Solaia
Project lifecycle
Solaia, in context.
Solaia is a boutique collection of 22 eco-conscious apartments and penthouses positioned beside the entrance to Hotel Villa Padierna on the Los Flamingos Golf estate in Cancelada — the residential spine of the New Golden Mile between Marbella and Estepona. With construction under way and completion scheduled for Q1 2027, the project offers four distinct residence types: garden apartments with private terraces facing the natural landscape, cove apartments overlooking the communal pool, wrap-around vista apartments designed for open entertaining, and full-floor penthouses with outdoor kitchens and private plunge pools oriented towards the sea.
Interiors are finished with large-format neutral porcelain, thermostatic showers, LED smart mirrors, and aerothermal heating throughout. A rainwater harvesting system feeds the Mediterranean-adapted gardens. Amenities extend to a sauna, Turkish bath, gym, yoga room, beach-entry pool, coworking space, concierge, and 24-hour security — a breadth of provision unusual at this scale. Five of the 22 residences have already sold, confirming buyer confidence ahead of completion.

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.
Construction is active and the delivery date of Q1 2027 is defined, removing the uncertainty typical of early pre-launch purchases. The current per-square-metre entry point sits materially above the Cancelada resale median of approximately €3,181/m², which reflects the specification and amenity premium — but with five units already absorbed and only 17 remaining across a scheme of just 22 homes, the scarcity argument is not theoretical. Buyers who commit now secure pricing before any upward revision as the build approaches completion.
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 €3,364/m².

What every unit receives
Living in Estepona
Cancelada occupies a quietly enviable position on the New Golden Mile — close enough to Puerto Banús and central Marbella to reach both within twenty minutes, yet insulated from their pace by the Sierra Bermeja foothills rising immediately to the north. The Mediterranean coastline is a short walk from the development. Los Flamingos Golf and the Hotel Villa Padierna — one of the coast's most established five-star addresses — are immediately adjacent, giving residents access to an established hospitality and leisure infrastructure without travelling far. Estepona town, with its whitewashed old quarter, covered market, and expanding restaurant scene, is a brief drive west. The area's consolidated residential character means services, supermarkets, and international schools are already in place.

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.
