About this property

Overview

Las Mesas Sea Suite is a small, gated apartment scheme set just off the coastal strip in Estepona, a few minutes from the beach and the marina. The homes themselves are large: two-bedroom apartments start at 137 square metres and three-bedroom units reach 166 square metres. The terraces vary considerably, from 35 square metres on some units to 144 square metres on others, so anyone buying here should check which one comes with the apartment they are looking at. The penthouses at the top end offer wraparound terraces with sea views, while ground-floor units open directly onto garden.

The development sits between the AP-7 motorway and the sea. Playa del Cristo is a 15 minute walk, or three minutes by car. Estepona's marina is even closer, less than three minutes away, and the town centre is six minutes. You can walk to the beach, but a car makes everything easier. The immediate surroundings include the new Parque Las Mesas, a large park right beside the development that provides green space without leaving the neighbourhood. Gibraltar Airport is 43 minutes south.

The gated scheme includes a fitness room, Turkish bath and sauna, all shared. The combination of large floor areas, substantial terraces and a good location between town and beach makes these apartments work well for permanent residents, particularly families who want space and proximity to schools. The downside is the motorway: while the development sits on the quieter seaward side of it, road noise will be audible from some orientations. This is not a remote or quiet hillside setting.

The homes suit buyers who want generous internal space and a manageable walk to the sea, rather than absolute frontline position. The layout and communal facilities make the scheme practical for year-round living.

Las Mesas Sea Suite sits on the sea side of the AP-7, between the motorway and the Mediterranean coast. Playa del Cristo is a 15 minute walk away, making beach access straightforward on foot or a quick 3 minute drive. The development is less than 3 minutes from Puerto Estepona marina, and Estepona town centre is 6 minutes away by car for everyday amenities. Gibraltar Airport is 43 minutes south, while Azata Golf sits 11 minutes inland if you play regularly. The location works well for families wanting beach proximity with good schools nearby, as well as for holiday buyers who value both sea access and easy motorway connections.

Las Mesas Sea Suite: Frequently Asked Questions

Playa del Cristo is 1.2 kilometres away, which is a 15 minute walk or three minutes by car. The development sits on the seaward side of the AP-7 motorway, so you cross the coast road but not the motorway itself to reach the beach. Puerto Estepona marina is closer still, less than a kilometre from the development.

Each apartment has its own private terrace, and the sizes vary widely across the scheme. Some units have 35 square metres of terrace, while others have 144 square metres. Ground-floor apartments open directly onto private garden areas, and the penthouses have wraparound terraces with sea views. There is no communal garden, but Parque Las Mesas sits immediately beside the development.

Colegio de Educación Infantil y Primaría Ramón García is one minute by car, and the development sits six minutes from Estepona town centre where most schools and services are. Hospital de Alta Resolución de Estepona is eight minutes away by car. A supermarket is 200 metres from the development, close enough to walk.

The homes are split between north-east and south-west facing. South-west facing units get afternoon and evening sun and offer the best chance of sea views, particularly from the upper floors. North-east facing apartments look inland and receive morning light. The development sits between the motorway and the coast, so orientation affects both light and road noise.

Gibraltar Airport is 35 kilometres south, about 43 minutes by car along the coast road. The distance makes the apartments practical for owners who fly in and out regularly, though Málaga Airport is the larger and better-connected option for most routes. The combination of airport access and a gated scheme suits lock-up-and-leave use.

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.
