This 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom luxury apartment in the Alexia Life development, Estepona (Ref: ORE-R5259178), offers 108m² of fully furnished, south-facing living space in a gated community at the heart of town, complete with a covered terrace, smart home technology, aerothermal air conditioning, underfloor heating, and resort-style communal facilities priced at €649,500 on the Costa del Sol’s fastest-rising property market.
Estepona used to be the town that serious buyers passed through on the way to Marbella. That’s no longer the case. Over the past several years, a combination of deliberate urban investment, improved infrastructure, and genuinely beautiful new developments have transformed Estepona into a destination in its own right one that offers something Marbella increasingly cannot: authentic Mediterranean character, alongside modern luxury, without the premium that comes with a famous postcode.
This 2-bedroom luxury apartment in the Alexia Life development sits at the centre of that story. Listed exclusively through Omni Real Estate, it places you in a gated community within walking distance of Estepona’s marina, old town, and La Rada beach with a specification that reflects every aspect of how high-quality coastal living has evolved.
At €649,500, fully furnished and move-in ready, this is not a compromise property. It is a considered one. Here’s everything you need to know about the apartment, the location, and why Estepona deserves serious attention from buyers in 2025 and beyond.
About the Alexia Life Apartment: What Does Ref ORE-R5259178 Offer?
The Alexia Life development sits within the Las Mesas area of central Estepona a gated, well-managed community. With the kind of specification that signals genuine long-term quality rather than quick-build convenience.
The apartment itself covers 108m² of built space across two bedrooms and two bathrooms, with a south-facing orientation that ensures natural light throughout the day. The open-plan kitchen comes fully fitted with Bosch appliances and connects seamlessly to the living area a layout designed for modern life, where the kitchen is a social space as much as a practical one.
The terrace is a genuine highlight. Oversized, covered, and fitted with glass curtains to make it usable year-round. It also comes with pre-installation for both an outdoor kitchen and a jacuzzi. That pre-installation matters: it means a buyer can personalize the outdoor space without structural disruption. On a south-facing terrace in Estepona, that kind of flexibility adds real long-term value.

Why Is Estepona Town Centre Such a Desirable Location for Property Buyers?
Estepona’s appeal as a location has always been grounded in its Andalusian authenticity. Known as the “Garden of the Costa del Sol,” the town has preserved a genuinely Spanish character: flower-lined streets, whitewashed buildings, a working fishing port while investing heavily in the infrastructure that international buyers expect.
The Alexia Life apartment is within walking distance of both the marina and the old town. That matters in practical terms: daily life here does not require a car. The marina offers restaurants, bars, and a relaxed evening atmosphere that is low-key without being lifeless. The old town centred around the Plaza de las Flores and Calle Terraza offers tapas bars, boutique shops, street art, and the kind of authentic community feel that resort towns often promise and rarely deliver.
La Rada beach, Estepona’s main urban beach, is a 15-minute walk. Wide, clean, and lined with restaurants and chiringuitos, La Rada is a proper beach, not a hotel-controlled strip. The town’s seafront promenade extends along the coast, and on clear days offers views of Gibraltar and the mountains of North Africa. These are not minor attractions. They are the daily backdrop for anyone living here.
Estepona also sits in one of the most connected positions on the coast. Marbella is approximately 20–25 minutes to the east; Sotogrande is around 30 minutes; Málaga Airport is roughly one hour. The coastal A-7 motorway provides efficient access to the entire Costa del Sol corridor. For buyers who need international connectivity without wanting to live near an airport, the position is close to ideal.
What Is It Like to Live in Estepona Day-to-Day?
Estepona functions as a proper town, not just a resort. That distinction matters more than it sounds. The old town has a full range of services: pharmacies, banks, a market, international schools, and modern healthcare facilities. The town attracts a genuinely diverse community of permanent residents, retirees, remote workers, and families who have relocated for the quality of life rather than simply the weather.
The Orchid House (Orquidario), a striking botanical attraction in the centre of town, is one of the more unusual cultural assets in the region. The Sierra Bermeja, just inland, offers hiking routes through pine forests with panoramic coastal views. Several high-quality golf courses — including Estepona Golf, Valle Romano Golf, and Atalaya Golf & Country Club — are within a short drive.
The dining scene reflects the town’s character: fresh seafood, grilled sardines (espeto), Andalusian tapas, and a growing number of international restaurants. The Marina area has a reliable evening atmosphere without the excess of larger resort towns.
Estepona’s climate performs consistently year-round. The town enjoys more than 300 days of sunshine annually. Winters are as much a practicaloutdoors comfortably for most of the year — which, given the terrace on this apartment, is a practical as much as an aesthetic consideration.
Is Buying a Luxury Apartment in Estepona a Good Investment in 2026?
Estepona’s property market has delivered consistent capital growth over the past four years, and the trajectory is supported by specific, documented investment. According to Engel & Völkers (June 2026), average apartment prices in the Estepona municipality have risen from €3,038/m² in 2022 to €4,182/m² in 2026, a gain of approximately 37.6% across four years. Apartment prices rose 10.92% in 2025 alone.
The underlying drivers are structural, not speculative. A report by Lucas Fox Estepona (November 2025), cited by Idealista, highlights that Estepona’s municipality has reduced its debt by over €300 million and cut property taxes by 20% in 2025 — the largest tax reduction in the town’s history. A €113 million marina redevelopment is underway. High-profile projects, including Rafa Nadal’s beachfront development in Los Llanos, are bringing international attention and additional prestige.
Compared to Marbella, Estepona still represents relative value. The average price in mid-2025 was approximately €3,910/m² across the market (Idealista/Lucas Fox, November 2025) — above the Andalusian average but below Marbella’s premium levels. Buyers are, in effect, entering a market that is performing strongly, backed by fiscal stability and genuine infrastructure investment, at a price point that still has room for long-term growth.
For buyers considering rental income, Estepona’s combination of year-round climate, lifestyle infrastructure, and growing international demand creates a strong short- and medium-term rental market. A fully furnished, gated-community apartment with resort-style amenities and town-centre access represents exactly what that market rewards.
