The town of Manilva is a hidden jewel and often overlooked. Its landscape mainly consists of small hills separated by picturesque creeks forming pine tree valleys. The coastline combines beautiful coastal cliffs with sandy beaches of extraordinary quality such as El Negro, La Duquesa, La Chullera, and Los Toros. If you are looking to immerse yourself in the Spanish lifestyle, then it’s a perfect choice. You can purchase a little more for your money in Manilva than in Marbella or Sotogrande.

La Duquesa

La Duquesa has an international feel with a modern marina. It can be split into two zones, Puerto de la Duquesa which is beachside and La Duquesa Golf which is mountainside. Duquesa marina provides all kind of restaurants and international cuisine. One can sit in the Marina all day, take in the sun, and admire the boats as they come and go. The surrounding hills are made up of gated urbanizations of either apartments, townhouses, or villas which all have facilities such as communal pools, gardens.

So whether you are looking for a property with golf views or a villa with a private pool, La Duquesa has it all. If you are looking for a holiday home check out the new off plan development Blue Sunset, or for a house, urbanizations like La Vizcaronda and MarVillas are great developments.

El Castillo

El Castillo is nestled next to La Duquesa, yet the contrast between them is enormous. It is a small fishing settlement, distinguished for its fresh fish, traditional bungalows, and some lovely beach bays. If you want to be within walking distance of the town and the beach, check urbanizations like Viñedos del Mar, Villa Moras, and Don Amaro.

Past El Castillo there are lovely coastal areas. Along the coastline and the mountainside lie little complex of apartments, houses, and villas. If you prefer the mountainside, properties like Pure South Residences offers stunning sea views. On the beachside, you can find properties close to amenities such as Amphora or Vasari Village.
