New developments in Estepona
December 2025
Your home in Estepona — on the western Costa del Sol
Estepona has more new developments than most other towns on the Costa del Sol, as the city is expanding clearly both to the east and west.
The projects are concentrated in defined zones, giving buyers a transparent overview — each area offers its own style, price level and living environment.
Why choose a new development in Estepona?
Estepona is developing new residential areas with coordinated planning — new roads, parks, schools and services appear alongside the projects or shortly after.
The ongoing coastal promenade project increases the value of developments along the New Golden Mile and the western Estepona shoreline.
Prices for new developments are lower than in comparable parts of Marbella, while construction quality and energy efficiency remain modern and consistent. This makes Estepona a practical choice for both permanent living and investment.
Estepona and the areas around it
In Estepona town, new developments appear mainly in two forms:
- smaller new apartment buildings near the centre and Old Town,
- and larger contemporary projects in the Las Mesas district.
Las Mesas is the town’s most active new-build area. It includes the projects that have brought the largest number of new homes to Estepona in recent years. The apartments feature modern layouts, larger terraces and well-designed communal areas, all within a short distance of the town centre and the promenade.
In the centre and around the port, new developments are more limited due to the lack of available land. Here, individual new buildings are constructed or older ones are fully redeveloped, offering the chance to live in a newer home in Estepona’s most vibrant urban zone.

New Golden Mile – the coastal stretch between Estepona and Marbella. Modern apartments and townhouses with good access to both Estepona and Marbella.
Cancelada – a rapidly growing residential area. Schools, shops and everyday services are nearby, making it a practical choice for full-time residents. Prices are lower than in the beachfront developments.
Selwo / La Resina – new developments set in a greener and quieter environment, away from the town centre. Many projects offer larger terraces and elevated positions, providing better views.
West Estepona (Arroyo Vaquero, Costa Galera, Bahía Dorada) – new residential complexes close to the coast. This area suits buyers who want to live near the beach but avoid the busier central zones.
