Overlooking the shores of the Costa del Sol and the boats bobbing in the marina of Puerto de Cabopino, this welcoming apartment invites you to relax and recharge on its sun-soaked balconies in the company of family and friends.

Set over several levels, the apartment is flooded with natural light throughout. From the large picture windows and balcony off the contemporary living area and kitchen, all the way up to the top-floor terrace, it's been designed to make the most of the glorious weather and enviable location.

Sip a quiet morning coffee sitting out on the comfortable outdoor sofas, making the most of the clear morning air to gaze towards Gibraltar and Morocco's north coast. With the mercury, rising take a stroll down to the complex's two swimming pools or wander along wooden walkways through the unique Dunas de Artola nature reserve en route to the family-friendly Cabopino beach. For an entirely different perspective, why not rent a boat from the marina and explore the secluded coves and beaches that line the coast towards Marbella in one direction or Mijas in the other?

Return in time to catch the sun setting over the coastal mountains at a beachfront bar, before striking out in search of a seafood supper at any of the nearby restaurants. Those in search of traditional tapas might want to check out Marbella's often-overlooked Old Town, while the iconic Puente Romano offers Michelin-starred fine dining on an entirely different level.
