What is Aldea Hills?

Aldea Hills is a small new development in Manilva with semi-detached homes and a villa. The available semi-detached home is ready to move into: once the deeds are signed at the notary, you can move straight in.

The home

The home has 128 m² built on a 153 m² plot, with two bedrooms and two bathrooms (one of them en suite), a living room, a fully fitted kitchen, a terrace and a private garden. The basement gives you extra space with natural light, ideal as a hobby room, home office or guest room. You park on your own plot. There is pre-installation for air conditioning, double glazing and built-in wardrobes, and from the home you enjoy lovely views of the sea and the mountains.

Buying move-in ready

With a move-in ready home, you see exactly what you're buying. You reserve with €6,000, your lawyer checks the paperwork and within a few weeks you sign at the notary. You then receive the keys straight away.

Who is it for?

A semi-detached home with a garden and sea views for under €400,000 is rare on this coast. That makes Aldea Hills appealing if you're looking for your first home on the Costa del Sol, if you're retired and want peace and space, or if you're after a low-maintenance second home.

Prices and payment in October 2026

As of 26 October 2026, the move-in ready home at Aldea Hills is in our portfolio at €369,000. On a new build you pay 10% VAT and 1.2% stamp duty (AJD) on top of the price, plus notary, land registry and legal fees. On buying costs you can work out the total for your own situation.

You pay €6,000 to reserve, and the balance on signing the deed at the notary.

The location in Manilva

Aldea Hills is in Manilva, close to shops, with views of the sea and the mountains. The beaches of Sabinillas, Puerto de la Duquesa and the local golf courses are a short drive away, and the AP-7 gets you to Estepona, Sotogrande and Gibraltar in no time.

Living in Manilva

Manilva is the westernmost municipality on the Costa del Sol in the province of Málaga, between Casares and Sotogrande. The old village sits among the vineyards in the hills, while on the coast you'll find Sabinillas, with its beach and promenade, and Puerto de la Duquesa, with its marina and restaurants. La Duquesa golf course and the courses of Sotogrande and Estepona are close by.

Manilva is quieter and more affordable than the coast towards Marbella, yet easy to reach via the AP-7. Gibraltar is half an hour away and Málaga airport about an hour. Many new developments sit on the hillsides with wide sea views and, on a clear day, even views of Africa.

Buy in Manilva and you often get more space and better views for your money than further east. New builds are mainly around La Duquesa, Punta Chullera and the hills above Sabinillas, with swimming pools, green spaces and south-facing terraces. It's a popular choice for retirees and families looking for peace and quiet, and for second-home buyers who love golf, walking and the sea.

Why Aldea Hills?

A move-in ready semi-detached home with garden, basement and sea views for under €400,000: Aldea Hills is an accessible way to own your own home on the Costa del Sol.

An apartment as a second home

A new apartment is the easiest kind of second home on the Costa del Sol. The garden, pool and communal areas are maintained by the community of owners, so you have nothing to worry about while you're away. With a lift, a parking space and a storage room, you enjoy all the comfort of a new build, along with sunshine almost all year round. If you'd like to let the property while you're not there, check beforehand which licence you need; we'll set out the rules for you.

Enjoy it all year round

The Costa del Sol has one of the mildest climates in Europe, with plenty of sunshine and gentle winters. In summer, life is lived outdoors, around the pool and on the terraces. Autumn and spring bring perfect weather for golf, walking or cycling, and even in winter you'll often have lunch in the sun. Read more in our article on Marbella's microclimate. So a home here isn't just for the holidays, it's one you can enjoy all year round.

How a viewing works

Would you like to see Aldea Hills? We'll arrange the viewing around your trip, even at short notice. Beforehand we'll send you the plans, the specification list and a breakdown of the purchase costs, so you arrive well prepared. Once you're here, we'll show you not just the home but the neighbourhood too: the nearest schools and shops, the beach and the golf courses. That way you'll get an immediate feel for everyday life here.

Would you rather meet remotely first? Then we'll set up a video call and go through the plans together. You only decide once you know everything, and we can guide you in Dutch, English, French or Spanish.

Buying off-plan: how it works

With a new build, you first sign a reservation agreement, then a purchase contract with a deposit, and you pay the balance on completion at the notary. Under Spanish law, deposits on new builds must be protected by a bank guarantee or an insurance policy. Always have this checked, along with the building licence and the timeline. We carry out these legal check together with an independent lawyer, and we guide you from the first viewing right through to the handover of the keys, in your own language.
