About Unika Estepona
Six homes in our listings, and all six have confirmed sea views. At Unika Estepona, that is the first thing we tell buyers. The complex is in Buenas Noches, between Estepona and Casares, at around 51 metres above sea level and, according to the project information, 700 metres from La Galera beach. The homes have two or three bedrooms, prices start at €539,000 and completion of the first phase is scheduled for November 2026.
That first phase comprises 60 apartments: ground-floor homes with a private garden, first-floor apartments with large terraces and penthouses with a solarium. The most affordable home is a two-bedroom ground-floor apartment with 140 m² and a 52 m² terrace for €539,000. With three bedrooms on the first floor you get 165 m² and an 82 m² terrace for €659,000. If you live outdoors a lot, look at the ground-floor apartment with a 167 m² terrace for €730,000, or the three-bedroom penthouse with a 168 m² terrace and a 110 m² solarium for €1,081,000.
The complex has facilities you would sooner expect in a hotel: a heated indoor pool, a sauna and hammam, a gym and yoga room and a coworking space. Outside there is a pool with a children's pool and bicycle storage. Access is secured with cameras and an app. A parking space and storage room are included in the price.

Unika Estepona in figures
At €4,196 per m², Unika is 17% below the median for new builds in Estepona (€5,038) and 16% below resale homes (€5,021). For a development with sea views and a spa, that is a keen price, although the location on the western edge is part of the reason. The outdoor space stands out: for the median home it is 72% of the indoor area, better than 86% of developments in the municipality, with up to 278 m² for the largest penthouse. A third bedroom costs an extra €120,000. With VAT (€53,900), stamp duty (€6,468), notary (€3,200) and lawyer (€6,500), the entry-level apartment costs €609,068 in total.
| Price | € 539.000 |
| VAT (IVA) 10% | € 53.900 |
| Stamp duty (AJD) 1.2% | € 6.468 |
| Notary and land registry (estimate) | € 3.200 |
| Lawyer 1% + VAT (estimate) | € 6.500 |
Around 13.0% on top of the price in total. All purchase costs explained.
| 2 bedrooms | from €539,000 |

Terrace, solarium and garden combined, as a percentage of the living area (median). That is more than 86% of new developments in Estepona. Largest outdoor space: 278 m².
Planned completion November 2026. 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 quiet residential area on the western side of Estepona, towards Casares, where the coastline is less built up than around Marbella. The development sits slightly elevated, with views over the bay of Estepona and the mountains. Estepona town centre is about 6 km away. You live here in a residential setting surrounded by nature, not in an urban neighbourhood; for most things you get in the car.
In practice, you will be in the car every day. Mercadona is a 5-minute drive away and Estepona hospital 6 minutes. The Albayt golf academy is a 13-minute walk. You reach Estepona town centre in 12 minutes and Puerto Banús in 27 minutes. Gibraltar is 42 minutes away and Málaga airport a 68-minute drive.
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. Unika Estepona sits at around 51 metres above sea level.
All six homes in our listings have confirmed sea views over the bay of Estepona. How wide that view is varies from floor to floor; we check that on site.
Homes and finishes
The homes have an open-plan kitchen and living room, covered and open terraces and aerothermal hot water, with underfloor heating in the bathrooms. According to the project information, the insulation is of a high standard, with energy rating B or A; our data shows B. Portals also mention built-in wardrobes. We request the full materials list and, at completion, look closely at the drainage of the large terraces and solariums and at how the aerothermal system performs.
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 Unika Estepona through Privé.

- Plenty of outdoor space: better than 86% of developments in the municipality.
- Indoor pool, sauna, hammam and coworking: suited to year-round use.

Points to consider
- One portal gives the first quarter of 2027 for completion; get the schedule confirmed.

- According to portals, the whole project has 149 homes in two phases: more building work will follow.
- Allow at least half an hour's drive to Puerto Banús and Marbella.

Who is Unika Estepona right for?
Unika Estepona suits buyers who want sea views and large terraces for a price below the Estepona average, and those who will also use the apartment in winter. With coworking and an indoor pool, it is also practical if you work remotely. It is less suitable if you want to do everything on foot or have Marbella's nightlife close by.
