Bejewelled Marbella, Andalusia

Property Description

Tucked between the Sierra de Ronda mountain range, the glittering Costa del Sol coast, and the glamour of Marbella, the location of this apartment is hard to beat. Throw in an impossibly chic interior, a sunny garden, and access to the private resort’s communal swimming pools, and we’re onto a winner.

Every corner of this home has been thoughtfully curated to exude stylish elegance. From the touches of marble to the unique light fixtures, it’s clear your host has an eye for interior design. But it’s still a wonderfully liveable space – the large, well-equipped kitchen is one that demands to be cooked in, the plush sofa is the perfect spot for cuddling up in front of the fireplace, and the chic dining table invites sociable group meals.

We love the interior, but when the sun’s shining, the place you’ll want to be is in your suntrap garden. Start off your mornings with a fresh coffee around the outdoor sofa set, chatting about the days ahead. Catch some rays on your daybed, getting lost in your holiday read, before heading over to the shared pool for a quick dip to cool off. Better yet – walk the short 300 metres to the beach for an afternoon of sea and sand.

When talk turns to dinner, hop in a car to the upmarket restaurants of Marbella or find a cosy traditional spot in the Old Town. If you feel like staying home for the evening, pick up local produce from the nearby supermarket and grill up a Mediterranean feast on the barbecue. Enjoy an evening of good food, sangria, and light-hearted conversation, while the outdoor lights twinkle above you.
