A key-ready four-bedroom apartment of 173 m² in Cancelada, a residential district on Estepona's New Golden Mile, offered at a fixed asking price of €795,000. The property comprises four bedrooms and two bathrooms, including an en-suite master bedroom with a dressing area, and a south-east facing private terrace. The complex includes a communal swimming pool, children's pool, landscaped gardens, a gym and a coworking area. Playa del Saladillo lies approximately 800 metres away as the crow flies, and three golf courses sit within two kilometres of the front door.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
Cancelada sits between Estepona and Marbella on the New Golden Mile, roughly 30 metres above sea level with a moderate 3.2% gradient towards the coast. Playa del Saladillo is 0.8 km away in a straight line, about a ten-minute walk. Flamingos Golf lies 1.4 km away and El Paraiso 1.7 km, placing beaches, golf and daily amenities within a compact radius.
The apartment offers four bedrooms and two bathrooms across 173 m², suitable for a family or for use as a spacious second residence. The master bedroom is en-suite with a dressing area. A south-east orientation provides morning to midday sun on the terrace, while air conditioning and central heating cover both seasons. Fitted wardrobes, a storage room and a lift add practical daily value.
The building is completed, with delivery indicated as 2025; this date is indicative. The property is key-ready, sold fully furnished, so no construction phase or waiting period applies. As an existing home rather than an off-plan purchase, what is viewed is what is acquired, without the delivery risk associated with unbuilt phases.
The property has two bathrooms for four bedrooms, so two bedrooms share facilities. Parking is not listed among the features. It is an apartment within a communal complex, so there is no private garden or private pool; outdoor space is limited to the terrace. The gradient to the beach is moderate rather than flat, which affects walks back from the coast.

This property fits several recognisable situations. A family relocating to the Costa del Sol year-round benefits from four bedrooms, nearby international schooling (The International School of Estepona at 1.6 km, Creators International School at 6.9 km) and two health centres in the area. Buyers seeking a spacious second home get a key-ready, fully furnished apartment where no renovation or furnishing project is required before first use. Households that include remote workers can use the coworking area, and tennis and padel players are within 0.7 to 1.5 km of three clubs. Golfers have three courses within 1.7 km. The profile suits owners who want beach proximity (0.8 km to Playa del Saladillo) without living in a high-rise tourist strip. It fits less well for buyers wanting a private pool and garden, the complex offers communal facilities only, or for those needing more than two bathrooms for a four-bedroom household. A car remains practical for reaching Marbella, Estepona or the airports, though daily errands are walkable. Buyers comparing investment economics should note the fixed asking price and evaluate rental demand themselves against the area's 3,466 annual housing transactions.
The property is described as being in excellent condition and delivered fully furnished, which removes the furnishing stage from the purchase. The open-plan kitchen is fully equipped, and the listing includes fitted wardrobes throughout and a private terrace accessed directly from the living area. Climate control covers both seasons: air conditioning for the warm months from June to September, when average temperatures reach around 26°C, and central heating for winter months that average 12°C, relevant for year-round residence rather than summer-only use. The master bedroom has a private bathroom and a dressing area, a layout detail that separates the principal suite from the secondary rooms. A lift serves the building, and a storage room is included, a practical feature that apartment living on this coast often lacks. Views are recorded as panoramic, over gardens and the pool area. The images show a modern interior with a living room opening to a balcony, a rooftop terrace with outdoor seating, and bedrooms with mountain views, consistent with the south-east orientation. As with any completed purchase, the actual finishing level is what is inspected on site; there is no developer specification or new-build guarantee structure, and the transaction follows the standard resale process with immediate availability. Construction is recorded as completed in 2025, though this date is indicative.
The asking price is fixed at €795,000 for the complete property, an existing, key-ready home sold fully furnished, not a from-price for a range of units. At 173 m² of living area, this equates to roughly €4,600 per square metre, with the en-suite master bedroom, terrace, storage room and access to communal facilities included. As a completed resale-ready property, the price covers the current finishing level; there is no construction-phase payment schedule. Availability is immediate upon completion of the standard purchase process. Comparable new-build projects elsewhere on the coast start lower but represent a different product type and purchase structure.
Daily life in this Cancelada apartment centres on indoor-outdoor living. The living and dining area opens directly onto a large south-east facing terrace, which receives sun from the morning into the early afternoon, practical for breakfast outside and for keeping the main rooms bright without heavy afternoon heat. The open-plan kitchen is fully equipped and integrated into the living space, keeping the 173 m² usable rather than fragmented. Four bedrooms and two bathrooms suit a household that needs separate rooms, a family, or owners who regularly host guests. The master bedroom's en-suite bathroom and dressing area give the principal occupants independence from the shared bathroom. Within the complex, the communal pool, children's pool, gardens, gym and coworking area extend the living space beyond the apartment itself; the coworking area matters for owners who work remotely during part of the year. The immediate neighbourhood is a residential urbanisation rather than a resort zone: 24 restaurants, four pharmacies, two banks and two cafés sit within two kilometres, meaning groceries and daily errands do not require a car. The area's character holds year-round, this is not a seasonal urbanisation that empties in winter, but an established community between Estepona and Marbella with international schools within two to seven kilometres. A car remains useful for regional trips: Puerto Banús and its marina are under nine kilometres away, Estepona and Marbella approximately fifteen, and both Gibraltar and Málaga airports are reachable for international travel.
The surroundings combine residential calm with unusually dense amenity coverage. Within two kilometres there are 24 restaurants, four pharmacies, two banks, two cafés, one park, a dentist and two health centres, a level of provision that makes daily life largely walkable. Education is well covered, with 19 primary schools and 10 secondary schools in the wider area and two international schools within seven kilometres. Sport is a defining feature of the immediate neighbourhood: Racket Club Villa Paderna at 0.7 km, Club de Tenis at 0.8 km and RozaRossa Tennis and Padel Club at 1.5 km cluster within walking and short driving distance. Golfers can reach Flamingos Golf (1.4 km), Tramores Golf (1.6 km) and El Paraiso Golf Clubhouse (1.7 km) in minutes. The nearest beach, Playa del Saladillo, is 0.8 km away as the crow flies, with Playa del Sol Villacana at 1.0 km and Playa de Guadalmansa at 1.5 km offering alternatives along the same stretch. Public transport consists of four lines with 21 stops in the area, sufficient for local connections though most residents will use a car. The area hosts 25 hotels and around 6,900 tourist beds, indicating a tourism economy, but Cancelada itself remains primarily residential rather than resort-driven.
The map shows the property's position in Cancelada between Estepona and Marbella: the coast 0.8 km south, three golf courses immediately west and north, and Puerto Banús under nine kilometres to the north-east. All distances shown are straight-line measurements.

