Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The apartment sits in Cancelada, a village area on the New Golden Mile, the coastal stretch connecting Estepona and Marbella. Daily amenities such as supermarkets, cafés and restaurants are within walking distance according to the listing details. Golf courses including Los Flamingos and Marbella Club are nearby. The location combines a residential setting with access to the coastal infrastructure of both towns.
The layout offers three bedrooms and two bathrooms across 88 m², with an open-plan living and dining area, a fully fitted kitchen with white goods, and an en-suite principal bedroom. Fitted wardrobes, air conditioning (hot and cold), a lift and a covered terrace support year-round use. The property is sold fully furnished, which simplifies a move or a rental set-up for a second home.
This is an existing home rather than an off-plan purchase. Construction was completed in 2021 and the apartment is key-ready, meaning no waiting period applies. Keys are held for viewings, so access is straightforward. Buyers should treat any dates or timelines communicated during the process as indicative until confirmed in writing.
The property does not offer a private pool or a private garden; both are communal. There is no private outdoor kitchen mentioned. Living area is 88 m², which is compact for a three-bedroom layout. The database does not list plot size, community fees, IBI or basura amounts, so annual running costs need to be confirmed separately. Details on the energy performance certificate are not provided.
This apartment fits several recognisable situations. A couple or small family seeking a permanent residence on the Costa del Sol will find the three bedrooms, two bathrooms and year-round facilities, indoor heated pool, gym, air conditioning, aligned with full-time living, while the walking distance to Cancelada's shops covers daily needs. Buyers wanting a second home with minimal management will value the key-ready, fully furnished condition, the underground parking and the fact that the communal areas are maintained collectively; arriving means unpacking rather than project-managing. Investors considering rental use can note the west-facing sea views, on-site restaurant and spa facilities, and the New Golden Mile location between Estepona and Marbella, features that typically support holiday-let appeal, subject to local licensing rules that must be verified. The property is less obvious for buyers needing large interior space: at 88 m² for three bedrooms, rooms are functional rather than generous, and households wanting a private pool or private garden will not find them here. It also suits those who prefer a settled, completed development over the uncertainties of off-plan construction, since the building dates from 2021 and the surroundings are already in use rather than pending.
The apartment dates from 2021, which places it within the current generation of Costa del Sol residential construction: contemporary layouts, large glazing and standardised installation quality. The interior features listed include floor-to-ceiling sliding doors, an open-plan living and dining area, a fully fitted kitchen with premium white goods, fitted wardrobes and an en-suite principal bathroom. Climate control covers both cooling and heating through air conditioning, which in this climate is the primary system for most of the year. The images confirm a modern bathroom with a glass shower enclosure, a bright living-dining room and a bedroom with contemporary finishes. Outside, the covered terrace extends the usable living space across seasons and is oriented west for afternoon and evening use. The communal fabric includes landscaped gardens and a large outdoor pool, alongside the Oceana Clubhouse with spa, heated indoor pool, sauna, gym and restaurant. Practical storage is addressed with a private underground parking space and a separate storage room, a combination that matters both for daily use and for keeping a holiday or rental property tidy. The overall condition is recorded as excellent, consistent with a four-year-old, occupied building. Points to verify during a viewing include the actual condition of furniture and appliances, the community fee structure covering the shared facilities, and any works planned for the building.
The asking price is €495,000 and is a fixed price for this existing home, not a starting price from which cheaper variants descend. For that amount, the buyer receives a completed, fully furnished apartment with three bedrooms, two bathrooms, 88 m² of living area, a private underground parking space and a separate storage room, plus access to the communal pool, gardens and the Oceana Clubhouse. When comparing with new-build price lists in the wider region, from roughly €205,000 in Mijas to €321,000 in Estepona, the price reflects the completed status, the furnishing, the sea views and the on-site facilities. Annual community fees and local taxes are not recorded in the available data and should be requested before any offer.
Daily life in this apartment centres on the interplay between indoor and outdoor space. The west-facing orientation means the covered terrace catches the afternoon and evening sun, with sea, countryside and mountain views framed by floor-to-ceiling sliding doors. In practical terms, this suits late lunches outside, sunset dining and evening use of the terrace for much of the year, given the regional average of around 18.7 °C annually. The living area is an open-plan space of 88 m² shared by the living room, dining area and kitchen. The principal bedroom has an en-suite bathroom; the two further bedrooms share the second bathroom. Mornings start in a light-filled interior; the surrounding development is described as private and low-traffic, with landscaped communal gardens and a large outdoor pool for daily use. Beyond the apartment, the Oceana Clubhouse adds a heated indoor pool, sauna, spa area, gym and a restaurant in a social lounge, giving residents options that do not depend on the weather or the season. Cancelada village, with its supermarkets, cafés and restaurants, is described as within walking distance, which covers most daily errands without a car. For larger trips, Estepona and Marbella are both reachable along the coastal corridor. The combination, a compact, furnished, low-maintenance home with extensive shared facilities, points towards use as a permanent residence for a small household, a lock-and-leave holiday home, or a rental property where on-site amenities support occupancy.
The immediate surroundings are those of Cancelada: a village-scale setting on the New Golden Mile with supermarkets, cafés and restaurants in walking distance. The location data for the wider Málaga area records a dense amenity network within 2 km, over twenty restaurants, more than twenty pharmacies and several banks, plus 19 primary schools and 10 secondary schools, which is relevant for families considering permanent residence. Healthcare access includes two health centres in the recorded radius. Transport data lists four public transport lines and 22 stops, with train stations at 0.8 km and 1.6 km (straight-line) in the broader dataset. For leisure, the beaches of the western Málaga coastline lie at roughly 3 km straight-line, with a flat gradient of about 1.1% towards the shore, so the walk or cycle to the sea involves no significant climbing. Golf is well represented: courses including Los Flamingos and Marbella Club are cited as close by in the listing, and the dataset records further options such as Club de Golf de Guadalhorce and Club de Golf Málaga Parador. The area sits within an active housing market, around 3,163 transactions per year in the recorded statistics, which supports liquidity and the availability of services geared to property owners.

Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Cancelada occupies a position on the New Golden Mile, the coastal corridor between Estepona and Marbella that has developed into one of the most established residential zones of the western Costa del Sol. Estepona's town centre and marina lie to the west; Puerto Banús and Marbella to the east. The location combines village-scale daily amenities with access to the golf, beach and marina infrastructure of both towns. Within the region, the area is characterised by medium-density residential developments, golf resorts and hotel supply, the dataset records 24 hotels with nearly 6,900 beds in the wider area, reflecting a year-round service economy rather than a purely seasonal one.
Malaga-Costa del Sol Airport lies approximately 4 km straight-line from the location, making flight connections one of the strongest practical advantages; actual driving time will be longer than the direct distance suggests. Gibraltar Airport is around 100 km straight-line to the south. The nearest beach, Playa de la Misericordia, is 3.0 km as the crow flies, with Playa Sacaba and Playa de San Andrés at 3.4 km and 3.5 km respectively, all reachable by car in a few minutes and by bicycle on flat terrain given the roughly 1.1% gradient. Marinas at IGY Málaga (5.2 km) and Marina Real Club Mediterráneo (5.3 km) cover nautical services. Public transport is available through four lines and 22 stops, and rail connections are recorded at 0.8 km and 1.6 km straight-line. Within 2 km, the dataset lists 23 restaurants, 27 pharmacies, 7 banks and 4 cafés, meaning pharmacy runs and dining out rarely require long journeys. A car remains useful for beach trips, golf and the larger retail centres of Estepona and Marbella.

The climate data shows average monthly temperatures ranging from 12 °C in the coolest months to 27 °C in summer, with an annual average of 18.7 °C, a typical Mediterranean profile with mild winters and warm, dry summers. For swimmers, the season with sea temperatures at or above 20 °C lasts about four months, roughly June through September, although the heated indoor pool at the Clubhouse extends swimming beyond that window. The elevation is 37 metres above sea level with a gradient of about 1.1% towards the coast, so the terrain is effectively flat: walking and cycling to the beach involve no meaningful climbing, and the west-facing terrace enjoys unobstructed light towards the sea. Viewpoints such as Mirador Torre del Atabal (3.2 km straight-line) and Observatorio de Aves Marinas (4.5 km) indicate nearby spots for walks and birdwatching. The mountain views from the terrace reflect the proximity of the coastal sierras, which shelter the area and contribute to its high sunshine hours.

The nearest recorded beaches are Playa de la Misericordia at 3.0 km straight-line, Playa Sacaba at 3.4 km and Playa de San Andrés at 3.5 km, all within a short drive on flat terrain. Swimming conditions are comfortable for around four months a year at sea temperatures of 20 °C or more, with beach weather extending well beyond that. Golf is the second recreational pillar: the listing names Los Flamingos and Marbella Club as nearby courses, and the dataset adds Club de Golf de Guadalhorce (5.2 km), Club de Golf Málaga Parador (5.4 km) and Campo de Golf Miguel Ángel Jiménez (7.8 km), giving residents several options within a quarter-hour drive. Sports facilities closer to home include football pitches and a petanque court within about 1 km. For water-based recreation, two marinas sit at roughly 5 km. The on-site facilities, outdoor pool, heated indoor pool, sauna, spa and gym, reduce dependence on external options, which matters in the cooler months when beach use declines.

Within the wider Málaga province market, this apartment occupies the mid-to-upper segment. The comparable new-build projects listed start at €269,950 in Torre del Mar (Aquamar), €205,000 in Mijas (Lantana Residencial) and €321,000 in Estepona (Etherna Homes 2). Those are entry prices for new construction, typically for smaller units without views, furnishing or completed status, whereas this property carries a fixed price of €495,000 for a finished, fully furnished three-bedroom home with sea views, parking and storage. What distinguishes the New Golden Mile from the eastern locations such as Torre del Mar is the maturity of the western corridor: established golf resorts, hotel infrastructure and a residential profile oriented towards international buyers. Compared with inland or northern Costa del Sol alternatives, the location trades a lower entry price for proximity to Marbella, Puerto Banús and Estepona, plus a short connection to Malaga-Costa del Sol Airport at roughly 4 km straight-line. Buyers comparing options should weigh three points: first, at 88 m² the living area is compact for three bedrooms, so alternatives in the same price band may offer more interior space further from the coast. Second, community fees for developments with a clubhouse, spa and indoor pool tend to be higher than for standard apartment blocks, and the exact amounts are not recorded in the available data. Third, the resale position, an existing home rather than off-plan, removes construction risk and waiting time, which many buyers in this segment value at a premium. The regional market context of roughly 3,163 transactions per year indicates an active market with reasonable liquidity for resale.
