A detached villa under construction in La Paloma, Manilva, on the southwestern Costa del Sol between Estepona and Sotogrande. The residence forms part of a boutique development of ten individually designed villas and offers four bedrooms, four bathrooms and 220 m² of living space on a plot of 848 m². The property faces south, with a private pool, terraces on three levels and a rooftop solarium oriented towards the Mediterranean. Shops, a pharmacy and a sports centre are within walking distance, while several golf courses and the beaches of the Manilva coast lie a short drive away. Delivery is indicatively planned for the first quarter of 2027. The asking price is fixed at €1,400,000.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The villa sits in the consolidated residential area of La Paloma de Manilva, close to the coast in an urban environment with daily amenities within walking distance. A supermarket lies roughly 315 metres away and a pharmacy about 159 metres. The nearest beach, La Duquesa, is 2.6 km away as the crow flies, while Gibraltar Airport is approximately 26 km from the site.
The layout serves households that value outdoor living: a single-level transition from the living room to the covered terrace, private pool and lawn, a 10x4 metre pool, plus a ground-floor terrace of about 40 m², a first-floor balcony of roughly 60 m² and a rooftop solarium of approximately 100 m². Four bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms accommodate family use or visiting guests.
Construction is currently under way, with delivery indicatively scheduled for the first quarter of 2027. The development consists of ten turnkey villas designed by architect Daniel Martín Ferrero and built by a Swiss developer. Buyers select finishes through coordinated consultations at Porcelanosa showrooms, including locations in Madrid, London and Zurich, rather than from digital catalogues.
The property is one of ten villas in a small-scale development without shared communal facilities such as a residents' gym or communal pool; recreation relies on the private plot and nearby public amenities. An electric-vehicle charging point is not on site; the nearest known charging option is about 10 km away. Distances to beaches and golf courses require short car journeys.
This villa fits buyers who want a detached new-build home with genuine outdoor space but without the maintenance burden of a large estate. The 848 m² plot is big enough for a pool, lawn and multiple terraces, while remaining manageable for part-year residents. Households relocating permanently will find practical anchors nearby: a supermarket and pharmacy within walking distance, three primary schools and one secondary school in the municipality, a health centre, and six public transport lines with 36 stops in the area, a car is convenient here, but not strictly necessary for daily life. It also suits buyers prioritising privacy and consistency of setting. The development consists of only ten villas within a consolidated residential neighbourhood, which limits the turnover and construction activity that newer urbanisations often experience. The south orientation and rooftop solarium appeal to those who plan extended stays through spring and autumn rather than only the summer weeks. Finally, the property may interest buyers comparing the Manilva coast with pricier areas further east. Marbella lies about 36 km away as the crow flies, and the villa is positioned between Estepona and Sotogrande, giving access to both markets. What the property does not offer is a walk-to-beach location, the nearest sand is roughly 2.6 km away, or on-site communal facilities, so buyers seeking those specific features would need to look elsewhere.
The build combines a Swiss developer's construction approach with architecture by Daniel Martín Ferrero, and the finishing package is organised around a formal partnership with Porcelanosa. Rather than choosing materials from catalogues, buyers attend private showroom consultations coordinated by the developer, available at Porcelanosa flagship locations in design capitals including Madrid, London, Zurich, Paris, Milan and New York. This allows tiles, kitchens, bathroom fittings and finishes to be inspected physically before ordering. Structurally, the design emphasises spatial quality over raw floor area. Double-height ceilings in the main living areas increase daylight penetration and air volume, and the bespoke kitchen integrates the floating staircase, which visually opens the ground floor. In flagship layouts, eight-metre sliding glass facades slide fully into concealed wall pockets, removing the barrier between lounge and terrace. The outdoor construction is specified to the same level: a 10x4 metre private pool, roughly 200 m² of terraces across three levels, and landscaped lawns on plateau plots that avoid steep inclines. Internally, the feature list includes a fully fitted kitchen open to the lounge, en-suite bathrooms, a basement, a storage room and a fireplace. Climate control and further technical specifications beyond the fireplace are not detailed in the available data, and the energy performance documentation should be requested from the developer before contract. Delivery is indicatively planned for the first quarter of 2027, and buyers should treat all finish schedules as subject to the construction timetable.
