This development in Manilva presents an 87 m² apartment featuring two bedrooms and two bathrooms. Located at an elevation of 137 meters, the property benefits from a southwest orientation. Situated in an 'Holiday Village' concept, the complex includes communal amenities such as swimming pools and sports facilities. The Costa del Sol Occidental coastline is accessible within a short distance, while the immediate vicinity offers urban amenities including a pharmacy and supermarket within walking distance.
Compared to projects in Mijas, such as Arosa (from €490,000), this apartment in Manilva is significantly more affordable. Even against cheaper options in Fuengirola, like Astra Homes (from €364,000), the entry price here is lower. This reflects Manilva's market position: an area in development offering better value for money. While Waterfall Residences targets a higher segment, this project focuses on the accessible market for holiday homes and investors, driven by its hassle-free rental concept.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The apartment is located in the municipality of Manilva, at the southwestern edge of the province of Málaga. The setting is urban with direct access to local services. At an elevation of 137 meters above sea level, the property provides views of the area. The Mediterranean Sea is approximately 2.5 kilometers away as the crow flies, accessible via a moderate 4.4% slope, placing the coastline within easy reach.
This property targets investors and recreational users specifically. The 87 m² layout offers two bedrooms and a fully fitted kitchen, designed for functionality and rental purposes. The covered terrace provides additional outdoor space. For those seeking low-maintenance living with communal services, this complex offers a structure where management is largely outsourced to the operator.
The construction phase is complete, meaning the apartments are immediately available for use or rental. The units are part of a fully operational holiday village. Consequently, communal amenities like pools and sports facilities are currently accessible, and any initial construction issues have been resolved.
This is a pure investment property and not a primary residence. There are specific usage terms, including a maximum personal occupancy of two months per year. While a vehicle is helpful for accessing the beach and surrounding towns, local amenities are within walking distance. The cadastral reference and energy label are not disclosed in this analysis.
This apartment suits individuals seeking a holiday home in Spain without the burden of maintenance. It is ideal for investors looking for immediate rental returns. Due to the occupancy limit of two months, it is less suitable for those wishing to reside in Spain for the majority of the year. It fits those who want to enjoy the Costa del Sol during vacations and rent the property out otherwise.
The apartment features a standard level of finish suitable for the holiday rental market. The kitchen is fully installed and bathrooms are modern. Materials are chosen for durability and ease of maintenance. Air conditioning (hot/cold) ensures year-round comfort. The communal gardens are designed to be low-maintenance, consistent with the holiday park concept.
Prices for these apartments start from €162,500. This figure represents the purchase price excluding additional transaction costs. The project is positioned in a lower price bracket compared to developments in Mijas or Fuengirola. The 'from' pricing suggests potential variation based on the specific unit and its location within the complex.
