This three-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment is located in Manilva, at the southwestern edge of Málaga province on the border with Cádiz. The property measures approximately 85 m² and was completed in 2011, with a recent renovation recorded. It forms part of a gated complex with a communal pool, communal parking and a communal garden. The apartment holds a valid tourist licence and is oriented south, with sea and mountain views from a covered private terrace. Everyday amenities, including a supermarket and pharmacy, are within walking distance, and the nearest beach at La Duquesa lies roughly 2.6 km away.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The apartment sits in an urban part of Manilva, roughly 2.5 km inland from the coast at Playa de Manilva and 2.6 km from La Duquesa beach. The elevation is around 79 metres above sea level with a moderate 3% slope towards the sea. Gibraltar Airport is approximately 26 km away in a straight line; Málaga Airport lies roughly 75 km distant.
The property offers three bedrooms and two bathrooms across roughly 85 m², supplemented by a large storage room. It is delivered fully furnished with a fully fitted kitchen, air conditioning, a covered private terrace and communal parking. South orientation provides exposure to sun throughout the day. These features suit both permanent residence and intermittent use.
This is not a new-build development. The building was completed in 2011 (indicative) and the apartment has since undergone renovation. Its condition is recorded as excellent and recently renovated. Buyers purchasing this property acquire an existing, completed home rather than a unit under construction, so no off-plan payment stages or construction waiting times apply.
The property does not include a private pool, private garden or private parking space; these are communal facilities. There is no lift-based beachfront position; the beach lies approximately 2.5 km away, typically reached by car. The electric vehicle charging point is around 10 km distant. The listed surface area is 85 m², which is modest relative to some three-bedroom alternatives in the region.
This property fits several recognisable situations. A buyer seeking a turn-key second home on the Costa del Sol will find a furnished, renovated apartment requiring no works before occupation. A purchaser prioritising rental income may value the valid tourist licence and the option of year-round letting, which is not universally available in Andalusian coastal municipalities. Households wanting proximity to services without full car dependency benefit from the supermarket and pharmacy within a few hundred metres. Buyers focused on golf or marina leisure use the position between Doña Julia golf course (2.2 km) and Puerto Deportivo de la Duquesa (2.5 km). The property is less obviously suited to buyers requiring a private pool, a private garden or direct beachfront access, since these are absent. Those needing frequent long-haul flights may note that Gibraltar Airport is around 26 km away while Málaga Airport is roughly 75 km, which affects transfer times depending on route choice. Families will find three primary schools and one secondary school in the municipality, plus a health centre, though the immediate 2 km radius contains a single school. Retirees or part-year residents seeking a quiet base with moderate winter temperatures and a five-month swimming season may also find the profile matches their usage pattern.
The apartment's condition is recorded as excellent following a recent renovation. Internal materials visible in the property documentation include a modern white bathroom with a vanity unit and a bedroom with wood-accent joinery and fitted closet space. The kitchen is fully fitted and the property is sold fully furnished, which reduces the initial outlay for buyers intending to occupy or let it immediately. Climate control is provided through air conditioning, relevant given summer temperatures in the region. Technical documentation lists south orientation, sea and mountain views, a covered private terrace and a private terrace area. As a 2011 building, the construction predates current energy-efficiency standards applied to new builds; no specific energy certificate value is recorded in the available data, so buyers should request the existing certificado de eficiencia energética during due diligence. The complex is gated, which typically implies controlled access and perimeter security. Communal facilities comprise the pool, garden and parking. The large storage room adds practical capacity for seasonal items, luggage or equipment. A floorplan in the listing shows the layout of living room, kitchen, bedrooms and balcony. Prospective buyers should verify the technical building inspection report (ITE) status and community financials through their legal representative, as with any resale purchase in Spain.
The asking price is €385,000. Comparable listings in Manilva include Morasol from €363,805, Horizon Views from €369,200 and Moon 64 from €381,800, placing this property at the upper end of that local range. The price reflects a completed, renovated and furnished three-bedroom unit with a valid tourist licence, a feature relevant to rental use. The licence permits both tourist and year-round letting, subject to applicable regulations. Storage space and communal facilities are included. As with all listings, the stated price is subject to negotiation and additional purchase costs such as transfer tax and notary fees.
