Andalucia, Malaga, Casares, Spain

Set on the top floor of Casares del Sol, this three-bedroom, two-bathroom penthouse is built around the outdoors. The private solarium is its defining feature: an open rooftop with uninterrupted 360-degree views across the Mediterranean, the Casares hills and, on clear days, the coastline towards Gibraltar and Africa.

With no neighbours above and a full aspect to the sun, it receives light from morning coffee through to the last of the evening.


Inside, the living and dining area opens directly onto the main terrace, so the line between inside and out is easy to lose for much of the year.

The kitchen is fitted and practical, with a utility room and it´s own terrace, the principal bedroom has its own en-suite bathroom, and the two further bedrooms share a second full bathroom, each bedroom has lovely views to the pool and gardens. All of this makes the layout equally suited to a permanent home, family holidays or a rental investment.
To add to your convenience, the property has air-conditioning, underground parking and a storage room.

This is a home for people who want to live outside. Breakfast on the terrace, long lunches in the shade, sunbathing on the solarium in the afternoon and dinner as the sun drops behind the hills. Few properties at this level offer that range of outdoor space, and fewer still with views in every direction.

Casares del Sol sits in the hills above Casares Costa, one of the quieter stretches of the western Costa del Sol and, increasingly, one of the most talked about.

The coast here has long been overshadowed by Estepona to the east and Sotogrande to the west, but that is changing. Finca Cortesín, with its five-star hotel, beach club and championship golf course, host of the 2023 Solheim Cup, has given the area an international profile, and the surrounding land is now seeing new residential projects, branded developments and sustained buyer interest. For those who buy now, Casares Costa offers something that is becoming harder to find elsewhere on the coast: space, views and value, with the momentum of an area on the rise. Beaches, golf at Doña Julia and Finca Cortesín, and the restaurants of Casares Costa are all within a short drive, with Estepona, Sotogrande and the marina at La Duquesa close by, and Málaga airport around an hour away.
