If you choose this charming penthouse apartment in Málaga's centre, you'll likely spend most of your time on the spectacular rooftop. Boasting views over the city and fully decked out with inviting seating and a dining table, this outdoor oasis will make you feel on top of the world – literally. We can't imagine a dreamier spot to soak up the Spanish sun.

That's not to say the inside space isn't worth writing home about. Cool, contemporary and bright, the split-level abode is as comfortable as it is stylish. Wicker and rattan details bring a fresh, beachy mood, while pale grey and washed wood furniture feel inspired by Scandinavian design. On cooler evenings, stretch out on the sofa, sip sangria and watch the sun set behind neighbouring buildings.

The nearest beach is 2 kilometres away, while on your doorstep you'll find a colourful assortment of bars, restaurants and shops to pick up unique souvenirs. We highly recommend a visit to the Museo Picasso Málaga – this is the iconic artist's birthplace, after all.
