Last updated: 20 October 2026
About Los Hidalgos De La Duquesa
Nine villas, no more. Los Hidalgos de la Duquesa is a small-scale development of detached homes in Los Hidalgos, the part of Manilva that borders La Duquesa port. Each villa stands on its own plot of around 600 m² and has four en-suite bedrooms, a private pool and a garden. If you want to move from an apartment to a real house on the coast, this is a rare opportunity in this area.
The villa in our listing costs €1,170,000. It has 265 m² built, of which 176 m² usable, a 52 m² terrace and a 628 m² plot. The four bedrooms each have a bathroom, and there is a separate guest toilet. The living and dining area is open-plan with the kitchen. The project description mentions parking for two cars on the property. Completion is scheduled for 19 December 2027.
The project scores well on energy: our data shows an A rating, and the description even speaks of A+. That means low running costs, even if you want to keep the villa cool in summer and warm in winter. The development is gated. As there are only nine homes, you share no pool and little communal space, which also keeps community fees low.

Los Hidalgos De La Duquesa in figures
This villa is more expensive than the Manilva average, and that makes sense. At €4,415 per m² it sits 14% above the municipality's new-build median (€3,880) and 45% above resale homes in Manilva (€3,043, idealista, September 2026). That comparison mainly covers apartments, though; a new detached villa with a pool on 628 m² of land is a different product. All in, the villa costs around €1,322,240: €117,000 VAT, €14,040 stamp duty, €7,000 notary and €14,200 lawyer. Mind the timeline too: completion is about 14 months away, whereas the Manilva median is 8 months.
| Price | € 1.170.000 |
| VAT (IVA) 10% | € 117.000 |
| Stamp duty (AJD) 1.2% | € 14.040 |
| Notary and land registry (estimate) | € 7.000 |
| Lawyer 1% + VAT (estimate) | € 14.200 |
Around 13.0% on top of the price in total. All purchase costs explained.
Terrace, solarium and garden combined, as a percentage of the living area (median). That is more than 9% of new developments in Manilva. Largest outdoor space: 52 m².
Planned completion December 2027. For half of the new developments in Manilva, completion is within 8 months.
Calculated by Imagine Marbella on 20 October 2026 from the current supply of 11 new developments in Manilva and the average asking price of resale homes in Manilva according to Idealista, September 2026. Costs are an estimate; we will prepare an exact calculation for you.
Location
Los Hidalgos is a residential area of Manilva a short distance from La Duquesa port. It is an established neighbourhood, not a new development high up in the hills: according to the description, you have supermarkets, restaurants, pharmacies, a health centre and public transport nearby. The plot is low-lying, at around 18 metres above sea level, and according to the description the beach is 150 metres away. Sabinillas and El Castillo are a few minutes' drive away.
By car you are everywhere in no time. Eroski is a 1-minute drive, La Duquesa beach 3 minutes and the port 4. Sotogrande is a 13-minute drive, Estepona hospital 11 and Estepona town centre 17. Gibraltar airport is 35 minutes away, Málaga airport 72. On the map everything looks within walking distance, but the coast road can make the walking route longer; we are happy to walk it with you.
We will send you the exact location and the address of the sales office when you request Privé access or book a viewing.

Sun, light and views
Here the sun rises at 7:03 on 21 June and sets at 21:42, giving 14.6 hours of daylight. On 21 December you still have 9.7 hours, with the midday sun at 30° above the horizon. Los Hidalgos De La Duquesa sits at around 18 metres above sea level.
Sea views are not confirmed in our data, which is to be expected given the low-lying position among other homes. We check the orientation of the garden and pool for each villa, as it determines how much sun you get in winter.
Homes and finishes
The villas are modern in style and, according to the description, built with energy efficiency in mind, with an A or A+ rating. Every bedroom gets its own bathroom, a clear advantage for rentals. The kitchen opens onto the living area. We have not yet seen detailed building specifications. We request them and check, among other things, the heating and cooling systems, the pool filtration and heating, the garden finish and the fencing of the plot.
Payment schedule
As with most new builds on the Costa del Sol, you pay in instalments: a reservation deposit, a portion on signing the purchase contract and during construction, and the balance at the deed signing. Every payment before completion must be covered by a bank guarantee. We will send you the exact payment schedule for Los Hidalgos De La Duquesa through Privé.

Our honest verdict on Los Hidalgos De La Duquesa
Strengths
- Only 9 detached villas, so small-scale and private.
- Private pool and garden on a 628 m² plot.
- Four bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, ideal for families or renting out.
- Beach, La Duquesa port and supermarket just minutes away.
- High energy rating, which keeps running costs low.
Points to consider
- Completion not until late December 2027, a longer wait than average in Manilva.
- No confirmed sea views, due to the low-lying position in a built-up area.
- The 52 m² terrace is limited; the outdoor space is mainly in the garden.
- Price per m² 14% above the new-build median in Manilva.
- Parking details differ: one space in our data, two in the description.
Who is Los Hidalgos De La Duquesa right for?
This villa suits families who want to live by the sea all year round or for long periods, with everything nearby and no apartment feel. For anyone who wants to rent it out, the combination of four bathrooms, a private pool and La Duquesa port 4 minutes away is strong too. If you are after sea views or a large, wooded setting, or would rather not wait until the end of 2027, you are better off looking elsewhere.
