About this property

Overview

Absolute Estepona is a collection of 24 apartments designed by Maiz & Diaz, sitting in Buenas Noches on the quieter stretch between Estepona town and Casares. The building stands 882 metres from the nearest beach, which takes 11 minutes on foot along residential streets. The AP-7 runs inland behind the site, separating it from Golf Academy Albayt Resort three minutes away by car. Estepona centre is a 13-minute drive, and Gibraltar Airport takes 41 minutes.

The apartments range from 114 to 153 square metres built, with two or three bedrooms and two or three bathrooms. Ground-floor homes come with private gardens, mid-floor units have sea-facing terraces, and penthouses include large solariums. Terrace sizes run from 62 to 190 square metres, which means the difference between a modest balcony and an outdoor space larger than the interior. Floor-to-ceiling windows and open-plan layouts connect the living areas to the terraces. Kitchens are fully fitted, floors are large-format porcelain, and double glazing handles noise and temperature.

Communal facilities include landscaped gardens, a swimming pool with sea views, and a gym. The location suits buyers who want a beachside address without the density of central Estepona, and who are comfortable driving to amenities rather than walking to them. The Playa de la Galera, overlooked by the Torre de la Galera watchtower, is the nearest stretch of sand. This part of the coast is less developed than the areas closer to Puerto Banús, which translates to fewer restaurants and shops within walking distance. Families with young children will need a car for school runs: Colegio Diocesano Juan XXIII is five minutes by road.

Absolute Estepona: Frequently Asked Questions

The nearest beach is 882 metres away, which takes 11 minutes on foot along residential streets. That stretch of sand, Playa de la Galera, sits below the Torre de la Galera watchtower and is less built up than the beaches closer to Puerto Banús. You can walk it comfortably, but most daily amenities require a car.

Terraces range from 62 to 190 square metres, so the smallest is a modest balcony and the largest is bigger than many of the apartments themselves. Ground-floor homes have private gardens, mid-floor units have sea-facing terraces, and penthouses include solariums. The difference in outdoor space is significant across the 24 homes.

Gibraltar Airport is 30 kilometres away and takes 41 minutes by car. That makes the drive manageable for regular flights, but not close enough to walk back from a late arrival. The location suits lock-up-and-leave use, though the journey is longer than from developments nearer Sotogrande.

Golf Academy Albayt Resort is 300 metres away, about three minutes by car. The AP-7 motorway runs between the development and the course, so you cannot walk it. Estepona has several other courses within a short drive, which makes the area popular with golfers, but the road noise may carry depending on which way your terrace faces.

Colegio Diocesano Juan XXIII is five minutes away by car, and Hospital de Alta Resolución de Estepona is a six-minute drive. The nearest supermarket is 1.7 kilometres away, about five minutes on the road. Buenas Noches is a quieter part of the coast, so most family amenities require a car rather than a walk.

Buying off-plan in Estepona means reserving a property before or during construction. You pay a reservation deposit (typically €6,000 to €12,000), then sign a private purchase contract within 30 days and pay a further 10 to 20% of the purchase price. Staged payments follow the construction milestones. The final 60 to 70% is paid at notary completion when the keys are handed over.

Under Spanish law (Law 57/1968 and its 2015 successor), all off-plan deposits must be covered by a bank guarantee or insurance policy. Your lawyer must verify this before you pay any money. If the developer fails to deliver, you can claim 100% of your deposit plus 6% annual interest. Never transfer funds without a confirmed guarantee in your name.

Spanish law mandates three tiers: a 10-year structural guarantee (Seguro Decenal) for serious structural defects, a 3-year guarantee for habitability issues (waterproofing, insulation, installations), and a 1-year guarantee on finishes and fixtures. These run from the date the licence of first occupation (licencia de primera ocupación) is issued.

New-build purchases are subject to 10% IVA (VAT) on the purchase price, plus 1.2% AJD (stamp duty) in Andalucía. Parking spaces or storage sold separately may attract 21% IVA. Add notary, land registry and legal fees (1 to 2%), budget 12 to 15% on top of the purchase price in total acquisition costs.

Most developers allow personalisation during the early construction phase, choices of floor tiles, kitchen units, bathroom fixtures, paint colours and sometimes layout tweaks. The window for changes is typically 3 to 6 months after signing the contract. Structural changes are rarely possible once work has started. Your sales representative will provide a customisation deadline and specification sheet.

Typical build time in coastal Spain is 18 to 30 months from licence grant to completion. Delays of 3 to 6 months are common due to weather, supply-chain or permit issues. Your contract should specify a longstop completion date and the compensation you are owed for any overrun. Always check whether the building licence has already been granted before reserving.

Key due-diligence points: (1) confirm the building licence is granted, not just applied for; (2) verify all deposits are bank-guaranteed in your name; (3) check the developer's track record and financial standing; (4) review the specification sheet and what is included in the price; (5) confirm the estimated completion date and longstop clause; (6) have an independent Spanish lawyer review the contract before you sign anything.

Yes, both are required before the final notary signing. You can reserve with a passport, but your Spanish NIE (foreigner tax number) is needed for the private purchase contract and your Spanish bank account for the staged transfers. Your lawyer can obtain your NIE with a power of attorney in 2 to 4 weeks. Open the bank account on your first trip to Spain or remotely via certain Spanish banks.

Yes. Spanish banks lend to non-residents at typical LTVs of 60 to 70% of the lower of purchase price or valuation (vs 80% for residents). Rates are competitive with the rest of the eurozone. You will need 6 months of bank statements, tax returns and proof of income, pre-approval takes 2 to 4 weeks.

Recommended for serious buyers. A mortgage in principle confirms your budget, signals credibility to sellers and shortens completion. We can introduce you to specialist non-resident mortgage brokers familiar with the local market.

Resale property in Andalucía: ITP (transfer tax) at 7%. New-build: 10% IVA + 1.2% AJD (stamp duty). Plus notary, land registry and legal fees of roughly 1 to 2%. Budget 10 to 13% on top of the asking price for total acquisition costs.

Annual IBI (council tax) is typically 0.4 to 1.1% of cadastral value. Community fees on apartments and gated villas range €100 to €600/month depending on amenities. Non-resident owners pay an annual income tax based on cadastral value, plus utilities and home insurance.

In Spain the seller pays the agent commission (typically 3 to 6% + VAT), already baked into the asking price. Buyers do not pay agent fees on resale or new-build.
