From here, it’s just a short stroll to the beach where lazy days can be spent on a lounger, embracing the waves and simply enjoying the uplifting spirit of southern Spain.

Single-Level Home

Sitting along the coast of Costa del Sol, this Duquesa apartment is the perfect setting for a relaxing getaway to southern Spain. You’ll have everything you need for a memorable stay here, from a light-filled space complete with plush furnishings to a balcony overlooking a sparkling freeform pool and a pristine beach just steps away. Start the day with a quick dip in the glistening water or settle into one of the poolside loungers to soak up the Andalusian rays. Then when it’s time to eat, dine alfresco on your private terrace – why not rustle up some tapas dishes in your dynamic kitchen? 

When you’re ready to explore further afield, you’ll find yourself within driving distance of Málaga city centre. Admire Picasso’s most famous paintings, take a stroll around Málaga Park, or enjoy a picnic on Playa la Malagueta, one of the region’s most famous beaches. Then, when you’re ready to call it a day, head back to your home oasis for a glass of sangria at sunset.

The kitchen is compact but fully equipped, and the bedrooms guarantee a good night’s rest. When you’re not dining alfresco or snoozing on a sun lounger, we recommend making a beeline for Colonia Beach, a six-minute walk away or taking a day trip to glamorous Marbella.

Nice to haves

Indulge in a sunkissed stay on the Andalusian coastline from this scenic spot in Castillo de la Duquesa. Located a short walk along the beach from Castillo fishing village and Duquesa Marina – you'll have the sun, sea and an abundance of serenity at your fingertips. 

With a large balcony terrace featuring outdoor seating and an alfresco dining area, there's no place to start your days with a coffee in hand while overlooking the sparkling seascape. But, this soothing corner is equally just as magical at sunset – watch as the sun paints the sky with balmy hues of pink and orange over the sea. 

Inside, the open-plan set-up invites you to chill out between beach days, and you'll find enough space to prepare your own meals at home – ideal for those on more extended stays. Head down to the lagoon-style swimming pool and resort's gardens for leisurely afternoons in the sunshine. From here, you'll have the local beach within walking distance, alongside the town's bars, restaurants and shops, all eagerly awaiting your discovery.

This apartment is located in the village of Casares, about half an hour northwest of Estepona and only a short drive from Sabinillas Beach. The terrace steals the show with panoramic views of Gibraltar and the coast of Africa. There’s a dining table and barbecue for alfresco meals and a comfortable seating area for reclining with a glass of something chilled. Inside, the place is simple yet functional, and while the bedrooms are basic, they’re certainly comfortable. 

Tangerine Sun

Indoor Pool

Stay right on the coast of Costa del Sol at this sleek apartment in Punta Chullera. It occupies a prime spot above the sands of Playa de las Arenas and wows with views from its long front terrace. 

The interiors are modern and coastal with rich aqua blues, sleek surfaces and plenty of light thanks to the sliding glass doors. We love the indoor-outdoor feel here – start the day with coffee on the plump sofa, enjoy leisurely breakfasts with loved ones alfresco and solitary moments meditating on the views from your bedroom balcony.

What’s more, there is an outdoor pool for the kids to enjoy, an indoor pool and sauna for when you want to indulge in some ‘you’ time, and a fully-equipped gym for those looking to keep on top of their fitness routine.
 
When you’re ready to explore, this location is hard to beat. Within minutes you could be on soft sands, launching a kayak or paddleboard, teeing off one of the local golf courses or hiking one of the local coastal trails.

Aqua Sands

Tennis Court

This elegant apartment on Spain’s Costa del Sol coast is perfect for those seeking a relaxing retreat in Andalusia. Our favourite spot is the expansive balcony that provides panoramic views from the coastline to the mountains – sink into your comfortable outdoor lounge as you sip a glass of sangria and flick through a magazine to start your holiday in style. 

