Last updated: 20 October 2026
About Absolute Estepona
Buying at Absolute Estepona is above all a choice for outdoor space. The development has 24 apartments and penthouses in Buenas Noches, a quiet stretch of coast between Estepona and Casares. According to the project data, the beach is about 450 metres away. We have three homes on offer, from €644,000 to €1,045,000, all with sea views.
The three types differ greatly. On the first floor is a two-bedroom apartment of 114 m² with a 69 m² terrace. The ground-floor apartment also has two bedrooms and 160 m², but adds 242 m² of terrace and a small private garden. At the top is a three-bedroom penthouse of 187 m² with 190 m² of terrace. Every home has its own parking space, and the building has a lift. The energy rating is B.
Communal facilities include large gardens, a pool and a fully equipped gym. The development is gated. The homes have no private pool, which is not expected in this segment anyway. Buenas Noches is less touristy than Estepona town centre: you live among permanent residents and second-home owners, not among hotels.
Amenities
- Communal pool
- Gym
- Large garden area

Absolute Estepona in figures
The most striking figure is the outdoor space. The median home has a terrace equal to 102% of its interior area, which puts Absolute Estepona ahead of 99% of the projects in our comparison. At €5,588, however, the price per m² is 11% above the median of 71 new developments in Estepona (€5,038) and also 11% above resale homes (€5,021). So the premium buys you terrace space. Moving from two to three bedrooms costs €401,000, because the third bedroom is only found in the penthouse. For the €644,000 entry-level home, you pay €727,828 in total with VAT, stamp duty, notary and lawyer, 13% on top of the price. Completion in 3 months is quicker than the municipal median of 8 months.
| Price | € 644.000 |
| VAT (IVA) 10% | € 64.400 |
| Stamp duty (AJD) 1.2% | € 7.728 |
| Notary and land registry (estimate) | € 3.900 |
| Lawyer 1% + VAT (estimate) | € 7.800 |
Around 13.0% on top of the price in total. All purchase costs explained.
| 2 bedrooms | from €644,000 |
| 3 bedrooms | from €1,045,000 |
Terrace, solarium and garden combined, as a percentage of the living area (median). That is more than 99% of new developments in Estepona. Largest outdoor space: 242 m².
Planned completion January 2027. For half of the new developments in Estepona, completion is within 8 months.
Calculated by Imagine Marbella on 20 October 2026 from the current supply of 71 new developments in Estepona and the average asking price of resale homes according to Idealista (September 2026). Costs are an estimate; we will prepare an exact calculation for you.
Location
Buenas Noches is a coastal neighbourhood on the western side of Estepona, towards Casares. The area long stayed outside the main tourist flow. You notice it in the atmosphere: few crowds, many homes belonging to permanent residents. The project sits at 34 metres above sea level, low enough to be close to the sea and high enough for views over the water. Estepona town centre, with its old streets and marina, is an 11-minute drive.
In practice you often use the car here, even though the beach is close by. The nearest beach in our measurement, Costa Natura, is a 4-minute drive; the beaches towards the town centre are also a short distance away. You reach the supermarket and Estepona hospital in 4 and 5 minutes. A golf academy is an 8-minute walk away. Gibraltar airport is a 41-minute drive, Málaga 67.
We will send you the exact location and the address of the sales office when you request Privé access or book a viewing.

Sun, light and views
Here the sun rises at 7:03 on 21 June and sets at 21:42, giving 14.6 hours of daylight. On 21 December you still have 9.7 hours, with the midday sun at 30° above the horizon. Absolute Estepona sits at around 34 metres above sea level.
According to the data, all three homes we offer have sea views. The orientation of each home is not stated; we check it on the plans and on site, particularly for the ground floor, where planting may limit the view.
Homes and finishes
The homes have large double-glazed windows for better thermal and acoustic insulation, an open-plan living area, kitchens with modern appliances and large-format porcelain floors. The exterior finishes were chosen with energy efficiency in mind, in keeping with the B rating. A full specification was not among our documents. We request it before any reservation and check, among other things, the appliance brands, the type of air conditioning and whether underfloor heating is included, as portals contradict each other on this.
Payment schedule
As with most new builds on the Costa del Sol, you pay in instalments: a reservation deposit, a portion on signing the purchase contract and during construction, and the balance at the deed signing. Every payment before completion must be covered by a bank guarantee. We will send you the exact payment schedule for Absolute Estepona through Privé.

Who is Absolute Estepona right for?
Absolute Estepona suits buyers who want to live outdoors: a couple looking to spend the winter by the sea, or a family seeking a second home with plenty of terrace and little upkeep. It also suits those who prefer peace to nightlife. If you commute to Marbella daily, want lots of restaurants within walking distance or need a third bedroom for under a million, look elsewhere.
Why buy through Imagine Marbella?
With us you pay exactly the same price as buying direct from the developer. Our fee is paid by the seller, not by you. What you get on top is what makes the difference.
- Independent. We are not tied to any development. We compare the entire market and tell you honestly when a project is not right for you.
- Stronger at the negotiating table. Whenever there is room to negotiate, on price, payment schedule, finishes or a parking space, we know the market, the sales figures and the developers. We defend your interests; the seller defends theirs.
- Free extra services. We check licences, bank guarantees and specifications, provide legal support in your own language and plan viewings around your travel dates.
- Beyond the handover. We follow the construction, the handover and the after-sales with you, so you are never on your own.

Off market: what you will not find online
Not every property on the Costa del Sol ends up on a website.
Owners who want to sell discreetly, a last penthouse that has not yet been released, a villa that only comes onto the market when the right buyer appears: part of the market changes hands without a single advert. Already know the market and looking for something you cannot find online? Tell us as precisely as possible what you are looking for. If it exists, we will find it for you.
