Tucked between the mountains and the Mediterranean, Casares offers a rare combination of natural tranquillity and luxury lifestyle. From its postcard-perfect white village to its elegant coastal resorts and golf enclaves, Casares is a destination that caters to both traditional charm and contemporary comfort. For buyers and renters seeking privacy, value, and stunning scenery, it’s one of the Costa del Sol’s most underrated yet promising areas.
Casares sits in the foothills of the Sierra Bermeja, just 14 km from the coast and positioned between Estepona and Manilva. Its location provides quick access to major destinations while maintaining a peaceful, off-the-beaten-track atmosphere.
Casares has over 2,000 years of history, with remnants of Phoenician and Roman settlements and strong Moorish influence. The town’s dramatic hilltop position made it a strategic stronghold, and its castle still overlooks the region.
Today, Casares is recognised as one of Andalucía’s most picturesque white villages (pueblos blancos). Its steep cobbled streets, whitewashed houses, and panoramic sea views preserve its historic character, even as the area grows with tasteful, modern developments along the coast.
Casares is ideal for those who want to slow down and reconnect with nature, community, and quality of life. The inland village offers an authentic Andalusian experience, while Casares Costa provides seaside modernity, golf courses, and resort amenities.
