Book a free consultationThe Manilva market
Just west of Estepona, Manilva has one of the highest proportions of foreign residents in Spain. Its appeal is clear: marina living at Puerto de la Duquesa, long beaches and apartments in San Luis de Sabinillas, and the traditional white village of Manilva above the coast — all at better value than Marbella.
From marina and beachfront apartments to country properties, each type brings its own legal checks. We confirm community fees, licences, build legality and the tax position before you commit.
