Nubay is a new construction development located on the seafront in Manilva, on the western Costa del Sol. The project features 71 residences, including apartments, penthouses, and villas, all designed to maximize panoramic sea views. The site is separated from the shoreline by a 13,500 m² public green area, ensuring direct beach access while maintaining privacy. Delivery is scheduled for the second quarter of 2028. The development is situated on plot 'Camping Chullera II' within an urban area with amenities within walking distance.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The property is located in Manilva, at the southwestern edge of the Málaga province bordering Cádiz. This position offers a direct connection to the coastline of the western Costa del Sol. The area is transitioning from a traditional municipality into a residential zone for international residents, situated strategically between Puerto de La Duquesa and the Los Alcornocales natural park.
Residences are designed for permanent living or long-term stays, with layouts ranging from two to four bedrooms. The inclusion of elevators, underground parking, and storage rooms provides practical convenience for daily life. Large terraces and an east-facing orientation support a lifestyle centered around outdoor living and sea views.
Construction is currently underway. Technical specifications indicate the use of insulated façades (ETICS system) and aerothermal energy for climate control. The indicative delivery date is set for Q2 2028, implying a construction timeline of approximately three years for buyers.
Potential buyers should note the proximity of the A-7 highway, which may result in traffic noise. Additionally, Manilva is a popular holiday destination, meaning the area can experience high crowds during peak season. The project does not include commercial spaces within the complex, relying on existing infrastructure for retail needs.
This project fits buyers seeking a seaside home with a focus on tranquility and privacy without being isolated. It is suitable for families needing space and proximity to international schools in the region. Investors considering long-term rentals may also find opportunities here, given the demand for accommodation on the western coast. Individuals wishing to escape the bustle of Marbella while retaining access to Costa del Sol amenities will find a practical alternative here. A car is essential for full mobility.
Build quality is supported by modern specifications as outlined in the 'Memoria de calidades'. Façades feature a thermal insulation system (ETICS) and combinations of wood and aluminum panels, contributing to acoustic and thermal comfort. Glazing consists of insulated glass with air chambers, and frames are aluminum with thermal breaks. Aerothermal systems are specified for energy-efficient climate control. Kitchens and bathrooms are finished with contemporary materials.
Prices for residences in Nubay start from €1,250,000. This price level places the project in the higher segment of the Manilva market. Price variation is determined by the property type (apartment, penthouse, or villa), plot size, and position within the complex. Penthouses and villas with direct sea views are priced significantly higher, exceeding €2,000,000. All prices exclude taxes and acquisition costs.
Living at Nubay means residing at the edge of the Mediterranean. The immediate environment is characterized by the presence of Playa de la Chullera nearby. The daily rhythm here is defined by the proximity to the water and coastal facilities. With an average annual temperature of 18.4°C and over 3,800 hours of sunshine per year, outdoor life largely takes place on the terraces and in the communal gardens. The location offers a balance between the vibrancy of coastal towns like Estepona and the quieter nature of the hinterland. It is an accessible environment for both tourists and permanent residents, with basic amenities within walking distance.
The direct living environment of Nubay is defined by the coastline and the A-7 highway connecting the region. Within walking distance, you find Chullera beach and La Duquesa marina. A supermarket is located just over 900 meters away. The presence of three golf courses within a 9 km radius (Finca Cortesín, Estepona Golf) offers recreational options. The neighborhood is urban in character with a mix of permanent residency and tourist rentals.
The map shows the location of Nubay directly on the coastline, bordering Chullera beach. The green zone between the complex and the sea is clearly visible. The connection to the A-7 highway is also marked, facilitating quick links to surrounding towns.
Manilva is located at the westernmost point of the Costa del Sol Occidental. It is an area forming the transition to the Campo de Gibraltar. Compared to centrally located towns like Marbella, there is more space for new developments and lower density here. The location is ideal for those wanting access to the luxury of Sotogrande and the Costa del Sol lifestyle without living in the center of the hustle.
Accessibility by car is optimal due to direct access to the A-7. Málaga Airport is approximately 75 km away (as the crow flies), translating to about a 55-minute drive. Gibraltar Airport is closer, at roughly 27 km. Beach access is direct on foot, but a car is necessary for visits to larger towns like Estepona (approx. 15 km) or facilities like the hospital (8.6 km). Public transport stops exist nearby, but frequency is limited.

Compared to projects in Mijas or Fuengirola, such as Arosa or Waterfall Residences, Nubay offers a different living environment. While projects on the east coast are often closer to international schools and the commercial hub of the Costa del Sol, Manilva provides a quieter, less developed setting. Nubay's starting prices are higher than Astra Homes in Fuengirola, driven by its frontline beach position and larger plot size. Projects in Sotogrande, just across the border, are often priced higher and focus more on a gated community lifestyle. Nubay positions itself in between, focusing on publicly accessible beaches and modern architecture without the gates of a typical 'gated community'.
