Essence Residence Fase 2, in context.

Essence Residence Fase 2 is a 25-apartment scheme in Cancelada, on Estepona's New Golden Mile, aimed at buyers who want golf-side calm within minutes of Puerto Banús. Interiors are drawn up in collaboration with the Pablo Villarroel and Yodezeen studios, pairing contemporary architecture with the greenery of the surrounding valley.

Homes run from two to four bedrooms and 93 to 261 m², priced between €810,000 and €1,936,000. The second phase is already under construction with completion guided for the first quarter of 2029. Twelve of the 25 residences have sold, leaving thirteen available.

Shared amenities include indoor and outdoor pools, a gym and spa, co-working space, concierge and 24/7 security within a gated estate. With Flamingos Golf under a kilometre away and the beach three minutes by car, this is a resort-format address built for year-round use.

The off-plan discount curve

The off-plan discount, stage by stage

Off-plan entry typically offers the largest pricing headroom at the earliest stages. The advantage narrows as construction progresses — at completion the unit is priced at market. Essence Residence Fase 2 currently sits in the Under construction band.

Indicative uplift modelled against comparable new-build completions

Roccabox analyst view

Fase 2 is already under construction with a Q1 2029 delivery, so buyers secure at today's pricing while paying in stages. Momentum is real — twelve of twenty-five homes are sold, leaving thirteen. Against a Cancelada resale market averaging around €3,219 per m², a new resort-format scheme with designer interiors and full amenities offers a specification that established stock in the area rarely matches.

Reserving early

Why buyers reserve at this stage

Personalisation window

Reserving during the Under construction phase gives buyers genuine input into layout, finishes and basement use ahead of handover, a window that closes as the build advances.

Scarcity and specification

13 of 25 units remain. The plot sizes, orientation and amenity package on this scheme are not easily replicated in the immediate resale stock.

Risk-managed entry

Spanish new-build buyers are protected by staged payments held under bank guarantee, ten-year structural warranty and full licence review. Roccabox brokers all of this through regulated counsel.

Market reality

The premium, contextualised

Useful context — not a substitute for unit-level valuation. Pricing data cross-referenced against live Costa del Sol market signals.

Essence Residence Fase 2 is not priced against average Estepona resale stock. It is a premium new-build product with the specification, plot quality and amenity package that the broader resale market typically does not match. At €8,710 per built m² the relevant question is whether the premium is justified against comparable new-build completions, not whether it beats the area's median of €3,382/m².

Residency planning for non-EU buyers

Spain's property-based Golden Visa route closed to new applicants on 3 April 2025. Non-EU buyers acquiring property at this value still have residency routes — non-lucrative visa, digital-nomad visa, and case-specific options — depending on circumstances. We introduce regulated immigration counsel before any commitment.

Common questions

Buying off-plan in Spain, answered

Straight answers to the questions our specialists field most. For anything else, the assistant above answers in real time.

Is Essence Residence Fase 2 a good investment compared to the local resale market?

Essence Residence Fase 2 is positioned as a premium new-build product with developer warranty, modern specification and limited supply. Comparable to the broader resale stock in Estepona on price-per-m², the premium reflects new-build standards, plot quality and amenity package not typically available in the resale market. Our market analysts model the projected key-ready value on request.

What is the off-plan payment schedule in Spain?

Spanish off-plan purchases are typically staged: 10% on reservation (refundable holding deposit), a further 20% on signing the private purchase contract, and the remaining 70% on completion. Every euro paid before completion is held under bank guarantee — if the developer defaults, your money is refunded under Spanish law.

Can a non-resident get a mortgage to buy at Essence Residence Fase 2?

Yes. Spanish banks routinely lend 60–70% loan-to-value to non-residents on properties at this value, over terms of 20–25 years at competitive rates. Roccabox introduces vetted non-resident mortgage brokers at no cost.

Does buying at Essence Residence Fase 2 qualify for Spanish residency?

Spain's property-based Golden Visa route closed to new applicants on 3 April 2025 under Organic Law 1/2025. However, other residency routes remain available depending on circumstances — non-lucrative visa, digital-nomad visa, work or family-based permits. Roccabox introduces regulated Spanish immigration counsel.

How far is Essence Residence Fase 2 from Málaga airport?

Approximately 59 minutes' drive, with a direct route via the A-7 / AP-7 motorway.

What is included in the purchase price?

Price includes the unit as specified by the developer. Spanish purchase costs (VAT/IVA on new builds at 10%, AJD stamp duty at 1.2%, notary and registry around 1%, legal counsel typically 1%) sit on top of the headline price. The Roccabox team produces a personalised total-cost breakdown on request.

Can I personalise the property?

At the Under construction stage, Essence Residence Fase 2 buyers can typically influence layout details, basement configuration, finishes and specification ahead of handover. The window narrows as the build progresses. Our specialist will walk you through what's still negotiable on each remaining unit.
