Steps from the Sand, Newly Refurbished, For Sale in Costalita, New Golden Mile, Estepona

The terrace looks straight out to sea. From the living room, so does the view. Costalita sits directly on the sand on Estepona’s New Golden Mile, with private beach access, mature landscaped gardens and pools, and a southwest aspect that holds the sun deep into the evening. The complex is gated and well-managed, and this ground-floor apartment is one of the best-positioned within it, with a wide terrace, open sea views, and finished to a standard that doesn’t need dressing up for photographs.

The layout makes immediate sense. The large open-plan living and dining area flows onto the terrace, where the Mediterranean sits directly in front of you. Inside, a fireplace anchors the room, lending it warmth and character. The kitchen is fitted with premium German appliances, a Thermomix and a flush invisible induction surface, clean lines, proper equipment, built to cook in. All three bedrooms are well-sized and calmly finished, each with quality bathrooms and ample storage. The master suite has a dedicated walk-in wardrobe and its own bathroom. A glass-curtained office sits separately from the main living space, quiet and light, useful whether you work from home or simply need somewhere to think. Underfloor heating runs throughout, and there’s a dedicated laundry room and wine cabinet. It has been designed by people who actually thought about how someone would live here day to day.

The New Golden Mile has changed significantly over the past decade. What was once a quiet corridor between Marbella and Estepona is now home to some of the coast’s best addresses, and the infrastructure has followed. A beachfront restaurant is 200 metres away. Villa Padierna’s tennis and padel club is a four-minute walk. The five-star Ikos Andalusia, TikiTano beach restaurant and La Resina Golf are all within three to six kilometres. LIDL and Mercadona are under 500 metres for daily shopping, and the nearest hospital is 3.5 kilometres away. SELWO Adventure Park is close enough to matter if you have children. The AP-7 is easily accessible, putting both town centres within fifteen minutes. It’s a location that works just as well for full-time living as it does for holidays.
