Bougainvillea & Sea Salt Marbella, Andalusia

Property Description

This charming apartment is the best of both worlds: it’s up in the hills of Andalucia, yet just a short drive from the long stretches of sandy beach and buzzing centre of glitzy Marbella. The closest sandy beach is 2.7 kilometres away and it’s a 5-kilometre drive into the centre of Marbella.

But there’s plenty to keep you entertained on hot days at the apartment itself. Guests here can enjoy access to the complex’s shared swimming pool, surrounded by palm trees. There’s also a terrace with loungers to soak up the rays. In the privacy of your own apartment, head out to the terrace where you’ve got a view over the terracotta rooftops to the sparkling sea beyond. There’s outdoor dining, a comfy sofa and a couple of sun loungers out here to make the most of sunny days.

Inside, the living room is a Scandi-chic medley of minimalism, keeping the space breezy and cool. There’s loads of room in the open-plan living and dining room. In the full kitchen, you’ve got a cute little bistro set by the window which acts as a sunny spot for breakfast. There’s no tossing a coin for the main bedroom either as both bedrooms have their own doors out to the terrace.
