Estepona: Better than Marbella? - Roundtable Discussion

[@The_Hand283]

Just visited,better then Marbella in terms of quite ,flowers, gardens BEACH much more relaxed less touristy . Centro Estepona absolutely gorgeous reminds me of Capri. Definitely would choose over Marbella however if you’re young in your 20's 30's Maybe will be too boring for you.For me the beach is amazing and everything else absolute winner.

Great feedback - thanks for your input. Much appreciated.

Love your video - great info. Question: how is the public transportation like in Estepona? Is the town walkable? Thanks 🌷

[@CloudNineSpain]

Hi there, yes the town centre is walkable, otherwise buses, cabs are plentiful. Only thing missing is a train service.

[@cjchina]

What's the best way to get to either Màlaga Centro or Màlaga airport? Thanks

[@zoltanandor4958]

Estepona is great but looking at the current growth rate,Im worried about how fast the infrastructure can keep up...stores, doctors, schools, water, roads, etc. Are they also developing those?

[@CloudNineSpain]

It´s a common problem in times of a rising property market. The infrastructure investment rarely keeps pace. At least in Estepona, there is space for infrastructure, and also a forward-thinking mayor who has already achieved so much in the town.

Super good video! Would you recommend buying as an investor for long term rent in Estepona better than in Marbella (Nueva Andalucia)? Many thanks

[@CloudNineSpain]

Both areas are very strong for LT rental. I think the prices in Estepona have more room for growth as it´s a recently developed area.

[@Shamil_Magomedov_]

@@CloudNineSpain Thank you for your answer. My concern is that in "bad times," Estepona would suffer more than Marbella, and I might not be able to rent the property.

[@CloudNineSpain]

@@Shamil_Magomedov_ Anything is possible. At the moment, there is a shortage of good-quality properties for long-term rental, and Estepona is certainly a growth area.

[@Shamil_Magomedov_]

@@CloudNineSpain Thank you. Are there also International clients for long term rental or is more Spanish people? What would be the split?

[@lemonkabullet]

Does Amazon work here?

[@CloudNineSpain]

Yes!

[@bernhardhummel]

Really great and very informative video! Thank you for efforts! Makes me feel once more that buying my apartment in Estepona two years ago was not the worst decision and it seems the value already increased a lot since I bought off-plan. However, love to live in that area and share all you opinions as a client and meanwhile happy resident 100%. ;) Estepona is a great place to live and offers everything you need, also it is still close to the Marbella facilities and even Malaga in case. 🙋‍♂ Greetings also to Jackie!

[@CloudNineSpain]

Thanks Bernhard. So pleased that you are enjoying life in Estepona!!

[@nicoletaburea5674]

Hi Bernhard, nice to hear you are pleased with your purchase. We are looking into buying in Estepona, but would like to get some more inside On how easy is to rent the property on Airbnb. Do you mind to share with your experience?

[@bernhardhummel]

@@nicoletaburea5674 hi pleasure to hear from you. As I use the apartment for myself to live in it, I have so far no experience to share on airbnb renting… 😅😇 🙋‍♂️

[@TigerBoyX15]

Airbnb should be Stopped.. hopefully it will be..

[@iriding64]

What a superb video great job

[@CloudNineSpain]

Thanks Ian

[@KD-kp5hd]

It is all sounds very nice and promising however it is going to be packed very soon as the Marbella. Otherwise, Estepona is one ❤️

[@CloudNineSpain]

Good point!

[@sarapintadolaruelo9317]

Estepona is a wonderful place to live. I have been here for over two years now after living in London. It’s just amazing. However, the idea is not to create it into a new Marbella so that means please make sure you look after it and you still keeping the sensation of being a spanish “village” ❤

[@CloudNineSpain]

Thanks for your feedback 🙏

[@Shawmarketingservices]

We love Estepona - great place to live and holiday

[@CloudNineSpain]

It certainly is!

[@graceeste7469]

Estepona 👍❤️

[@GleeSmee]

New Golden Mile, all the way!

[@Cath789]

We originally were planning on making Fuengirola our base, but now I think Estepona might be exactly what we are looking for.

[@CloudNineSpain]

Sounds like a great plan! Let us know if we can help. Best regards, Sean

[@adrianmatei1358]

Very beautiful is Fuengirola!

[@abdulalnahyan-od8hx]

Estepona is a sort of low cost of Marbella, not as nice. Beaches seemed to me in general poor Sotogrande is the only big luxury resort in the Costa del Sol far better than Quinta do Lago

[@CloudNineSpain]

Beaches are much better these days in Estepona

[@beatapfizer3601]

I find Estepona so much better than Marbella. Much more cozy and authentic

[@CloudNineSpain]

Thanks for your feedback 🙏

[@frevebe7693]

marbella is overrated, only the old center is nice

[@CloudNineSpain]

the old centre is very nice
