What is Marina de Casares?
Marina de Casares is the newest and most ambitious development on the western Costa del Sol. Built around a private marina on the Casares coastline, it represents the area’s transformation from quiet backwater to one of the coast’s most talked-about emerging addresses. Modern apartment buildings and penthouses line the waterfront, many delivered in the last five years by developers such as Metrovacesa, Taylor Wimpey and Neinor Homes.
The appeal is straightforward: frontline Mediterranean living at prices that would be unthinkable in Marbella or Estepona. Two-bedroom apartments with sea views start from around €300,000, while large penthouses with private pools top out around €1.2 million. The marina adds a layer of lifestyle — boat moorings, waterfront dining, and a sense of place that generic beachfront blocks lack.
The area sits on the A-7 coastal road between Estepona and Sotogrande, giving residents easy access to both. Finca Cortesín is five minutes inland, La Duquesa marina ten minutes west, and Estepona’s old town twenty minutes east. For buyers seeking new-build quality with genuine beach access at western Costa del Sol prices, Marina de Casares is hard to beat.
