Guadalob\u00f3n is the coastal stretch where the Arroyo Guadalob\u00f3n meets the Mediterranean, about 4 km west of Estepona’s old town along the N-340\/AP-7 coast road. The name covers the beach itself (Playa de Guadalob\u00f3n) and the residential cluster above it, known locally as Urbanizaci\u00f3n Altos de Guadalob\u00f3n, within the wider hamlet of Saladavieja. It sits directly next to Costa Natura, Spain’s first official naturist resort, which opened here in 1979 and remains the area’s main landmark.<\/p>\n
The housing is low-rise: apartment blocks and a scattering of villas built in phases from the 1980s onward along the coast road, with no high-rise development. The beach is a working local beach rather than a resort strip \u2014 quieter than Estepona’s town beaches, with direct access from the A-7, popular with residents for swimming and walking rather than as a tourist draw.<\/p>\n
Being on the coast road puts Guadalob\u00f3n within easy reach of both directions: Estepona’s old town and port are about 4 km east, and San Pedro de Alc\u00e1ntara and Marbella are reachable along the same AP-7 corridor to the northeast. It suits owners who want to be outside the town centre but still car-dependent for shops, schools and everyday errands, since there is no rail link and the nearest supermarkets are a short drive away.<\/p>\n
Guadalob\u00f3n est l'une des dix-sept plages de notre guide des plages d'Estepona<\/a>, qui couvre les dates des ma\u00eetres nageurs et le quartier derri\u00e8re chacune d'elles, et le Senda Litoral<\/a> la relie \u00e0 pied au port et \u00e0 la vieille ville \u00e0 4 km \u00e0 l'est. La propri\u00e9t\u00e9 ici n'appara\u00eet que rarement ; le seul projet que nous proposons actuellement sur ce tron\u00e7on est Biubay, cinq villas en bord de mer, sur notre page des nouveaux d\u00e9veloppements d'Estepona<\/a>, et les reventes, quand nous en avons, sur notre page immobili\u00e8re d'Estepona<\/a>. Les voisins, Seghers<\/a> vers le port et La Gaspara<\/a> et Punta Plata<\/a> to the west, have their own guides, and Estepona’s council r\u00e9duit l'IBI et les taxes d'enl\u00e8vement des ordures en 2026<\/a>.<\/p>\n A mix of long-term residents and retirees in the apartment blocks above the beach, plus owners connected to Costa Natura’s holiday-let apartments next door. It is not a golf or new-build hotspot like the areas further inland (Valle Romano, Estepona Golf) \u2014 the draw here is direct beach access on the coast road rather than proximity to any golf course.<\/p>\n Yes. Guadalob\u00f3n refers to the coastal strip at the mouth of the Arroyo Guadalob\u00f3n, including Playa de Guadalob\u00f3n itself and the Urbanizaci\u00f3n Altos de Guadalob\u00f3n cluster above it – it is not an inland area.<\/p>\n No. Both courses are several kilometres inland\/northeast of the coast road – a short drive, but not walking distance from any property in Guadalob\u00f3n.<\/p>\n Costa Natura, right next to Guadalob\u00f3n, is Spain’s first officially recognised naturist resort, open since 1979, with its own pool, spa and beachfront restaurant.<\/p>\n Environ 4 km \u00e0 l'est le long de la route c\u00f4ti\u00e8re N-340\/AP-7.<\/p>\n Oui. Il n'y a pas de gare \u00e0 proximit\u00e9 et les supermarch\u00e9s les plus proches (Carrefour, Supercor) sont \u00e0 Puerto Estepona, environ 2 km \u00e0 l'est.<\/p>\n Sur la c\u00f4te \u00e0 environ 4 km \u00e0 l'ouest de la vieille ville d'Estepona, o\u00f9 l'Arroyo Guadalob\u00f3n atteint la mer, \u00e0 c\u00f4t\u00e9 du resort naturiste Costa Natura, dans le hameau de Saladavieja. Le port d'Estepona est \u00e0 2 km \u00e0 l'est ; Casares et Sabinillas sont \u00e0 10 minutes \u00e0 l'ouest ; l'a\u00e9roport de Gibraltar est \u00e0 environ 45 minutes.<\/p>\n Occasionnellement. Le logement est compos\u00e9 d'appartements de faible hauteur au-dessus de la plage et d'une poign\u00e9e de villas, et le renouvellement est lent. Au moment de la r\u00e9daction, le seul projet que nous proposons sur ce tron\u00e7on est Biubay, cinq villas en bord de mer ; les reventes apparaissent sur notre page de propri\u00e9t\u00e9s \u00e0 Estepona quand nous en avons.<\/p>\n Une plage plus tranquille et moins construite que celles de la ville, avec la Senda Litoral qui la longe et la section naturiste de Costa Natura \u00e0 c\u00f4t\u00e9. Ce n'est pas une plage de promenade : pas de bande de chiringuito, moins de monde, et la mer directement en dessous des appartements.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" What is Guadalob\u00f3n?
