To say Estepona property Is now firmly on every foreign buyer’s radar is no exaggeration. For decades, Marbella was the gold standard of the Costa del Sol. Yet in 2025, Estepona is on an upward trajectory and is stealing the spotlight—delivering authentic charm, modern infrastructure, and beachfront property for sale in Estepona is still available at a fraction of Marbella’s price tags.
Estepona has become the sweet spot for international buyers: a place where you can stroll through cobbled streets in the morning, enjoy a beachside lunch at a stylish chiringuito, and head back to a frontline apartment with panoramic views—all for under €400k–€500k.
One of the biggest draws of Estepona is value.
