The windows in this apartment are huge, and for good reason. The sea views are simply stunning at all times of day, inviting you to spend hours gazing at the waves. There’s plenty of space for seven people to chill out in the living room or gather round the dining table for a meal whipped up in the ultra-modern kitchen. The golden sands of La Concha beach are just minutes away, where you can sunbathe, take a dip or go for a stroll. Nearby Zurriola Beach is famous for its surf culture – take a lesson or watch from the shore. The old town of San Sebastian is also close, with its pintxo bars serving drinks and little snacks to soak them up. Discerning diners can also treat themselves at one of the many Michelin star restaurants. After all that excitement, enjoy a nightcap on the terrace before heading to bed for a great night’s sleep.

Mere steps from San Sebastian's iconic horseshoe-shaped bay and the golden sands of La Concha beach, with the atmospheric old town nearby, this chic contemporary apartment is an ideal base for those looking to enjoy the alluring coastline and the gastronomic delights of Spain's unofficial culinary capital.

The city has a hard-won reputation as one of the top foodie destinations in the world. And after spending a short time exploring the casco viejo, it's easy to see why. Whether you're hopping from bar to bar snacking on pintxos, or sitting down to a creative take on the classics at Kokotxa, when it comes to cooking, San Sebatián is beyond compare.

Its recently renovated interior is decorated in soothing neutral tones. Locally inspired artwork and botanical prints adorning the walls only enhance the relaxed beachside atmosphere. A well-equipped kitchen comes with everything you need for a self-sufficient stay. However, with so many celebrated eateries on your doorstep, we doubt it will see much use.

Single-Level Home

Nestled into the banks of the Urumea River, right before it flows into the Cantabrian Sea, sits a home so sleek you won’t know if you’re staying in a luxurious hotel or a cosy home. Pairing a gentle colour palette with contemporary takes on mid-century designs, this home oozes peaceful serenity in the centre of town.  Maitenminduta, which means to be in love, is perfectly located to experience all that the city has to offer. Head into the bay of La Concha for an early morning swim or walk just a short way to the Old Town at the tip of the Peninsula for a culinary experience you won’t soon forget. Bustling with bars and restaurants, you’ll want to take on the Old Town with a great appetite. Famous for its pintxos, these small snacks go brilliantly with any of the local beers, wines and ciders. When night falls, we recommend going for a pintxos crawl, hopping from one bar to the next until you’re so full you don’t think you can make it home. Except, of course, your home is just a short walk from all of this. 

Maiteminduta

This apartment is right in the heart of San Sebastián, giving you easy access to everything the city has to offer. Sun-seekers are spoilt for choice, with Zurriola Beach just minutes away and the crescent-shaped sands of La Concha Beach a little further down the coast. San Sebastian’s historic old town is also close by, where you can meander the maze-like streets. Make sure you dive into some of the famous foodie pintxo bars and enjoy tasty snacks as you drink some Spanish wine. If you’re feeling active, you can hike up Monte Igueldo for beautiful views across the bay, or take the hundred-year-old funicular railway. Back at the apartment you’ll find space to lounge and relax in the open-plan living area. There’s also a small balcony where you can sip a sundowner before heading to bed in true comfort.

There is a contemporary dining room which leads directly into the laid-back living room. Three minimalist bedrooms have artful bed stands and stylish patterned carpets, sleeping up to five guests. The apartment includes a balcony with a view of the beautiful Zurriola Beach, perfect for gazing at while you sip your morning espresso or evening glass of wine. Located right on the beachfront streets, you can step straight out to catch some waves and spend your days lazing in the sun. When you're bored of sunbathing, wander through the richly historic streets of San Sebastían and discover the charming local cafés and shops.

Casa de la Vida

Patio / Terrace

Comfortably sleeping five guests, this home enjoys chic interiors, high-end appliances and a wonderful location. Thanks to its open-plan layout, guests will have plenty of space to spread out and socialise. The sumptuous sofas in the living room are ideal for sinking into after a busy day of exploring Saint Sebastien, meanwhile, the dining area provides the perfect spot for tucking into some homemade Basque country culinary delights. 

However given that you’ll be visiting one of the culinary capitals of the world, you may prefer to sample the cafes and restaurants more than dining at home. Located in the centre of town, just a two-minute stroll away from the beach, you’ll also be within easy reach of the city’s Old Town with an abundance of authentic pintxos bars and restaurants waiting to be experienced. With so many options available, we recommend bar hopping from one restaurant to the next, sitting in a sunny spot on the terrace as you go. Once you’re full of delicious tapas, you'll be relieved to know it's only a short walk back to the apartment for a blissful night’s sleep.

