For the past twenty years, Jasmine has been an enchanting presence on Channel 4, engaging in the delicate dance between dwellings and those who dream of them. She has acted as a fairy god-presenter of sorts, weaving her magic from Portugal to Malta to Cyprus, helping many find their dream homes. Now, however, she's decided to script her own tale of home discovery in the sun-drenched locale of Estepona.
She revealed to Hello! Magazine, with a smile suggestive of a delightful secret being shared, that this decision was years in the making. Every year subtly pushed her and her family towards wanting more moments filled with laughter and quality time with one another. It was with a measure of bravery and a taste for adventure that they finally made the decision to move — a decision that, while overwhelming, was absolutely beautiful.
Jasmine found assistance in her home-finding adventure from One Marbella, a real estate agency local to the area. With their help, she has embarked on her next grand adventure and located her future home.
When she shared her story on Facebook, she reflected with candid grace on life's roller-coaster nature, noting that often the most intimidating climbs yield the most breathtaking views. The journey to Estepona, with all its stress and intensity, now seems to her like the beginning of a beautiful song dedicated to making the most of every moment bathed in sunlight.
Estepona is not just another location on Jasmine's map; it holds special significance for her. In a 2021 episode, she featured five Estepona properties while helping a mother and daughter duo enchanted by the area. While other presenters have explored the town's picturesque lanes, Jasmine is the only one to have taken the step of becoming a resident.
With more than 200 episodes of home-hunting adventures under her belt and contributions to Company, Living Abroad, and My Travel magazines, Jasmine is more than a home expert — she's a storyteller weaving tales of travel and realized dreams. Estepona, with its inviting community warmth and distinctly Spanish familial vibes, called to her, and she answered the call.
She sees in Estepona a kind of music, present in the laughter of her neighbors and the camaraderie experienced under the Spanish sky. Jasmine and her family are not merely planning a housewarming; they are establishing connections, sparking friendships, and celebrating the chorus of greetings under Estepona’s sun, with her eyes twinkling with reflected sunlight.
