This key-ready apartment is located in the Alborán Hills urbanisation in Punta Chullera, Manilva, on the western Costa del Sol. The property offers 72 m² of built area, including a 10 m² west-facing terrace, two bedrooms, and two full bathrooms. Situated on the second floor with lift access, it sits roughly 500 metres from the sea and about 0.6 km as the crow flies from Playa de la Chullera. The asking price of €235,000 is fixed and includes a parking space. The building dates from 2006 and the urbanisation provides a communal pool, padel court, gardens, and a children's playground. The apartment is sold fully furnished and is in good general condition.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
Punta Chullera lies on the coastal edge of Manilva, between Estepona and Sotogrande. The nearest beach, Playa de la Chullera, is 0.6 km away in a straight line, with La Duquesa beach at 2.6 km. Puerto Deportivo de la Duquesa marina is 2.9 km away and Puerto de Sotogrande 5.7 km. The area is residential and low-rise, with the A-7 coast road connecting to surrounding towns.
The apartment is arranged for practical coastal living: an open-plan kitchen integrated with the living-dining room, direct terrace access from the lounge, a master bedroom with ensuite bathroom, and a second bedroom suitable as a single room or office. Fitted wardrobes, air conditioning, ceiling fans, and WiFi are present. The covered terrace faces west, catching afternoon and evening sun.
This is an existing home, not a new-build project. Construction was completed in 2006 and the property is key-ready, meaning it can be occupied directly after purchase. It is offered fully furnished. Delivery dates for existing homes are not indicative; completion follows the standard Spanish purchase process, typically within several weeks of a signed contract.
The property is described in the data as being in both good and fair condition, which suggests some updating may be considered. The second bedroom is small. The terrace is 10 m² and the total living area of 72 m² includes it. Only two restaurants are recorded within 2 km, so daily shopping and dining out largely depend on a car. The pool listed is communal, not private.
This apartment fits several recognisable situations. A couple seeking a manageable second home near the sea will find the 72 m² layout, two bathrooms, and walkable beach access a practical combination, with low community fees keeping running costs modest. Buyers relocating permanently on a budget will note the fixed asking price of €235,000, the included parking space, and the presence of three primary schools and a health centre in the wider area, though school runs and appointments will involve driving. Remote workers can use the second bedroom as an office; the property has WiFi and air conditioning already installed. Investors should weigh the location's residential character: 1,351 housing transactions per year in the area indicate an active local market, and the proximity to both La Duquesa and Sotogrande marinas supports rental demand in season. The home is less suited to buyers wanting front-line sea views from the sofa, the views from this unit are towards the street and urbanisation, with sea views available in the wider setting, or those seeking a large terrace for extensive outdoor living. It is also not a match for anyone who wants to live car-free with shops and restaurants at the doorstep. Finally, buyers sensitive to interior condition should inspect the property personally, as the data lists both good and fair condition, which usually means some cosmetic updating is a reasonable expectation.
The building was completed in 2006, placing it in the modern Spanish construction era of steel-and-concrete frames, cavity brick facades, and aluminium or PVC double glazing as standard. The apartment is sold fully furnished, with wooden furniture visible in the bedrooms and ceiling fans in both the living room and a bedroom, complementing the installed air conditioning for climate control year-round. The American-style kitchen is integrated into the living-dining area, a layout typical of compact coastal apartments that prioritises open space over separated cooking. Storage is provided by fitted wardrobes in the bedrooms, reducing the need for additional furniture. The ensuite bathroom in the master bedroom, combined with a second full bathroom, is a practical configuration for guests and residents alike, and relatively generous for this size class. The 10 m² terrace is covered, which extends its usability outside the hottest hours and during the occasional winter shower. The block has a lift, and the unit's position on the second floor balances accessibility with a degree of elevation over the street. Condition is recorded as both good and fair, which in practice means the home is habitable and well kept in parts, while certain finishes, often kitchens and bathrooms of this vintage, may merit modernisation over time. Buyers should budget accordingly and assess this during a viewing rather than assume new-build standards throughout.
The asking price is a fixed €235,000 for the apartment as offered, including a parking space and full furnishing. Because this is an existing home rather than a new-build development, there is no price list or range of unit types. Recurring costs are documented: community fees of €62 per month and annual IBI (property tax) of €380. Comparable new-build projects elsewhere on the coast, such as Aquamar in Torre del Mar from €269,950 or Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona from €321,000, are offered at higher entry prices without furniture or parking included, which is relevant context when weighing this property against off-plan alternatives.
Daily life here follows a quiet residential rhythm. The urbanisation sits on flat ground at 5 metres above sea level, a short walk from the rocky coves of Playa de la Chullera. Mornings can start with a walk along the coastline, while the west-facing terrace makes the late afternoon the natural centre of the home, with sun into the evening during the warmer months. The swimming season lasts about five months, with sea temperatures at or above 20°C, and the average annual temperature of 18.5°C reflects the mild Mediterranean climate of this stretch of coast. The apartment itself is compact and functional: 72 m² including the terrace, an American-style kitchen open to the living-dining room, and two full bathrooms, one of them ensuite. This means the home works equally well for a couple, a small family using the second bedroom as a child's room, or an owner working remotely who needs the extra room as a study. The urbanisation adds shared amenities, communal pool, padel court, barbecue area, playground, and gardens, that extend the living space beyond the apartment itself. The setting is noticeably quieter than the central Costa del Sol resorts. With only two restaurants within 2 km, the immediate surroundings are residential rather than commercial, and most practical errands, from supermarkets to healthcare, involve a short drive towards La Duquesa, Sabinillas, or Sotogrande. Public transport exists, with eight lines and thirty stops in the wider area, but a car remains the practical choice for daily life.
The immediate environment is a quiet residential urbanisation with landscaped gardens and communal facilities. Amenities within 2 km are limited to two restaurants, which defines the character of the area: peaceful, low-density, and oriented towards the coast rather than commerce. Practical facilities sit slightly further afield. Puerto Deportivo de la Duquesa, 2.9 km away as the crow flies, is the closest full-service marina with its chiringuitos, shops, and the adjacent La Duquesa beach at 2.6 km. Education and healthcare in the area include three primary schools, one secondary school, and a health centre, covering basic family needs without long journeys. Public transport is available, eight lines and thirty stops serve the district, giving a car-free option for selected routes, though frequencies on this stretch of coast are modest and most residents drive. The flat terrain, with a gradient of just 0.2% to the beach, makes walking and cycling to the shore realistic. Sotogrande's marina at 5.7 km adds a more upscale layer of dining and leisure within a ten-minute drive.
The map shows the apartment's position in Alborán Hills, Punta Chullera, on Manilva's coastal fringe. Note the short distance to Playa de la Chullera, the marinas of La Duquesa and Sotogrande, and the cluster of golf courses to the north-east. All distances shown are straight-line measurements.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Punta Chullera occupies the far western edge of Manilva municipality, close to the border with Cádiz province and Sotogrande. This positions the property at the quieter, more residential end of the Costa del Sol, roughly equidistant in character between Estepona's growing resort scene and Sotogrande's established estates. Marbella lies 38 km east and Málaga 86 km, while Algeciras and Gibraltar are 28 km and 22 km to the west respectively. The location suits buyers who prefer calm surroundings with golf and marina amenities nearby, rather than the higher-density tourism of the central coast.
Distances in this section are straight-line, and road distances may be longer. The nearest beach, Playa de la Chullera, lies 0.6 km away on flat terrain. Gibraltar Airport is approximately 22 km away and Malaga-Costa del Sol Airport roughly 76 km, giving access to two different flight networks, Gibraltar's UK-focused routes and Málaga's extensive European connections. Alicante-Elche, at 467 km, is not a practical option. Larger towns in the region include Algeciras at 28 km, Marbella at 38 km, and Málaga at 86 km, the latter two reachable via the A-7 and AP-7 coastal corridors. Golfers have three courses within reach: Doña Julia at 5.7 km, Real Club de Golf de Sotogrande at 7.3 km, and Club de Golf La Cañada at 7.6 km. An IONITY fast-charging station for electric vehicles operates at Sotogrande, 8.1 km away. A car is the practical baseline for daily life here.

