About Equilibrio Apartments
Living close to the sea without ending up in a large resort: that is the essence of Equilibrio Apartments. The project has just 15 apartments, in three blocks of five, within a gated complex with CCTV. The beach is around 220 metres away. Every home we currently offer looks out to sea. Construction is heading for completion in December 2026, so in a few months' time.
Three types are available. A first-floor two-bedroom apartment of 91 m² with a 17 m² terrace costs €570,000. The same floor plan on the ground floor, but with 41 m² of terrace, is priced at €670,000. At the top is a three-bedroom penthouse with 109 m² inside and no less than 183 m² of outdoor space, for €1,250,000. Every home has a parking space, a storage room and lift access. The energy rating is B.
What you are buying is above all location and views. The architecture uses large expanses of glass, so you see the sea from the living area and watch the sun rise over the water in the morning. The downside is the price: per square metre, this is in the upper bracket for Estepona. We will talk through with you whether the view is worth it for your plans.

Equilibrio Apartments in figures
The median apartment here costs €7,363 per m². That is 46% above the €5,038 median for new builds in Estepona and 47% above resale homes (€5,021). So you are clearly paying for the proximity of the beach and the sea views. The cheapest home costs €570,000; with 10% VAT (€57,000), stamp duty (€6,840), notary (€3,400) and lawyer (€6,900) you reach €644,140, about 13% extra. The jump from two to three bedrooms is big: the penthouse costs €680,000 more than the cheapest apartment, mainly because of its 183 m² terrace. On the plus side, with completion in 2 months you are well below the median waiting time of 8 months in the municipality.

Location
Buenas Noches is a small, long-established neighbourhood west of Estepona, towards Sabinillas and Puerto Duquesa. It lies on both sides of the A-7 and the land rises gently, so many homes look out over the sea. There is a small shopping centre, a petrol station and a footbridge over the coast road. The beach is called Playa de la Galera or Playa Buenas Noches: a quiet stretch of coast with the small rocky islet of Islote de las Palomas at one end.
In practice you walk to the sea and take the car for everything else. Mercadona is a 4-minute drive, Estepona hospital 5 minutes. Golfers will find a driving range 3 minutes away by car or 11 minutes on foot. You reach Estepona town centre in 11 minutes and Puerto Banús in 26. Gibraltar airport is 41 minutes away, Málaga airport 67.

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. Equilibrio Apartments sits at around 25 metres above sea level.
According to the data, all three available homes have sea views. The glazing faces the sea, so you can watch the sunrise over the water. For each apartment we check how unobstructed the view remains over the A-7 and the surrounding buildings.
Homes and finishes
The available information on finishes is limited: large panoramic windows, a modern layout and quality materials, but no detailed specification list. There is no show home. So before any reservation we request the full technical specifications and check, among other things, the window frames, the insulation, the type of air conditioning and what comes as standard in the kitchen. As completion is close, we can often go and look on site in the nearly finished blocks.
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 Equilibrio Apartments through Privé.

Our honest verdict on Equilibrio Apartments
Strengths
- The beach is around 220 metres away, within walking distance of your front door.
- Sea views from every home currently for sale.
- Small scale: 15 apartments in three blocks, so a quiet community.
- Completion in December 2026, so you can soon use or rent it out.
- The penthouse has 183 m² of terrace, more than its interior area.
Points to consider
- The price per m² is 46% above the new-build median in Estepona.
- The upper-floor apartments have only 17 m² of terrace, which is limited for this price bracket.
- For shopping, restaurants and the town centre you depend on the car.
- The A-7 runs right through the area; check noise and views for each home.
- The penthouse has three bedrooms but only two bathrooms.
Who is Equilibrio Apartments right for?
Equilibrio Apartments suits those for whom the beach matters more than a wide range of amenities within walking distance, and buyers who want to enjoy their home soon. It works well as a second home for a couple. If you mainly want plenty of square metres for your budget, or want to do everything on foot in a lively neighbourhood, Estepona town centre or other projects offer more.
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.

- 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.

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.

According to the project data, the beach is around 220 metres away. It is Playa de la Galera, also known as Playa Buenas Noches: a smaller, quiet bay west of Estepona.
Is Equilibrio Apartments suitable for wintering in Estepona?
The sea-facing position and large windows make it appealing in autumn and winter. In December you get about 9.7 hours of daylight. Do ask which heating system is included, though, as this is not in the available data.
When is completion?
Completion is scheduled for December 2026. That makes this one of the quicker options in Estepona, where the median waiting time for new builds is 8 months. We monitor the schedule for you right up to the handover of the keys.
What does an apartment cost in total?
For the €570,000 apartment, VAT, stamp duty, notary and lawyer bring the total to around €644,140. For the €670,000 ground-floor apartment and the €1,250,000 penthouse, the additional costs are in the same region of 13%.
Do I pay more if I buy Equilibrio Apartments 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 Equilibrio Apartments, that adds up to around 13.0%.