Cancelada occupies a middle position on the New Golden Mile, the coastal corridor between Estepona town and Marbella that has developed as a residential alternative to both. Marbella lies 16 km to the north-east (147,958 inhabitants) and Estepona a similar distance to the south-west, giving residents two full urban centres within a fifteen-kilometre radius while living in neither. Málaga city (63 km) and its airport anchor the regional transport network; Gibraltar airport offers a second international option at 44 km. Within the region's hierarchy, Cancelada is a low-rise, amenity-rich district rather than a resort hub, a distinction reflected in its year-round population and school provision.
Distances from the property, measured in straight line as the crow flies: Playa del Saladillo 0.8 km (roughly a ten-minute walk given the moderate 3.2% gradient), two further beaches within 1.5 km, three golf courses between 1.4 and 1.7 km, and Puerto Deportivo José Banús at 8.8 km. By car, Puerto Banús is under ten kilometres away, with Marbella (16 km straight-line) and Estepona town reachable in approximately fifteen kilometres of driving. Regional connections run along the A-7 and AP-7 coastal corridor. Airports: Gibraltar (GIB) approximately 44 km away and Málaga-Costa del Sol (AGP) approximately 54 km as the crow flies, actual driving distances are longer, typically around 45 minutes to an hour depending on traffic. An EV charging point, the Supercharger at Estepona, is 1.5 km away. Public transport covers four lines with 21 stops, practical for local trips; a car is recommended for regional travel and airport transfers.

The climate data supports year-round residence. Average monthly temperatures range from 12°C in the coolest months to 26°C in summer, with an annual average of 19.3°C, mild winters that make the central heating a genuine feature rather than a formality. The swimming season runs about six months, during which sea temperatures stay at or above 20°C, roughly May through October. The site sits at 30 metres above sea level with a moderate 3.2% gradient to the coast: high enough for the panoramic and mountain views recorded in the listing, low enough that the beach walk remains manageable. The south-east orientation of the terrace shapes daily life, morning and midday sun, shade in the late afternoon, which many residents prefer for terrace dining and for keeping interior temperatures reasonable in July and August. Annual sunshine hours along this stretch of the Costa del Sol are among the highest in Spain, supporting the outdoor routine the area is known for.

Beach access is one of the location's practical strengths. Playa del Saladillo, the nearest beach at 0.8 km as the crow flies, is a long sandy stretch on the New Golden Mile backed by beachside restaurants; the ten-minute walk from the property involves a moderate uphill return. Playa del Sol Villacana (1.0 km) and Playa de Guadalmansa (1.5 km) provide alternatives within the same radius. Recreation beyond the beach is dense: three golf courses (Flamingos, Tramores and El Paraiso) within 1.7 km, three racket clubs within 1.5 km, and a public swimming pool at Parque Antena 1.8 km away. For coastal excursions, Puerto Deportivo José Banús at 8.8 km offers marina facilities, dining and shopping. The combination means a household can rotate between beach days, golf mornings and padel evenings without long drives, a distinguishing density of leisure options even by Costa del Sol standards.

Within the Costa del Sol market, this property occupies the established mid-to-upper segment of the New Golden Mile. Comparing with new-build projects in the region clarifies the difference: Aquamar in Torre del Mar starts from €269,950, Lantana Residencial in Mijas from €205,000 and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona from €321,000. Those are from-prices for new construction, typically for smaller units, off-plan purchase structures and phased delivery, a fundamentally different product from a completed, fully furnished 173 m² four-bedroom apartment at a fixed €795,000. On a price-per-square-metre basis this property sits near €4,600/m², in line with the New Golden Mile's positioning between Estepona town (generally lower) and central Marbella and Puerto Banús (generally higher). The location's regional strengths are density and balance: three golf courses, three racket clubs and three beaches within a two-kilometre radius, plus 24 restaurants and two health centres, is a concentration that more isolated coastal urbanisations do not match. Against Marbella 16 km away, Cancelada trades urban glamour for a quieter, low-rise residential character with the same coastal access. Against Torre del Mar and much of Mijas on the eastern Costa del Sol, it trades lower entry prices for proximity to the Marbella, Estepona corridor and its amenity base. Market activity in the area is substantial, 3,466 housing transactions per year, indicating liquidity and consistent demand on both the resale and rental sides. Buyers weighing this property against off-plan alternatives should weigh the fixed, known price and immediate availability against the typically lower but riskier entry points of new construction, and consider that two bathrooms for four bedrooms plus communal-only pool facilities define the limits of this particular product.
