Development guide
The newer Oceana communities above Cancelada
Oceana Gardens expanded the wider Oceana residential concept with two additional phases positioned above Cancelada in Estepona. Both were designed around contemporary architecture, substantial terraces and communal leisure facilities, while maintaining the convenient relationship with the village and New Golden Mile below.
Oceana Gardens I comprises 52 two- and three-bedroom homes. Oceana Gardens II comprises 56 homes and broadens the mix further with apartments, penthouses and two-bedroom townhouses.
Both phases are now sold out from the original developer. Homes becoming available are therefore resale opportunities from existing owners rather than direct developer stock.

Compare the phases
Oceana Gardens I and Oceana Gardens II
The two phases share a common design philosophy but differ in scale and property mix.
Phase I
Oceana Gardens I
Gardens I comprises 52 two- and three-bedroom homes designed with large terraces and a predominantly southwest-facing orientation.
The original development proposition included an outdoor swimming pool, equipped gym, coworking space, pétanque areas and access to the wider clubhouse facilities.
The phase suits buyers looking for a contemporary apartment or penthouse setting with additional lifestyle amenities within the community.
Phase II
Oceana Gardens II
Gardens II comprises 56 homes and extends the property mix beyond apartments and penthouses to include two-bedroom townhouses.
Large terraces and southwest-facing outdoor spaces remain central to the design, with resident facilities continuing the leisure-focused approach established in Gardens I.
The addition of townhouses makes Gardens II particularly interesting for buyers who want a more house-like layout while remaining within the Oceana environment.
Architecture & outdoor living
Contemporary homes shaped around the terraces
Oceana Gardens continues the clean architectural style seen across the wider Oceana communities, using light façades, large areas of glazing and broad terraces to create a strong connection between indoor and outdoor living.
The southwest orientation promoted within the original development was designed to take advantage of afternoon sunshine and the area's open coastal setting.
Individual resale homes can now differ considerably in furnishing, finishes and upgrades, so buyers should always assess the particular property rather than relying solely on historic developer imagery.
Resident facilities
More than simply a swimming pool
Oceana Gardens was designed with a broader lifestyle proposition than many conventional apartment developments, combining landscaped residential surroundings with communal leisure and working facilities.
Outdoor pool
Communal swimming and relaxation areas for residents.
Gym
Equipped fitness facilities within the wider residential environment.
Coworking
Dedicated space designed for residents who work remotely.
Pétanque
Additional outdoor social and leisure space.
Wider Oceana lifestyle
Clubhouse access
Access to the wider clubhouse facilities also formed part of the original Oceana Gardens proposition, complementing the facilities contained within the individual residential phases.
As with any established community, current access conditions, fees and membership arrangements should be checked for the individual property before purchase.
Location
Living above Cancelada
Oceana Gardens sits above Cancelada in Estepona, close to the established residential communities of the New Golden Mile and within convenient reach of the village's shops, cafés, restaurants, supermarkets and pharmacies.
Beaches, golf courses, international schools and coastal restaurants are all within the surrounding area, while the A-7 provides direct road access towards central Estepona, San Pedro de Alcántara, Puerto Banús and Marbella.
The combination makes Oceana Gardens suitable for buyers seeking a permanent home, a modern second residence or a low-maintenance base on the western Costa del Sol.

Buying in Oceana Gardens
Now an established resale market
Both Oceana Gardens phases are sold out from the original developer, so homes currently becoming available are resale purchases from existing owners.
The general Property Transfer Tax (ITP) rate on resale residential property in Andalucía is currently 7%. This differs from the VAT and Stamp Duty structure normally associated with purchasing a newly built home directly from a developer.
The tax position depends on the purchaser and transaction. Independent legal and tax advice should always be obtained before purchase.