Inside, the decor is elegant and minimal. Natural hues blend perfectly with sandy tones and the terracotta exterior to create a calm atmosphere. Pop open a bottle of your favourite Spanish wine and savour a tapas dinner in your refined dining room with the sliding doors open so you can make the most of that balmy evening heat. 

With communal pools and paddle tennis courts on-site, you’ll be spoilt for a choice of things to do – wake up in your soft sheets and head out for a few leisurely laps or why not challenge a loved one to a game on the asphalt? 

With pristine beaches, the Duquesa Marina and authentic restaurants on your doorstep, this home is a delightful base on the sunny Costa del Sol.

Courtyard

This lovely apartment in Estepona is bright and inviting, with a huge terrace that makes the most of the beautiful sea views. Just steps away from the beach, close to a golf course, waterpark, and set along a promenade of restaurants, cafes, and bars, this home is a great choice for a family getaway. 

We love this apartment's contemporary interior, with warm-toned low-hanging light fixtures setting the mood above the dining table and chic stools tucked into the breakfast bar. It's wonderfully sociable, where you can cook, eat, talk, and relax, all together in one room. The huge patio doors create a wonderful sense of indoor/outdoor living, inviting the Spanish sun to light up the home's bright walls. Both bedrooms have a patio door too – stepping straight onto your terrace and feeling the morning sun on your face is the perfect wake-up call.

It's the spacious terrace that's the main talking point here. We love how there's enough space to eat meals alfresco around the dining table as well as a comfortable outdoor sofa and loungers to soak up the Costa del Sol sun. Spend lazy mornings sipping fresh coffee while looking out at the calm Mediterranean Sea before heading downstairs to the pool. Lounge around, catching up on your holiday read, before taking a dip in the waters to cool off.

Located on the iconic Costa del Sol coastline, you’ll find yourself sipping sangria in the plush outdoor lounge, soaking up the Mediterranean vistas from your terrace, and waking up from your soft sheets with the sunshine streaming through the floor-to-ceiling windows of your neutral-hued bedroom. 

Everything you might need for a relaxing stay is right at your fingertips. The modern kitchen is a chef’s delight and the inviting lounge, complete with plush furnishings and coastal tones, is perfect for sociable evenings. Outdoors, there’s an outdoor sofa for you to stretch out on with your holiday read and an alfresco dining set for tapas dinners. What’s more, you’ll have access to the resort’s sparkling pool – it’s the perfect place to soak up the rays and sip an icy glass of sangria. 

Golfers will be pleased to learn that the fairways of Dona Julia Golf Club are a short walk away. When you’re seeking sand, Playa Chica and Playa Ancha are a few minutes away by car – grab your towel and enjoy a paddle in the clear waters of the Mediterranean.

The Costa del Sol Breeze

This modern abode invites you to experience the ultimate water sports vacation, with Alcazaba Lagoon in Estepona just footsteps away. Overlooking tropical gardens, the apartment offers a functional and modern corner of relaxation, making it the ideal set-up for a small family or group of friends. The terrace lounge presents a particularly tranquil spot to sit and read or enjoy your morning coffee. Amid this nature-filled setting, you'll have direct access to paddle surfing, kayaking and paddle boating on the lagoon. Plus, you'll find saunas, jacuzzis and beach restaurants for more relaxed moments, alongside an outdoor pool and playground for children in Alcazaba village. Plus, Estepona's town centre and marina are reachable in just fifteen minutes by car. 



Calle Glamour

Surrounded by the majestic Andalusian mountains, this home lives and breathes with its environment. It’s the perfect setting to experience the warmth and beauty of authentic Spanish living. 

Set within a private countryside estate and comprised of three separate buildings, the space is anchored by its connection to the landscape. And as soon as you arrive, you’ll want to savour its striking presence. The interiors abound with natural sophistication and elegance, inspiring you to slow down and savour the details that make this home special. Like the vaulted ceilings and centuries-old wood beams or the sun–kissed hues and effortless styling. Wherever you find yourself in this home, there's something beautiful to admire. 

