Estepona is situated at the southern end of the Costa del Sol and has grown to one of the most popular holiday resorts in Andalusia within the last few years.

Comfortable holiday accommodations of all types and a perfect infrastructure mix with the natural beauty of the area and the finest beaches to create a holiday resort for the highest standard.

Culturaly interested visitors will have a great time in Estepona: the museums of the city are situated in the former bullfighting arena of Estepona. Several archaeological sites and monuments, which are open to the public, give a good impression of past eras, when the Romans, the Phoenicians and later the Arabs put their fingerprints on the city.

In particular, the era of the Moors has left its visible tracks in Estepona. The Arabic-stlye built houses and the always present Flamenco music are very alive witnesses of this era.

The Selwo Aventura Park near Estepona is an adventure for young and old. 2000 animals from 200 different species of all continents can be watched during a Safari in this park of more than 100 hectar. The Selwo Park has managed to reproduce the natural environments of these animals impressingly. So, elefants, girafes, zebras rhinoceroses, tigers, lions, monkeys and many other species wait to be visited.

Restaurants in Estepona

The Andalusian kitchen can show off with a couple of special treats. Of course, sea food and fish is of highest quality here and being offered in most restaurants in Estepona.

We also recommend to visit a typical Bodega in the old center of Estepona where "Tapas" are being offered from a wide glass cabinet on top of the bar. A "Tapa" is a small plate of food being served with a beer, so you wouldn't have to drink the beer with an empty stomach. Usually, a tapa costs 1€, just like the glass of beer.

Sailing in Estepona - Sailing boats, sailing offers, boats to rent

The yacht port of Estepona (Puerto Deportivo) is a 5-minute walk away from the center of the city. There is a feeling of prosperity, created by the expensive yachts, restaurants and shops, which can be found here. 

Several providers offer trips, both with sailing boats, as well as motor yachts. Also fishing from a boat is offered in Estepona. 
The sailing season is due to the mild temperatures in Andalusia throughout the year.

One of the finest golf resorts in Europe is the Valderrama Golf Club. This beautiful golf course is situated right by the sea with beautiful views towards the rock of Gibraltar and the African coast in the background.

Thanks to the climate, the golf season never ends in Andalusia and even in January you can play in thin clothing.

  1. Alcaidesa Golf
  2. Sancti Petri Golf
  3. Almenara Golf
  4. Dehesa Montenmedio Golf

Beaches of Estepona

We recommend to use enough sun screen at any time of the day, because the Andalusian sun can cause sun burns quicker than you think.

To cool down from the heat there is nothing more refreshing than the cristal-blue water of the Atlantic ocean. It won't be any warmer than 20°C in the summer, but neither any colder than 16°C in the winter. It is recommendable to wear a neopren suit for water sports.

The water here is very clean and there's no strong currents to be aware of. Jelly fish and other unpleasant marine animals are not to be found. 

Playa de la Rada

The city's beach in Estepona is located right by the center on the left side of the yacht port. The promenade with its many palm trees is very well-cared and offers plenty of services. In the summer months the Playa de la Rada is the most visited beach of Estepona, but it's large enough to distribute the crowds well. 

Playa del Cristo

Playa del Cristo is on the right side of the yacht port of Estepona. This beach is much smaller than Playa de la Rada. Bay watch towers provide extra security to this beach and you can even rent pedal boats.

Playa Costa Natura

The first nudist beach of the Costa del Sol is named Playa Costa Natura. It can be found a little further west of Playa del Cristo in between two other beaches, Playa Guadalobón and Playa Arroyo Vaqueros.
This beach is of grey color and a bit stoney. 
 

Climate & weather in Estepona

While temperatures in the summer at the Andalusian coast are comfortably warm, it may be unbearably hot just 20km further in the country. Seville, for example, is used to have above 40°C every day while on the coast you only feel 25°C.

In winter time it hardly gets any colder than 16°C, except for the nights which could end up being around 10°C. The temperatures also depend on the wind direction: Levante brings warmer air from the land, Poniente brings cool air form the sea.

The average humidity in summer is around 30%, in the winter it is above 50%.

The probability of rain is very low apart from January til April. Statistically the Costa de la Luz provides more than 300 days of sunshine per year. In fact, rain is always welcome to assure the water supply in summer.
