Top-floor living by the dunes with a tourist licence in place
The beach and a mini market sit at the end of the road, and the Port of La Duquesa is within walking distance for bars and restaurants. This resale 2 bedroom penthouse with garden in Manilva stands on the front line, looking directly over the coastline and the mountains from the moment the front door opens. A lift brings residents directly to the top floor.
How the 77 square metres are arranged
The 77 m2 built area centres on an open-plan room where an American-style fitted kitchen with a breakfast bar faces the living area and the sea views. The main bedroom has a Juliette balcony, while the second bedroom has enough floor area for beds and a desk. For bathing, there is one full bathroom fitted with a bath, shower over, vanity unit, bidet and toilet. The layout also includes a separate guest cloakroom that houses the washing machine, which has enough room to be converted into a second shower room if a buyer wants two full bathrooms.
The terraces and communal grounds
Outdoor space is split across two areas, totalling 9 m2 of terrace. One terrace opens off the main living room, while the second is reached directly from the guest bedroom and currently holds a tall table and chairs. Downstairs, the gated community includes a swimming pool set in grassed gardens that share the same sea and mountain outlook. Outside parking is plentiful and includes spaces for guests.
What the existing tourist licence means
This property holds a valid tourist licence that complies with current regulations. With Manilva currently not accepting new tourist licence applications for three years, having the licence already in place is an advantage for holiday rentals.
Walks, supermarkets and driving times
Beyond the mini market and local restaurant at the end of the street, larger food shops including Dia, Eroski, Aldi and Lidl are close by. The beach at the end of the road is part of a protected natural area with sand dunes, boardwalks and two chiringuitos with sunbeds. By car, Sotogrande is around 10 minutes west for golf, Gibraltar takes about 25 minutes, and Estepona is to the east, with Puerto Banus and Marbella roughly 30 minutes away.
Can this 2 bedroom penthouse with garden in Manilva be rented out to holidaymakers legally?
Yes, the apartment already holds a tourist licence that complies with the latest regulations. This is a significant detail because Manilva has paused applications for new tourist licences for a three-year period.
What is the bathroom arrangement inside the property?
There is one full bathroom equipped with a bath, shower over, vanity unit, bidet and toilet. In addition, there is a guest half-bathroom containing the washing machine, which could be adapted to include a shower.
How is the outdoor space divided?
The property has 9 square metres of private terrace space split between a main terrace off the living room and a smaller terrace off the guest bedroom, plus a Juliette balcony in the main bedroom. Residents also share a communal lawned garden and swimming pool.
Is it necessary to drive to the beach or shops from here?
No, both a mini market and a protected sandy beach with dune walkways and two beach bars are at the end of the road. The bars and restaurants of La Duquesa Port are also within walking distance.
What are the parking and access arrangements at the building?
The building has a lift that goes up to the top floor. Parking is located outside within the gated community, with spaces available for both residents and guests.
2 Bedroom Penthouse with Garden in Manilva
Property Description
Stunning panoramic-view penthouse with tourist licence in place near the beach and La Duquesa Port
This top-floor penthouse on the front line offers some of the most far-reaching uninterrupted panoramic views on the coast, with the coastline and mountain range stretching out in front of you from the moment you step inside. It is also a rare opportunity for buyers who want flexibility as the property has a tourist licence already in place and is compliant with the latest regulations. With Manilva currently not accepting new tourist licence applications for the next three years, this is a valuable advantage for anyone considering holiday rentals now or in the future.
The location is equally special. The beach is at the end of the road, set within a protected natural area with sandy shores and natural walkways winding through the dunes. Two chiringuitos with sunbeds make beach days effortless, and you can enjoy an easy walk into the Port of La Duquesa for a great choice of bars and restaurants.
For days out and exploring, you are perfectly positioned. Sotogrande is around 10 minutes to the west, Gibraltar is approximately 25 minutes away, and to the east you have Estepona, including its popular Sunday market at the port. Puerto Banus and Marbella are about 30 minutes by car, offering luxury dining, nightlife, and designer shopping.
Daily convenience is also covered, with a mini market at the end of the road, a local restaurant nearby, and plenty of dining options in the surrounding area. You also have Dia and Eroski close by, plus Aldi, Lidl, and more within easy reach. Golf lovers are spoilt for choice, with excellent courses locally in La Duquesa and the premium selection in Sotogrande.
The building has lift access to the top floor, and there is parking outside. Inside, the apartment is bright and welcoming, with an open-plan living space designed to make the most of the view. The American-style fully fitted kitchen includes a breakfast bar for relaxed dining, and the living area flows out to a generous terrace ideal for dining, lounging, or both, all with those spectacular coastal vistas as your backdrop.
The master bedroom is a comfortable size and features a Juliette balcony with beautiful views. The main bathroom includes a bath with shower over, vanity unit, bidet, and toilet. The guest bedroom is also well-proportioned, with space for beds and a work area, plus direct access to a second terrace with a tall table and chairs, perfect for morning coffee or sunset drinks while taking in the scenery. A guest half bathroom and washing machine complete the layout. For a small investment it is possible to make a showerroom giving you 2 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms.
The community is very well run and is a gated community with a lovely swimming pool surrounded by grass with spectacular sea and moutnain views. Parking is plentiful along with guest parking.
A rare combination of dramatic views, protected beachfront nature, and easy access to ports, golf, and some of the Costa del Sol’s most popular destinations. Ideal as a lock-up-and-leave holiday home, a full-time base, or an excellent rental investment with the tourist licence already secured.
