Solaia
Project lifecycle
Solaia, in context.
Solaia is a collection of 22 eco-conscious apartments and penthouses in Cancelada, set beside the entrance to the Villa Padierna estate in Los Flamingos Golf, at the centre of Estepona's New Golden Mile. Homes span two to four bedrooms, from 164 m² to 433 m², priced between €890,000 and €2.1 million. The layout is organised around four residence types: garden apartments facing the landscape, cove apartments over the pool, view apartments with wrap-around terraces, and penthouses with solariums, outdoor kitchens and private plunge pools facing the sea.
Interiors use large-format neutral porcelain, soft-toned walls and smart-equipped bathrooms; the scheme runs on aerothermal heating with home automation throughout. Construction is under way, with completion targeted for early 2027. Five of the 22 homes have already sold, leaving 17 available at this stage.

Live data refreshed nightly from our multiple independent sources.
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. Solaia currently sits in the Under construction band.
Solaia is already under construction with completion set for early 2027, which removes much of the launch-phase uncertainty while still allowing buyers to secure a home before handover. With only 22 residences and five sold, supply is genuinely finite. At roughly €5,400 per m² at the entry level, pricing sits above the Cancelada resale median of €3,219 per m² — a premium reflecting new-build specification, wellness amenities and the Flamingos Golf setting rather than a like-for-like comparison.
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
17 of 22 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.
The premium, contextualised
Useful context — not a substitute for unit-level valuation. Pricing data cross-referenced against live Costa del Sol market signals.
Solaia 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 €5,427 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.

What every unit receives
Living in Estepona
Cancelada is a settled community rather than a construction site, with everyday life a short walk away. A Lidl and local shops sit within 500 metres, alongside pharmacies, cafés and restaurants such as Kikos and Casa Giovanni.
Flamingos Golf is two minutes by car, with Tramores and El Paraíso close behind, and Racket Club Villa Padierna handles padel and tennis. Playa del Saladillo is roughly a kilometre from the door. Puerto Banús lies around 18 minutes east; Estepona's marina about 22 minutes west. Hospiten de Estepona is a seven-minute drive.
Málaga airport is a little over an hour away.

Understand the full picture
Spanish purchases involve taxes and fees that catch first-time international buyers off-guard. We surface every figure that matters.
Typical off-plan payment schedule
Spanish new-build purchases are typically paid in three staged instalments, with every euro held under bank guarantee until completion.
Total cost of ownership
Spanish mortgage scenario
Indicative non-resident mortgage on the slider price above. Spanish banks typically lend 60–70% LTV to non-residents over 20–25 years.
Investment outlook
Three scenarios our analysts model on every Costa del Sol off-plan deal.
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.
