Cortijo Vizcaronda – Historic Andalusian Cortijo Ready To Become A Luxury Boutique Hotel In Manilva, Costa del Sol
Cortijo Vizcaronda is a rare opportunity to acquire a historic Andalusian estate with dominating sea views and transform it into a signature boutique hotel of 44–60 rooms in one of the most exclusive stretches of the Costa del Sol. Nestled in the hills of Manilva, just minutes from Sotogrande, Puerto de la Duquesa, Marbella and Gibraltar, Cortijo Vizcaronda combines the authenticity of a traditional Andalusian cortijo with the scale and layout required to create a highly profitable boutique hotel destination. The estate enjoys beautiful elevated sea views and a privileged sense of privacy while remaining close to marinas, golf courses, beaches and the international airport of Gibraltar.
The project contemplates acquiring the existing cortijo and developing it into a 44‑room luxury hotel, with the possibility to expand up to approximately 60 rooms through three new, modern buildings integrated into the landscape. The concept blends whitewashed Andalusian architecture, patios and courtyards with contemporary rooms, spa, pool and a gourmet restaurant, designed to appeal to high‑end leisure guests, wellness travellers and exclusive events.
Costa del Sol is one of Spain’s most in‑demand destinations, with year‑round tourism, strong luxury and golf segments and a growing market for eco‑tourism and retreats. The location of Cortijo Vizcaronda positions it to capture this consistent demand, leveraging proximity to Sotogrande, Marbella and Gibraltar, as well as Puerto de la Duquesa, while offering an intimate countryside setting that stands out from standard coastal hotels. From an investment perspective, the project combines a competitive purchase price of approximately €3,800,000, to create a fully repositioned asset in a market where premium room rates and high occupancy levels support attractive returns. The existing cortijo structure, authentic charm and established access dramatically shorten time‑to‑market compared with greenfield developments, while the flexibility of 44–60 keys allows tailoring the final concept to the operator’s brand and strategy.
Cortijo Vizcaronda can operate as a boutique hotel with spa and fine dining restaurant, complemented by weddings, corporate retreats and private events, or be positioned as a wellness, yoga and eco‑retreat taking full advantage of the natural surroundings. Thanks to its layout, the property can also be configured for partial buy‑outs, making it particularly appealing for high‑spending groups seeking exclusivity. For experienced hotel investors, family offices or operators seeking a flagship property in Southern Spain, Cortijo Vizcaronda offers an exceptional canvas: authentic Andalusian heritage, magnificent views, strategic location and a clear, well‑defined development plan. Detailed architectural schemes for the additional hotel buildings, spa, pool and restaurant, as well as financial projections and operational concepts, are available on request.

The map shows the general area, not the exact address.
Manilva is the western frontier of the Costa del Sol, bordering the province of Cádiz. Centred on the marina and beaches of La Duquesa, it offers some of the most affordable coastal property on the western coast, which has made it popular with value-focused buyers and holiday-home owners. Beyond the coast lie vineyards, the hilltop village of Manilva and quiet countryside. The market is led by apartments and townhouses around La Duquesa's marina and golf course, with villas available inland and along the coast. For buyers priced out of Estepona and Marbella, Manilva offers a genuine beachside lifestyle at a lower entry point, with Sotogrande and Gibraltar close by to the west.
Top of the market: 27% above the typical price
About 27% above the typical price in Manilva. Common for exceptional properties and top locations.

These are estimates to guide you, based on buying a property in Andalucia. Please confirm the exact numbers with your lawyer.
The answers international buyers ask most, before you commit. We work for you, not the seller, and it costs you nothing.
Yes, our service is free for you. The selling side pays our fee, but we're not tied to any property or seller. This means we can offer you every property on the market without pushing one over another. The price is the same whether or not you use us, but with us, you gain comprehensive service, support, and honest advice.
Property prices are set by the seller and are negotiable, unlike fixed new-build prices. We compare the asking price against recent sales of similar properties and the real market, and tell you honestly if it is too high. We would rather lose a sale than let you overpay.
Before you sign anything binding, your trusted lawyer that we can recommend will check the Land Registry record (nota simple) for mortgages, charges, and debts, confirm the community fees and local tax (IBI) are paid, and check that any extension is legal and has its first occupation licence. Any debts must be cleared before completion.
We view the property for you in person and by video, and report the true condition honestly, including any damp, age, or work needed. We can also help you arrange an independent inspection.
You pay a reservation deposit and then sign a private purchase contract (contrato de arras), which states what each side pays if they don't go through with the deal. Your trusted lawyers will draft or review it so you are protected, and nothing binding is signed until the legal checks are done.
A resale property has transfer tax (ITP, 7% in Andalucia) instead of the VAT (IVA) and stamp duty charged on a new build. On top you pay notary, land registry, and legal fees. Budget roughly 9-10% above the price. You will have the full breakdown in writing.
Yes, resale property prices are negotiable. How much below asking is realistic depends on the property and how it is priced. We negotiate for you, using local market knowledge, to get you the best deal.
You mainly need a Spanish tax number (NIE). We manage the whole process on your behalf, from the first contact to the keys, and stay with you long after the deal.