Silver Debut

Large and very well-located, this home offers a great home base for guests looking to experience this undeniably alluring city. Fully equipped and renovated to a high standard, there’s plenty of room for you to socialise in the open-plan living area, relax in the serene bedrooms and prepare delicious meals in the sleek, modern kitchen. That being said, we don’t think you’ll need the kitchen too often given that you’re visiting one of the world’s greatest culinary cities. Located just behind the Beach of La Concha, you can easily access all that makes San Sebastian such a popular destination – enjoy relaxing strolls along the beach, sample the Old Town’s traditional pintxos, admire the impressive Art Nouveau architecture or visit neighbouring Playa de la Zurriola for an afternoon of surfing. Though you’ll be able to catch a peekaboo view of the sea from the balcony, we recommend visiting the Belle Époque La Perla Spa and Restaurant for wonderful views, delicious cocktails and a real sense of this city’s history as a spa town.


Donostia's Glow

Plaza Easo welcomes you in style with an apartment ideal for a family, group, or three couples looking to immerse beautifully into the San Sebastián lifestyle. With high ceilings and French windows, this abode has the perfect combination of space and location. Gaze at the sweeping rooftop views and the bustling Plaza below - you'll be right at the heart of this vibrant city. A mere few blocks to golden La Concha Beach, you'll look like a local about town in your sandals. On days you want to do something other than relaxing on the beach, take the 15-minute walk down cobbled streets to the Old Town. With beautiful craft shops, galleries, and independent ice cream parlours by day, and by night, the town’s pintxo bars and restaurants come alive. For an evening in, watch the lights sparkle over the town and music fill the streets - all from a candlelit dinner between the lofty French windows of the home.

Bay Of Biscay

Visiting San Sebastian for the surf? Then check into this sleek apartment near Zurriola Beach, which is known for its gnarly waves. You’re also within walking distance of the city’s atmospheric old town, where you can spend evenings with the locals gorging on pintxos and cañas at one of the city’s cobblestone-street bars. If you fancy eating in though, the apartment’s monochrome kitchen-diner with extendible table is perfect for large feasts with family and friends. There’s also a mezzanine lounge nook where you can enjoy evening wine sessions. To complete the stay, ask your host about arranging traditional Basque cooking classes, bike rentals and historic city tours of San Sebastian.

A short ten-minute stroll from the apartment brings you to the waterfront, where you’ll find popular surfing haven Zurriola Beach. Come night time, step outside to enjoy San Sebastian’s lively nightlife and famous pintxos bars. The stunning Basozabal golf club is situated just outside the city (fourteen minutes away by car) and has epic views of the Basque countryside. Those with a car can explore the surrounding area or even visit the neighbouring city of Bilbao for a day trip with ease. 

Private Collection

Simplicity is key in this apartment, with its minimalist decor and air of tranquillity. Throw open the French doors and step out onto the terrace to enjoy a bird’s eye view across the city.

When you’re ready to explore, the old town is just minutes away, where you can meander through the charming streets at your own pace. San Sebastian is a hub of gastronomy – whether you pick something up from one of the local food markets or treat yourself at a fine dining establishment, you’ll never go hungry here. La Concha Beach is nearby, where you can listen to the waves and stroll along the sand. For the more adventurous, try Zurriola Beach – take a lesson in riding the waves, or grab an ice cream and watch. 

Basque Beauty

Smart TV

You’ll find this slick and sophisticated home where San Sebastian meets the sea. The blonde wood and sea views of this apartment means it's a exceptionally calming place to stay. Enjoy coffee on the balcony in the morning before heading to Zurriola beach, just metres away, meaning all you have to do is pack up your towels and pick a spot to stretch out on the sand. A short walk will take you into San Sebastian’s old town, where you can hop between the pintxo bars and sample the local fare - the city is famous for its food, so make sure you’re hungry. After all that, it’s time to snuggle up in one of the stylish bedrooms - within minutes you’ll fall asleep to the sound of the ocean. 

City to Sea

It’s hard to imagine a more tranquil space than this apartment, with its neutral tones and chic decor. Every single detail has been carefully curated, from the statement seating to the gorgeous light fittings. There’s plenty of space for a group of friends or a larger family to settle in here and make the most of all San Sebastian has to offer. Zurriola beach, known for its surf, is just minutes away - watch the waves from the shore or even get on a board if you’re feeling brave. The old town is also close by, where you can wander the maze-like streets for hours. When you get hungry, be sure to dive into one of the many pintxo bars and sample the snacks this city is famous for. You’re also in the ideal position to explore the wider Basque country, with its coastal trails and serene landscapes. 

