Apartments in Estepona

Estepona has more than one thousand five hundred places in tourist apartments, so you'll find options for almost any budget. The offer is concentrated mainly in the old town, the beach area and the eastern part, near Puerto Banús. If what you're looking for is atmosphere, the center leaves you right at bars, restaurants and shops, although parking is complicated and the buildings are usually old, with fewer elevators and more noise. The beach area, from la Rada to el Cristo, is the most in demand in summer: you have the promenade, beach bars and direct access to the sand, but the price per night rises quite a bit in July and August. The eastern part, already towards Nueva Andalucía, is quieter and more residential, with developments with a pool and easier for parking, although you'll need a car for almost everything.

As for prices, the minimum is around 75 euros per night, but you find that in low season and in small studios. The average is 250 euros, so if you travel in June or September you can get a good balance between weather and rate. To get there, the most practical thing is to fly to Málaga and take a rental car: it's about forty-five minutes on the highway. There are also buses from the Málaga station, but they limit you for getting around the area. Within Estepona, walking is viable if you stay in the center or on the beach, but to go to Puerto Banús or the coves of the west you need transport.

Before booking, check carefully what the apartment includes: many times the price doesn't include final cleaning, nor bed linen, nor quality wifi. Also look at whether it has an elevator, real air conditioning (not just a fan) and whether the pool is communal or private. Read recent reviews about noise and the state of the furniture, because in this area there is a lot of old offer that stays so-so. And check the exact distance to the beach: some listings say "beachfront" when in reality you have to cross a road or walk ten minutes. With that clear, choosing among the 1528 available apartments will be much simpler.
