About this property

Overview

Absolute Estepona is a new development of 2 to 3-bedroom ground floor apartments for sale in Estepona, Costa del Sol, priced from €644,000 to €1,200,000. This is a small-scale project of just 24 homes designed by Maiz & Diaz, positioned 500 metres from the beach in Buenas Noches, a quieter stretch of coastline between Estepona town and Casares. The boutique scale and architectural pedigree set it apart from the larger resort-style developments that dominate much of this coast. Ground floor units come with private gardens, a feature that typically commands a premium in this price bracket.

Built sizes range from 114 m² to 153 m², with two or three bathrooms depending on the unit. The development includes a communal swimming pool, landscaped gardens, and a residents' gym. Interiors are specified with open-plan layouts, floor-to-ceiling windows, and fully fitted kitchens with integrated appliances. Flooring is large-format porcelain throughout. Double-glazed windows provide thermal and acoustic insulation, and the building incorporates energy-efficient design principles. The architecture prioritises natural light and indoor-outdoor flow, with terraces oriented towards the Mediterranean where the topography allows.

Buenas Noches sits roughly midway between Estepona's marina (around 12 minutes by car) and the hillside village of Casares. The immediate area is anchored by Playa de la Galera, a sandy beach overlooked by the 16th-century Torre de la Galera watchtower, and the Bahía Dorada urbanisation. Buyers here tend to be Northern European second-home owners and retirees seeking a quieter alternative to Estepona's more built-up western fringe, with proximity to coastal walking routes and several golf courses within a 15-minute drive. This is not a central location. You are trading walkable town amenities for space, lower density, and a more residential character. The A7 coastal road provides the main access, with Marbella approximately 30 minutes east and Gibraltar airport 45 minutes west.

Construction began in the third quarter of 2024, so completion is expected in 2026 or early 2027, subject to the usual variables in Spanish construction timelines. Payment structure for off-plan purchases in Spain typically involves a reservation deposit, stage payments tied to construction milestones, and a final balance on completion and key handover. All amounts and schedules should be confirmed directly with the developer. Independent legal representation is strongly recommended to review contracts, verify planning permissions, and ensure bank guarantees are in place. Ground floor apartments with private gardens in this size range are relatively uncommon in new developments along this part of the coast, which may influence resale liquidity.

Absolute Estepona: Frequently Asked Questions

Absolute Estepona offers ground floor apartments ranging from €644,000 to €1,200,000, depending on the size and configuration you choose. The price variation reflects the different bedroom options and built sizes available within the development, so you can find a property that matches your budget and space requirements.

Absolute Estepona offers both 2-bedroom and 3-bedroom ground floor apartments. The 2-bedroom units start at the lower end of the price range, while the 3-bedroom options provide more space and are positioned at the higher price points within the development.

The built sizes at Absolute Estepona range from 114 m² to 153 m², giving you flexibility depending on whether you opt for a 2-bedroom or 3-bedroom layout. All units are ground floor apartments, which means direct access and no stairs to climb.

Absolute Estepona is expected to be completed in March 2027, giving you a clear timeline for when you can take possession of your property. This allows time for quality construction while keeping the delivery date within a reasonable timeframe.

The ground floor positioning at Absolute Estepona offers direct access to outdoor spaces and gardens, which is a significant advantage over upper-floor units. This layout is particularly appealing for families, those with mobility considerations, or anyone who values easy access to the development's amenities and surroundings in Estepona.

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.
