This breezy apartment is has everything you need for a sweet seaside stay in Benalmádena. Walk to the palm-lined sandy Playa de Santa Ana in under five minutes for blissful days spent sunbathing, swimming and frisbee throwing along the beach. Come evening, wander down to the sparkling Puerto Marina, glistening with moored yachts and hip bars – the perfect setting for sundown cocktails by the ocean. Better still, step out onto your private sun-drenched terrace and enjoy alfresco dining from the comfort of your own home – it's complete with traditional terracotta tiles, comfy seating, slatted screens for added privacy and sea views in the distance. We can think of nothing better than a warm summer evening spent out here with friends, family and good conversation as the water glistens on the horizon. Back inside, escape the midday heat and put your feet up in the breezy living space with nautical blue tones, tropical artwork and minimalist furnishings. It's a fresh and functional spot to unwind with a magazine, whip up a few lite bites in the kitchen and generally chill out – just ensure you bookmark the day with a glass of sangria on that terrace.