Days can be spent flowing seamlessly between the indoor and outdoor spaces. From early morning walks through the trees in the garden to lively gatherings around the table, there’s a quality of openness and freedom here that feels inspiring. You’ll also find a building dedicated to your wellbeing – complete with its own swimming pool, sauna and fitness room this is the perfect spot to experience the rejuvenating spirit of this villa. 

From here you can explore some of the traditional white–washed Spanish pueblos, or the beaches of Estepona are only a thirty–minute drive away. Wherever the day takes you, this home is a sanctuary that takes care of you.

This fabulous Spanish apartment has it all – modern interiors, fantastic amenities and bags of space for all four of you to stretch out and relax. We absolutely adore the balcony dining area, where you can gaze at the sea in the distance while you enjoy tucking into tasty tapas or sharing a pitcher of cocktails. You also have a lovely lounge area for when you want to put your feet up. 

A stay here means you’ll also have access to the resort that the home sits on – you’ll enjoy use of a stunning outdoor pool where you can stay cool, plus a man-made lagoon with water activities that are included in your stay, along with a sandy shore so you can enjoy all the fun of the beach right on your doorstep. There’s a gym and sauna for when you want to work up a sweat, plus some gorgeous wooden hot tubs that make for a fab place to watch the sunset. You’ll also find restaurants and bars where you can get a cold glass of sangria in a vibrant atmosphere.

When you want to venture out further, Estepona sits just a short drive away, where you can find a beautiful beach as well as many quaint cafes and friendly bars.


Spanish Sapphire

Rain Shower

Perched beside a turquoise-blue lagoon with the sand beneath your feet, we'd forgive you for thinking you'd landed on Caribbean shores. But this luxurious resort-style apartment complex is closer than you think – set back from the beaches of Estepona in sun-dappled Andalucia.

Set within nine acres of exotic grounds, this newly-built complex has got rest and reset written all over it. Laze away the day bobbing about the freshwater lagoon stretching over a hectare wide (100 metres away) or beside the shared pools. Fancy upping the ante? Try watersports on the lagoon, wall climbing for the kids, a workout in the shared gym, or tee off from one of the eight golf courses nearby.

When tummies rumble, grab a table at one of two on-site restaurants or jump in the car to blaze a trail down to Estepona Beach. The seafront chiringuitos serving the freshest seafood imaginable are an evening well spent.

Back home at this south-facing apartment, everywhere feels fresh and inviting, with immaculate, contemporary interiors. But it's outside on that vast, sea-facing terrace where we think you'll spend most of your time. It's the perfect spot for alfresco morning coffees, champagne sundowners and everything else in between.

Swoon Lagoon

Enjoy a serene stay at this smart and stylish apartment, based in Celere Doña Julia, close to the golf course and just a short walk to the sea. This home features modern and minimalistic style, with a black and white colour scheme that runs throughout, with touches of colour from the artwork and plants. A stay here means you’ll have a gorgeous sea view, and you’ll also benefit from access to the complex’s fantastic facilities, including the outdoor pool and contemporary gym facilities.

We recommend you spend each morning sipping on a mimosa out on your balcony as you watch the sunrise over the ocean. Come inside and cook up a delicious Spanish breakfast of huevos rotos, and dine all together around your lovely dining set – or, eat alfresco on your balcony if you’d like to take in more of the views. Head down to the shared gym to work up a sweat, and then enjoy a refreshing dip in the communal outdoor pool to cool off. Head out to explore the many beaches on this coastline, or visit friendly restaurants and vibrant bars in town. When you return, pop open a bottle of Cava to enjoy on your balcony, and share a toast to your getaway while the sky turns pink.

With the Sierra Bermeja mountain range as your backdrop and the bustle of Estepona's beach and restaurant scene just a ten-minute stroll away, the setting of this stylish apartment is impressive. Though with palm-fringed pools and hotel-worthy amenities back at this apartment complex, you may decide to stay put. The on-site restaurant and pool bar will be handy for morning coffees, champagne sundowners and everything else in between. Or take things back to the privacy of your terrace for an alfresco sunset supper.

