This new development in Manilva, Málaga offers three-bedroom residential properties positioned on elevated terrain with views towards the Mediterranean. The project consists of homes with 110m² to 147m² of built space, featuring communal areas including an infinity pool and gym facilities. Located within an established urban environment, the development places residents within walking distance of daily necessities while providing access to nearby beaches and golf courses that characterise this part of the Costa del Sol.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The development is situated in Manilva, positioned on elevated terrain 30 metres above sea level. It benefits from proximity to the coastline, with Playa de la Chullera located 0.5 kilometres distant. The urban setting provides immediate access to amenities including supermarkets and pharmacies within 400 metres, while maintaining connections to larger urban centres via the A-7 coastal motorway.
The three-bedroom configuration with two or three bathrooms accommodates families seeking primary or secondary residences. Built areas of 110m² to 147m² provide adequate space for comfortable living, with each property including dedicated parking. The south-east and south-west orientations ensure natural light throughout the day, while the terraced design offers private outdoor spaces suitable for Mediterranean living.
Currently under construction, the development represents contemporary Mediterranean architecture with completion timelines subject to construction schedules. The project implements modern building techniques with energy efficiency considerations incorporated into the design. The phased construction allows for structured development of the site, with the communal areas including swimming facilities and green spaces being developed alongside the residential units.
The development does not offer private swimming pools, with residents instead sharing the communal infinity pool. Properties do not include individual garden spaces, featuring only private terraces. The elevated position with moderate gradients (4.8% towards the beach) may present accessibility challenges for those with mobility considerations. The absence of on-site commercial facilities means residents must use nearby amenities for daily shopping.

