Top floor living with a tourist licence in Manilva

A 5 square metre terrace steps out from this 3 bedroom top floor apartment with private pool in Manilva, looking directly toward the site of a planned beach club project. Because this is a top floor home, there are no neighbours overhead. It comes to the resale market with a valid tourist licence already in place, alongside access to a garden, parking, and a large storage room.

The terrace and what the community includes

At five square metres, the private terrace is sized for a small bistro table and two chairs rather than large-scale outdoor dining or multiple sun loungers. For swimming and sunbathing, residents use the communal pool with sea and mountain views or the shared garden within the residential complex. Directly in front of the terrace, a major project featuring a beach club is planned, with details shown in the listing photographs. A buyer viewing this 3 bedroom top floor apartment with private pool in Manilva should check the exact boundaries and timeline of that project to understand how the construction and finished club will affect the outlook and daytime noise.

85 square metres of built area and a large storage room

Inside, the 85 square metres of built area divide into three bedrooms and two bathrooms. Fitting three bedrooms into this footprint means the sleeping quarters are compact, prioritising bed count over expansive floor space. What makes this layout practical in daily use is the large storage room included with the property. Holiday equipment, bicycles, suitcases, and beach gear do not need to occupy wardrobe space inside the flat. Having two bathrooms also prevents morning bottlenecks when all three bedrooms are occupied by family members or guests.

Rental rules and practicalities to verify

Because the flat holds a valid tourist licence, a buyer can let it on a short-term basis immediately, though recent rules in Andalusia mean you should confirm with the community administrator that the homeowners' association has no restrictions on holiday lets. For everyday errands, Lidl, Aldi, Mercadona, and Supercor are 10 minutes away by car, while the beach and a modern seaside promenade are a 2-minute drive from the complex. Sotogrande port is 10 minutes away, two main hospitals in Estepona take 20 minutes to reach, and Gibraltar Airport is 30 minutes away. The wider area holds golf courses, padel courts, gyms, a polo club, and a yacht club.
