Perched right on the beachfront of Puerto Banus, this swish apartment is made for soaking up the Andalucian sunshine, spending days building sandcastles and dipping your feet in the sea. It's just 50 metres to the soft sand of Playa Puerto Banus, and a short walk to restaurants, supermarkets and bars. If you don't fancy the 50-metre walk, perhaps just pad barefoot down to the complex's communal swimming pool, lined with loungers.

Back at the apartment, you've got a bright, open living area in cream and white. During the day this place is flooded with sunlight, thanks to floor-to-ceiling windows. The dining table enjoys a sunny window spot, perfect for breakfast. Then there's the little private terrace off the main bedroom. The group can gather for cocktails out here at the wooden table and chairs. That's if you're not heading down to the beach for a sundowner with coastline views.
