Estepona, fondly known as “the town of flowers,” has undergone one of the most remarkable transformations on the Costa del Sol. Under the long-term vision of its mayor, José María García Urbano, Estepona has flourished — not only in beauty, but in quality of life, infrastructure, and international appeal.

Over the past decade, the town has invested heavily in public spaces, cultural amenities, and year-round lifestyle facilities. Among the most notable improvements are:

• The Estepona Orchidarium — a striking glass-domed botanical sanctuary and cultural landmark.

• The new public hospital, expanding healthcare access across the West Costa del Sol.
• The expanded beachfront promenade, now offering miles of coastal walking and cycling routes.
• Las Mesas Sports Center, with modern gym facilities, paddle courts, tennis areas, and wellness programming.

• Extensive green-zone regeneration, with landscaped parks, pedestrian boulevards, and outdoor gathering spaces that give the town a fresh, cared-for, and beautifully lush atmosphere.

These improvements have helped attract a truly diverse international community. Today, Estepona is home to expats, digital nomads, entrepreneurs, and families from across Europe and beyond — drawn to its relaxed lifestyle, seaside charm, and welcoming local culture.

And within this newly revitalized town, one area stands out more than ever:

Las Mesas: Where Urban Living Meets the Sea

As Estepona expanded, a new urban neighborhood began taking shape just above the marina — Las Mesas, a zone offering open sea views combined with full walkability to the town centre and beach.

The new era of Las Mesas began around 2017, when the first contemporary developments were launched, bringing something fresh to the market:

walk-to-town + walk-to-beach + sea views + brand-new modern homes — all in one place.

The first developments to define the area included:

• Scenic Estepona
• Alexia Life
• Mesas Homes
• South Bay

These projects sold quickly — buyers recognized that this combination is rare on the Costa del Sol. Their success signaled that Las Mesas had captured a new lifestyle demand and set the foundation for continued development.

A Fast-Growing Hub With Strong Investment Momentum

Today, Las Mesas is one of the fastest-growing residential areas in Estepona, with new, high-quality developments continuing to shape the skyline. The area now appeals to a wide range of buyers — from full-time residents to lifestyle seekers and long-term investors — thanks to its modern design, walkability, sea views, and easy everyday living.

Below are two notable opportunities currently on the market:

Maralto

https://alphaestates.com/property/R5151052/
A newly launched development showcasing modern Mediterranean architecture, spacious terraces, and elevated views over the sea and town. Because it is still in the early sales phase, buyers can secure strong unit selection and competitive entry pricing — something increasingly rare in this high-demand area.

Asperia

https://alphaestates.com/property/R4835923/
A new residential project featuring 43 apartments and penthouses, along with 4 commercial spaces, located near Estepona’s central park. This development is ideal for those seeking urban living with easy access to everyday conveniences, while selected units enjoy partial sea views and open green surroundings.

Las Mesas Sea Suites & Infinity Homes

https://alphaestates.com/property/R4913446/

https://alphaestates.com/property/R5085502/
Two contemporary new-build projects positioned near Parque de Las Mesas, offering stylish design and a prime walkable location. Both complexes are well-suited for year-round living, thanks to a balanced blend of modern amenities, sea proximity, and connection to local services.

Portamare

https://alphaestates.com/property/R4913176/
A boutique development of just 22 exclusive properties, located directly by Estepona Port. The combination of central location and a small, private community feel makes Portamare ideal for those seeking a coastal home with character and convenience.

Mesas Blue Horizon

https://alphaestates.com/property/R4808326/
A newly launched boutique development considered one of the most architecturally striking projects in Las Mesas. Blue Horizon combines spectacular contemporary design, panoramic views, and a serene elevated setting — offering a refined residential atmosphere with strong long-term value appeal.

Insur Scala

https://alphaestates.com/property/R4268065/
A contemporary residence focused on wellness and lifestyle, featuring landscaped communal areas, spacious pool zones, and proximity to shopping, schools, and the marina. Positioned just above Las Mesas, it still maintains excellent walkability to both the town and the beach, making it a top choice for full-time living or rental investment.

Why Las Mesas Is Considered a Strong Investment

Even with rising demand and price appreciation, Las Mesas continues to offer excellent value, particularly when compared to consolidated beachfront areas where availability is limited.

Property values in Las Mesas are expected to outperform due to:

• Ongoing public and infrastructure investment
• Increasing interest from international buyers
• Limited central land supply
• A growing year-round resident community

Las Mesas is about as close to a “waterproof investment” as it gets — which is slightly ironic on the Costa del Sol, where we enjoy around 325 days of sunshine a year.

In the End…

Las Mesas is not just a new neighborhood — it represents the future lifestyle direction of Estepona.

A place where:

• The sea is always in view
• Town life is just a stroll away
• Urban convenience blends effortlessly with Mediterranean calm

Whether you’re searching for your next home, a lifestyle upgrade, or a strategic long-term investment, Las Mesas is an area to watch — and to act on sooner rather than later.
