BlancaReal currently sells three new build developments on the Costa del Sol. Each has its own angle, location and buyer profile. This page is the honest three-way comparison for buyers who are weighing them against each other. The first half is narrative: what each development is for, what you actually see from the terrace, and which buyer it suits. The second half is the numeric feature parity table for buyers who want the spreadsheet view.
What is Nylva Homes?
Manilva, elevated hillside, SW-facing, 45 apartments across 3 buildings, energy cert A, completion Summer 2027. The defining feature is the three-continent view: sea, Gibraltar and the Moroccan coast from every terrace. Priced from €296,010, which is the lowest entry of the three developments on a per-m² basis. Suits buyers who prioritise the view, want value on the western Costa del Sol, and do not need to live next to nightlife or luxury retail.
What is Almitak?
BlancaReal's second current development. Different location, different view profile, different price point. The narrative anchor is different too: less about the long-distance panorama and more about resort-style amenities, pool complex and integrated landscaping. Suits buyers who want a holiday-led second home with strong on-site amenities and who are less focused on the specific sea-and-Gibraltar view axis.
What is Calahonda Sunset?
The third current BlancaReal development, positioned further east along the Costa del Sol in the Calahonda area between Marbella and Fuengirola. Closer to Málaga airport, closer to established Marbella retail and restaurants, and priced accordingly. Suits buyers who want proximity to Marbella life and can pay for it.
Which one should you buy?
The short version: pick based on what you actually want from the daily experience of the apartment.
- You want the Gibraltar and Africa view and the best price-per-square-metre. Nylva Homes. The view and the entry price are the defining features and neither of the other two matches them.
- You want resort-style amenities and a holiday feel. Almitak. Stronger on pool complex, landscaping and integrated lifestyle for second-home buyers.
- You want proximity to Marbella and the eastern end of the coast. Calahonda Sunset. Closest to Málaga airport and Marbella infrastructure.
- You want the sunset light but do not mind which location. Nylva Homes wins because of SW orientation across every unit.
- You want the lowest entry price. Nylva Homes at €296,010.

Frequently Asked Questions
Nylva Homes vs Almitak vs Calahonda Sunset: which should I buy?
Depends on your priorities. Nylva for the best Gibraltar and Africa view at the lowest entry price. Almitak for resort-style amenities and a holiday feel. Calahonda Sunset for proximity to Málaga airport and central Costa del Sol infrastructure. All three are BlancaReal developments with the same build standards and buyer support.
Which BlancaReal development has the best view?
Nylva Homes, objectively, because of the SW orientation and the elevated hillside site that captures sea, Gibraltar and the Moroccan coast in one frame. The other two face south into open Mediterranean without the Gibraltar sight line.
Which BlancaReal development is cheapest per m²?
Nylva Homes at around €2,900 per m² on the entry 2 bed. Almitak and Calahonda Sunset are higher per m² because of their respective locations (closer to central Costa del Sol infrastructure, which carries a price premium).
Which BlancaReal development is closest to Málaga airport?
Calahonda Sunset. It sits in Mijas Costa, around 35 km from the airport. Nylva Homes is 93 km (about an hour). Almitak sits between the two geographically.
Which development completes first?
Nylva Homes is scheduled for Summer 2027. Completion dates for Almitak and Calahonda Sunset vary by phase; Marcelo can share the current schedules on request. If timing matters, ask at first contact.
Do all three BlancaReal developments have the same build standards?
Yes, broadly. All three are built to modern Spanish CTE standards, all three offer energy cert A or high B rating, all three include underground parking and communal amenities. The LOE warranties (1/3/10 year) and the Ley 20/2015 bank guarantees apply identically.
Can I buy from more than one BlancaReal development?
Yes. Multiple buyers have purchased at two of the three for different purposes (one for primary residence, one for investment or holiday use). Marcelo handles the process across all three developments and can bundle viewings if you are travelling specifically to compare.
Which development has the best amenities?
Subjective. Almitak tends to score highest on resort-style pool complex and landscaping. Nylva has pool, gym and coworking room which cover the practical bases. Calahonda Sunset sits between the two on amenities and closer to off-site Marbella alternatives.
Which BlancaReal development suits year-round residents?
Nylva Homes, in our view, because of the energy cert A specification, the coworking room, the aerothermal heating and cooling, and the working-town infrastructure of Manilva and Sabinillas for everyday life. The other two are better suited to part-year use.
Where do I see more detail on each development?
Nylva Homes: this site (manilvapanorama.com) and the development page in particular. Almitak and Calahonda Sunset: ask Marcelo for the current brochures and spec sheets, which he can send by email or WhatsApp. The three developments each have their own sister sites if you want to dive deeper.
Which one has the strongest resale potential?
We do not forecast resale values and distrust any agent who claims to. What we can say is that Nylva has the unique view, Almitak has the resort positioning, and Calahonda Sunset has the central location. Each of those can support value over time in different market conditions. Buy based on what you want from the home, not on appreciation bets.
Can I compare all three in person on the same trip?
Yes. Marcelo arranges multi-development viewing itineraries for buyers who want to compare. A typical trip covers all three across 2 days including travel between them. Contact him to arrange.
