About this property

Overview

Nubay is a new development of 3-bedroom ground floor apartments for sale in Manilva, Costa del Sol, priced from €1,325,000 to €2,300,000. This is a frontline beach project, which places it in a different price bracket to the inland alternatives that dominate Manilva's new build market. The development comprises five large ground floor units only, each with direct access to landscaped gardens and communal leisure areas. Every home is designed to capture sea views across the Mediterranean, a function of both the beachfront position and the low-density layout.

Built sizes range from 121 to 174 m², with all units offering three bedrooms and either two or three bathrooms. One configuration includes a guest cloakroom in addition to the main bathrooms. Each apartment opens onto private outdoor space that connects to the wider garden areas, which surround the building and extend to the beach. A communal pool is included. The architecture follows a contemporary design approach, with the landscaping planned to integrate the building into its coastal setting rather than isolate it behind perimeter walls. No parking provision is confirmed in the available data, so buyers should verify garage or surface space allocation with the developer directly.

Estepona town centre lies approximately 15 minutes by car to the east, while Sotogrande, known for its marina and polo facilities, is a similar distance west. Manilva itself sits between these two established markets and attracts buyers looking for beachfront access without the density or price levels of Marbella or Estepona's Golden Mile. The area remains quieter than its neighbours, which suits those prioritising space and a less developed coastline but may feel isolated to buyers expecting year-round restaurant and retail infrastructure within walking distance. Málaga airport is under an hour's drive, Gibraltar airport roughly 40 minutes depending on border wait times.

This is an off-plan project. The standard Spanish payment structure applies: 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, particularly for buyers unfamiliar with Spanish new build contracts and the specific obligations around stage payment timing. Frontline beach developments in this price range are relatively rare in Manilva, so resale comparables may be limited when the time comes to exit.

Nubay: Frequently Asked Questions

Nubay prices range from €1,325,000 to €2,300,000 depending on the specific unit and its features. Every ground floor apartment at Nubay includes a private garage, and most units feature either a private garden or access to communal pool facilities. Sea views are a standard feature across the development, making these prices reflect the beachfront location and included amenities.

Nubay is situated in Manilva on the Costa del Sol, positioned directly on the beachfront with direct access to the sand. This location puts you on one of the most sought-after stretches of the Costa del Sol, with easy access to local restaurants, shops, and the natural beauty of the Andalusian coast.

Nubay offers 3-bedroom ground floor apartments ranging from 121 to 174 square metres in built size. The variation in size allows buyers to choose based on their needs, with larger units offering more living space while maintaining the same beachfront location and amenities.

Being ground floor units at Nubay means direct access to your private garden, and the beachfront position gives you unobstructed sea views from your home. The combination of private outdoor space, sea views, and proximity to the beach sets these apartments apart from typical mid-rise developments.

Nubay is expected to reach completion in May 2028, giving buyers a clear timeline for when they can take possession of their beachfront apartment. This allows sufficient time for quality construction while the project moves forward with its development schedule.

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.
