Apartment MAKAI, Estepona Overview
Apartment MAKAI is located in Estepona, Spain. Rated 7.9 out of 10 based on 9 guest reviews.
Apartment MAKAI is a family-friendly apartment stay in Estepona, Spain, suited to travelers who want space, flexibility, and an easy pace near the coast. Located at 21 Avenida del Carmen in the Puerto Paraíso area, it’s a practical base for beach days and day trips, with offsite parking available and free parking on-site. The accommodation is non-smoking and includes air conditioning, which matters in the warmer months, plus a terrace for downtime between outings. Guests also mention the value of having a safety deposit box for peace of mind during their stay.
With a guest rating of 7.9/10 from nine reviews, the feedback points to a comfortable, straightforward experience rather than a luxury hotel feel. Road-trip friendly visitors often appreciate the free parking and car hire support, while families like the apartment setup and the fact that children are welcome.

From here, it’s easy to plan a coastal itinerary around La Rada Beach (about 1 km) and El Cristo Beach (about 1 km), then add a cultural stop at the Estepona Orchid House (around 2 km). If you’re looking for more atmosphere, Estepona’s old town is roughly 4 km away, with its traditional streets and local life. Apartment MAKAI is best for families, couples, and drivers who want a comfortable apartment base with practical amenities and quick access to the seaside.
