Stop the Clock: Andalusia

Relax and unwind at this outstanding two-bedroom apartment, situated within a well-established resort on the Costa del Sol, close to Marbella. With a large communal pool, on-site tennis courts, and a central location close to everything Nueva Andalucia has to offer.

Your hosts have recently updated the interiors to create a welcoming and stylish home that's a delight to spend time in. The main open-plan area features a fully kitted-out kitchen at one end, a dining area in the middle, and a soothing indoor seating area that offers direct access to a charming terrace that overlooks the immaculate grounds.

Step out to explore the wider resort, and you'll discover a delightful outdoor pool surrounded by sun loungers, plus tennis courts where you can enjoy a friendly hit around or unleash your competitive side. Meanwhile, you're ideally located to visit nearby beaches, with Playa Nueva Andalucia and Playa Puerto Banús within walking distance. However, you might prefer to drive down once you've packed your beach essentials.

After a day of frolicking in the Med, head back for a home-cooked meal on your private terrace. Alternatively, stroll the short distance to one of several fantastic restaurants serving everything from traditional tapas to Middle Eastern dishes and Japanese tepanyaki – you're spoiled for choice.