Sierra Sunsets

Outdoor Shower

Located on a resort on the outskirts of Estepona, this apartment lies in a private village with a plethora of communal facilities to make your stay special. Choose from water sports in the lagoon, taking a dip in the communal pool, dining at one of the beach restaurants or unwinding in the shared saunas and Jacuzzis. Even if you're staying indoors, there's space in the garden for sunbathing and in the sunroom for enjoying a home-cooked meal. Although communal facilities are within walking distance, we recommend having a car for visiting Marbella and Estepona's city centre, as well as the nearby golf course.

Heaven on the Hill

Set in a small complex in Estepona, this modern apartment is just a short walk from the sandy shoreline of Playa de la Rada Beach. The town's restaurants and bars are also within walking distance, so you'll be well-placed for a stress-free stay. You'll find an indoor pool and a large outdoor pool lined with sun loungers, plus a gym, that invites you to spend a day or two relaxing at home. With impressive sea views and plenty of outside seating, the private terrace is a real standout too. All in all, it ticks a lot of the right boxes when it comes to a comfortable group getaway. 

Go to the Beach

Dryer

Right in the heart of Estepona, this apartment is just 300 metres from the beach. From your doorstep, you can explore the warren of picture-perfect streets in this historic coastal city, packed with restaurants and bars galore. Up on the third floor, there’s quite the view from the private balcony – over the rooftops to the sea. If you’re not using the double sofa bed in the living room, it feels pretty spacious inside with a full kitchen for all your self-catering needs. The added bonus is the shared rooftop pool at the top of the building and access to a shared gym, sauna and lounge. 

Heart of the South

This immaculate apartment just four kilometres from the golden shores of Estepona had us on that vast sea-facing terrace alone. And that was before we'd even clapped eyes on the palm-strewn shared pools and turquoise-blue lagoon at the apartment complex's heart. 

Inside, the apartment is fresh and inviting, with bright pops of colour keeping everything uplifting. And you'll love how light-filled the bedrooms feel, each with its own bathroom for a little extra privacy. 

But it's the dizzying array of shared facilities to rival a five-star hotel that's getting us hot under the collar. Get your mornings off to an adrenaline-fuelled start at the lagoon (100 metres away) for paddle boarding, windsurfing and general splashing about. Back on dry land, kids can try wall climbing with an on-site instructor while you bank a workout in the gym. And when it's time to get back together and relax, the shared swimming pools and hot tubs are ready and waiting.

When thoughts turn to food, you can always zip back upstairs to the apartment for alfresco lunch on that sublime terrace. But if you'd rather not cook, the on-site restaurants overlooking the lagoon are just the ticket. Or head down to Estepona seafront for a sunset meal – there's a chiringuito with a table on the sand waiting just for you. 

Be More Kahlo

Private Pool

Elevate your every day with a stay at this luxurious penthouse fringed by nine acres of exotic communal gardens and just four kilometres from the golden shores of Estepona.

Set within an exclusive resort-style apartment complex, expect glistening shared pools, a turquoise-blue lagoon and beach, a communal gym, and children's facilities, including a climbing wall. But let's face it – with your own infinity pool back up on that rooftop and with views that dazzling, we suspect you'll be spending a lot of time back at this ultra-swish pad instead.

You can easily see day turn to night from this home's vast, impressive terrace. Sunny mornings call for freshly brewed coffees on the outdoor sofas before gathering your ensemble around the alfresco dining table for lazy brunch (and perhaps a mimosa or two). Then the rest of the day is yours to hop between that cool, blue pool and shady terrace. And while the seafront restaurants of Estepona are never far away when thoughts turn to seafood plates and a glass of something crisp, those jaw-dropping sunset views from your private deck over cocktails and barbecues may be just too good to resist. 

