You'll find this stylish flat just seven minutes on foot from the famous Las Canteras Beach. Whether you fancy sunbathing all day, swimming in the pristine waters or trying your hand at surfing and snorkelling, it's perfectly positioned for a day by the seaside.

After a dip in the ocean, stroll along the waterfront promenade packed full of boutique shops and delicious eateries and grab an ice cream or papas arrugadas. If you're in the mood to cook, swing by Mercado del Puerto (a six-minute stroll away) and pick up some fresh parrotfish, local cheese and a bottle of vino.

Head back to your Las Palmas pad and rustle up a dinner to remember in the sleek kitchen. As home chefs get down to business, others can wind down with a glass of wine or a refreshing lemonade in the internal courtyard and plan the next's days adventures. When it's time to tuck in, gather around the white dining table for tasty tapas, sweet sangria and good conversation. We love how the breezy, open-plan layout encourages socialising, while the calm atmosphere and unfussy design sets you up perfectly for a laid-back holiday in the sun.