The asking price for this villa is fixed at €1,400,000. That figure covers a turnkey residence of 220 m² with four bedrooms, four bathrooms, a private pool and a plot of 848 m², delivered indicatively in the first quarter of 2027. Because the home is still under construction, buyers can still influence interior finishes: the developer arranges private consultations at Porcelanosa showrooms, where tiles, kitchens and bathrooms are selected in person. Costs for community fees, IBI and waste collection are not stated in the available data and should be confirmed with the seller. As with all off-plan purchases, the completion date remains indicative and may shift with the construction schedule.
Daily life around this villa combines a quiet residential street with unusually practical access to amenities. The supermarket and pharmacy lie within a few hundred metres, which means grocery runs and everyday errands do not depend on the car. The Complejo Deportivo Las Viñas sports centre is about 0.9 km away, and the municipality counts 34 sports facilities in total, giving residents structured options for exercise beyond the private pool. The villa itself is organised around indoor-outdoor living. The ground floor flows at one flat level from the lounge to a covered dining terrace, the pool and the lawn, a layout suited to year-round use as much as to summer months. Double-height ceilings in the core living areas bring in daylight, and in flagship layouts eight-metre sliding glass panels retract into concealed wall pockets, effectively merging interior and terrace during warm weather. The plot sits on an elevated plateau, which keeps the garden largely flat and usable, a practical point on a coastline where sloping plots are common. Mornings can start on the first-floor balcony of roughly 60 m², oriented south towards the sea, while the rooftop solarium of about 100 m² serves as a private upper lounge with panoramic views. Evenings work equally well poolside, with the covered ground-floor terrace providing shade and shelter. The surrounding neighbourhood of La Paloma is a settled residential area rather than a holiday-let zone, so the rhythm of the street stays relatively constant across seasons, supported by a permanent municipal population of around 18,000 people and everyday services including schools and a health centre.
La Paloma sits on the coastal side of Manilva, a municipality of around 18,000 inhabitants at the southwestern edge of the province of Málaga, bordering Cádiz. The immediate surroundings are urban with amenities on foot: the supermarket at roughly 315 metres and the pharmacy at about 159 metres handle daily needs, while the municipal area offers restaurants, a bank, a park and cafes within two kilometres. For families, the municipality counts three primary schools and one secondary school, plus a health centre for routine care; the nearest hospital is 6.2 km away as the crow flies. Accessibility works on two levels. Locally, six public transport lines and 36 stops reduce dependence on a car for short trips, and the area data describes a vehicle as convenient rather than essential. Regionally, the A-7 and AP-7 corridor connects the site to Estepona in one direction and Sotogrande and Gibraltar in the other. Gibraltar Airport lies about 26 km away in a straight line, a practical option for flights to the UK, while Malaga-Costa del Sol Airport is roughly 75 km away as the crow flies and handles the broader international schedule. Road distances to both will be longer than the straight-line figures suggest.
The map shows the villa's position in La Paloma, Manilva, with the coast to the south and the golf valley of Doña Julia immediately west. Beaches, the La Duquesa marina and the road corridor towards Estepona and Sotogrande are all marked, alongside everyday amenities within walking distance of the site.

Manilva occupies the southwesternmost corner of the province of Málaga, bordering Cádiz province and forming the gateway between the Costa del Sol Occidental and the Sotogrande, Cádiz coastline. Marbella lies about 36 km to the northeast as the crow flies and Estepona roughly 20 km along the coast, while Algeciras sits 32 km to the southwest and Málaga city 83 km to the east. This position gives the villa dual access: the established services and beaches of the western Costa del Sol on one side, and the marinas, golf and sailing infrastructure around Sotogrande and Gibraltar on the other.