Clear Waters

Heated Towel Rail

Sauna / Steam Room

Enjoy a stunning stay at this ocean-view apartment, based just a short stroll from the beach in La Paloma de Manilva. This home features modern style, with luxe furniture and contemporary artwork that make it feel fresh and new. We love the grey and white colour scheme speckled with teal touches. You’ll also have access to the complex’s fantastic shared facilities, including the gym, sauna, indoor pool, outdoor pool and gardens.

Wake up after a great night’s sleep in your comfy bed, and head straight out onto your balcony from your bedroom – both have direct access. You can watch the sunrise over the ocean while you drink your coffee. Head down to the communal gym and sauna to work up a sweat before cooling off in the indoor pool – the perfect way to start your day. Head up to your apartment to cook up some Spanish scrambled eggs, and tuck in around your stylish dining set. As the sun peaks in the sky, head down to the shared outdoor pool to splash around in the sunshine, or make your way to the nearby beaches to cool off in the ocean. Then, as the day comes to a close, share a toast on your balcony dining set as you watch the sky turn pink.

The Blue Eagle

Situated in a resort on the Costa del Sol, this apartment suits a family looking for a fuss-free break in the sunshine. The home is equipped with all the essentials, so drop your bags and settle in as soon as you arrive. There’s a balcony for dinner and drinks, but if you’d prefer to hang up your chef’s hat, you’ll find a restaurant on-site. Guests staying here also have access to swimming pools, hot tubs, a gym and a lagoon. Location-wise, Arroyo Vaquero Beach and the town of Estepona are a short drive away.

Sun to Moon

This home's lush garden and central location in a popular Costa del Sol resort combine to create a hidden oasis for you and your guests to retreat to after a day at the nearby beach, hidden away by large plants. With plenty of bathrooms, there will be no holdup in the mornings, while the pool has plenty of sun loungers for everyone. Bedrooms open up onto the garden and upstairs terrace, meaning you're never more than a few seconds from the sun. In the evenings, you might like to try out the home's hot tub, although this comes with an added fee. Nearby, you'll find sandy beaches and shops within walking distance.

A Gateway to the Mediterranean

Taken in and of itself, we'd be quite impressed by this ground-floor apartment in Estepona. The huge windows and glass doors let in ample amounts of Andalusian sunshine, an asset that's only accentuated by the bright colour palette that rarely veers away from whites and neutrals. We've only got kind words for the minimalist kitchen, as well as the similarly chic bedrooms and bathrooms that also cut out unnecessary accoutrements. To top it all off, there's a private garden in which to catch some rays during summer afternoons.

However, what really sets this home apart from others is the incredible communal amenities available throughout the rest of the resort. Across ten acres of landscaped grounds, you'll find everything from a lagoon with its own sandy beach and a pair of restaurants to a sauna, hot tubs and a well-equipped gym.

Although you could just as easily keep yourself entertained without ever having to leave the site, it would be a crying shame given the wealth of attractions to be discovered in the surrounding Costa del Sol. Estepona's town centre and beach are only 4km away, while there's a huge number of golf courses easily reached by car.

It's Going to be a Good Day

Situated in the coastal town of Manilva, a ten-minute drive from Sabinillas Beach, this penthouse apartment guarantees a restful family holiday. The private terrace provides views of the Mediterranean Sea and is equipped for alfresco dining. Inside, the place has everything you need to feel right at home, and although we think the kitchen could do with an update, it’s well-appointed. Best of all, there is a communal swimming pool on the premises for keeping cool in the summer. 


Sunbeam Serenade

This sleek and stylish holiday apartment boasts a private balcony with space for alfresco dining and gorgeous sea views. Purpose-built for rentals, there aren't a lot of soft furnishings here and it's not the most soulful home. But there's a range of communal amenities to keep you entertained whether you're travelling as a family or friends, with two large swimming pools – one indoors so you can swim whatever the weather – and a well-equipped gym. La Rada Beach can be reached on foot, but there's free parking on the premises so you don't have to rely on public transport.

