About this property

Overview

Amphora Beach Fase III is a new development of 2 to 3-bedroom ground floor apartments for sale in Manilva, Costa del Sol, priced from €320,000 to €640,000. The project occupies a 14,000 square metre site positioned directly beside the Mediterranean coastline, which places it among the more affordable beachfront schemes on the western stretch of the Costa del Sol. Ground floor configuration means private access to communal gardens without the service charge premiums typically attached to penthouses or duplex units. Manilva has historically attracted buyers seeking coastal access at a discount to Estepona or Sotogrande prices, and this development continues that pattern.

Built sizes range from 95 to 136 square metres across the two and three-bedroom layouts. All units include two bathrooms. The supplier description confirms sea views from the apartments, communal gardens, and a swimming pool within the complex. Parking availability has not been confirmed in the project data, so buyers should verify whether spaces are included, optional, or available nearby. The ground floor typology suggests either garden-level terraces or direct access to the landscaped areas, though specific terrace dimensions are not provided. The development forms part of a phased release, indicating an established project with earlier phases already delivered or under construction.

Manilva sits on the coastal road between Estepona and Gibraltar, approximately 15 minutes by car from Puerto de la Duquesa marina. The town attracts a mix of Northern European retirees and second-home buyers who prioritise beach proximity over nightlife or commercial density. The area is quieter than Marbella or Puerto Banús, with fewer international schools and corporate infrastructure, which suits buyers planning permanent relocation rather than families requiring bilingual education. The stretch of coast here is less developed than the central Costa del Sol corridor, with longer gaps between residential clusters and more agricultural land inland. Road access involves the A-7 coastal route, which can slow significantly during summer weekends.

This is Phase III of an ongoing project, suggesting earlier phases are complete or nearing completion. Buyers should confirm construction timelines and whether units are available off-plan or ready for immediate occupation. Standard Spanish new build payment structures apply: a reservation deposit secures the unit, followed by stage payments tied to construction milestones, with the balance due on completion and key handover. All amounts and schedules must be confirmed directly with the developer. Independent legal representation is recommended to review contracts, verify planning permissions, and conduct due diligence on the developer's financial standing. Ground floor apartments in beachfront complexes typically command strong rental yields during peak season, but buyers should assess whether communal garden access compensates for the lack of private outdoor space at this price point.

Amphora Beach Fase III: Frequently Asked Questions

The price covers the apartment itself, your private garage, and access to either a private garden or communal pool depending on your unit. Amphora Beach Fase III ground floor apartments range from €320,000 for a 2-bedroom up to €640,000 for a 3-bedroom, and all units come fully finished and ready to move into.

Amphora Beach Fase III is in Manilva on the Costa del Sol, a coastal town in western Málaga province with direct beach access and proximity to Gibraltar and Estepona. The location offers a quieter alternative to busier resort areas while maintaining excellent connections to restaurants, shops, and golf courses in the surrounding region.

Amphora Beach Fase III offers 2-bedroom units from 95 m² and 3-bedroom units up to 136 m², all on the ground floor. The larger 3-bedroom apartments at €640,000 give you more living space and typically include more outdoor area through your private garden.

Yes, all units at Amphora Beach Fase III feature sea views with a south-facing orientation, which means you get natural light and views throughout the day. The combination of ground floor positioning and south-facing aspect makes these apartments particularly bright and connected to the Mediterranean.

Amphora Beach Fase III is expected to be completed in April 2027, giving you time to plan your move and arrange financing. The developer LOMA BLANCA has structured the project to deliver finished, move-in-ready homes by that date.

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.
