Morning strolls along Las Canteras Beach become part of the new routine at this smart studio apartment perched just 20 metres from the capital’s sandy shores. Part of a newly built apartment complex, this contemporary home has been thoughtfully designed to make the most of the studio space. Floor-to-ceiling windows reveal a glimpse of the sea, and the bedroom area is cleverly zoned to give a little separation. The only thing this place doesn’t offer is outdoor space. But with the beach, seafront bars, and restaurants so close, don’t let that be the deal breaker.

Home truths:
*Your host asks you to contact them a week before arrival to inform them of your arrival time to arrange key collection.
* You’ll share an entrance to the apartment building. This apartment is located on the fourth floor, and you’ll have shared lift access.
*If you're travelling for work, you won't find a dedicated desk here. However, the dining table doubles up as a laptop-friendly workspace.
*This home does not accept groups of young people (up to 23 years).
*Your nearest supermarket to pick up essentials is just 20 metres from your door.
