Sea views and a manageable footprint in Sabinillas

A 12 m² terrace facing the Mediterranean gives this home its main vantage point, catching the morning sun and looking out to sea. This 2 bedroom penthouse in Residencial Duquesa, Manilva sits within Phase 1 of the complex in San Luis de Sabinillas, combining 85 m² of built area with shared sports and leisure grounds.

The terrace and the communal grounds

At twelve square metres, the outdoor space is sized for a dining table and a pair of loungers rather than sprawling furniture, which keeps maintenance low for a lock-up-and-leave owner. Because it faces the sea and catches the sunrise, the terrace gets its brightest light in the morning and leaves the afternoon cooler. Downstairs, the Phase 1 community shares saltwater swimming pools and tropical gardens, alongside private padel courts inside the grounds. The development operates with 24-hour security and surveillance, a practical detail for owners who leave the property empty between visits.

Inside the 85 m² built area

An open-plan living and dining room connects directly to the terrace, bringing natural light straight into the middle of the flat. Both bedrooms face outwards rather than into an internal light well, which means natural daylight and direct ventilation in the sleeping quarters, and both include fitted wardrobes. Having two full bathrooms for two bedrooms means guests do not need to share an en-suite or cross through a bedroom at night. A buyer viewing this 2 bedroom penthouse in Residencial Duquesa, Manilva should check the kitchen footprint and storage capacity within the 85 m² built total, though the inclusion of a private storage room and an underground parking space in the same building takes care of suitcases, beach gear and bicycles.

Getting to the beach and Puerto de la Duquesa on foot

Being in San Luis de Sabinillas puts daily errands within walking distance, removing the need to drive for bread or groceries. Supermarkets, shops, schools and restaurants are reachable on foot from the gates of the complex. The seafront promenade and the beach are also a short walk away, as is the marina at Puerto de la Duquesa. Having underground parking matters in Sabinillas during July and August when street spaces near the beach fill up early, allowing you to leave the car below the building and cover the area on foot.