The villa's position balances residential calm with coastal access. Playa de Manilva is 2.5 km away as the crow flies, La Duquesa 3.1 km and Playa de Casares 3.6 km, so a short drive or a reasonable cycle covers the beach options; actual road distances run longer than these straight-line figures. Puerto Deportivo de la Duquesa, at 2.5 km, adds a marina with dining and mooring activity, while Puerto de Sotogrande lies about 9.6 km away. Golf is a defining feature of the immediate area: Doña Julia is 2.2 km away, with Finca Cortesín Golf Club, a regular host of professional tournaments, at 3.3 km and Estepona Golf at 5.8 km. Daily services cluster close to home, with the supermarket at 315 metres, pharmacy at 159 metres and the Las Viñas sports complex at 0.9 km. Healthcare beyond the local health centre requires a 6.2 km trip to the hospital. Electric-vehicle drivers should note the nearest listed charging point is roughly 10 km away. Six bus lines and 36 stops provide a public transport backbone, and the airport options at Gibraltar (about 26 km) and Málaga (about 75 km) are both straight-line distances.

Manilva records an average annual temperature of 18.5 °C, consistent with the western Costa del Sol's mild winters and warm summers. The swimming season runs about five months with sea temperatures at or above 20 °C, which effectively extends usable outdoor living from late spring into early autumn, relevant given the villa's orientation around its pool and terraces. The site sits at approximately 79 metres above sea level on an elevated plateau, with a moderate gradient of roughly 3% down towards the coast. This elevation produces the sea views from the garden and solarium while keeping the plot itself largely flat, a combination that limits the stair-climbing and difficult garden access found on steeper coastal plots. The surrounding landscape transitions between residential Manilva, the greenbelt of the golf valleys and the open sea to the south, with the hills of the interior visible inland. Rainfall concentrates in the cooler months, leaving the April-to-October period predominantly dry and suited to the outdoor layout the villa is designed around.

The Manilva coast holds two Blue Flag beaches, La Gaviotas and Sabinillas, reflecting the water quality and services standard of the municipality's main swimming areas. La Duquesa, 2.6 km away as the crow flies, combines a sandy beach with the marina of the same name, where restaurants and waterfront walks anchor weekend routines. Further along the coast, Playa de la Chullera at 4.1 km offers a quieter, more natural stretch. Golf is the strongest recreational asset within easy reach. Doña Julia lies 2.2 km away, with its upper section at 2.4 km, and Finca Cortesín Golf Club at 3.3 km ranks among the most recognised courses in Andalusia. The Golf Academy Albayt Resort (5.0 km) provides practice facilities. For land-based sport, the Complejo Deportivo Las Viñas is 0.9 km from the villa, and the municipality counts 34 sports facilities overall. The two marinas within ten kilometres, La Duquesa and Sotogrande, cover sailing, paddle-surfing and boat trips, giving the area a leisure profile that extends well beyond the beach season.

Within Manilva itself, the most direct comparable is Nubay, a development with prices starting from €1,325,000. At a fixed €1,400,000 for a 220 m² detached villa on an 848 m² plot, this property sits slightly above that entry point, which is consistent with its positioning as an individually designed residence within a ten-villa enclave rather than a larger-phase urbanisation. The price per square metre of built space is roughly €6,360, though plot size and outdoor volume, a private pool, some 200 m² of terraces and a 100 m² solarium, form a substantial part of the value proposition here. Further east in Estepona, the comparable landscape shifts noticeably. Acqua Gardens starts from €524,600 and Aby Upper from €320,000, but those projects operate in a different segment: higher-density apartments and townhouses rather than detached villas with private pools. The comparison illustrates the pricing structure of the western Costa del Sol, where detached new-build villas command a clear premium over apartment product, and where boutique scale, ten units rather than hundreds, further separates the tiers. Locationally, Manilva offers a different proposition from central Estepona or Marbella. It sits closer to Gibraltar Airport (about 26 km as the crow flies) than to Málaga Airport (about 75 km), which matters for buyers who travel via the UK route. It also places residents within a short drive of Finca Cortesín and the Sotogrande marina, assets more often associated with the Cádiz-side luxury market. Median provincial income of €16,450 and roughly 1,351 housing transactions per year in the municipality indicate an active but not overheated local market, with the volume driven largely by the coastal apartment stock rather than the villa segment this development occupies. Buyers weighing this villa against alternatives should treat the fixed price, the 2027 delivery and the finish-selection process as the three variables that most distinguish it from ready-built resale stock in the same price band.
