The Costa del Sol region


Puerto Paraiso is ideally situated overlooking the marina in the heart of Estepona's thriving fishing port & marina. Cristo Beach (5 minutes west of the apartment) is a delightful oyster-shaped cove of sheltered, gently shelving sand, ideal for children and La Rada Beach (5 minutes East of the apartment) runs for 2km past the old town and is a lovely walk along the promenade (Paseo Maritimo). For many years both beaches have been awarded EC Blue Flag status for cleanliness and safety and in high season are manned daily with lifeguards. They also have well maintained toilet and shower facilities and a choice of chiringuitos (beach front restaurants) with a true Spanish feel. Ideal for spending a full day on the beach!
Within a few minutes walk you will find several supermarkets and shops and the local tapas bars and restaurants are situated in Estepona Marina an easy 2 minutes walk away.
Estepona, due to its natural environment, surrounded by the sea and Sierra Bermeja mountains, enjoys a microclimate with over 325 days of sunshine per year and also lovely mild winters. A perfect escape for some winter sun.
The Estepona / Estepona Puerto/Marina area
Estepona has many facets which makes it a popular holiday destination for those looking for a relaxing break to unwind, eat well, have a cool drink and chill out people watching. It has 2 EC Blue Flag beaches, a popular marina area with many tapas bars and restaurants and a lovely white walled town with a pedestrianised shopping area. All within a 10 minute walk.
Some areas of interest that you may wish to visit are:
Gibraltar - Only 35 minutes drive from Estepona (amd on the local bus route), Gibraltar is a sunny, VAT-free haven where you can find duty free bargains from electronic equipment & jewellery to leather & perfumes & haggling is encouraged! Make sure you don't miss the spectacular natural caverns of St. Michael's Caves or visit the Ape's Den, home to some of Gibraltar's famous Barbary Apes, the only free-to-roam primates in Europe. Watch out for monkey business as they can be mischievous and have been known to pick the occasional pocket looking for treats.
Puerto Banus - Puerto Banus is about 25 minutes drive away. It has a large number of designer stores including Versace and Armani. Perfect for millionaire spotting and you may also see a famous face in the port as a number of Hollywood stars have summer homes there.
Laguna Village - A stunning high class shopping experience just 10 minutes drive away. Whether spending an extravagant day at the beach club, shopping in the designer stores or spending time in the luxurious bars and restaurants then Laguna Village (www.laguna-village.com) is the ideal place.
Selwo Safari Park - Only 20 minutes drive away and on the public transport route, Selwo is ideal for the perfect family day out. The park is based on an African safari park and houses 2000 animals from giraffes to panthers in semi-wild conditions. Like Jurassic Park, large open sided lorries drive you through the various animal enclosures and up into the hills above Estepona. There are elephants, bears, hippos and so much more to see. In the summer, cover up as it can get very hot and there is not much shelter.
Golf - There are over 20 courses within a 45 minute drive. The local Estepona Golf Club (www.esteponagolf.com) is reasonably priced between 20 - 60 euro's for a round and the Sunday Express regarded their greens as some of the best on the Costa Del Sol. Also Monte Mayor Golf and Country Club (www.montemayorgolf.laperlainternationalliving.com) with its exciting fairway winding through dramatic gullies, ravines and streams, offers a superb challenge to even the most experienced golfers.
Also trips to beautiful Ronda, Tarifa and Casares are recommended if you have time. Or why not try Tangiers, North Africa which is only a 30-45 minute ferry crossing away.

We use this apartment every year for our holidays and wouldn't dream of going anywhere else. The apartment is modern, bright and furnished to a very high standard and has everything you need to enjoy your holiday. The view from the balcony looks out over the marina and is great for watching the world go by.The other thing we like is that the owners are flexible with start and finish dates which suits us.We now look upon this apartment as our home from home and look forward to spending many more holidays here.There are many varied restaurants in the marina, our favourite is La Taberna Del Peurto which is a traditional Spanish tapas bar serving great food. The town of Estepona is a short stroll away which is enjoyable early evening, stopping of at the numerous beach bars on the way for a beer or coffee. Response: Hi Paul, Many thanks for your kind comments. It is always great to hear feedback from our guests as we put a lot of effort in to ensuring that our guests stay is an enjoyable one. Having guests return year on year is the best compliment that we can receive and we look forward to seeing you and Gill again in the New Year. |
Guestbook for Puerto Paraiso 1
Over the last 10 years we have received many reviews from happy guests and can provide full details, however here is a small selection of comments from our visitors book:
The Slack family: "We have been visiting Estepona for 20 plus years and although it has changed , it essentially, remains a 'Spanish' resort. Puerto Paraiso Apartments are ideally situated - close to the Port and all the excellent Bars and Restaurants. The town - old and new - is only a 15 minute walk away, with many more restaurants of all types of cuisine. This apartment has recently had a complete revamp and must be considered to be 'the best'. Attention to detail is the order of the day and everybody can rest assured of a great stay in 'our haven'. "
The Hill family: "Everything about this apartment was excellent. It had recently undergone a high class refurbishment. It was like being in a 5 star hotel, with more space. The views from the apartment were magnificent. People watching from the balcony was an interesting way to pass the time. Nearby are several excellent restaurants and watering holes. For anyone wishing to venture further into the town there are more restaurants. The town is very Spanish and it is a superb place to sit and watch the world go by.It is possible to go on "outings" from Estepona which cater for the British tourist. Also good local bus services to neighbouring towns. A taxi from one end of town to the other is about 5 euros. We found that dealing with the owner was a relaxed experience. We were able to negotiate arrival dates and times and were received in Estepona by a delightfully friendly lady who showed us around the apartment, prior to leaving us alone. She was, however, available by phone in the event of us needing her. The best recommendation is, would we go again? Most certainly. Would we recommend it to family and friends? Very definitely."
The Notley family: "This was our third stay at the apartment in the past year and now the refurbishments are complete its even better. If you are looking for a resort that has bars with loud music,kareoke,discos, fish n chips and all day english breakfasts..forget it you wont find it here..thank goodness.If however you are looking for a quite family resort with some good restaurants to suit all tastes,nice beaches and convienent access to good golf courses then you wont find better but don't tell everyone its one of Spains well kept secrets.We have been coming to Estepona for 15 years now and never dream of going anywhere else, its not given way to commercialism like other resorts.Cannot wait to return in September."
The Andrews family: "Great place and location. Excellent watersports at Algeceras. Keep your bags zipped up on the rock at Gibraltar - the monkeys are not frightened of anything! Good day trip to Mijas & Puerto Banus. Lots to do in a week - but mostly enjoyed the pool and the view. Many thanks."
The Elvin's: "Lovely apartment, very comfortable - and what a view! We've had a great time here. Great place to use as a base to explore the area."
The Coley's: "Lovely stay, apartment really has everything you could want. Recommend a trip to Ronda."
The Wihl's: "We loved the location of the apartment - plenty to see. Visited old Estepona, Jerez, Granada, Cadiz, Gibraltar & Tangier. Would like to return next year."
