Just a few footsteps from the beach, a spot on the Costa del Sol doesn’t get much better than this. As well as a two-minute walk to the soft-sanded Saladillo Beach for a cooling dip in the sea, you’ve got access to a shared swimming pool too. Along the beachfront, you’ve got a buzzing boardwalk lined with shops, restaurants and bars. Or, head to the glitzy town of Marbella, just a twenty-minute drive up the coast.

The apartment itself feels traditionally southern Spanish with crisp white walls and dark-wood accents inside. The sleek white kitchen has everything you need for self-catering and the living area is a stylish and charming spot to put your feet up at the end of the day. Our favourite place has to be the private terrace, furnished with a dining table, covered by a wooden ceiling and looking out over the rustling palm trees.
