About this property

Overview

Blue Wave is a collection of three-bedroom villas in Manilva, each measuring between 110 and 133 square metres inside with terraces that vary dramatically in size. At the smaller end you have 19 square metres, enough for a table and chairs. At the larger end, 160 square metres gives you space for several outdoor zones and connects to a private garden. The layouts include two or three bathrooms depending on the unit. All homes come with a parking space or garage. You can choose between a communal pool or a private one on your plot, and the complex includes a spa and gym for residents.

The development sits between the AP-7 motorway and the sea, putting the beach 14 minutes away on foot. This is close enough to walk down regularly but far enough to avoid the density of central resorts. Eroski supermarket is 10 minutes by car, Gibraltar Airport 32 minutes, and the golf courses around Sotogrande are within a quarter of an hour. The setting suits buyers who want a quieter stretch of coastline with sea views and easy beach access, particularly families and golfers who value proximity to Sotogrande without paying Sotogrande prices.

The terraces face south-east or south-west, so most units will get strong sun for much of the day. The hillside position means sea views are a feature across the development, often with a wide panoramic sweep. The downside is that you are next to a motorway. Road noise will reach some of the homes, especially those on the inland side, and this is worth checking during a viewing. The location also means you will drive for most errands beyond the nearest shop.

Location

Manilva

Location shown is the development site. This development is in ManilvaCosta del Sol.

Blue Wave sits on the sea side of the AP-7, between the motorway and the Mediterranean. The beach is a 14 minute walk away, making this a genuine beach-side location. Gibraltar Airport is 32 minutes by car, while Real Club de Golf de Sotogrande and Puerto de Sotogrande marina are both under 15 minutes away. Eroski supermarket and Hospital are conveniently close at 10 and 8 minutes respectively. This location works well for families who want beach access without the crowds of central resorts, and for golfers looking to be near quality courses.

Blue Wave: Frequently Asked Questions

The nearest beach is 1.1 kilometres away, which works out to about 14 minutes on foot. That makes it close enough for a regular walk down without needing the car every time. The route takes you across fairly quiet roads rather than through built-up resort strips.

The smallest terraces measure 19 square metres, which gives you room for outdoor dining but not much else. The largest reach 160 square metres and open onto a private garden, so you can fit multiple seating areas, sun loungers and planting. The variation reflects different plot sizes and positions within the development, so ask which terrace size comes with the unit you are viewing.

The development sits between the AP-7 and the sea, so road noise will reach some homes, particularly those on the inland side. The level depends on which plot you choose and how the wind carries sound on the day. This is something to check during a viewing, ideally at different times, because it will not show up in photographs or floor plans.

The terraces face either south-east or south-west, so all homes get strong sunlight for a good portion of the day. South-east catches morning and early afternoon sun, while south-west holds the light into the evening. The hillside position in Manilva means most units also pick up sea views across the coast.

Gibraltar Airport sits 21 kilometres away, about 32 minutes by car on a clear run. That makes Blue Wave workable as a lock-up-and-leave property if you fly in and out regularly. The drive takes you along the coast road and can stretch longer in summer traffic, so allow extra time during peak season.

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.
