About Balcon Del Mediterraneo
The name says it all: from a hillside in Selwo, you look out over the Mediterranean. Balcón del Mediterráneo consists of large apartments and penthouses with 3, 4 and 5 bedrooms, designed for those who really want space. The five homes we have available offer between 204 and 281 m² built, with as many bathrooms as bedrooms. All five are listed with sea views.
What stands out straight away is the scale of the indoor space. On this coast, a 256 m² apartment with five bedrooms is more like a villa in apartment form. Every home comes with two parking spaces and a storage room, which makes a real difference for large families or when friends come to stay. The terraces, on the other hand, are modest: from 27 m² for a first-floor apartment to 83 m² for the largest ground floor apartment. If you mainly want to live outdoors, weigh that up carefully.
The complex will have a large outdoor pool with sea views, a spa and a fully equipped gym. There will also be a café and a coworking space on site. According to other agents, there is also a heated indoor pool, a sauna and a golf simulator; we will confirm these details phase by phase. The whole development is gated.

Balcon Del Mediterraneo in figures
The median price of €7,255 per m² is 44% above the new-build median in Estepona (€5,038, 71 projects) and also 44% above resale homes. So you are paying for views and size. The price ladder is striking: the five-bedroom home starts at €1,763,000, while the cheapest four-bedroom costs €2,104,000, because it is a ground floor apartment with a larger terrace. So look at the unit, not just the number of bedrooms. With all taxes and costs, the entry price of €1,442,000 becomes around €1,629,604. Outdoor space is limited: a median of 19% of the home, less than in most developments.
| Price | € 1.442.000 |
| VAT (IVA) 10% | € 144.200 |
| Stamp duty (AJD) 1.2% | € 17.304 |
| Notary and land registry (estimate) | € 8.700 |
| Lawyer 1% + VAT (estimate) | € 17.400 |
Around 13.0% on top of the price in total. All purchase costs explained.

Terrace, solarium and garden combined, as a percentage of the living area (median). That is more than 11% of new developments in Estepona. Largest outdoor space: 83 m².
Planned completion October 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
Selwo lies above the A7, on the stretch of the New Golden Mile between Estepona and San Pedro. The area is named after the Selwo Aventura wildlife park and sits higher than the coastline; this development is at around 98 metres. That gives you views over the sea, but the beach is not on your doorstep. There are several golf courses nearby, including La Resina, and along the coast you will find hotels, beach clubs and restaurants.
Daily life here revolves around the car. Guadalmansa beach is an 8-minute drive, and so is Aldi. La Resina golf course is 8 minutes by car or 33 minutes on foot. Hospiten hospital is 6 minutes away. Estepona town centre is 15 minutes away, Puerto Banús 18 minutes and Málaga airport 62 minutes.
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 7:02 on 21 June and sets at 21:41, giving 14.7 hours of daylight. On 21 December you still have 9.7 hours, with the midday sun at 30° above the horizon. Balcon Del Mediterraneo sits at around 98 metres above sea level.
All available homes are listed with sea views. Other sources mention south-west and south-east orientations. For each unit we check whether the view will stay open, as there is still a lot of building going on in Selwo.
Homes and finishes
The developer gives few technical details in our feed. Other agents mention kitchens with branded appliances, quartz worktops, designer sanitaryware, aerothermal systems and home automation. Our data shows energy rating B, while another source states A; we will put that difference to the developer. As construction runs until October 2027, we will request the full specification sheet, the building licence and the bank guarantee on stage payments. We also study the floor plans: with 3 bathrooms in 204 m², you want to be sure the rooms do not end up too narrow.
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 Balcon Del Mediterraneo through Privé.

Our honest verdict on Balcon Del Mediterraneo
Strengths
- Sea views confirmed for all five available homes.
- Very spacious floor plans of 204 to 281 m², with up to five bedrooms.
- Two parking spaces and a storage room with every home.
- Hospital 6 minutes and golf 8 minutes away by car.
- Coworking and café on site, handy for long stays.
Points to consider
- Completion not until October 2027, later than most developments in Estepona.
- Terraces are small for homes of this size, a median of 19% of the floor area.
- Beach not within walking distance: a 59-minute walk, 8 minutes by car.
- Price per m² is 44% above the new-build median in the municipality.
- Energy rating differs between sources and needs to be confirmed.
Who is Balcon Del Mediterraneo right for?
This development suits large families or buyers who often have relatives to stay and value indoor space more than a huge terrace. If you want sea views and use the car every day, you will be well placed here. If you are looking for a home that is ready now, or you want to do everything on foot, we would rather recommend a development closer to the coast.

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.

Frequently asked questions about Balcon Del Mediterraneo
When will Balcón del Mediterráneo be completed?
Completion is planned for October 2027. That is around a year later than the median for other developments in Estepona. During construction you pay in instalments, covered by a bank guarantee that we check for you.
Do all the apartments have sea views?
The five homes we have available are all listed with sea views. How wide that view is depends on the floor and position. For each unit we compare the floor plan with the site layout.
Why is a five-bedroom apartment cheaper than a four-bedroom one?
The five-bedroom home costs €1,763,000 and is on the first floor. The four-bedroom home at €2,104,000 is on the ground floor, larger (281 m²) and has an 83 m² terrace. Position and outdoor space weigh more heavily here than the number of bedrooms.
Can you spend the winter in Estepona from a base in Selwo?
Yes. Selwo is lived in all year round and the hospital is 6 minutes away. In December you get around 9.7 hours of daylight and the midday sun stands at 30 degrees, which still feels pleasantly warm on a south-facing terrace.
Do I pay more if I buy Balcon Del Mediterraneo through Imagine Marbella?
No. You pay the same price as buying directly from the seller. Through us you also get independent advice, legal guidance and aftercare.
What costs come on top of the price of a new-build home?
In Andalusia, a new build carries 10% VAT (IVA) and 1.2% stamp duty (AJD), plus notary, land registry and lawyer's fees. For the most affordable home in Balcon Del Mediterraneo, that adds up to around 13.0%.
