This Acqua Gardens residence presents a duplex penthouse configuration within Cancelada, situated on the western edge of the New Golden Mile. The property is characterised by a substantial private terrace of 93.60 m², complementing an interior living area of 95.70 m². Located in an established urban environment, the development offers proximity to the coastal strip while maintaining access to local municipal services and the broader infrastructure of the Costa del Sol.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The project is positioned in Cancelada, a residential and commercial hub between Estepona and Marbella. The location offers a practical balance, with essential amenities such as supermarkets and pharmacies within a 150-metre radius. The terrain is predominantly flat, facilitating pedestrian mobility within the immediate vicinity.
The layout comprises three bedrooms and two bathrooms across 133 m² of built space. The property includes a private parking space and a storage room. The south-facing orientation and extensive terrace area address the demand for outdoor living space, suitable for households requiring distinct sleeping and leisure zones.
The building phase is classified as completed, with handover indicated for 2025. The development features contemporary architectural elements designed for the Mediterranean climate. Acqua Gardens operates as a gated community, implying established security protocols and finished common areas.
The property is not located directly on the beachfront, requiring a short journey to reach the shoreline. The setting is urban, not rural, meaning it lacks isolation or expansive private grounds. The communal nature of the facilities means shared access to pools and gymnasiums.
This property suits households seeking a permanent residence with high connectivity. The proximity to international schools, such as The International School of Estepona, makes it viable for families. It also accommodates remote workers requiring a dedicated space, facilitated by the co-working facilities mentioned in the development description. The configuration is less suited for those seeking a secluded rural retreat or a budget-friendly holiday apartment, given the premium price point and urban setting.
The development is described as having 'Excellent' condition and high-quality finishes. The interiors feature tiled floors and fully fitted bathrooms, as indicated by the visual data. The architectural style is contemporary Mediterranean, utilising materials that withstand the coastal climate. The inclusion of a fireplace suggests attention to comfort during the winter months. The communal areas, such as the gym and gardens, are finished to a standard consistent with modern gated communities in the region.
The listing price is set at €895,000. With a total built area of 133 m², the price per square metre is approximately €6,730, which aligns with the upper segment for the area, reflecting the penthouse status and the large terrace dimension. Availability is subject to immediate transfer, given the 'Ready' status. Variation in pricing may apply to specific units within the development based on floor level and view orientation.
Cancelada functions as a service town for the surrounding coastal developments. Daily life here involves access to local butcher shops, bakeries, and cafes that operate year-round, contrasting with seasonal resort towns. The flat terrain encourages walking or cycling for errands. The location provides a sense of permanence; the streets remain active outside the summer months due to the local population. The proximity to the A-7 motorway allows for efficient transit, though the immediate surroundings are characterised by commercial activity rather than secluded tranquillity.
The immediate environment is characterised by a high density of amenities. Within a 2 km radius, residents have access to 16 restaurants and multiple health centres. The location facilitates a car-free lifestyle for daily needs, though a vehicle is recommended for exploring the wider region. The urbanisation is gated, providing a buffer from the immediate commercial streets of Cancelada.
The map highlights the development's position just north of the N-340 coastal road. It illustrates the short walking distance to the commercial centre of Cancelada and the direct route to the nearby beaches of Guadalmansa.

Compared to Aquamar in Torre del Mar, starting at €269,950, this property commands a significantly higher price due to its location on the western Costa del Sol and the classification as a duplex penthouse. Lantana Residencial in Mijas (€205,000) offers entry-level pricing but lacks the immediate proximity to the coast seen in Cancelada. Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona (€269,000) presents a lower entry price point for new builds, but this specific project offers a larger terrace area and a more immediate connection to the established 'New Golden Mile' infrastructure. The price point here reflects a premium for space, views, and the specific Acqua Gardens brand, positioning it above the standard off-plan offerings in the region.
