R5510602Penthouse in Manilva114 m², 2 bed, 2 bath€ 305,000Beachfront properties for sale in Manilva
Manilva is the last municipality before the province of Cádiz, and it carries more coast than any of its neighbours relative to its size — roughly eight kilometres, from the Casares border through Sabinillas and the Duquesa marina to Punta Chullera. It also carries the lowest prices per square metre we list anywhere: apartments across the municipality sit at 3,367 € and houses at 3,640 €, against 4,775 € and 4,454 € in Estepona. The beachfront properties for sale in Manilva start at about 205,000 euros.
Three stretches, and they are not alike
San Luis de Sabinillas
The working coastal town: a long promenade, a weekly market, shops and bars that stay open in February. Most of the first-line apartments and townhouses here are from the eighties and nineties, and they are the reason the entry prices on this page are what they are.
Puerto de la Duquesa
The marina, with restaurants around the basin and a tighter, more resort-like feel. First-line stock here is scarcer and asks more; it is also the part of the municipality that holds its value best in a slow market.
La Chullera and Punta Chullera
The last headland before Cádiz, looking across to Gibraltar and Africa. Low density, a handful of villas and plots, and the occasional piece of first-line land — which is why the top of the range on this page is a plot and not a house.
What is actually available
Around sixteen properties carry the beachfront category at any time, and the mix is unusual: townhouses and middle floor apartments in roughly equal number, a couple of ground floors with gardens, one or two villas, and sometimes a plot. Some of the apartments are new build; most of what you will see is resale. The spread is enormous because a 205,000-euro flat in Sabinillas and an 8.5-million-euro first-line plot at Chullera are both, correctly, beachfront.
Salt, and what it costs
Sea air attacks metalwork, glazing, air conditioning and render faster than anywhere inland, and on buildings of this age it has already had thirty years to work. Ask what the last façade works cost, when they were done and what the reserve fund holds. A community that maintains itself properly costs more every month and far less every decade.
The coastal law
Spanish law defines a public domain and a protection zone inland of the high-water mark. For most listed properties this is settled history, but on a coast with this much first line a few buildings sit under a concession rather than freehold — a distinction a lawyer must establish before you buy, and one that matters more here than further east.
Where to go from here
Everything in the municipality is on property for sale in Manilva; by type, see apartments in Manilva, houses in Manilva and villas in Manilva. Golf frontage instead of sea frontage is under golf property in Manilva. The same category east of here is beachfront in Casares and beachfront in Estepona. If nothing in the list above fits yet, our property alarm will mail you when something does.
Answers about beachfront property in Manilva
What do beachfront properties for sale in Manilva cost?
From 205,000 euros for a flat at Sabinillas to 8,500,000 for a first-line plot at Chullera, with the middle of the 16 listings at 600,000. Per square metre, the municipality is the cheapest we list — the figures on this page are recounted with every feed run and sit below Casares and well below Estepona. Use the filters at the top of this page to narrow the range to your own budget.
Where exactly is the beachfront in Manilva?
Along roughly eight kilometres between the Casares border and the province of Cádiz: San Luis de Sabinillas with its promenade, the marina at Puerto de la Duquesa, and the low-density headland at La Chullera looking towards Gibraltar. The village of Manilva itself sits inland and uphill, so nothing there is first line however a listing is worded. All the beachfront properties for sale in Manilva are in the single list above; the whole municipality is on property for sale in Manilva.
Sabinillas or Duquesa — which should I choose?
Sabinillas is a town that works in winter: shops, a market, bars that stay open in February, and the lowest first-line prices in the municipality. Duquesa is a marina, tighter and more resort-like, scarcer on the first line and dearer, and it holds value better when the market slows. Both appear among the beachfront properties for sale in Manilva above, and the honest answer is to spend an evening in each in January. The stock behind the first line is under apartments in Manilva.
Is there land among the beachfront properties for sale in Manilva?
Occasionally, and that is unusual among beachfront properties for sale in Manilva — the plots at the Chullera end are why the top of the range on this page is land rather than a house. They come with the full set of questions: the coastal protection zone, the municipal planning status, and what a licence will actually permit. Current plots and land in the municipality are under plots in Manilva, and our agents on the ground will check the planning file before you commit.
What should I check before buying beachfront properties for sale in Manilva?
Whether the title is freehold or a coastal concession, which a lawyer establishes and which is not a formality here. What the last façade and pool works cost and what the reserve fund holds, because on buildings of this age salt has already had thirty years to work and a thin reserve means a special levy is coming. And the season: at this end of the coast the gap between January and August is larger than it is in Marbella, so visit in both before you decide. Our agents on the ground will pull the community accounts and the register entry before you offer.

The table beside is counted fresh each morning from our Manilva apartment listings — most of the first-line stock is apartments and townhouses, so this is the closest honest reference.
Budget
Add 10 to 13 per cent for transfer tax, notary, registry and legal fees. On a 350,000-euro apartment that is 35,000 to 45,500 euros.
Read the premium as sitting above the table
These are asking prices across all apartments in the municipality, not only those on the sand. The first line commands more than the figures shown — and unlike the stock behind it, nobody can build more of it.
The lowest base on this coast
Manilva sits below Casares, which sits below Estepona. That is the whole proposition of this end of the coast, and it is the reason a first-line townhouse here costs what a second-line flat costs twenty-five minutes east.
