Apartments in Estepona – Budget Friendly Accommodation

Set on the Costa del Sol, Estepona is a haven of sunshine, sandy beaches, and sparkling sea views. It began to attract tourists around 40 years ago but, despite its popularity, it has retained a cosy, historic feel. In the centre of the town, Moorish architecture rubs shoulders with age-old churches that date back to the 4th Century. During the Moorish reign over the city, Estepona was an important hub thanks to its close proximity to the Straits of Gibraltar. Today, it combines old and new, with a dazzling promenade that stretches the length of the idyllic Playa de la Rada. The Puerto Deportivo, in the heart of the town, is where you’ll find the bustling nightlife, with an array of ambient restaurants and lively bars. Check into one of our Estepona apartments to explore both sides of the town – the historic, cultural side, and the relaxing side with its lush beaches and laidback lifestyle.

Get Adventurous in Estepona

Though it boasts a laidback lifestyle with nuances of traditional Spanish culture and plenty of places to kick back and relax, Estepona is also home to a number of adventurous activities for the more adrenalin-inspired traveller.

You can take an off-road buggy ride around the surrounding landscapes, whizzing through mountain scenery and admiring the incredible views over the Costa del Sol. Usually, you’ll have a guide who will divulge snippets of information about the region’s history and culture along the way, giving you a fun and educational experience at the same time.

If you’re looking for something a little more leisurely, you can join one of the sea fishing trips that leave regularly from the marina. As you glide along the Mediterranean Sea, you can learn the ropes of fishing and hopefully make some catches of your own to cook up in one of our Estepona apartments. Experienced fishermen will impart their knowledge of the pastime and the industry in Spain, so you’ll get an all-round experience.

Take things up a level with a speedboat ride, a popular way to explore Estepona’s coastline from a different perspective. Rides usually leave from the town’s port, and you can whizz through the waves under the warm watch of the Spanish sun.

Escaping to Estepona – Getting to the Town from the Airport

The nearest airport to Estepona is Malaga Airport, which offers great connections to Estepona and the rest of the Costa del Sol.

Alternatively, you can hop in a taxi from one of the stands outside the airport. The journey is quick and reasonably cheap, but it’s a good idea to set a price before you leave.

A lot of people choose to hire a car from Malaga airport and drive through the stunning Costa del Sol to Estepona.
