The Carnival

This is one of those apartments that just makes you alive. Vivid colours brighten the open-plan living space, which perfectly marries a cosy sofa area with beach bar vibes at the kitchen stools. It's a decor that makes you appreciate that you're really on holiday.

The bright blue stools of the kitchen are the ideal spot to eat breakfast in the morning or share a bottle of wine in the evening. For snug nights in, curl up on the sofa with a book or relax with a film in the background.

Whilst the living space is a chill haven to spend your days, you didn't come to Las Palmas to stay inside. If you're visiting during the warmer months, you're just an eight-minute walk to the gorgeous Las Canteras Beach. On your way there, you'll pass Parque de Santa Catalina – the home of live performances, cultural activities and festivals.

If that's not your vibe, visit the cute restaurants and bars along the harbour, watching the ships pass through. For the golfing fanatics, the lush greens of Las Palmeras Golf are just a five-minute drive away.

* The bus station is just a four-minute walk away
* The apartment is on the third floor and there is an elevator in the building to transport you between floors
