This key-ready 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom duplex of 121 m² forms part of the newly completed Bahía de las Rocas development in Manilva, on the western Costa del Sol. The asking price is fixed at €460,000, with a furnished interior by a Belgian designer available separately for €40,000. The property is distributed over two levels with a 20 m² south-west facing terrace offering views over the sea, Gibraltar and the Moroccan coast. A private parking space and storage room are included. The nearest beach, La Duquesa, lies approximately 2.6 km away as the crow flies, and everyday amenities such as a pharmacy and supermarket are within walking distance.
Within Manilva, this duplex competes with new-build projects such as Morasol (from €363,805), Horizon Views (from €369,200) and Moon 64 (from €375,000). Those figures are from-prices for new construction, meaning buyers select a unit and typically wait for completion; this property, by contrast, is already finished and carries a fixed asking price of €460,000. Part of the premium is explained by what is included: 121 m² of living space spread over two levels, a 20 m² terrace plus additional bedroom terraces and an interior courtyard, a private parking space in the underground garage, and a storage room. Off-plan entry units in the municipality often start smaller or lower in the development. Location within Manilva matters too. This duplex stands in an urban setting with a pharmacy at 159 m and a supermarket at 315 m, which not every hillside development in the municipality can claim; some competing projects sit closer to golf courses but further from daily amenities. Compared with the wider western Costa del Sol, Manilva remains priced below Estepona centre and considerably below Marbella, 36 km to the east, while sharing the same coastline, climate and golf infrastructure, Finca Cortesín lies just 3.3 km away. The proximity of Gibraltar Airport (about 26 km straight-line) is a distinguishing feature for buyers who value shorter transfers, although flight choice there is narrower than at Málaga. For buyers weighing this property against off-plan alternatives, the practical trade-off is between paying more now for a completed, walkable home with views, or paying less and accepting a construction period and completion risk. Either route, community fees, IBI and rubbish tax should be confirmed before comparing total costs of ownership.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The duplex sits in an urban area of Manilva near the coast, close to the border with the province of Cádiz. A pharmacy lies 159 m away and a supermarket 315 m, both within easy walking distance. La Duquesa beach and marina are roughly 2.6 km away in a straight line, while Sotogrande Port and Estepona are short drives. Gibraltar Airport is approximately 26 km distant as the crow flies.
The home offers three bedrooms and two bathrooms across 121 m², with a master bedroom including an en-suite bathroom. Each bedroom opens onto a terrace, and one has a private interior courtyard. The open-plan living and dining area connects to a 20 m² main terrace. Air conditioning, marble flooring, fitted wardrobes, a lift and WiFi are present. Communal facilities include an infinity pool, gym, sauna and jacuzzi.
The property was completed in November 2025 as part of a newly delivered residential development and is key-ready. Delivery and completion dates stated by developers are always indicative; in this case the construction phase is finished. The interior has been furnished and decorated by a Belgian designer, with the furniture package offered as an optional addition rather than included in the asking price.
The property does not include a private pool; the swimming pool is communal. There is no private garden, and outdoor space consists of terraces and an interior courtyard. The furniture package is excluded from the asking price. EV charging is available only at a distance of roughly 10 km. The development is not directly on the beachfront; the coast lies around 2.5 km away in a straight line.
This property matches a buyer who wants a finished home rather than an off-plan purchase: construction was completed in November 2025 and the keys are available, so there is no waiting period or construction risk. It suits those planning to use the home for extended stays or relocation, given the walking-distance pharmacy, supermarket and school within two kilometres. The three bedrooms and two bathrooms, one en-suite, accommodate a family or visiting guests. Buyers seeking sea views without paying direct beachfront prices may find the elevated position with a south-west terrace relevant, since the view stretches over the sea towards Gibraltar and Morocco. Golf players are within 2.2 km of Doña Julia and 3.3 km of Finca Cortesín, two courses within a short drive. The property is less suited to buyers who want a private pool or a private garden, as the pool is communal and outdoor space consists of terraces. Those wanting a turnkey interior can add the designer furniture package, while buyers preferring to furnish themselves can treat the €40,000 as optional. Finally, the location works best for people comfortable with a car for longer trips, Gibraltar Airport is about 26 km away as the crow flies and Málaga Airport roughly 75 km, even though daily essentials are walkable.
