The private terrace with views of the mountains and communal gardens caught our eye at this apartment in the upmarket mountain village of Benahavis. Perfect for two couples sharing, each light-filled bedroom has a private bathroom to speed your mornings along, and you can't fault the smart, modern interiors. For a change of scene, the shared swimming pool should do nicely or stroll into Benahavis for an evening meal – there are restaurants just two hundred metres from your door. For beach days and rounds of golf, you'll need a car – but it's all just a short drive away.
