would recommend him with complete confidence to anyone. Thank you so much Ryan!

      This is to express our heartfelt thanks and gratitude to Holli for not only her professional expertise, extreme knowledge, wise guidance and genuine care, but her constant effort and diligence in working with us to secure our new home. We traveled to Malaga from the States in March for a week of travel with Holli along the Costa Del Sol. I had established a start to working with Holli via email months prior. From the moment of introduction I felt a sense of connection, confidence and knew we were in good hands. Holli began collecting information on exactly our interests, type of home we were interested in, lifestyle and budget. She assisted us with setting our travel itinerary, making wonderful recommendations for lodging and had our entire week carefully and thoughtfully laid out. For five consecutive days we looked at properties thoughtfully curated to our needs and wants. On the last day, we knew we walked into our beautiful apartment in the charming old town of Estepona. Holli’s work did not stop there. She aligned us with all of the like minded and skilled colleagues she works with to continue to assist us in the transaction. A Spanish Lawyer to a Currency Exchange Broker, both of which have made this absolutely effortless for us and have given us a total peace of mind. It is quite rare in todays world to find someone who gives it their all, not only in their work professionally, but also personally. I would refer Holli to anyone thinking about or looking to make this step. It has truly been an amazing and wonderful, stress free and fun experience. We look so forward to our new life in Estepona and in addition to having a dear new friend in Holli. Warmly, Lisa and Greg

      Outstanding service I first met Ryan at a house we were viewing, where he was the seller’s agent. Before we had time to make a decision, he had already sold the place. But we thought he seemed like a great agent, so we asked him to be our buyer’s agent instead – and that turned out to be an understatement. He’s not just a good agent – he’s an excellent one. For over a year, Ryan has been helping us find the perfect home – and it wasn’t an easy task, since we had a long list of specific requirements and a limited budget. But Ryan never gave up, and we’ve just bought our dream house in Marbella – the one he found for us. Throughout the process, Ryan has again and again gone the extra mile for us. He’s been incredibly helpful, always quick to answer our many questions, keeping us updated and in the loop, and offering recommendations for everything from mortgage advisors and lawyers to contractors and car dealers – all of which made us feel safe during such a big investment in a market we didn’t know that well. On top of being helpful and professional, Ryan is also simply a pleasure to be around – which makes all the house viewings a much nicer experience. I can honestly give my highest recommendation to Ryan and the whole team at Belux Properties.
