Sunbeam Dream

As the name very much suggests, Costa del Sol receives its fair share of sunshine. As such, when picking somewhere to stay in the region, you'll want somewhere with plenty of spots for enjoying this bountiful natural asset and this apartment in Marbella more than delivers on that front.

Step out through the glass doors and you're greeted with a terrace that's almost as large as the interior itself. Here, there's everything from loungers and rattan furniture to an alfresco dining table under a pergola, all with a view of the Andalusian countryside or the communal swimming pool. That's right, the building has its very own pool in which to have a refreshing paddle during the hottest part of the afternoon.

There's plenty to like about what lies behind the apartment's four walls, as well. The large glass windows and doors bring in lots of natural light, which flows about the open-concept layout of the large living area. There's an elegance to the stark white walls and shiny tiling underfoot, as well as the glossy kitchen and bathroom.

When it comes to seeing a little more of the local area, it only takes just over five minutes to reach the golden sands of Playa el Pinillo by car, while the bright lights of central Marbella are under a quarter of an hour away. The surrounding region is well served by golf courses and hiking routes, too.
