About this property

Overview

Pure Sun II gives you two or three-bedroom apartments in Manilva, a quieter stretch of the Costa del Sol where the pace is slower than in the bigger resorts to the east. The built sizes run from 86 to 105 square metres, and the terraces are large by any measure: 27 square metres at the smallest, 241 at the largest. That upper figure belongs to the ground-floor units, which open straight onto private garden. The penthouses take the sea views. Every apartment has two bathrooms, and all come with a parking space.

The development sits between the AP-7 motorway and the Mediterranean, which means you are close to the beach but also close to road noise. The motorway is a few hundred metres behind the site, so check how much you hear from the terrace if that matters to you. The flip side is direct access to the AP-7, which makes driving to Gibraltar Airport straightforward. Mercadona is a five-minute drive or a quarter of an hour on foot, and the beach is a short walk in the other direction.

The shared facilities cover a lot of ground: an infinity pool, spa with Turkish bath and sauna, a gym, and a leisure room with space set aside for coworking. The gardens wrap around the blocks and are part of the design rather than an afterthought. Ground-floor buyers get private garden as an extension of the terrace, while upper floors and penthouses look over the communal areas and out to sea.

This suits buyers who want a beachside base without the intensity of Marbella or Estepona, and who will mostly drive rather than walk to shops and restaurants. Families and remote workers will find the layout and the facilities fit their routines. The motorway is the trade-off for the location, and it will be there whether you use it or not.

Location

Manilva

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

Pure Sun II is on the sea side of the AP-7, between the motorway and the Mediterranean. This puts you close to the beach with easy road access. Gibraltar Airport is a 40 minute drive away, making it convenient for regular travel. Mercadona supermarket is just a 5 minute drive or 14 minute walk for daily shopping. Manilva itself is a quieter option on the Costa del Sol, away from the busier resort towns. This location works well for families wanting beach access and straightforward connections to the airport.

PURE SUN FASE II: Frequently Asked Questions

Terraces range from 27 square metres on upper floors to 241 square metres for ground-floor apartments. The ground-floor units include private garden that extends the terrace, while penthouses and mid-floor apartments have outdoor space that opens onto views of the communal areas and the sea.

The beach is 1.7 kilometres away, which is walkable in about twenty minutes but most buyers drive. The development sits between the AP-7 motorway and the Mediterranean, so you are close to the coast but separated from it by the intervening land and the road noise that comes with motorway proximity.

Gibraltar Airport is 26 kilometres away, about forty minutes by car. Direct access to the AP-7 motorway makes the drive straightforward, which is useful if you are using the apartment as a lock-up-and-leave base. Málaga Airport is the other option and takes longer.

Built sizes run from 86 to 105 square metres across two and three-bedroom layouts. All apartments have two bathrooms regardless of bedroom count, and every home includes a parking space. The size difference shows mainly in the terrace, where ground-floor units claim the largest outdoor areas.

The nearest supermarket is 1.1 kilometres away, about a fifteen-minute walk or five minutes by car. Manilva is a quieter part of the Costa del Sol, and most amenities require a car rather than being clustered within easy walking distance of the development.

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.
