Middle Floor Apartment in Manilva

You shut the lid of your laptop. The screen goes black, and your eyes immediately drift to the horizon — the Mediterranean Sea stretching out just beyond the glass. It is five o'clock, the day's tasks are finished, and your commute to the water is exactly zero minutes. This 82-square-metre, one-bedroom apartment proves that a home on the coast doesn't need to be huge to change the way you live.

Living without the clutter

The space is built around a bright, open-plan living and kitchen area that flows straight out to a 16-square-metre terrace. The sea views pull the outside in, making the room feel larger than its footprint. A single generous bedroom and a modern bathroom complete a layout designed for pure simplicity. You have everything you need, and nothing you don't. A designer kitchen and customisation options let you shape the interior to your exact taste.

The practical side

Secure underground parking means your car is always ready when you need it. But with an on-site co-working space, a gym, and both an indoor heated pool and an outdoor infinity pool, you might find yourself driving a lot less than you expect.

Life by the marina

Puerto de la Duquesa is one of the coast's most genuine marinas, sitting quietly in Manilva. You have the sand literally on your doorstep, with a wealth of local restaurants and cafés just a short walk away. The grounds even feature a preserved Roman museum, rooting the modern beachfront living in deep local history.

Who it is for

The solo professional, the couple looking for a smart winter base, or anyone wanting a lock-up-and-leave retreat by the sea. If you want a low-maintenance home where the location does all the heavy lifting, this is it.
