Low-density community between Laguna Blanca and the sea, next to Bikini Beach

About

La Carolina del Mar is a Manantiales development that combines a gated community of lots with a zone of residential buildings and amenities. It sits on Ruta 10 (Av. Eduardo Víctor Haedo) around km 163, between Laguna Blanca and the ocean, next to Bikini Beach and a short walk from Manantiales' restaurant strip. The land belongs to Donato Group, which presented the project in 2023.

According to La Nación, the site covers about 45 hectares and the gated community has 60 lots. The master plan, conceived as a "sea town", favours low density, generous setbacks and the preservation of native woodland and water; there is a private lake at its centre. The project promises direct beach access and beach service for residents.

Sources mention a club house, pools, a gym, a spa, a sauna and padel and tennis courts, plus controlled access with 24-hour security. One agency listing names mains water, sewerage, electricity and paved streets. Casa Living Manantiales is being built on the site: three four-storey buildings with 57 units, due for completion in 2027.

Lots of about 900–1,150 m² are advertised at roughly U$D 380,000–680,000, with lake-front lots at the top of the range. Common charges and building rules have not been published.