The developer data lists the property as new construction in excellent condition, delivered in November 2025. Flooring throughout is marble, a material associated with cool interiors in the Andalusian climate and straightforward maintenance. Climate control is provided by air conditioning. Bedrooms have fitted wardrobes, and the master bedroom includes an en-suite bathroom alongside a separate family bathroom. The interior has been furnished and decorated by a Belgian designer whose work is visible in the listing photographs, which show, among others, a modern white wardrobe in a bedroom and a lounge set on the sea-facing balcony. The furniture package can be purchased separately for €40,000; without it, the buyer receives the completed property itself. A lift serves the building, and a private parking space in the underground garage, number 18 according to the imagery, plus a storage room are included in the sale. Within the development, shared facilities comprise an infinity swimming pool with panoramic views, a fully equipped gym, a sauna and a jacuzzi. WiFi is installed. The property benefits from multiple view aspects: sea, mountain, country and panoramic. As with any recently delivered project, completion dates and finish details are indicative until verified in person, and an independent technical survey remains a sensible step before purchase.
The asking price is fixed at €460,000 for this existing, key-ready duplex; it is not a from-price for a range of units. On top of this, the furniture package designed by a Belgian interior designer is available for an additional €40,000, bringing the total to €500,000 for a fully furnished home. As a point of comparison, new-build projects in Manilva currently advertise from-prices of €363,805 (Morasol), €369,200 (Horizon Views) and €375,000 (Moon 64). This property therefore sits above the local entry level, which reflects its completed status, 121 m² of living space, terraces, parking space and storage room. Annual costs such as community fees and local taxes are not stated in the available data and should be confirmed with the seller.
Daily life here revolves around a compact urban setting with essentials on the doorstep. A pharmacy sits 159 m from the front door and a supermarket 315 m, meaning routine shopping can be done on foot. Within two kilometres there are restaurants, a school, a bank, a park and a café, which supports year-round living rather than purely holiday use. The duplex itself is arranged over two levels: the upper floor holds the open-plan living area, kitchen and the 20 m² terrace oriented south-west, while the lower level contains the three bedrooms, including the master with en-suite bathroom. Because every bedroom has direct terrace access, the indoor and outdoor spaces connect on both floors. The gradient from the development down to the beach is moderate at around 3%, so the walk to the coast is feasible for most people, taking roughly 15 minutes on foot according to the seller's information. Manilva municipality counts about 18,165 inhabitants (2025), with three primary schools, one secondary school and a health centre, giving the area the character of a settled town rather than a seasonal resort. Sports facilities in the municipality number 34, including Complejo Deportivo Las Viñas under a kilometre away. The location suits a rhythm of local errands on foot, beach visits by foot or short drive, and day trips towards Sotogrande, Estepona or Gibraltar.
The surroundings combine residential calm with practical accessibility. Manilva lies at the south-western edge of the province of Málaga, on the border with Cádiz, and belongs to the comarca of Costa del Sol Occidental. The municipality covers 35 km² and holds around 18,165 residents. Everyday infrastructure is dense for a town of this size: within two kilometres of the property there are restaurants, a school, two pharmacies, a bank, a park and a café. The hospital is 6.2 km away, and a health centre operates in the municipality. Beach access is realistic without a car: Playa de Manilva lies 2.5 km away in a straight line, La Duquesa 3.1 km and Playa de Casares 3.6 km, and the seller indicates the beach is roughly a 15-minute walk. Public transport exists in the form of 6 bus lines serving 36 stops, which covers local movement, though a car remains convenient for regional trips. Sports facilities are well represented with 34 in the municipality, including Complejo Deportivo Las Viñas at 0.9 km. Marinas at Puerto Deportivo de la Duquesa (2.5 km) and Sotogrande (9.6 km) add nautical options. The terrain slopes moderately towards the sea, about 3% gradient, so walking routes are manageable but not entirely flat.