Punta Chullera sits at 5 metres above sea level on an almost entirely flat coastal shelf, the gradient to the beach measures 0.2%, so there are no hills between the apartment and the shore. The climate is classic western Costa del Sol Mediterranean: an average annual temperature of 18.5°C, mild winters, and warm summers moderated by sea proximity. The swimming season runs about five months, during which sea temperatures stay at or above 20°C, roughly May through September. For residents, this means outdoor living is realistic for most of the year, and the west-facing terrace captures afternoon and evening sun, particularly pleasant in spring and autumn when midday heat is gentler. The coastline here is a mix of sandy stretches and rocky coves, with the Chullera watchtower area offering scenic walking ground directly from the urbanisation. Rainfall concentrates in the winter months, keeping the summer dry and sunny.

The closest beach, Playa de la Chullera, is 0.6 km away as the crow flies, a walk of a few minutes on flat ground. It is a quieter, semi-natural stretch of coast known for its clear water and rocky formations rather than dense services. La Duquesa beach, 2.6 km away, offers a more conventional resort experience with facilities and beach bars near the marina. Recreation in the area extends beyond the sand: three golf courses lie within 8 km, including the historic Real Club de Golf de Sotogrande, one of the most regarded courses on the coast. The two marinas, La Duquesa and Sotogrande, provide dining, strolls, and water-based activities. Within the urbanisation itself, residents have a communal pool, a children's pool, a padel court, a barbecue area, and a playground, which together cover much of a family's day-to-day leisure without leaving the complex.

At a fixed €235,000 for 72 m² with parking and furniture included, this apartment undercuts the entry prices of comparable new-build projects along the coast. Aquamar in Torre del Mar, on the eastern Costa del Sol, starts at €269,950; Lantana Residencial in Mijas begins at €205,000 but in a different location and specification; Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona opens at €321,000. New-build pricing on the Costa del Sol has risen steadily in recent years, which makes 2006-vintage resale stock in the €230,000–€250,000 band a distinct segment: buyers trade contemporary finishes and developer warranties for lower entry cost, immediate availability, and, in this case, inclusions such as a parking space and full furnishing that new builds typically price separately. Location also differs meaningfully. Torre del Mar and Mijas sit on the busier central and eastern coast, closer to Málaga airport and the dense amenity belt of the Axarquía and Fuengirola. Estepona has developed into a higher-profile resort town with correspondingly higher pricing. Punta Chullera, by contrast, belongs to the quieter western stretch around Manilva and Sotogrande, where the offer centres on golf, marinas, and low-density residential tourism rather than high-season nightlife. For buyers whose priority is a calm base near both the sea and courses such as Real Club de Golf de Sotogrande, this west-coast position is a genuine alternative to the central Costa del Sol, with Gibraltar's airport 22 km away adding a second travel option. The trade-off is service density: restaurants, shopping, and cultural amenities require a drive, whereas central-coast locations deliver them on foot. Whether that trade favours this apartment depends entirely on the buyer's rhythm, quiet residential coast with the car as companion, versus walkable resort town at a higher price per square metre.
