Set within walking distance of Marbella's sandy shores and with a shared swimming pool just a flip-flop from your door, you’ve got the best of both worlds at this Nueva Andalucia apartment. Part of a smart, low-rise holiday complex, there are local restaurants just a stroll away and a little further, glitzy Puerto Banus Marina. If we were being picky, compared to the main bedroom that leads onto the private terrace, the view from the second bedroom isn’t the most inspiring. But the rest of the interiors are faultless, and the enclosed private garden with a dining area for barbecues is an added perk.

Home truths:
*There is free garage parking within the apartment building.
*You'll have access to the on-site swimming pool and tennis courts here. They're shared with the building's other residents.
*The view from the second bedroom isn’t the most inspiring.
