About this property
Overview
Equilibrio Apartments gives you two- and three-bedroom homes between 91 and 109 square metres, set in a small group of three blocks with just 15 apartments in total. The terraces span a wide range, from 17 square metres on smaller units to 183 square metres on the largest, so what you get depends entirely on which apartment you choose.
The larger terraces suit buyers who want outdoor living space that rivals the interior, while the smaller ones still give you somewhere to sit outside without dominating the layout. Every home comes with three bathrooms, underground parking and a storage room. The communal pool and gardens are shared by fifteen households, not hundreds.
The setting is beachside but not beachfront. Bermuda Beach sits 763 metres away, a ten-minute walk when you want it. You are on the quiet side of Estepona, away from the port and the town centre, which means less noise and foot traffic but also means you drive or taxi into town for restaurants and nightlife. The AP-7 motorway runs behind the development, so you reach Marbella or Sotogrande quickly, but you hear road noise if that matters to you. Golf Academy Albayt Resort is three minutes by car if you play or if your children take lessons there.
This works for buyers who want a small, gated scheme where you know your neighbours, who value the beach within walking distance but do not need to be on the sand, and who are comfortable driving for most errands. It does not suit anyone who wants to walk to shops, cafes and services every day, because those are in Estepona town, twelve minutes away by car.

Equilibrio Apartments: Frequently Asked Questions
How far is the beach and can you walk there?
The nearest beach is 763 metres away, which is a ten-minute walk. That makes it close enough for a morning swim or an evening stroll without needing the car, but you are not stepping straight onto the sand from your terrace. The walk is flat and manageable for most people.
What is within walking distance from these apartments?
The beach is within walking distance at ten minutes, and the golf academy is walkable if you do not mind twenty minutes on foot. Everything else requires a car: the nearest supermarket is 1.8 kilometres away, Estepona town is 6.3 kilometres, and the marina is 4.8 kilometres. This is a quiet beachside location, not a high-street setting.
Do the apartments have private or shared outdoor space?
Each apartment has a private terrace, ranging from 17 to 183 square metres depending on which unit you choose. The pool and gardens are communal, shared among just fifteen households. That means you have your own outdoor space plus access to maintained grounds without the upkeep falling to you alone.
What facilities are nearby for families in Estepona?
Colegio Diocesano Juan XXIII is a five-minute drive away, and Hospital de Alta Resolución de Estepona is 2.1 kilometres, about six minutes by car. The nearest supermarket is 1.8 kilometres away. Most family errands require a car because the development sits on the quiet beachside edge of the area, not in the town centre.
How far is the airport from these apartments?
Gibraltar Airport is 30 kilometres away, a 41-minute drive under normal traffic. That makes it manageable for weekend trips and lock-up-and-leave use, though you will still want to allow extra time during peak travel weeks. Málaga Airport is the larger alternative but sits further east along the coast.
How does buying off-plan work in Spain?
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.
Are my deposits protected if the developer goes bust?
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.
What building guarantees come with a new-build?
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.
What taxes apply to new-build property in Spain?
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.
Can I customise finishes and layout before completion?
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.
How long will construction take?
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.
What should I check before signing an off-plan contract?
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.
Do I need a NIE and Spanish bank account to buy off-plan?
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.
Can non-residents get a Spanish mortgage?
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.
Should I get pre-approval before viewing?
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.
What taxes will I pay buying a property in Estepona?
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.
What ongoing costs should I expect?
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.
Are agent fees paid by the buyer or seller?
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.