This development suits families or couples seeking a permanent residence in coastal Andalucía with good access to amenities. The three-bedroom configuration accommodates those planning to live in the property year-round, while the quality finishes and proximity to golf courses make it equally suitable as a second home for holidays or extended stays. The location appeals to those who appreciate having daily necessities within walking distance, combined with the lifestyle benefits of nearby beaches and recreational facilities. For working professionals, the relative proximity to Gibraltar (22 kilometres) offers potential employment opportunities, while the established urban environment of Manilva provides community services including schools and healthcare facilities. The development also presents itself as an option for those seeking a property with investment potential in an area of growing popularity on the western Costa del Sol.
The properties feature fully fitted kitchens integrated with lounge areas, designed for modern living with functional layouts. Bathrooms include ensuite facilities, with specifications indicating attention to both practicality and aesthetic presentation. The inclusion of fitted wardrobes provides storage solutions that maintain the clean lines of contemporary design. Climate control systems incorporate both heating and air conditioning, addressing seasonal temperature variations experienced in southern Spain. Communal areas demonstrate attention to detail with landscaped gardens and an infinity pool positioned to maximise views. The construction employs contemporary building methods with energy efficiency considerations, reflecting current standards in new Spanish residential developments. The south-facing orientation of properties has been utilised to enhance natural lighting and passive solar benefits.
Properties in this development are priced from €410,000 to €608,000, reflecting the three-bedroom configuration with quality specifications. The pricing positions the development within the mid-to-upper segment of the Manilva market, comparable to similar new constructions in the area. The inclusion of dedicated parking spaces within the purchase price represents additional value, as parking is at a premium in coastal developments. The 110m² to 147m² built areas provide a price-per-square-metre ratio consistent with new developments in this part of the Costa del Sol, with the panoramic sea views contributing to the premium positioning of the upper-range units.
Daily life in this Manilva development combines residential convenience with coastal accessibility. Morning routines might begin with coffee on the southeast-facing terrace, followed by a short walk to the supermarket 315 metres away for essentials. The proximity to the pharmacy at 159 metres ensures healthcare needs are readily met. Residents might spend afternoons at the communal infinity pool or explore nearby beaches, with Playa de la Chullera reachable within a 10-minute walk. The location supports both relaxation and activity, with golf courses approximately 3-5 kilometres distant for those interested in the sport. Evenings can be enjoyed on private terraces with views towards the Mediterranean, taking advantage of the 3,845 annual sunshine hours the area receives.
The development integrates into the established urban fabric of Manilva, where residents benefit from immediate access to daily necessities. The presence of three primary schools and one secondary school within the municipality supports family living, while health centres provide medical services without extensive travel. The area's 18,165 inhabitants create a community atmosphere without the density of larger urban centres. The 35.0 km² municipal area allows for a balance between development and natural spaces. The 34 local festivals throughout the year indicate a community with cultural activities and social engagement. The median income of €16,450 in the province reflects a mixed demographic of permanent residents and second-home owners, creating a stable environment with seasonal variations in population during holiday periods.
The development occupies elevated terrain in Manilva with views towards the Mediterranean. The site connects to the A-7 coastal motorway, providing access to Estepona (15km east), Marbella (30km east), and Gibraltar (22km west). The coastline features beaches at intervals, with golf courses distributed throughout the area. The map position shows the development as part of the western Costa del Sol's residential corridor, positioned between established urban centres and resort developments.
Manilva occupies a strategic position on the western Costa del Sol, situated approximately midway between the larger urban centres of Estepona to the northeast and Gibraltar to the southwest. This location provides access to both the established amenities of the Spanish coastline and the international connections of Gibraltar. The area represents the transition between the densely developed central Costa del Sol and the relatively more exclusive Sotogrande region. At 76 kilometres from Málaga city, Manilva maintains sufficient distance to avoid urban sprawl while remaining connected to provincial services and infrastructure. The development benefits from this position, offering residents access to both local Spanish culture and international facilities found in nearby resorts.
Beach access is convenient with Playa de la Chullera located just 0.5 kilometres from the development, reachable within a 10-minute walk. Slightly further afield, La Duquesa beach at 2.4 kilometres offers additional coastal amenities. The Puerto Deportivo de la Duquesa marina at 2.7 kilometres provides waterfront dining and leisure facilities. Golf enthusiasts have excellent options with Finca Cortesín Golf Club situated 3.3 kilometres distant and several other courses within a 5-7 kilometre radius. Gibraltar Airport lies 22 kilometres away, approximately 25 minutes by car, while Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport at 76 kilometres offers wider flight connections. The town centre provides comprehensive shopping and services within a short drive, while larger commercial centres in Estepona are easily accessible via the coastal A-7 motorway.

The elevated position at 30 metres above sea level provides natural ventilation and slightly elevated temperatures compared to immediate coastal areas. The Mediterranean climate delivers average annual temperatures of 18.4°C, with winter averages around 12°C and summer peaks reaching approximately 26°C. The region benefits from 3,845 sunshine hours annually, creating ample opportunity for outdoor living. The five-month swimming season (when water temperature exceeds 20°C) typically extends from May to October, maximising use of both private terraces and communal pool facilities. The moderate 4.8% gradient towards the sea aids natural drainage while maintaining relatively easy access to the coast. South-east and south-west orientations ensure properties receive sunlight throughout the day, contributing to natural temperature regulation and extended terrace usability.

Within Manilva's real estate landscape, this development positions itself in the mid-to-upper price segment, with comparable projects including Blue Marine (starting at €465,000) and Blue View Heights (from €490,000). The pricing structure places it above the Pure Sun development (from €398,000) in the same municipality, reflecting differences in specifications and views. When compared to the neighbouring municipality of Casares, this development offers relatively good value, particularly given the proximity to multiple golf courses typically associated with premium pricing. The elevation and panoramic views provide characteristics more commonly found in the exclusive Sotogrande area just west of Manilva, where property values are generally 20-30% higher for comparable specifications. The development balances accessibility to amenities with the perceived exclusivity of elevated coastal living, a combination that distinguishes it from both the denser urban developments of Estepona and the more isolated country properties found further inland.
