The Flamingo & The Ballerina

The Flamingo & The Ballerina: Andalusia

Showcasing some beautiful canvases on the walls, this home not only pays homage to art inside but step out onto the balcony and you’ll catch a glimpse of a gorgeous palette of blues and greens as palms dot the landscape and the mountains peak on the horizon. Out here is where you can enjoy your first coffee with a side of contemplation – dine alfresco, sunbathe, enjoy good wine with nibbles, or sprawl out to read The Spanish Love Deception in the sun.

On days when the beach feels too far away – even though Playas del Duque is only minutes away by car – you can drag your feet down to the communal pool and plunge in to float lazily in the cool waters. Stare up at the bright blue sky, simply appreciating the tranquillity of the moment.

Get together in the bright kitchen to stack a tapas platter with olives, meatballs, chorizo, and more, and enjoy it at the dining table. After sunsets are spent outdoors, you can steal away for a long, luxurious soak in the tub before breaking out the board games or a family movie.
