Description:Estepona is a medium-sized town and is a seaside resort offering long (more than 30 km) of sandy beaches. It is less developed than other coastal resorts so is relatively more tranquil with large surrounding areas of unspoilt countryside –retaining a more ‘Spanish’ character.

It is located on the far west side of the coast and there are mountain villages that surround the town. Although traditionally a peaceful resort, it is becoming more popular, particularly with golfers.  Sights to see include the clock tower, Los Remedios church, traditional old houses and castle remains. There are a number of high streets which mainly consist of fashion boutiques and leather stores. Festivities include carnival week in 2nd week of February and a fiesta on the 15th of May. Estepona is a 45 minute drive to Gibraltar.

There is a constant shortage of rental properties in Estepona, especially town houses and villas for long-term lets.  This has driven the price up of town house and villas due to the business investors moving in.  But there are still some to be had and you’ll have no problem letting them.

Estepona is one of the hottest resorts and the season is almost all year round.  Rental demand is consistent throughout the year and will be in the future.  Yields will be stable for at least the next 5 years.  There is no sign of major capital growth within this time but over the long term it will move in line with the average.
