Atalaya
Atalaya sits toward the eastern edge of Estepona's municipality, split by the A-7 coast road into a beachside section and a hillside section above it. It's one of the area's longer-established urbanisations, built up gradually since the 1970s and 80s from its original single-storey houses into a mix of apartments, townhouses and villas of varying ages and styles.
Its main draw is location: San Pedro Alcántara and Puerto Banús are both a short drive away, it has its own golf club with two courses, and everyday amenities — shops, schools, bus links to both Marbella and Estepona — are all close by.
Property in Atalaya

Is Atalaya split by the coast road?
Yes — the A-7 divides it into a beachside section and a hillside section above, so it's worth checking which side a specific property sits on when you're looking at listings.
Is Atalaya a good area for families?
It's generally seen as a practical, family-friendly area, with its own schools nearby and bus links to both Marbella and Estepona, rather than being one of the more exclusive showcase addresses on the coast.
