Soothing Blue

Soothing Blue: Andalusia

Located in Estepona on the Costa del Sol, this bright and breezy apartment is full of coastal charm. A neutral colour palette, brightened by pops of blue, helps to create a tranquil atmosphere, reflective of the scene outside the window. We love the floor-to-ceiling glass that runs along one wall, effortlessly flooding the space with natural light and bringing the outdoors in – the sea and mountain views alone will have you itching to get out and explore this picturesque port city. For the ultimate start to your day, rustle up a spot of breakfast, grab a cold juice, and head out onto your balcony to dine alfresco. With the ocean breeze brushing over your skin and the Spanish sun glistening off the water, you’ll feel utterly relaxed and completely at home.

When it’s time to explore, it’s just a short 100-metre stroll to the beach of Playa del Cristo – don your floppy sun hat and settle down on the sand for an afternoon of people-watching and wave-catching. If you’ve had enough beach time, a stroll around the whitewashed old town may be right up your alley, where you can enjoy a spot of local cuisine followed by a walk along the palm-lined promenade, the Paseo Marítimo, to burn off some calories.
