This sumptuously modern and bright apartment is located north of the historic centre and tucked between the hill of Mount Gibralfaro and El Ejido. Just a short walk from the city's sparkling Mediterranean waters and cultural hotspots, this is an idyllic spot for a memorable getaway on the Costa del Sol coastline.

Inside, you'll find everything you need to cook up regional tapas in the sleek and minimalist kitchen, though we think you’ll want to make the most of Malaga’s local eateries. We suggest starting your mornings on the balcony, sipping a freshly brewed coffee and admiring the buzzy streets below. The open-plan living area is the perfect spot to kick back in and enjoy a glass of locally-produced dessert wine, whilst the pared-back bedroom invites you to enjoy a restful night’s sleep.

Immerse yourself in the Andalusian culture – explore the historical sites of the Phoenician city and the 1st-century BC Roman theatre, then immerse yourself in the contemporary scene with a visit to the Pompidou Centre. Then, head to the marina for an array of lively bars, delicious restaurants and charming boutiques.
