Tucked into the sought-after Los Castillos urbanisation in La Duquesa, this beautifully proportioned three-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bathroom apartment is built for the way life is meant to be lived on the Costa del Sol.

Generous, light-filled and finished to a quality standard that’s increasingly hard to find, it offers the rare combination of true family-sized space and a holiday-home feel, perfect whether you’re relocating full-time, splitting your year between Spain and home, or looking for a standout property to share with family and friends.

Each of the three double bedrooms has been designed with comfort and privacy in mind, with the master enjoying its own en-suite, and with three full bathrooms plus a guest cloakroom in total, busy mornings and full guest lists are no longer a juggling act. The open, free-flowing living and dining space leads out to a terrace where the real magic happens: panoramic sea views, golden Costa del Sol moments, and a setting that turns ordinary evenings into the kind of memories your guests will still be talking about long after they’ve flown home.

This is a home that works equally hard as a primary residence, a second home, or a premium investment, and properties of this size, quality and outlook in La Duquesa rarely stay available for long.

Sold with air-conditioning, parking, a storeroom and furniture.

Los Castillos is one of La Duquesa’s most established and well-regarded residential urbanisations, a quiet, beautifully maintained community set on the elevated side of the resort, which is precisely why the sea views from this apartment are so special. Residents enjoy landscaped gardens, communal swimming pools and a real sense of neighbourhood, all within a secure, well-kept setting. It’s the kind of address where you can lock up and leave with total peace of mind, and arrive back to find your slice of Spain exactly as you left it. With the marina, beach and amenities all just a short walk or drive away, Los Castillos offers the best of both worlds: a peaceful, private retreat with the energy of La Duquesa right on your doorstep.

La Duquesa, in the municipality of Manilva, is one of the Costa del Sol’s best-kept secrets, and one of its smartest buys. Centred around its picturesque Puerto de la Duquesa marina, the area offers a relaxed, authentic Mediterranean lifestyle that’s increasingly rare on this stretch of coast. Sun-bleached beaches, waterfront restaurants, lively beach bars, boutique shops and the renowned La Duquesa Golf