Daily life here revolves around a small-scale urban setting within a municipality of just over 18,000 inhabitants. A supermarket sits 315 metres from the complex and a pharmacy 159 metres, meaning basic shopping does not require a car. The immediate 2 km radius contains a small number of restaurants, a school, banks, a park and a café, which characterises the area as convenient but low-density rather than a bustling resort centre. The residential rhythm is quiet for most of the year, with activity increasing during the summer months when coastal tourism peaks. The apartment's south-facing covered terrace functions as an extension of the living space for much of the year, supported by the region's roughly 3,845 annual sunshine hours. With an average annual temperature of 18.5°C, outdoor use of the terrace and the communal pool spans a long season. The swimming season, defined by sea temperatures at or above 20°C, lasts around five months. For recreation, the Complejo Deportivo Las Viñas sports centre is under 1 km away, and several golf courses including Doña Julia lie within a short drive. Puerto Deportivo de la Duquesa, at 2.5 km, provides marina facilities, dining and a seafront promenade described as modern in style. A car is useful for beach visits and regional travel, though not strictly necessary for daily errands.
Manilva occupies the southwesternmost coastal edge of Málaga province, bordering Cádiz. The municipality covers 35 km² and recorded 18,165 inhabitants in 2025, with 1,351 property transactions indicating an active local market. Living in this part of the Costa del Sol Occidental means a slower rhythm than Marbella (36 km) or Estepona, with Sotogrande port roughly 10 minutes away by car as the nearest large marina hub. Daily infrastructure includes six public transport lines with 36 stops, giving limited but real connectivity. Healthcare is provided locally through a health centre, with hospitals approximately 20 minutes away towards Estepona. Education provision consists of three primary schools and one secondary school. The surroundings combine coastal and rural elements: vineyards and hillside terrain characterise the inland part of the municipality, while the coast carries the beaches of Sabinillas, La Duquesa and Playa de la Chullera. Sports infrastructure is well developed for the population size, with 34 facilities recorded, including padel courts, gyms and polo and yacht clubs in the wider area. The area's 34 local public holidays per year reflect an active municipal calendar of festivals and traditions. Noise levels are generally low outside the summer season, though proximity to planned development directly in front of the terrace may alter the immediate outlook over time.
The map shows the apartment's position within urban Manilva, inland of the coastal strip between Sabinillas and the Duquesa marina. Nearby markers identify the supermarket and pharmacy within walking distance, the beaches at 2.5 to 3.6 km, and the cluster of golf courses to the west and north. Gibraltar lies just across the bay to the southwest.

Manilva records approximately 3,845 sunshine hours per year historically, one of the higher figures for the Iberian peninsula, and an average annual temperature of 18.5°C. The swimming season, based on sea temperatures of 20°C or above, lasts around five months, typically from late spring to early autumn. The apartment sits at 79 metres above sea level with a moderate 3% slope towards the coast, meaning the walk or drive to the beach involves a gentle gradient rather than steep terrain. The position between the sea and the inland hills produces the recorded sea and mountain views. The microclimate at the southwestern edge of Málaga province benefits from Atlantic influence near the Strait of Gibraltar, which moderates summer heat compared with areas further east along the coast. Winters are mild, supporting year-round terrace use. Vegetation in the surrounding municipality includes the vineyards for which Manilva is known, alongside typical Mediterranean scrub on the hillsides.

Within Manilva itself, this apartment's €385,000 asking price compares with Morasol from €363,805, Horizon Views from €369,200 and Moon 64 from €381,800. Against those comparables, this property carries a modest premium of roughly 1% to 6%, justified in the listing data by its renovated condition, full furnishing and, above all, its valid tourist licence, a legal attribute that not all resale apartments in Andalusia hold and which directly enables short-term letting. Regionally, Manilva sits at the value end of the Costa del Sol Occidental. Marbella, 36 km east with nearly 148,000 inhabitants, commands materially higher price levels, as does much of Estepona's newer build stock. To the west, Sotogrande in Cádiz province offers a comparable marina-and-golf lifestyle at generally higher price points for villa product. The property's position between Doña Julia and Finca Cortesín golf courses places it within one of the denser golf clusters on the western Costa del Sol, a factor that supports rental demand in shoulder seasons. The planned beach club development directly opposite the terrace is a material local factor: it signals capital inflow into the immediate area, while its eventual construction phase may cause temporary disruption and its final form will affect the current view. Buyers weighing this property against new-build alternatives such as Horizon Views or Moon 64 trade developer warranties and modern energy standards against immediate availability, an existing community structure and, in this case, a rental licence already in place. Distances to the coast are similar across all four options, as all sit in the same broad band between the A-7 road and the shoreline.
