Pure Sun Residences represents a new development project in the municipality of Manilva, located in the western Costa del Sol. The development features apartments offering three bedrooms across a living area of 105 m². Situated in an urban environment with amenities within walking distance, the project provides proximity to the coast, with the beach located approximately 1.6 km away. Handover is anticipated for Q1 2027.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The project is located in an urban setting in Manilva, near the coastline. The distance to the shoreline is short, with Playa de Manilva at 1.1 km and Puerto Deportivo de la Duquesa at 1.6 km. The location provides immediate access to local amenities such as supermarkets and dining within walking distance.
The apartments are designed for living with a focus on outdoor enjoyment, thanks to private terraces and south-facing orientation. With three bedrooms and two bathrooms across 105 m², the layout offers space for families or couples. The inclusion of an elevator and storage rooms contributes to daily convenience.
Construction of Pure Sun Residences is currently underway with indicative completion set for Q1 2027. The project involves multiple phases, with attention focused on energy efficiency and modern finishes. The structure includes concrete with thermal insulation and air conditioning installations.
This project is classified as 'car dependent', indicating that a vehicle is necessary for most mobility. While amenities are nearby, the location is less suitable for individuals relying exclusively on public transport or cycling for longer distances.
This project suits buyers seeking a combination of beach and amenities proximity without the price tags of more exclusive enclaves like Estepona or Marbella. It is suitable for families intending to use local schools and facilities. Investors looking for a property with rental potential near golf courses and marinas may also find their target here. The necessity of a car makes it less suitable for those staying only incidentally who do not wish to arrange transport.
The build quality of Pure Sun Residences focuses on sustainability and comfort. Facades feature ceramic finishes and insulation materials like polyurethane foam or rock wool, ensuring temperature regulation and sound insulation. Windows are PVC or aluminum with thermal breaks and insulating glazing. Climate control via air conditioning (cooling and heating) is standard. Communal areas are equipped with pools and gardens.
Prices for apartments in Pure Sun start from €398,000. For a starting price around €400,000, buyers acquire a 105 m² unit with three bedrooms. Regionally, prices for this project sit at the lower end compared to surrounding developments like Blue View Heights and Amphora Beach, making it an accessible option in this region.
Manilva offers a setting close to the traditional Spanish lifestyle but with the amenities of modern coastal tourism. The neighborhood is lively due to the presence of various restaurants and cafes nearby. The proximity to La Duquesa marina provides access to water sports and recreation. Several golf courses are located in the immediate vicinity, including Finca Cortesín Golf Club, making the area attractive for sports enthusiasts. The presence of primary schools and health centers nearby supports family suitability.
The immediate living environment is characterized by a mix of permanent residence and tourism. At a short distance (approx. 750 meters), one finds supermarkets for daily groceries. For extensive shopping and medical care, larger surrounding towns are available. The presence of 34 restaurants within a 2 km radius indicates an active hospitality sector. The nearest major marina is Puerto Deportivo de la Duquesa, within walking distance.
The map shows the location of Pure Sun in Manilva, near the coastline and the river mouth. Notable is the short distance to La Duquesa marina and the various golf courses in the immediate vicinity.
Manilva is located at the extreme southwestern edge of the province of Malaga, bordering Cadiz. This places one in a transition zone between the busier Costa del Sol and the quieter coastal stretch of Cadiz. The location offers a strategic position with relatively shorter travel times to both Gibraltar and Malaga.
The accessibility of Pure Sun relies on the car. The nearest beach is 1.6 km away as the crow flies (La Duquesa). Malaga Airport is located 25 km away, also as the crow flies. Golf courses such as Finca Cortesín are 3.6 km away. Public transport connections exist in the region, but frequency and distances make a car practically necessary for daily use.
