Located on Marbella's Golden Mile, this home is ideal for a gang of friends or families with slightly older kids who want some time in the sun – the balcony especially stands out as an inviting spot to mingle. We think the stylish interior speaks for itself, while the resort's pool is a rarity in the area – along with its palm trees it offers an inviting alternative to the sea. And for the cherry on top, you'll find the beach just a stone's throw away, along with plenty of bars and restaurants.

Home truths:
*There’s free parking here
*The entrance to this resort is shared with the building's other residents
*Though there isn't a dedicated desk here, the dining table doubles up as a laptop-friendly workspace
*The swimming pool isn't fenced, so children will need to be supervised at all times
