Ground floor terrace with direct garden access and sea views

A 20 m2 terrace opens directly onto a small garden, giving this home step-free outdoor access and views to the sea. While the listing is categorised as a 2 bedroom ground floor apartment with beachfront in Manilva, the building actually sits in the hills at Resort Terrazas Costa del Sol, a five-minute drive from the beach. That distinction matters when comparing listings: you get elevated views across the water rather than sand outside the gate.

The 75 m2 built area and room layout

Inside, the 75 m2 built area is divided between a large living room with an integrated open-plan kitchen, two bedrooms and two bathrooms. Having the kitchen open to the main room keeps the space sociable and avoids losing square metres to hallways, though it also means cooking sounds and smells share the same volume as the sofa. Two bathrooms for two bedrooms mean guests do not need to walk through a sleeping area to use the shower, which makes a clear practical difference when two couples stay at the same time.

The terrace and what the community includes

Because the flat is on the ground floor, the 20 m2 terrace connects straight to the green space outside, extending how you use the exterior without stairs or railings in the way. The wider complex sits surrounded by mountains and includes a communal pool, parking and extensive grounds. From the shared areas, the outlook reaches across the sea to the Strait of Gibraltar and the African mountains. Outside the summer operating months from June to October, the complex has no commercial activity and remains very quiet.

How the management contract works

This 2 bedroom ground floor apartment with beachfront in Manilva in its listing category is an apartment currently managed by an operator. A buyer subrogates into the existing lease running until 31 October 2030, though the agent notes indicate the option to buy for private use or holiday use should be clarified against the binding lease terms. Under the current contract, the complex operates from June to October, and the owner can use the flat for 60 days a year outside that high season. During the lease, the operator covers community fees, electricity, water, and internet. When the contract expires in 2030, the owner can decide whether to renew for five or ten years or take another route.
