If you’re looking for a peaceful location and the convenience of a new build apartment, then this home in San Sebastian’s Amara neighbourhood is perfect for you. It’s still close to the Old Town and sandy beaches, but you’ll be surrounded by a quiet residential area, full of locals and authentic pintxo bars. The layout is best suited to a small family and while the bedrooms are compact, there’s not a speck of clutter in sight. Large windows invite plenty of natural light inside, so you can enjoy the afternoon sunshine while curled up on the sofa with your book.

We can find very little to fault with this apartment just around the corner from Amara railway station. A recent renovation means that the interior design feels vibrant and modern, with pops of colour coming from the house plants, eclectic artwork and the kitchen's bold red surfaces.

The home's high ceilings and shiny wooden floors work well with the ample amount of natural light that comes in through the French doors, while there's even a small balcony in case you want to feel the sunlight on your skin at any point.

We should mention that the central location is nothing short of superb. La Concha beach is all of five minutes' walk away, while the famous Old Town and Mount Urgull are about double that time. The charming Plaza Easo is less than sixty seconds on foot from the front door, too.

We think there's something very relaxing, gazing at a river – at this apartment, you can do just that from the comfort of your own home. We love the River Urumea views from the large bay windows in the elegant living space with its parquet wood flooring and comfy chaise sofa. After a cafe con leche and some pastries for breakfast, get ready in the marble-clad pink bathroom and go and explore this fabulous location.

Spend the day on the nearby golden sands – it's just a five-minute walk to Zurriola and La Concha beaches. Watch the surfers or have a refreshing dip in the Cantabrian Sea, then explore San Sebastián's old town. Of course, as you'd expect, there are plenty of bars and eateries nearby to enjoy too.

Patio / Terrace

Minimal and filled with natural light, this apartment invites you to experience San Sebastián from a laidback location. You can still soak up the Basque energy from your private balcony – a prime spot to share a glass of Txakoli wine after a day exploring the Old Town – whilst enjoying quieter moments. The interior is pared-back, with a modern kitchen for when you aren’t out sampling a chalkboard of Basque pintxos. We love how well positioned it is too – it may not be in the bustling centre, but it’s still within easy reach of Donostia–San Sebastián’s La Concha Beach and waterfront bars.

Finish your day with a relaxing soak in the tub and drift off to sleep in one of the apartment's luxurious comfy beds.

This modern apartment showcases the best of San Sebastián. For starters, the location is excellent. Zurriola Beach, the historic Old Town, and an array of trendy eateries are all just a stone's throw away. If the central setting doesn't sway you, we reckon the contemporary design back home will. The living space has plenty of room to stretch out, while the three bedrooms offer respite away from the group. There's also a well-appointed kitchen where you can whip up meals – though with pintxo bars on your doorstep, dining out is likely on the cards.

A dove-grey sofa is the ideal spot to curl up for a quick catnap, while rattan lamps and side tables add pops of interest. The bedroom is similarly textural, and enjoys plenty of natural light from the French doors; throw them open for some sea air and to hear the sounds of the city waking up. The kitchen has a stove and coffee maker, making Spanish-style eggs easy. There’s a nearby car park where you can rent a space if necessary.

Buena Cara

Uplifting light, greenery and all the treasures of San Sebastián are in rich supply when you stay at this perfectly positioned home.

Combining a fantastic location with a fresh and modern feel, it’s the perfect choice for a weekend stay. A large bay window overlooking Calle Zubieta provides a peaceful place for people-watching, and you can even spy the boats bobbing in the bay just a stone’s throw away. To dive into the city’s vibrant culinary scene, a five-minute seafront stroll will take you to the cobblestoned Old Town, where lively pintxos bars rub shoulders with high-end boutiques. With little luxuries like a rainfall shower and small balconies off the living room and bedroom, you’ll enjoy living like a local at this clean and simple home.

On The Bay

On the edge of the Cantabrian Sea, this home contrasts its old-world Spanish setting with clean lines, pops of colour and a distinct Scandi-cool feel. Cleverly appointed furnishings and a slick kitchen ensure you’ll have plenty of space to relax, gather for a lively meal or game of cards, or set up a comfortable workstation. Of course, no trip to San Sebastián would be complete without a visit to the shore, and the soft sands of Zurriola Beach are just moments away. As the sun sets, we can think of nothing better than stepping into the Old Town – thirty seconds from your door – and working your way through the pintxos bars.

A sunny flat on the fifth floor, this home boasts a contemporary design scheme with the use of fitted furnishings, neutral colours and metallic accent pieces that add warmth and focus.

After all, you’ll be staying in the city centre, just moments from the Old Town and the golden sands of the Beach of La Concha. Bringing together all of our favourite ingredients for a perfect vacation, San Sebastian is a culinary haven, a surfer’s paradise and a culturally and historically rich enclave in the Basque Country. For hikers, we recommend climbing to the top of Mount Ulia for breathtaking views of the Bay of Biscay. Sun-worshippers can relax with live music or learn how to surf at Zurriola Beach. And foodies will fall in love with the venerable dining scene. When night falls, crawl into your wonderfully comfortable bed for a great night’s sleep.

After a day in the waves, we know you’ll be seeking a rewarding dinner. We recommend Ganbara, just a fourteen-minute walk from your apartment, for their pilgrimage-worthy pintxos – the boletus mushrooms grilled a la plancha are lovingly coated in silky egg yolk, whilst the spider crab tartlet is particularly memorable. When you’re ready to wind down, fall into your soft sheets – the perfect way to end a salt-soaked day.

Gather around the mid-century-style breakfast table for a quick coffee before heading out to explore the city’s highlights.

Walk along the curving coastline, jutting off to explore the atmospheric cobblestone streets lined with Basque pintxos bars. We recommend a complete culinary tour – sample as many authentic savoury bites as you can – TX Klub for their wild mushroom rice studded with yuca, Xarma Cook & Culture for their version of salted cod stacked on a skewer, and Rita for creamy oysters and ox chorizo. The best part? This tour is a perfect loop around your neighbourhood and its total walking time is only one hour.

Perfectly satiated and with a cold cerveza in hand, make yourself comfortable on the plump sofa under the glow of the globe floor lamp - this is the best way to relax after a day of sightseeing. When you’re ready to wind down, sink into the sheets of the serene-hued bedroom for a restful night’s sleep – it’ll leave you feeling refreshed and ready for another day of city exploring.
