Casares: history, nature and elite golf
Casares is one of the most remarkable municipalities on the entire Costa del Sol: a spectacular white village perched on a rocky outcrop, crowned by a Moorish castle with views stretching as far as North Africa. Casares is also the birthplace of Blas Infante, the great thinker and politician declared Father of the Andalusian Nation, whose ideas shaped the region's Statute of Autonomy.
The municipality encompasses the historic village inland and the coastal area known as Casares Costa, home to the celebrated Hotel & Golf Finca Cortesín — widely regarded as one of the finest golf resorts in the world and host venue of the Volvo World Match Play Championship. This duality of rural authenticity and modern luxury is what makes Casares genuinely unique.
Casares Costa occupies the coastal strip north of Estepona, with long, tranquil beaches and exclusive residential developments that offer privacy and quality of life for those seeking distance from the bustle of larger tourist hubs without sacrificing comfort.
From historic village to world-class golf resort
Casares combines the best of two worlds: the authenticity of a millennia-old Andalusian village and the luxury of one of the finest golf destinations on the planet.
The Casares Costa shoreline is experiencing significant luxury residential development, driven by the reputation of Finca Cortesín and sustained demand for tranquil, exclusive properties in a privileged natural setting. Developments such as Alcazaba Hills, Casares Beach and the villas surrounding Finca Cortesín offer outstanding quality at prices that remain competitive when compared with Marbella.
Casares is well connected: the A-7 motorway is just minutes away, putting Estepona 20 minutes distant, Sotogrande 15 and Marbella 40. Gibraltar and its international airport — with direct flights to London — are under 30 minutes away, a decisive factor for many international buyers.
For food lovers, the village of Casares has several restaurants serving exceptionally high-quality market-fresh Andalusian cuisine. The kid and pork from local farms, slow-roasted in wood-fired ovens, is a gastronomic experience that draws visitors from across the Costa del Sol.
