A fully refurbished semi-detached townhouse in Manilva, on the western Costa del Sol in the province of Málaga. The property offers 147 m² of living space with three bedrooms, two bathrooms and one guest toilet, plus over 108 m² of private outdoor areas with sea views. Situated in a front-line beach complex with two communal pools, the home is delivered turnkey and fully furnished. The asking price is fixed at €850,000. Nearby amenities include supermarkets, pharmacies and restaurants within walking distance, with La Duquesa marina approximately 2.5 km away as the crow flies.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The house stands in an urbanised coastal area of Manilva, roughly 2.5 km from Playa de Manilva as the crow flies. A supermarket lies 315 m away and a pharmacy 159 m, so daily shopping is done on foot. The hospital is 6.2 km away and Estepona centre is around a 15-minute drive. Puerto Deportivo de la Duquesa and the Doña Julia golf course are both within about 2.5 km.
The layout serves permanent or seasonal coastal living: a main floor with an island kitchen, living room and dining terrace, and an upper floor with a master suite, private terrace and sea-facing bath. Two further bedrooms and a guest toilet provide space for family or guests. Air conditioning, central heating and marble flooring are installed throughout.
This is an existing property, originally completed in 1999, which has been fully refurbished and is key-ready. Delivery is turnkey and fully furnished. The stated handover date is indicative; buyers should confirm exact timing with the seller before committing to a moving schedule.
The property has no private pool; swimming is possible in the two communal pools of the complex. Parking is on-street and private, not in a closed garage. The plot is limited to 100 m², so outdoor space consists mainly of terraces rather than a large garden. There is no private gym or spa within the property itself.
This property fits a buyer who wants to move in without managing a renovation. Because it is delivered turnkey and fully furnished, the transition to use, whether as a permanent residence, a second home or a rental asset, is short. It suits households that prioritise sea views and direct beach access over a large private plot; the 100 m² plot means outdoor living happens on terraces and at the communal pools rather than in an extensive garden. Buyers who need enclosed garage parking may find the street and private open parking arrangements a compromise worth weighing. The location works well for people who value walkable daily amenities: supermarket, pharmacy, café and restaurant within a short radius, plus a sports centre 0.9 km away. A car remains convenient for hospital visits (6.2 km), golf (2.2–4.7 km) and trips to Estepona or Sotogrande, but is not essential for every errand. The three-bedroom, three-bathroom configuration accommodates a family or a couple with regular guests. For investors, the combination of beachfront position, refurbishment status and proximity to La Duquesa marina is relevant to rental demand, though yields should be assessed independently. Buyers seeking a newly constructed building rather than a 1999 property that has been renovated should compare carefully with new-build alternatives in Manilva and Estepona.
The house has been completely refurbished and is delivered in turnkey condition, fully furnished with a Mediterranean interior design scheme. The materials listed include marble flooring throughout, a fully fitted kitchen with an island, and a bathroom finished to the refurbishment standard shown in the property documentation. Climate control is covered by both air conditioning and central heating, which allows year-round use rather than seasonal-only occupation. An alarm system is installed. The outdoor areas, a covered terrace, a private terrace and a private garden area, extend the usable living space by more than 108 m². The master suite includes a sea-facing bath and a private terrace with views over the Mediterranean. The property dates from 1999, so the underlying structure is of that period; the refurbishment covers interiors, kitchen, bathrooms, lighting and furniture. Buyers should request the full refurbishment report and warranties from the selling party, including documentation on installations such as plumbing, electrics and the heating system, to establish exactly which elements were renewed. No energy performance details are stated here and should be obtained separately. The complex itself provides two communal swimming pools located close to the beach. Internal stairs connect the floors, as visible in the interior photographs, which is relevant for buyers with reduced mobility. Overall, the specification is consistent with a completed, ready-to-occupy coastal home rather than a construction project.
The asking price is fixed at €850,000 for the property as a whole, this is an existing, refurbished home, not a new-build price list. The price reflects the key-ready condition, full furnishing and beachfront position within the complex. For context, new-build comparables in the area start lower: Martagina Hills in Manilva from €652,800, Villas Mora Sun and Beach in Manilva from €780,000, and Acqua Gardens in Estepona from €524,600. Those projects typically offer modern specifications but rarely a completed, furnished front-line beach home available for immediate handover. Availability should be confirmed directly, as delivery timing is indicative.
Daily life here revolves around proximity to the sea. The house sits in a front-line beach complex, with the Mediterranean a short walk away and two communal swimming pools close to the sand. The main floor is organised around an island kitchen, a living room and a dining terrace, which creates a natural flow between indoors and outdoors, practical for most of the year given an average annual temperature of 18.5°C. The upper floor contains the master suite with a private terrace and views towards the sea. Mornings can start on an east-facing terrace; the south orientation extends sun exposure across the day. Shopping is straightforward: a supermarket 315 m away and a pharmacy 159 m away mean errands do not require a car, although one is useful for wider trips. The nearest hospital is 6.2 km away. For recreation, the Sabinillas seafront promenade, La Duquesa marina and several golf courses sit within a short drive. Estepona centre is roughly a 15-minute drive by car. The urban setting with amenities at walking distance makes the location liveable year-round rather than purely seasonal, while retaining the quieter character of Manilva compared with Marbella or Málaga. With 147 m² of living area and more than 108 m² of private outdoor space, the house supports a mix of indoor comfort and open-air living typical of the Costa del Sol.
Manilva sits at the southwestern edge of the province of Málaga, on the border with Cádiz, and forms part of the Costa del Sol Occidental. The municipality has around 18,165 inhabitants (2025) and covers 35 km², giving it a noticeably lower density than Marbella or Málaga. The immediate setting is urban with amenities at walking distance: a supermarket at 315 m, a pharmacy at 159 m, and a café, restaurant, bank and park all within roughly 2 km. Education options include three primary schools and one secondary school, and there is a health centre in the municipality. The Complejo Deportivo Las Viñas sports centre is 0.9 km away. Public transport consists of 6 lines with 36 stops, so local travel without a car is feasible, though a vehicle remains practical for longer trips. The nearest beaches, Playa de Manilva (2.5 km) and La Duquesa (2.6–3.1 km depending on measurement point), are complemented by two Blue Flag beaches in the municipality. Marinas at La Duquesa (2.5 km) and Sotogrande (9.6 km) provide mooring, dining and leisure. The road network connects westwards towards Cádiz province and eastwards to Estepona, Marbella and Málaga.

