About this property

Overview

Amphora Beach Fase III delivers apartments 456 metres from the shore in Manilva, a six-minute walk to Playa de la Chullera. Built sizes run from 95 to 136 square metres, with two or three bedrooms and two bathrooms. Terraces range from 14 to 74 square metres, so the smallest are private balconies and the largest are outdoor rooms. The bigger layouts suit families who eat outside most of the year, the compact ones work for couples who want sea access without paying for space they will not use. Some apartments face the sea, others look onto the communal pool and gardens. The complex sits on the coast side of the AP-7, with the beach a two-minute drive or short walk.

The setting is quiet residential Manilva rather than a resort town. Estepona, 20 minutes by car, has the nearest concentration of shops, restaurants and services. Puerto Deportivo de la Duquesa marina is six minutes away. Real Club de Golf de Sotogrande is 14 minutes by car, and Gibraltar Airport is 33 minutes, useful if you fly in regularly. Daily shopping means a car, though Colegio de Educación Infantil y Primaria San Luis de Sabinillas is a five-minute drive for families with young children. The trade-off is straightforward: you are very close to the beach and you live outside the busier coastal centres, so trips for anything beyond basics take time.

The complex covers more than 14,000 square metres of communal gardens. Every apartment includes parking or a garage. This suits buyers who want the sea on the doorstep and accept that everything else requires a car. It does not suit anyone who wants to walk to a supermarket, a pharmacy or a choice of restaurants. The Manilva coastline is low-key. If you want that, this is well placed. If you want activity around you, look closer to Estepona or Marbella.

Amphora Beach Fase III: Frequently Asked Questions

Playa de la Chullera is 456 metres away, a six-minute walk. The complex sits on the coast side of the AP-7, so there is no major road to cross. The beach is also a two-minute drive if you prefer not to walk back uphill in summer heat.

Built areas run from 95 to 136 square metres, with two or three bedrooms and two bathrooms throughout. Terraces vary much more widely, from 14 to 74 square metres. The smallest terraces are balconies, the largest are big enough to furnish as outdoor living rooms.

The beach is the only amenity within comfortable walking distance. Manilva is a residential coast settlement, not a town centre. Supermarkets are 1.9 kilometres away, restaurants and medical facilities further still, so a car is necessary for everything except the sea.

Orientations include north east, east and south west. Some apartments face the sea, others overlook the communal pool and gardens. The facts do not specify which bedrooms get which orientation, so confirm the aspect of any individual apartment before you commit.

Gibraltar Airport is 22 kilometres away, a 33-minute drive. That makes frequent trips practical if you use the property as a second home or let it to short-stay guests. Málaga Airport is the alternative, roughly 90 minutes by car depending on traffic through Marbella.

Buying off-plan in Manilva means reserving a property before or during construction. You pay a reservation deposit (typically €6,000 to €12,000), then sign a private purchase contract within 30 days and pay a further 10 to 20% of the purchase price. Staged payments follow the construction milestones. The final 60 to 70% is paid at notary completion when the keys are handed over.

Under Spanish law (Law 57/1968 and its 2015 successor), all off-plan deposits must be covered by a bank guarantee or insurance policy. Your lawyer must verify this before you pay any money. If the developer fails to deliver, you can claim 100% of your deposit plus 6% annual interest. Never transfer funds without a confirmed guarantee in your name.

Spanish law mandates three tiers: a 10-year structural guarantee (Seguro Decenal) for serious structural defects, a 3-year guarantee for habitability issues (waterproofing, insulation, installations), and a 1-year guarantee on finishes and fixtures. These run from the date the licence of first occupation (licencia de primera ocupación) is issued.

New-build purchases are subject to 10% IVA (VAT) on the purchase price, plus 1.2% AJD (stamp duty) in Andalucía. Parking spaces or storage sold separately may attract 21% IVA. Add notary, land registry and legal fees (1 to 2%), budget 12 to 15% on top of the purchase price in total acquisition costs.

Most developers allow personalisation during the early construction phase, choices of floor tiles, kitchen units, bathroom fixtures, paint colours and sometimes layout tweaks. The window for changes is typically 3 to 6 months after signing the contract. Structural changes are rarely possible once work has started. Your sales representative will provide a customisation deadline and specification sheet.

Typical build time in coastal Spain is 18 to 30 months from licence grant to completion. Delays of 3 to 6 months are common due to weather, supply-chain or permit issues. Your contract should specify a longstop completion date and the compensation you are owed for any overrun. Always check whether the building licence has already been granted before reserving.

Key due-diligence points: (1) confirm the building licence is granted, not just applied for; (2) verify all deposits are bank-guaranteed in your name; (3) check the developer's track record and financial standing; (4) review the specification sheet and what is included in the price; (5) confirm the estimated completion date and longstop clause; (6) have an independent Spanish lawyer review the contract before you sign anything.

Yes, both are required before the final notary signing. You can reserve with a passport, but your Spanish NIE (foreigner tax number) is needed for the private purchase contract and your Spanish bank account for the staged transfers. Your lawyer can obtain your NIE with a power of attorney in 2 to 4 weeks. Open the bank account on your first trip to Spain or remotely via certain Spanish banks.

Yes. Spanish banks lend to non-residents at typical LTVs of 60 to 70% of the lower of purchase price or valuation (vs 80% for residents). Rates are competitive with the rest of the eurozone. You will need 6 months of bank statements, tax returns and proof of income, pre-approval takes 2 to 4 weeks.

Recommended for serious buyers. A mortgage in principle confirms your budget, signals credibility to sellers and shortens completion. We can introduce you to specialist non-resident mortgage brokers familiar with the local market.

Resale property in Andalucía: ITP (transfer tax) at 7%. New-build: 10% IVA + 1.2% AJD (stamp duty). Plus notary, land registry and legal fees of roughly 1 to 2%. Budget 10 to 13% on top of the asking price for total acquisition costs.

Annual IBI (council tax) is typically 0.4 to 1.1% of cadastral value. Community fees on apartments and gated villas range €100 to €600/month depending on amenities. Non-resident owners pay an annual income tax based on cadastral value, plus utilities and home insurance.

In Spain the seller pays the agent commission (typically 3 to 6% + VAT), already baked into the asking price. Buyers do not pay agent fees on resale or new-build.
