Hazey Days

Hazey Days: Andalusia

Escape to Marbella's ultra-exclusive Golden Mile and stay in this cool, contemporary apartment in a gorgeous resort-style coastal community. Inside, you'll be greeted by a monochrome masterpiece, with industrial-inspired steel framed furniture and statement lighting warmed by natural wooden accents throughout the stunning open-plan living area.

However, the rooftop terrace is the real standout feature here. Climb the stairs to this scenic space each morning with a coffee in hand and gaze out over Gibraltar. On clear days you might even catch a glimpse of the north coast of Morocco. Sun yourself beneath cloudless skies with a revitalising outdoor shower on hand. Alternatively, unwind the retractable sunshade to escape the heat of the day.

Elsewhere, immaculately maintained gardens offer plenty of space for quiet reflection, soundtracked by waterfalls and fountains. Meanwhile, the shared lagoon-style swimming pool is perfect for lazy afternoons stretched out on a sun lounger. For those who get restless sitting still for too long, a well-equipped gym is available to burn off some extra energy.

Away from the complex, you're conveniently located for access to shops for stocking up on barbecuing essentials, with several fantastic restaurants within walking distance for when you don't fancy cooking – including the iconic Marbella Club. Treat yourself to a Michelin-starred meal at the nearby Puente Romano hotel for something exceptional. Alternatively, there are plenty of more casual options in Puerto Banús and Marbella.
