Located just north of the historic centre and just a few streets from The Museo Picasso Málaga, this contemporary home is the perfect spot to embrace Málaga and provide a bright and airy retreat you’ll want to return home to after a day exploring the city’s galleries and boutiques.

The coastal mentality of this location is effortlessly mirrored in the fresh and laid-back interior of this home – think bright open spaces, a crisp white colour palette and framed glass walls. Whether you’re preparing a quick breakfast in your sleek and dynamic kitchen, hitting send on that last email from the glass dining table, or sharing a glass of sangria on the sun-soaked balcony, this apartment has been designed to bring a sense of ease to your city stay.

Step outside and soak up the neighbourhood energy before setting off for a day of gallery hopping – our picks are Centre Pompidou Málaga and Museum Jorge Rando for their contemporary, Expressionist and Cubist artworks. Make sure to indulge in gambas al pil-pil and paella along the way. End the evening with a stroll along Playa la Malagueta – this is the Costa del Sol, after all.