Stylish Getaway

Situated on a modern Mediterranean resort, this penthouse apartment provides an idyllic break away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Modern and chic in design, step through the door and you’ll find a space with elegance and class seeping from its walls. Bathed in light through the towering windows, it's a tranquil haven. In the evenings, stroll out onto the terrace and indulge in a glass of wine as the sun sets on the horizon. With views spanning across the Spanish countryside to the sea, it’s a truly magical sight. 

With nature at heart, the surroundings will set your soul on fire. With so much on your doorstep, start your days with a coffee in hand, soaking up the Spanish sun from the comfort of your lounger as you plan for the day ahead. For fitness enthusiasts, your ideal start may be a trip to the on-site gym. If you’re travelling with children, there’s plenty to entertain the whole family – with activities from kayaking on the blissful lagoon to scaling the climbing wall, there’s something for everyone. However you spend your days, they’ll be full of fantastic memories to be cherished for years to come.

Conveniently located 150 metres from Playa Beach and within walking distance of the old town, this apartment guarantees a fuss-free stay in Estepona. The home enjoys sea views – particularly from the private balcony, where you can see Gibraltar and Morocco on clear days. Best of all, guests staying here have access to a communal pool, which is open all year round. The place itself is clutter-free and well-equipped, so you’ll be able to drop your bags and start living the Costa del Sol way of life.

Sand & Shimmer

Take in the sea glimpses from this apartment’s private, spacious roof terrace – there’s room for sunbathing, barbecuing and dining, as well as cocktail drinking on the sofas. Or head through the communal gardens to the shared pool for a refreshing dip. Inside, there are vistas of the wooded hillside, and we love that both bedrooms open out onto the terrace. This home is situated in the Costa del Sol countryside, near a golf course, while Casares and Estepona are a short drive away.

Orange Bliss

Blender

When you're looking for a stay abroad, sometimes you desire a home with real wow factor. The sort of home you tell everyone about after you're trip (or maybe don't to avoid them booking it). This is one of those homes. Quite literally taking walking distance to the beach to a new level, this house in Southern Spain boasts direct access to 8km of unspoiled coastline. Within a matter of steps, you can have your feet touching warm sand. Wake up early and enjoy sipping your café con leche on the terrace while admiring the morning golden light dancing on the sea before spending the rest of the morning strolling along the promenade. It's the ideal place to spend some quality time with your loved one. If salt water isn't your thing, then you'll be glad to know there's a communal swimming pool in the wider complex shared with other residents.

While this home is a destination you won't want to leave (especially when the sun sets over the Costa del Sol), the resort town of Estepona is only a quick drive away. You'll love exploring its whitewashed old town and traditional cobbled streets in the evenings when you're looking to soak up vibrant life. Dine on local cuisine and drink authentic Tinto de Verano cocktails before being called back to your seaside paradise.



Called by The Sea

Wake up to dazzling sea and mountain views each and every day at this luxurious apartment perched with nine acres of exotic communal gardens and turquoise-blue lagoons.

Set just four kilometres away from Estepona's golden shores and picturesque beachfront chiringuitos, you could easily while away the day by the sea. However, you may find all you need is back at this resort-style apartment complex. 

With enough amenities to rival a five-star hotel, this place has it all going on. Start your day with cooling dips in the shared pools, or head down to the hectare-wide artificial lagoon fringed by sandy shores to try out the impressive water sports. If you're feeling peckish, the on-site restaurants, one of which overlooks the lagoon, should do very nicely. Or nip back to your apartment – that vast and oh-so-private terrace has lazy lunches written all over it. And the impressive designer kitchen inside has everything you could need to rustle up Mediterranean-inspired plates. 

And whilst we could happily rave on about the light-filled, pristine interiors, really, it's the show-stopping views that are the clincher here. And if you're impressed now, just wait until nightfall when the lights of the mountain casas flicker on, and the stars come out to play.

