Penthouse or ground-floor apartment – which is right for you?
When it comes to premium coastal living, few decisions shape your experience quite like the choice between a penthouse and a ground-floor apartment. Both promise luxury, light and connection with the outdoors, yet each offers its own distinct kind of privilege. Nowhere is this more evident than at NUBAY, the new beachfront development by NVOGA.
The appeal of the penthouse
A penthouse has long been regarded as the ultimate statement of luxury. Elevated above the landscape, it offers uninterrupted sea views and a rare sense of privacy. With no neighbours overhead, life is peaceful and connected to light and sky as constant companions.
Terraces and solariums are often a key feature, increasing your living space to include the wide terrace outside. These generous outdoor areas are perfect for entertaining, dining or simply enjoying the peace of the coastline. Some penthouses also feature private plunge pools, creating the feel of a 5* resort in your own home.
The higher position allows for exceptional natural light and ventilation, which brings a sense of space and freedom. It’s also true that a penthouse carries a certain cachet, with an undeniable sense of exclusivity. They are limited in number, highly desirable and tend to hold long-term appeal for discerning buyers looking for something special.
The attraction of the ground floor
At the other end of the spectrum, a ground-floor residence brings its own distinct rewards. The main advantage is direct access to outdoor space, whether that means a private garden, an extended terrace or even your own pool. The transition between indoors and outdoors is effortless, creating a lifestyle that feels both natural and relaxed.
There is a sense of connection to the landscape that is unique to ground-floor living. You are surrounded by greenery and the scent of the sea carried through your private garden. It’s the perfect choice for those who enjoy al fresco living, have children or pets, or simply want the feel of a private villa within a secure community.
Practicality is another draw. Access is immediate, without stairs or lifts, while gardens tend to remain naturally cool in the summer months. The result is an easy, grounded way of life that feels close to nature but still within a contemporary environment.
The perfect balance at NUBAY
At NUBAY, both options are beautifully realised. The development’s architecture and landscaping have been designed to maximise the light, privacy and views of each home. Ground floor apartments feature private gardens and optional pools, while the penthouses crown the buildings with spacious terraces, solariums and breathtaking outlooks across the Mediterranean.
Set just 100m from the sea in Manilva, NUBAY offers a boutique collection of villas, apartments and penthouses that combine contemporary design with an authentic coastal setting. Whether you dream of living life at the top, or enjoying the greenery at garden level, every home at NUBAY celebrates open space, light and the beauty of beachfront living.
