Grand Bay — Sea-View Apartments in Bahía Las Rocas, Manilva

Grand Bay sits in Bahía Las Rocas, one of the most natural corners of Manilva on the western Costa del Sol, on the coastline between Punta Paloma and Chullera. This is the stretch of quiet beaches, traditional chiringuitos and unspoiled shore that made the area a discreet favourite long before the cranes arrived — and new-build here is rare.

About the development

The homes are two and three-bedroom apartments, each with two bathrooms, oriented south-east or south-west so the living space follows the sun. Many enjoy open sea views, and every home has a terrace — with some ground-floor apartments adding a private garden and top-floor homes a solarium. Interiors are bright and open-plan, finished to a contemporary Mediterranean standard.

Amenities

Gardens and water — a communal swimming pool sits among landscaped gardens at the heart of the development, a calm green setting a short walk from the sand.

Designed for the coast — the low-rise architecture, sea orientation and private outdoor space on every home make Grand Bay as comfortable for a summer bolthole as for year-round coastal living.

Location — between Punta Paloma and Chullera

Bahía Las Rocas is one of the last natural pockets of this coast, its beaches backed by dunes and beach bars rather than high-rise. Duquesa Marina and its restaurants are a few minutes along the shore, Sabinillas and Estepona are close, and the coastal path links a string of quiet coves.

Málaga and Gibraltar airports are both around an hour away by car.
