EL MOLINIO DEL DUQUE MANILVA
EL MOLINIO DEL DUQUE
The estate’s story begins in the 1700s, when an old mill stood in the valley of Manilva. Today, El Molino del Duque retains the essence of its storied past, evident in the beautifully preserved archways, textured walls, and antique flour-mill features that whisper of tradition and heritage. Encircled by tropical plants and majestic palm avenues, this idyllic enclave offers panoramic views that encompass both coastal tranquillity and the gentle foothills of Málaga’s countryside.
Spread over three hectares of verdant gardens, El Molino del Duque hosts weddings and events of up to 400 guests. The expansive grounds are home to a 20-metre pool, perfect for elegant receptions, and a grand patio for al fresco dining or lively dance floors under the stars. Inside, you’ll find airy salons and comfortable lounge areas that lend themselves effortlessly to a variety of themes, from rustic boho chic to refined black-tie sophistication. Whether you dream of a lavish party or an intimate gathering, the estate provides an adaptable canvas for all occasions.
At El Molino del Duque, every event is approached with care, creativity, and impeccable attention to detail. The team offers comprehensive event coordination, guiding you through every aspect, from custom décor and floral styling to exceptional catering options. If you’d like to extend the celebration, the estate’s six en-suite bedrooms accommodate up to 12 overnight guests, complete with a delicious breakfast served in the tranquil Japanese courtyard. This seamless combination of hospitality and design ensures you and your guests can unwind and savour every moment.
Set just minutes from the shimmering coastline, El Molino del Duque embodies the charm of southern Spain, blending the timeless allure of centuries-old architecture with the ease of modern, coastal living. Manilva’s beaches, local wineries, and cultural landmarks lie close at hand, offering guests a well-rounded taste of Andalusia.
