Nubay, in context.

Nubay is a beachfront residential community in Manilva's La Duquesa district, on the western Costa del Sol between Estepona and Sotogrande, aimed at buyers who value proximity to the sea without the density of the busier resort towns.

The scheme pairs 2, 3 and 4-bedroom apartments and penthouses with a limited collection of five detached villas, all sited around 100 metres from the sand.

Construction is under way, with completion scheduled for spring 2028. Of 69 units, 62 are already sold, leaving seven available at the time of writing. A landscaping plan reserves 5,000 m² of private gardens for residents and preserves a 13,500 m² green buffer between the buildings and the promenade, protecting the open sea views.

The off-plan discount, stage by stage

Off-plan entry typically offers the largest pricing headroom at the earliest stages. The advantage narrows as construction progresses — at completion the unit is priced at market. Nubay currently sits in the Under construction band.

Roccabox analyst view

Nubay is one of the last first-line beachfront schemes on this stretch of coast, and the numbers reflect it: 62 of 69 units are already sold, with seven remaining. Buying now, ahead of the spring 2028 completion, secures a scarce beachfront home in a district Manilva's own marketing frames as an emerging market. With only a handful of units left and construction already progressing, choice will narrow quickly rather than expand.

Reserving early

Why buyers reserve at this stage

Personalisation window

Reserving during the Under construction phase gives buyers genuine input into layout, finishes and basement use ahead of handover, a window that closes as the build advances.

Scarcity and specification

7 of 69 units remain. The plot sizes, orientation and amenity package on this scheme are not easily replicated in the immediate resale stock.

Risk-managed entry

Spanish new-build buyers are protected by staged payments held under bank guarantee, ten-year structural warranty and full licence review. Roccabox brokers all of this through regulated counsel.

Market reality

The premium, contextualised

Useful context — not a substitute for unit-level valuation. Pricing data cross-referenced against live Costa del Sol market signals.

Nubay is not priced against average Manilva resale stock. It is a premium new-build product with the specification, plot quality and amenity package that the broader resale market typically does not match. At €9,532 per built m² the relevant question is whether the premium is justified against comparable new-build completions, not whether it beats the area's median of €2,430/m².

The setting is quiet coastal Manilva, a vineyard town known for its Muscatel wine and unspoiled shoreline. Playa de la Chullera lies about 527 metres away, and the marina at Puerto Deportivo de la Duquesa, with its restaurants and moorings, is a four-minute drive.

Everyday needs are close: Eroski and Dia supermarkets sit within roughly a kilometre, a pharmacy and tapas bars within two, and the nearest hospital around 13 minutes by car. Golf is well served, with three courses within 13 minutes and Sotogrande's marina a quarter-hour west. 5-hour journey.

Residency planning for non-EU buyers

Spain's property-based Golden Visa route closed to new applicants on 3 April 2025. Non-EU buyers acquiring property at this value still have residency routes — non-lucrative visa, digital-nomad visa, and case-specific options — depending on circumstances. We introduce regulated immigration counsel before any commitment.

Common questions

Buying off-plan in Spain, answered

Straight answers to the questions our specialists field most. For anything else, the assistant above answers in real time.

Is Nubay a good investment compared to the local resale market?

Nubay is positioned as a premium new-build product with developer warranty, modern specification and limited supply. Comparable to the broader resale stock in Manilva on price-per-m², the premium reflects new-build standards, plot quality and amenity package not typically available in the resale market. Our market analysts model the projected key-ready value on request.

What is the off-plan payment schedule in Spain?

Spanish off-plan purchases are typically staged: 10% on reservation (refundable holding deposit), a further 20% on signing the private purchase contract, and the remaining 70% on completion. Every euro paid before completion is held under bank guarantee — if the developer defaults, your money is refunded under Spanish law.

Can a non-resident get a mortgage to buy at Nubay?

Yes. Spanish banks routinely lend 60–70% loan-to-value to non-residents on properties at this value, over terms of 20–25 years at competitive rates. Roccabox introduces vetted non-resident mortgage brokers at no cost.

Does buying at Nubay qualify for Spanish residency?

Spain's property-based Golden Visa route closed to new applicants on 3 April 2025 under Organic Law 1/2025. However, other residency routes remain available depending on circumstances — non-lucrative visa, digital-nomad visa, work or family-based permits. Roccabox introduces regulated Spanish immigration counsel.

How far is Nubay from Málaga airport?

Approximately 83 minutes' drive, with a direct route via the A-7 / AP-7 motorway.

What is included in the purchase price?

Price includes the unit as specified by the developer. Spanish purchase costs (VAT/IVA on new builds at 10%, AJD stamp duty at 1.2%, notary and registry around 1%, legal counsel typically 1%) sit on top of the headline price. The Roccabox team produces a personalised total-cost breakdown on request.

Can I personalise the property?

At the Under construction stage, Nubay buyers can typically influence layout details, basement configuration, finishes and specification ahead of handover. The window narrows as the build progresses. Our specialist will walk you through what's still negotiable on each remaining unit.