Within the Costa del Sol Occidental, Manilva occupies the westernmost coastal position before the border with Cádiz province. It is smaller and quieter than Marbella (36 km straight-line) and considerably more compact than Málaga city (83 km). Algeciras lies 32 km to the west. The location places residents between the marina lifestyle of Sotogrande and the fuller urban offer of Estepona, roughly a 15-minute drive east. This positioning suits buyers who want coastal access with lower density than the central Costa del Sol.
Gibraltar Airport lies approximately 26 km away as the crow flies, making it the closest international airport; Málaga-Costa del Sol (AGP) is roughly 75 km in a straight line. All distances quoted are straight-line, so actual road distances are longer. Beach access is the property's defining feature: Playa de Manilva at 2.5 km and La Duquesa at 2.6 km are the nearest sandy stretches. Golfers can reach Doña Julia at 2.2–2.4 km, Finca Cortesín at 3.3 km and the Albayt Resort Golf Academy at 4.7 km. The hospital is 6.2 km away. For EV owners, the nearest charging point listed is 10 km distant, a detail worth noting for electric vehicle dependence. By car, Estepona centre is around a 15-minute drive, and the A-7/AP-7 corridor links the area to Marbella (36 km straight-line) and Málaga city (83 km straight-line). Parking at the property is via street parking and private open spaces, with more than one space available. Public transport (6 lines, 36 stops) supports car-free living for routine trips.

The climate data points to mild Mediterranean conditions: an average annual temperature of 18.5°C and a swimming season of roughly five months during which sea temperatures reach at least 20°C. The elevation is 79 m above sea level, and the gradient towards the beach is approximately 3.0%, moderate, meaning the walk to the shore involves a gentle slope rather than steep stairs, though the property description refers to around 20 steps to the beach from the complex. Rainfall figures are not specified here, but the regional pattern is dry summers and concentrated winter rainfall. With both air conditioning and central heating installed, the house is equipped for the warm months and the cooler winter periods. The coastal position moderates temperature extremes compared with inland Andalusia. Outdoor living on the terraces is realistic for much of the year, supported by the east and south orientations that capture morning and midday sun respectively.

Against the surrounding supply, this property occupies a specific niche: a completed, furnished, front-line beach home at a fixed price, versus off-plan or new-build alternatives sold from price lists. Within Manilva itself, Villas Mora Sun and Beach starts from €780,000 and Martagina Hills from €652,800. Eastwards in Estepona, Acqua Gardens starts from €524,600. Those projects generally offer newer construction and modern specifications, but typically further from the beach and with waiting periods until completion, dates that remain indicative. This townhouse, originally built in 1999 and now fully refurbished, trades that newness for immediacy and position: sea views, a complex with two pools near the sand, and roughly 108 m² of private outdoor space. At €850,000 for 147 m², the price per square metre of living area is above the new-build comparables in Manilva, which buyers should weigh against the beachfront premium and turnkey condition. Locationally, Manilva sits at the quieter, western end of the Costa del Sol Occidental. Marbella, 36 km away in a straight line, carries higher price levels and denser development; Estepona, about a 15-minute drive, offers a fuller town centre; Sotogrande, 9.6 km to the marina, adds premium golf and sailing infrastructure. The municipality records around 1,351 housing transactions per year, indicating an active but not overheated local market. For buyers comparing options, the relevant trade-off is between new-build specification at a lower entry price further inland, and an immediately usable seafront property at a higher total cost. Median provincial income of €16,450 provides general economic context but has limited bearing on this segment of the market.
