Make a holiday rental home, or villa in Estepona Spain your home away from home

Estepona, Spain is a vibrant beach town on the Costa del Sol. Although Estepona provides all the services required from a resort town, it has largely avoided the concrete development common to much of the Costa del Sol. The town retains its small town atmosphere, with traditional Andalucian whitewashed houses, cobbled streets and numerous cafes looking out over the sea. Not only do Estepona villas and property rentals also allow you to relax and enjoy the beaches by day, they also give you the flexibility to enjoy the vibrant restaurants and bars in the evenings.

Things to do in Estepona, Spain

The beaches of the Costa del Sol are renowned throughout Europe, and those around Estepona are no different. The most accessible, and popular, from Estepona villas is the beach of La Rada. Situated in the middle of the town, it offers all the major water sports, including jet skiing, diving and safe swimming, but also has charinguitos or beach bars for refreshments. Quieter, more secluded beaches can also be found within a short distance of Estepona. Playa del Castor, Rui Castor and El Cristo are sheltered and less crowded beaches only a short walk from Estepona's main square, and there is a naturist beach at Costa Natura.

In Estepona Town itself, the Plaza de las Flores acts as a bustling meeting point where guides to some of Estepona's historic sites can be found. The town has a long history, and some remarkable buildings dominate the main square and old town. Nestled in small cobbled streets are buildings like the Castillo del Nicio and the ominous Torre del Reloj. The marina is known for the luxurious yachts moored there, and the bustling Saturday markets. This is also where most of Estepona's bars and restaurants are, and the Estepona marina takes on a new feel at night time when the bars overflow onto the streets.

There are also two fantastic 'pay as you play' golf courses within 15 minutes of Estepona town: the Estepona Golf course, an eighteen hole course 1km from the town centre, and the Los Flamingos Golf and Country Club. Along the New Golden Mile is the Selwo Aventura, a safari park boasting, amongst other creatures, lions, elephants and tigers, roaming free over the 100 hectare site.
