Description
This ground-floor new-build apartment in Bahia de las Rocas covers 103 m2 of internal living space across 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, and sits within a 35-unit development of two storeys. The unit comes with a private garden, 2 allocated parking spaces, and includes ceramic tiled floors throughout, air conditioning, built-in wardrobes, and a fitted kitchen with appliances. A video intercom provides entry security, and a lift serves both floors.Bahia de las Rocas is a residential area on the western edge of Manilva municipality, positioned close to the Costa del Sol's border with Cádiz. The development is 2 km from the coast, giving straightforward access to the beaches along this stretch of the Malaga province shoreline. Málaga Airport is approximately 20 minutes by car. The town centre of Manilva, with its weekly market and local supermarkets, is a short drive along the coastal road.Community fees are currently recorded at zero, though buyers should confirm this with the developer before exchange.

As a new build in Andalucía, this purchase carries IVA (VAT) at 10% of the purchase price plus AJD stamp duty at 1.2%; ITP does not apply.

Bahia de las Rocas is located within a tourist coastal zone, and the development's proximity to the beach makes short-term rental potential a reasonable consideration for buyers.

About Bahia De Las Rocas, Manilva
Manilva is one of the most popular destinations on Spain's Costa Blanca.
What purchase taxes and costs apply to this apartment?
As a new build in Andalucía, this purchase carries IVA (VAT) at 10% of the purchase price plus AJD stamp duty at 1.2%, set by the Autonomous Community of Andalucía. ITP does not apply to new-build purchases. Reduced rates and local allowances may apply if you meet Andalucía's conditions — for example age, large-family or disability status, or buying a primary residence — and this is worth confirming before you finalise your budget. Additional costs typically include notary fees (EUR 600–1,200), land registry fees (EUR 400–800), and legal fees at approximately 1% of the purchase price plus VAT.
Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident buyer?
Non-resident buyers can typically access Spanish mortgages, though lenders generally require a deposit of 30–40% of the purchase price. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates in Spain are broadly in the range of 3.5–4.5%, though this varies by lender and applicant profile. We recommend speaking with a Spanish mortgage broker before making an offer.
What are the ongoing running costs for this property?
Community fees are currently recorded as zero for this development; buyers should verify this with the developer prior to completion. IBI (council tax) has not yet been assessed for this new-build property and will be confirmed once the property is registered with the catastro. Utility contracts for electricity and water will need to be set up in the buyer's name on completion.
Can I view this apartment remotely?
Yes. We offer video viewings via WhatsApp or video call for buyers who cannot travel to Manilva immediately. Our agents can walk you through the show apartment or the development site in real time. In-person viewings can be arranged with advance notice during weekdays and weekends.
Is this apartment suitable for holiday letting?
Bahia de las Rocas sits within the Costa del Sol coastal zone, where demand for short-term holiday rentals is consistent through the summer months and steady during the shoulder seasons. The proximity to the beach and the on-site communal facilities make this a practical choice for holiday rental use. In Andalucía, short-term tourist rentals require registration with the Junta de Andalucía and must comply with the regional tourism licence regulations. We can refer you to a local property management company for guidance.
What does the purchase process involve?
The first step is obtaining an NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero), the tax identification number required for any property transaction in Spain. Once you decide to proceed, a reservation deposit is paid to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras or contrato de compraventa), at which point a further deposit — typically 10% of the purchase price — is paid. For new-build properties, stage payments during construction are common; your solicitor will review the payment schedule. Completion takes place before a Spanish notary, at which point the remaining balance and all taxes and fees are settled.
