R5514685Ground Floor Apartment in Manilva176 m², 3 bed, 2 bath€ 495,000Apartments for sale in Manilva
Apartments for sale in Manilva carry the lowest median price per square metre of any municipality we count: 3,367 € across 68 comparable listings, against 3,876 € in Casares next door and 4,775 € in Estepona. The sea is the same, the beaches are wide and quiet, and the difference is roughly a third.
Where the apartments are
Three clusters, and they are genuinely different. San Luis de Sabinillas: schemes in and around a working town, with a promenade, a weekly market and shops open in February — this is where a flat makes sense as a permanent home. Puerto de la Duquesa: around the marina, with restaurants on the doorstep and a holiday rhythm. The hillsides west and inland: quieter again, with views and a car for everything.
What the stock is like
Mostly from the 1990s and 2000s, built when this end of the coast was the frontier of development. That means floor plans that are generous by current standards, communal gardens that have had twenty years to grow, and buildings that are now at the age where roofs, façades and pool plant come up for renewal. None of that is a reason to hesitate; it is a reason to read the community accounts before you sign.
Ground floor against middle floor
Ground floor apartments here run at 3,438 € per square metre and middle floor ones at 3,082 €. The gap is small but it points the usual way for flat coastal ground: the ground floor carries a garden, and the garden is what the market pays for.
What to check before you buy
Three things. The community accounts — quota, reserve fund and the minutes of the last two general meetings. How far the sea actually is, walked rather than measured. And the winter: this is the far end of the coast, and while Sabinillas stays open all year, some of the holiday schemes empty out. Visit in January before you commit to living here.

Answers about apartments in Manilva
Why are apartments for sale in Manilva the cheapest on this coast?
Because this is the western end of Málaga province — beyond it the coast becomes Cádiz. The median per square metre here is the lowest of any municipality we count, roughly a third below Estepona and clearly below Casares next door. Nothing about the beaches or the buildings explains it; what you are paying less for is the distance to everything that is not the sea. That is the whole case for apartments for sale in Manilva. See apartments in Casares for the next step up.
Where should I look inside the municipality?
Three clusters, genuinely different. San Luis de Sabinillas is a working town with a promenade, a market and shops open in February — the sensible choice for a permanent home. Puerto de la Duquesa is the marina, with restaurants on the doorstep and a holiday rhythm. The hillsides west and inland are quieter again, with views and a car for everything. The whole municipality sits together on property for sale in Manilva.
How old are the apartments for sale in Manilva?
Mostly from the 1990s and 2000s, built when this end of the coast was the frontier of development. That buys generous floor plans and communal gardens that have had twenty years to grow, and it brings buildings now at the age where roofs, façades and pool plant come up for renewal. Ask for the quota, the reserve fund and the minutes of the last two general meetings before you sign — on apartments for sale in Manilva of that vintage it is the single most useful document. Our agents on the ground will read it with you.
Are apartments for sale in Manilva a sensible place to live all year?
In Sabinillas, yes: apartments for sale in Manilva there sit in a town rather than an urbanisation, and it functions in February. In the holiday schemes it is a different question, because some of them empty out in winter. That is the one visit most buyers skip and the one that decides it: see the place in January as well as in August. The whole municipality, houses included, is on property for sale in Manilva.
What should I check before buying?
The community accounts. How far the sea actually is, walked rather than measured on a map. And which of the three clusters the property is in, because they behave differently in winter and on resale. Our agents on the ground will go through all three with you before you make an offer.

The lowest figure we publish
No municipality we count sits lower. For a buyer that is the entire argument for this end of the coast — and the cost is the drive to everything that is not the beach.
How to read the table
It splits the municipality by apartment type rather than by district, because the individual places here are too thin for a publishable median. Use it for the type premium, then the filters at the top of this page for the property itself.
| Type | Typical | Range | Listings |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ground Floor Apartment | 3,438 € | 3,088 – 4,537 € | 19 |
| Middle Floor Apartment | 3,082 € | 2,742 – 3,921 € | 27 |
Asking prices from our own active listings, not recorded sale prices; the range column shows where the middle half of the listings sit. Types with fewer than ten comparable listings are left out.
