Vesta Mare
Property Overview
Uncompromising quality and style.
Imagine waking up each morning with the sun rising over the Mediterranean, enjoying views that stretch endlessly from your home. Welcome to Vesta Mare, the new development by Grupo ABU in prime beachfront Manilva, a project where history and Mediterranean lifestyle merge to create something truly unique.
Located next to the Duquesa Castle and just minutes from Duquesa Marina, Vesta Mare enjoys a privileged setting, where historical heritage meets a vibrant offer of leisure, sports, gastronomy, and entertainment. This location combines the tranquility of a coastal town with the vitality of the Costa del Sol, an area in growth with very few new-build opportunities right on the beach.
The development will feature three buildings and 145 unique residences, with a carefully curated selection of modern homes designed to suit every lifestyle: 1, 2, 3 and 4-bedroom residences. Each home combines sustainable architecture, premium finishes, and first-class amenities, creating the perfect balance of comfort, style, and exclusivity.
Shared amenities include a communal pool, landscaped gardens, central plaza, and private parking, creating a safe, elegant, and functional environment for the whole family.
Every residence at Vesta Mare has been designed to offer the perfect combination of elegance, comfort, lifestyle and design. The homes feature spacious open-plan living and dining areas that maximize natural light and seamlessly connect to the terraces. Designer kitchens allow for both style and functionality, while minimalist, elegant bathrooms complement the avant-garde aesthetic.
The common areas have been thoughtfully designed to enhance well-being, foster community, and celebrate the natural beauty of the Costa del Sol. Residents will enjoy an infinity-edge swimming pool overlooking the Mediterranean, a children’s pool in a safe, separate area, and a fully equipped indoor gym. A multipurpose room provides space for co-working, meetings, or events, while underground parking with assigned spaces and private storage rooms included with each unit ensure comfort and convenience. The on-site Interpretive Museum, open to residents and the public, adds a unique cultural dimension to everyday life. Vesta Mare by ABU is not just a residence—it’s a lifestyle, a cultural experience, and a front-row seat to one of the Costa del Sol’s most exclusive locations.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about purchasing property in Spain.
Can foreigners buy property in Spain?+

What is an NIE, and why do I need it?+
The NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero) is a tax identification number required for all legal and financial transactions in Spain, including property purchases. You must obtain it before signing the deed. It can be acquired through Spanish consulates abroad or directly in Spain.
What taxes and fees are involved in buying property?+
Buyers should budget for: Transfer Tax (ITP): 6–10% for resale properties. VAT (IVA): 10% for new properties, plus 1.5% for stamp duty. Notary, registration, and legal fees: Approximately 2–3% of the purchase price.
Can I get a mortgage in Spain as a non-resident?+

Should I hire a lawyer?+

What is the "cédula de habitabilidad"?+
This is the certificate of occupancy, confirming that a property meets habitability standards. It’s essential for utility registration and, in some regions, for property rentals.
Are there restrictions on renting out my property?+
Rental regulations vary by region. Some areas require a tourist license for short-term rentals, and there may be restrictions in place to control housing availability for locals.
What ongoing taxes will I owe after purchasing?+
Owners must pay: IBI (Impuesto sobre Bienes Inmuebles): Annual property tax. Non-Resident Income Tax: If you don’t live in Spain full-time. Wealth Tax: Applicable for high-value properties, depending on regional laws.
What is the Golden Visa, and is it still available?+

Are there common pitfalls to avoid?+
Yes, including: Not understanding all taxes involved. Skipping due diligence. Not verifying the property’s legal status. Failing to account for additional costs.

Are there any residency requirements after purchase?+
Owning property does not automatically grant residency. If you plan to stay long-term, you must apply for the appropriate visa or residency permit.
What are the implications of proposed taxes on non-EU buyers?+
Spain has considered implementing a 100% tax on properties bought by non-EU citizens to address housing affordability issues. While not yet enacted, it’s essential to stay informed about such policy changes.
