Estepona will be the new home of a one-of-a-kind music event: the ‘Starlite Music’. This music festival is a major event that attracts prominent artists and music lovers from all over the world. To this day, the peculiarity of this event lies in its location, in the heart of a natural quarry in Marbella converted into an open-air auditorium, and in the incredible variety of musical genres it presents. But with the new project, Estepona is also preparing to welcome the best artists of the moment.
Discovering the ‘Starlite Music’ Project
Inaugurated in 2012, ‘Starlite Music’ has grown to become one of the most important music festivals in Spain. This event offers a wide range of musical styles, including pop, rock, flamenco, classical music and jazz. Visitors can enjoy live concerts, cultural activities, gastronomy, fashion and art.

In addition, ‘Starlite Music’ has generated employment and boosted the local economy, benefiting local businesses, restaurants and hotels.
Estepona and ‘Starlite Music’: a perfect combination
Estepona, with its warm climate, natural beauty and vibrant cultural scene, is the perfect place for Starlite Music to take another step forward. And that is precisely the approach of its organizers.
Starlite Music World’ in Estepona, a strategic commitment
Starlite’s ambition to expand its presence in Estepona has taken an important step forward. The regional government has officially recognized the ‘Starlite Music World’ project as a business investment of strategic interest for Andalusia.
The attractive project, which will be built in the area of La Panera, very close to the Selwo, will include the construction of ‘La Ciudad de la Música’ and ‘La Ciudad Audiovisual’, two spaces that promise to transform the cultural and entertainment landscape of Estepona.
A 286 million euro project
The Starlite Music World is a conglomerate of cultural, hotel, gastronomic and educational initiatives. With an expected investment of 286 million euros, the project is expected to generate around 450 new jobs.
The ‘City of Music’ will occupy eleven hectares and will include a boulevard with a lake, a central plaza, restaurants and an artists’ area, along with an auditorium with a capacity for 15,000 spectators. In addition, the project contemplates the creation of a 200-room hotel and a conference center.
The Audiovisual City will extend over almost six hectares, incorporating recording studios and sets of between 1,500 and 3,000 square meters, equipment warehouses and internal service areas.
When will the Starlite Music World be operational?
Neither the developer nor the City Council have yet given an estimated date for the start of the project, which still has to pass the urban and environmental processing of both the local administration and the Junta de Andalucía. What do you think of this new Estepona bet?
