If you’re familiar with the coastline between Estepona and Sotogrande, you’ll know it’s already a place of sun-lit beaches, green golf courses and peaceful villages.
But now, the upscale horizon of Casares Costa is set to change, in the very best way. The luxury brand Conrad Hotels & Resorts, operated by Hilton, has announced a landmark 5-star resort for this area, signalling a new chapter for both tourism and property on the western Costa del Sol.
What the Project Brings
The hotel, to be known as Conrad Costa del Sol, will occupy the site of the former Doña Julia hotel in Casares. Expect approximately 194 rooms (including around 12 luxury suites), extensive wellness facilities, indoor and outdoor pools, fine-dining restaurants, bars and underground parking.
The investment is significant, around €70 million, and it underscores the confidence international luxury brands have in our area.
Why This Matters for the Local Property Market
As someone who has lived and worked on this coast for 23 years, I recognise the significance of developments like this. Here’s why it’s noteworthy:
Elevating the profile of Casares Costa. A branded luxury resort of this calibre naturally draws attention, higher-end visitors, longer stays and more demand for top-quality homes nearby.
Boost to the local economy and infrastructure. Hotels bring jobs, services and refocused investment. Local suppliers, hospitality staff and tourism-linked businesses all benefit.
Increased appeal for buyers. For people looking to buy in the region, whether for holiday, investment or full-time living, a luxury branded resort adds an extra layer of confidence and lifestyle promise.
Upsides for adjacent properties. Homes in the vicinity of high-end resorts often see improved desirability and, potentially, stronger resale value, especially if they deliver quality, views and access to amenities.
Why This Fits With the Kiwii Vision
At Kiwii Real Estate, we believe in living life in full colour, and this development aligns perfectly with that ethos. It represents not just bricks and mortar, but lifestyle, ambition and community. It’s about helping our clients make informed decisions in a region we know intimately, from Estepona’s lively streets to the calm sands of Casares Costa and beyond to the luxury of Sotogrande.

Because in the end, your journey in property is our journey too.