Surrounded by pine forest, less than 5 kilometres from the typical Andalusian village of Casares, this villa encourages a family or group of friends to spend quality time together. When you’re in the mood for sand and sea, the Costa del Sol’s beaches are a twenty-minute drive away. Back at home, there’s a private pool in the garden and a roof terrace for sunbathing. The rustic interiors may not be to everyone’s taste, but the views of Morrocco’s coastline clear day more than make up for it.

Andalusian Pine

Bicycles

This modern and stylish apartment is an ideal base for enjoying a relaxing holiday on Spain’s famous, sunny coast. Located in the heart of the popular resort town of Estepona, the place benefits from plenty of space, a bright interior, and close proximity to the beach – it’ll take just a seven-minute stroll before you can dip your toe in the clear blue water.
 
The apartment is filled with a lot of natural light, courtesy of the large windows, and we love the plush, comfy furnishings, which invite you to snuggle up and enjoy laid-back evenings of Spanish wine and conversation, or cosy movie nights. The sparkling kitchen may be small in scale, but it has everything you need to rustle up a delicious meal, to be savoured either in the dining area or on the balcony. 

The bedrooms carry the promise of a restful night’s sleep, thanks to the soft beds and bright ambience, and you’ll find yourself spoiled by the spa-like feel of the bathrooms. 

The building itself has all you need to make your stay extra special – a rooftop pool with breathtaking views over the city, a sauna, a gym, and a large communal workspace in case you need some alone time to catch up on work. 


Days in the Sun

EV Charger

An ideal base for those looking for a fuss-free stay, this apartment offers a wide range of added amenities to enjoy. Set on a complex, you'll have access to several outdoor pools, sunbathing areas, padel courts, gyms, an on-site restaurant and a shop. The home itself is modern and functional, with a private terrace that serves as a laidback spot for evening sundowners after fun-filled days. With so much on offer, there's really no need to leave the grounds – though if you do feel like exploring the area, Puerto Banus is a ten-minute taxi, while Marbella's town centre is easily reachable by car.

Elevated Retreat

Whether you’re staying as a family or a group of friends, this apartment on the grounds of a golf course is the ideal place to spend quality time together. The private terrace, with views of the Mediterranean Sea, is furnished for outdoor dining. And when you need to cool off, make a beeline for the communal swimming pool. Plus, there’s a children’s area for the little ones to let off some steam. If you’d like to explore the wider area, Arroyo Vaquero Beach and the heart of Estepona are a short car ride away.

The Magic Flame

Desk / Workplace

Set over two floors, this seaside escape makes the most of the Costa del Sol’s famed sunshine, with an impressive terrace and a charming balcony running alongside both bedrooms. The interior offers an aesthetic that’s one-part beachy cool, one-part contemporary chic, with a monochrome colour scheme invigorated by pops of vibrance and old-world touches (we particularly love the dramatic rattan lampshade). 

On your pretty flagstone terrace, you can take in views across tropical palms and rooftops, all the way to the bright blue ocean, while the barbecue stands ready to grill up dinner – best served at sunset with a jug of Sangria. Nearby Estepona was made for resort living, so you’ll have plenty to explore both day and night, although with the beach just a few minutes’ walk away, we feel you may end up there each and every day.

Located in the town of Gaucin, in the province of Malaga, Andalucia, this penthouse apartment offers some truly incredible panoramic views. Each morning, you will wake up in this bright home with its terracotta floors and Tiffany-blue doors and want to step out onto the terrace immediately to enjoy the soft breeze. On the southern terrace, you can admire views of the Mediterranean on the horizon and a valley that stretches out before you as you enjoy an alfresco breakfast, sipping fresh jugo de naranja. 

Spend your days sunbathing on the rooftop and cooling off in your private plunge pool, or head out and explore the outskirts of the village. In the evening, the northern terrace of the home is the ideal spot to enjoy an alfresco dinner or a jug of sangria as you take in the views of Gaucin, the Guadiaro valley, and the Sierra del Hacho.
