Apartment for sale in La Duquesa / Puerto de la Duquesa, Manilva, Málaga

This is a spacious duplex ground-floor apartment in Jardines de Manilva, offering three bedrooms and three bathrooms across two well-proportioned levels, with a layout that gives it the feel of a townhouse rather than a typical apartment.

The main living level opens onto a private garden terrace, ideal for morning coffee or evening drinks without needing lifts or communal stairs. The terrace has glass curtains, turning it into a wonderful south-facing garden room in the winter.

Inside, the living and dining space is bright and generously sized, flowing through to a well-equipped kitchen. On this level there is a double bedroom and a full bathroom. Upstairs, the two double bedrooms are well separated for privacy, with an en-suite for the primary bedroom and a full family bathroom, making it a home that works well for a family or for regular guests, without anyone queuing for the shower.

Jardines de Manilva is a well-established, well-maintained gated community with mature gardens and communal pools, located in a quiet residential pocket of Manilva that’s close enough to the coast for the beach to be part of daily life, not just a weekend outing. The development lies at the bottom of a hill and is about a seven-minute walk to the beach and chiringuitos.

La Duquesa is an understated stretch of the western Costa del Sol, which is part of its appeal. Centred around La Duquesa Marina, with its line of restaurants, cafés and boats in the harbour, the area has a relaxed, low-key character. The beaches here are wide and genuinely uncrowded even in high season, and the walking and cycling path along the seafront connects you all the way to Sabinillas and beyond.

Golfers are well served too, with several courses within a short drive. Manilva town itself, just inland, still feels authentically Andalusian, while Sotogrande and Estepona are both easily reachable for a change of scene.
