Casa Sobremesa : Un Élégant Penthouse En Duplex Avec Un Espace Extérieur Exceptionnel Sur La Plage D'alcazaba, À Estep

Situated within the prestigious frontline beach community of Alcazaba Beach in Estepona, this renovated duplex penthouse occupies a particularly attractive position within one of the Costa del Sol’s most established beachfront residential enclaves. Just a short walk from Estepona’s historic town centre, the property combines direct access to the Mediterranean coastline with the convenience of a fully established urban environment. Daily life here is defined by morning walks along the coastal promenade, beachfront dining and the relaxed rhythm of a community where mature tropical gardens, extensive leisure facilities and proximity to the sea remain central to its appeal.

Alcazaba Beach has long distinguished itself within Estepona’s prime residential market through its architectural identity, landscaped grounds and direct beachfront setting. Designed by renowned architect Melvin Villarroel, the development offers a distinctive Mediterranean character that contrasts with the more recent, higher-density residential developments emerging along the coast. Its established position, mature landscaping and comprehensive amenities, contribute to a residential environment that is increasingly difficult to replicate. For buyers seeking a property with genuine beachfront credentials, established infrastructure and immediate access to Estepona, this community represents a particularly compelling proposition.

The duplex penthouse has been renovated in 2025 with a bespoke interior concept that combines curved architectural details, arched openings, warm wood finishes, pale natural stone and subtle metallic accents. The layout prioritises natural light and functional separation, with the principal living areas and two guest suites occupying the entrance level, while the upper floor is dedicated to the principal suite and an exceptional outdoor living environment. The open-plan kitchen, fitted with Gaggenau appliances, connects seamlessly with the dining and living areas, extending towards a terrace with views across the Mediterranean and surrounding mountains.

The defining architectural feature is the three generous terraces, which create an outdoor footprint that rivals the interior living space. Designed around distinct functions, they provide dedicated settings for dining, entertaining, exercise and relaxation. The principal entertaining terrace incorporates an outdoor kitchen and generous dining area, while the second terrace introduces a private wellness concept with a sauna, bathtub, outdoor shower and cold-water plunge. This thoughtful distribution transforms outdoor space from a complementary feature into an integral part of the property’s residential experience.

Christie’s Insight:
From an investment and lifestyle perspective, what distinguishes this property is the combination of an established frontline beach address, a comprehensive renovation and an unusually extensive outdoor footprint. Three en-suite bedrooms provide comfortable accommodation for both permanent residents and visiting guests, while the duplex configuration ensures a natural separation between private and social spaces. The private wellness facilities further differentiate the property within its immediate competitive set. In a coastal market where genuinely beachfront communities with mature gardens, direct beach access and extensive amenities are increasingly difficult to replicate, Alcazaba Beach offers an established residential proposition. This penthouse brings together those location fundamentals with a contemporary interior and an outdoor lifestyle concept that is rarely available to this extent.
