Casares Golf – New Developments in the Elevated Golf-Resort District of Casares

Casares Golf is the slightly elevated golf-resort district of the municipality of Casares – set between the white mountain village of Casares Pueblo and the coastal strip of Casares Costa. Buyers searching for a new development in Casares Golf find one of the quietest golf-residential locations on the western Costa del Sol, defined by spacious schemes, sea views and a setting that brings beach and mountain nature within a few minutes' drive – at prices clearly below Marbella levels.

Location and connectivity

Casares Golf sits on the gentle slopes above the coast, about five kilometres inland from the N-340. To the east the district borders Estepona, to the west Manilva. The toll AP-7 motorway is reached in minutes; Málaga Airport lies around 60 to 65 minutes east by car, Gibraltar International Airport about 50 minutes west. Estepona town centre is 15 minutes away, Marbella 35 to 40 minutes. The scenic mountain road to the white village of Casares Pueblo winds up into the Sierra Crestellina in ten minutes.

What makes Casares Golf distinctive

The district has grown around the Doña Julia Golf Club and adjoining golf schemes. Unlike the more densely developed locations of the New Golden Mile, Casares Golf is characterised by wide green areas, individual residential complexes with generous pool zones and a noticeably higher ratio of nature to building. The elevated position gives many apartments a clear sea view – on clear days reaching across to the North African coast and Gibraltar. This makes Casares Golf one of the quietest premium locations on the western Costa del Sol.

Character and residents

Residents are predominantly international mid-to-upper class: British and Scandinavian retirees, German second-home buyers with a golf affinity and international families seeking quiet, security and well-managed residential schemes. Compared to the lively New Golden Mile, the pace here is markedly calmer. International schools along the coast – the German-Spanish Atalaya College and the British-curriculum Colegio San José Estepona – are reachable in 15 to 25 minutes by car.

Infrastructure and amenities

Day-to-day needs are covered by the shopping centres in Sabinillas to the west (Mercadona, Lidl) and Estepona to the east, each about 10 to 15 minutes by car. The district itself offers mainly resort restaurants, clubhouses and small service outlets. For medical care, the Centro de Salud Estepona, HC Marbella International Hospital and the public Hospital Costa del Sol in Marbella are within 15 to 30 minutes' drive.

New developments in Casares Golf: market dynamics

The market for new developments in Casares Golf is considerably smaller than the coastal market or Estepona, but attractive thanks to the rare combination of golf, sea views and natural surroundings. New-build apartments in Casares Golf start from around €320,000 for comfortable two-bedroom units in pool schemes, often with golf views. Three- and four-bedroom apartments with sea views and underground parking typically range from €450,000 to €750,000. Villas on the upper slopes with panoramic views over the Mediterranean and the Sierra Crestellina sit between €1.2 and €3 million.

Investment perspective

Casares Golf benefits from the attention boost the 2023 Solheim Cup at Finca Cortesín brought to the whole Casares area, and from the growing scarcity of elevated, sea-view sites along the entire Costa del Sol. Average price growth in the Casares area over the last five years has been around 25 to 35 percent. Combined with the 2022 Andalusian tax reform, this makes Casares Golf one of the most value-stable premium entry-level locations on the western Costa del Sol – particularly for buyers who want the Marbella lifestyle without Marbella pricing.

Frequently asked questions

Where exactly is Casares Golf?
Casares Golf is the elevated golf-resort district of the municipality of Casares on the western Costa del Sol. It lies about five kilometres inland from the coast, between the white mountain village of Casares Pueblo to the north and the Casares Costa beach zone to the south. Estepona town centre is reachable in 15 minutes by car, Marbella in 35 to 40 minutes, Málaga Airport in around 60 minutes. All current new developments in Casares Golf are listed on CostaDelSol.dev in eleven languages with prices, floor plans and site plans.
How does Casares Golf differ from Casares Costa?
Casares Costa is the direct beach zone of the Casares municipality with resorts such as Finca Cortesín and undeveloped coastal stretches. Casares Golf sits slightly inland and has grown around golf courses like the Doña Julia Golf Club. The elevated position gives many apartments a clear sea view; the location is noticeably quieter and shaped more by nature than tourism. New developments in Casares Golf are therefore aimed at buyers who prioritise golf, calm and views over immediate beach access.
Which golf courses and infrastructure does Casares Golf offer?
The district has grown around the Doña Julia Golf Club (18 holes) and neighbouring courses. The wider Casares area includes two further renowned 18-hole courses within 5 to 15 minutes by car – Finca Cortesín (host of the 2023 Solheim Cup) and La Duquesa Golf. Shopping centres in Sabinillas (Mercadona, Lidl) and Estepona (Diana Park) are reachable in 10 to 15 minutes. This golf density makes new developments in Casares Golf particularly attractive to buyers who play regularly or seek a resort environment.
What price range do new developments in Casares Golf cover?
New-build apartments in Casares Golf start from around €320,000 for two-bedroom units with pool, often with golf views. Three- and four-bedroom apartments with sea views and underground parking typically range from €450,000 to €750,000. Villas on the upper slopes with panoramic views sit between €1.2 and €3 million. The price range is therefore clearly below the New Golden Mile level, making Casares Golf one of the more attractive premium entry-level locations on the western Costa del Sol.
Is Casares Golf a sound investment?
Casares Golf benefits from two trends: the international visibility the 2023 Solheim Cup at neighbouring Finca Cortesín brought to the whole Casares area, and the growing scarcity of elevated, sea-view sites along the western Costa del Sol. Average price growth in the Casares area over the last five years has been around 25 to 35 percent. With the 2022 Andalusian tax reform and a growing buyer base from Central and Northern Europe, Casares Golf has become one of the most value-stable premium entry-level locations in the region.
