This pretty, whitewashed apartment on the Costa del Sol has beautiful views and chic modern interiors. Cream furniture and pops of plant life create an elegant living space, which leads out onto a large terrace with plenty of areas to relax in the sun and shade. Start the day with breakfast on the terrace while you soak up the view of the mountains. The apartment is surrounded by perfectly manicured shared lawns which the kids will love running around on, before a dip in the residents’ communal pool.

You could easily spend your day admiring the gardens and splashing around in the water, but there’s plenty to explore nearby too. The house is 2 kilometres from the famous Los Naranjas Golf Resort, with an excellent 18-hole course, and also 5 kilometres from Playa Puerto Banus, a beautiful sandy beach with crystalline waters. When you arrive home there’s no better place for sunset than your terrace, complete with a barbecue for alfresco dinners.
