About this property
Overview
Kristina Views is a gated scheme of twenty townhouses in Manilva, each with three bedrooms and three bathrooms across 128 square metres. The living room has a double-height ceiling and skylights that pull natural light through the house.
Terraces run from 32 to 41 square metres, and each home has a garden and either a communal or private pool. The design opens the interior onto outdoor space, so you move between the two freely. The plot size given is 16 square metres, which appears unusually small for a townhouse and may refer to a courtyard or patio element, while the developer mentions sites averaging 150 square metres with corner plots larger still. If the outdoor space matters to you, verify the plot and terrace dimensions before deciding.
The scheme sits on the sea side of the AP-7 motorway in the Manilva hills, three minutes from Puerto Deportivo de la Duquesa marina and close to the toll road. Playa de la Chullera is a 24-minute walk, so the beach is within reach on foot if you are comfortable with that distance. Gibraltar Airport is 38 minutes away by car. You have Golf Academy Albayt Resort 16 minutes by car and the Spanish primary school Colegio de Educación Infantil y Primaria San Luis de Sabinillas ten minutes away. The surrounding area is suburban and close to shops, forest and the town centre of Manilva.
This suits families who want the structure of a gated development and regular access to the marina, golf and beach. The townhouse format means shared walls, and the gated setting reduces spontaneity. If you prefer a detached home or an address with more immediate beach access, this will not fit.

Kristina Views: Frequently Asked Questions
What views do the homes have?
Homes face either north east or south west, and views take in sea, mountain, country, garden, pool, courtyard and forest. The panoramic aspect means you see across more than one direction from the terraces. The mix depends on which way your home faces and where it sits within the scheme.
How far is the beach from Kristina Views?
Playa de la Chullera is 1.9 kilometres away, which is a 24-minute walk or six minutes by car. The beach is within walking distance if you are comfortable with that stretch, but most residents drive. The scheme sits in the Manilva hills rather than on the shore.
Is there a private pool or shared pool?
Each home has either a communal pool or a private pool, so arrangements vary across the scheme. The description does not clarify which homes have which. A private pool means you maintain it yourself and pay to run it. A communal pool is maintained for you but shared with neighbours.
How far is Gibraltar Airport?
Gibraltar Airport is 24 kilometres away, which is a 38-minute drive. That makes this workable for lock-up-and-leave use, particularly if you keep a car at the property. Málaga Airport is the other option for this part of the Costa del Sol and takes longer to reach from Manilva.
What is nearby for families?
Colegio de Educación Infantil y Primaria San Luis de Sabinillas, a Spanish primary school, is ten minutes away by car. A hospital is 6.2 kilometres away, which is a 14-minute drive. The nearest supermarket is 1.4 kilometres away, about seven minutes by car, and the scheme is close to shops and the town centre.
How does buying off-plan work in Spain?
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.
Are my deposits protected if the developer goes bust?
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.
What building guarantees come with a new-build?
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.
What taxes apply to new-build property in Spain?
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.
Can I customise finishes and layout before completion?
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.
How long will construction take?
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.
What should I check before signing an off-plan contract?
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.
Do I need a NIE and Spanish bank account to buy off-plan?
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.
Can non-residents get a Spanish mortgage?
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.
Should I get pre-approval before viewing?
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.
What taxes will I pay buying a property in Manilva?
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.
What ongoing costs should I expect?
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.
Are agent fees paid by the buyer or seller?
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.