The map shows the duplex's position in the hills above Manilva's coastline, roughly 2.5 km from the sea in a straight line. Markers indicate the nearby beaches of La Duquesa and Playa de Manilva, the Doña Julia and Finca Cortesín golf courses, the marinas of Duquesa and Sotogrande, and the straight-line distances to Gibraltar and Málaga airports.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Manilva occupies the western end of the Costa del Sol, bordering Cádiz province, which places it closer to Sotogrande and Gibraltar than to Málaga city (83 km straight-line). Marbella lies 36 km to the east and Algeciras 32 km to the west, positioning the town between two urban anchors while retaining its own scale of about 18,000 inhabitants. This makes the area quieter than the Marbella-Estepona corridor, yet within a 15-minute drive of Estepona's full range of services. The housing market records roughly 1,351 transactions per year, indicating an active but not saturated local market.
Distances below are straight-line, as the crow flies; road distances are longer. Gibraltar Airport is approximately 26 km away and Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport roughly 75 km, giving the location two airport options, with Gibraltar considerably closer. Marbella lies 36 km distant and Estepona about a 15-minute drive according to the seller. Beaches within easy reach include Playa de Manilva (2.5 km), La Duquesa (3.1 km) and Playa de Casares (3.6 km). Golfers can reach Doña Julia at 2.2 km, its upper section at 2.4 km, and Finca Cortesín Golf Club at 3.3 km; Estepona Golf is 5.8 km away. Daily provisions are close: the supermarket sits 315 m and the pharmacy 159 m from the property. Electric-vehicle charging requires a trip of about 10 km. A car is useful but not essential for everything, since six public transport lines with 36 stops serve the area and basic amenities are walkable.

Manilva records an average annual temperature of 18.5°C, consistent with the mild winter profile of the western Costa del Sol. The swimming season, defined by sea temperatures of 20°C or above, lasts about five months, roughly June through October. The property stands at 79 m above sea level, high enough to secure the sea views towards Gibraltar and Morocco described in the listing, yet low enough that the walk to the coast remains realistic along a moderate gradient of around 3%. The terrain inland rises towards the hills of the Manilva municipality, and the listing notes mountain and country views alongside the sea view, reflecting the position between the coast and the Sierras. Outdoor use of the 20 m² south-west terrace is supported by the regional climate: south-west orientation favours afternoon and evening sun, which suits dining outside during the long warm season. Nature options nearby include the coastal path between Manilva's beaches and the more rugged stretches towards Playa de la Chullera, 4.1 km away in a straight line.

The municipality holds two Blue Flag beaches, La Gaviotas and Sabinillas, indicating maintained water quality and services. The nearest beach to the property, La Duquesa at 2.6 km straight-line, sits next to Puerto Deportivo de la Duquesa, a marina with 2.5 km separation that provides a seafront promenade, moorings and waterfront dining. Further options include Playa de Manilva (2.5 km), Playa de Casares (3.6 km) and Playa de la Chullera (4.1 km), the latter known for rockier, less developed stretches of coast. Golf is a strong feature of this part of the Costa del Sol: Doña Julia lies 2.2 km away, with its upper section at 2.4 km, and Finca Cortesín Golf Club, host of professional tour events, at 3.3 km. The Golf Academy Albayt Resort (5.0 km) and Estepona Golf (5.8 km) extend the choice. Sotogrande Port, 9.6 km away, adds sailing and polo-adjacent recreation within a short drive. Within the development itself, the infinity pool, gym, sauna and jacuzzi provide daily recreation without leaving the site.