Sand Dollar

This apartment is chic and well-thought-out, with a smart L-shaped couch giving you plenty of space to kick back and relax. The bright white kitchenette is well-equipped for you to make a morning coffee to enjoy on the balcony while a sea breeze ruffles your hair. Serene bedrooms come with piles of cushions and a cosy throw for your best night’s sleep ever. From here, a short stroll through De Cervantes Plaza will bring you to La Concha Beach, a pleasing strip of golden sand from which you can watch little white boats bobbing on the tide. Located on a lively street in the Old Town of San Sebastian, some of the city's best pintxos restaurants and bars are just footsteps away. 

La Piedra Blanca

Down a characterful street in the Old Town, you’ll get the best of the city and the beach in this three-bedroom apartment. Decorated in understated luxe style, design lovers will feel instantly at home. There’s a little less natural light here than some of our other San Sebastian apartments, but the location more than makes up for it, and the cocktail-bar-esque styling is pitched perfectly for evening entertainment. Sink into the yellow rattan-and-velour armchair with a glass of Rioja and engage in conversation or watch a Spanish arthouse movie on the television. The dining table seats six for relaxed dinners with family and friends. Right outside the door, you’ll find labyrinthine streets home to some of the best restaurants in the world, a sweep of sandy beach and tree-lined trails leading panoramic views from the top of Monte Urgull.  

Nuevo Rey

Personally, we think a trip to San Sebastian is always a good idea, no matter the weather or time of year. And that’s where this home comes into play. Light and airy, the apartment is nicely decorated with a contemporary style. A highlight is the balcony off the master bedroom, accessed through the large French doors. The flat is located just a few streets from the beach of Zurriola, a beautiful stretch of sand for a stroll on a cold winter’s day and the perfect spot for sunbathing and surfing in the summer. Tucked away in the neighbourhood of Gros, it’s just a short walk along the river Urumea to reach the Old Town with its vast number of pintxos restaurants and bars. Welcoming up to six guests, this home offers comfort and ease in a great location.

Beach Essentials

Elegant, yet relaxed interiors and wonderfully comfortable beds make this home a great choice for a couple or a small family. Located in the city centre, it’s about a twenty-minute walk to San Sebastian’s Old Town, where you’ll find the highest concentration of its famous pintxos bars and restaurants. You’re also just a short walk from La Concha beach and its beautiful Belle Époque restaurant and spa. But what’s really special about this home is that you’ll have free on-site parking. Now that may not seem like a big deal, but in a city that is filled with winding, narrow streets and charges high prices for parking, you’ll be grateful to have a hassle-free place to keep your car. It is worth noting, however, that due to this home’s first-floor position, it can be a little bit noisy during the day when children play at the park across the street. Still, with so much going on in this vibrant city, we doubt you’ll be spending much time at home anyway.

On the edge of the Cantabrian Sea, this home contrasts its old-world Spanish setting with clean lines, pops of colour and a distinct Scandi-cool feel.

With over one hundred metres of square footage, stunning contemporary interiors and plenty of original architectural features, this home is really something. Positioned in the ever-popular neighbourhood of Gros, you’re just a short walk from Zurriola Beach, colloquially known as Zurri. Famous for its impressive waves, it’s a surfer’s paradise and a vibrant and eclectic neighbourhood. A favourite amongst young people and keen adventurists, this area is home to numerous cultural institutions and venues, while still being close to all the city’s major attractions. From the apartment, it’s just a ten-minute walk to the Old Town, where you’ll be blown away by the sheer number of outstanding pintxos bars and restaurants. In San Sebastian, it’s essential to be hungry at all times because the food is unlike anywhere else.

The large space offers comfort, high-end appliances and a fully equipped kitchen. Two serene bedrooms are at the rear of the apartment, affording guests peace and quiet in the vibrant neighbourhood of Gros.

One of our personal favourites is Bar Néstor, which has a cult following for its tortillas and steak.

Vardo Views

Guests looking for comfort will enjoy this home’s easy access to the beach, the lift to the second floor and the comfortable bedrooms. Adorned with film industry-inspired decor, there’s plenty of character at this home for four. However, guests who are particularly sensitive to noise may find this location too central, especially when the entire city is celebrating. After all, San Sebastian is famous for its staggering amount of festivals and cultural events, from the film festival to the Semana Grande. That said, the bedrooms are set back so you can always count on a good night’s sleep.

Amama

Centrally located in the romantic old town area of San Sebastián, you'll find the stunning cathedral next to this beautiful apartment. Begin your morning with breakfast on the balcony before heading out to explore all this wonderful city has to offer – the sandy, crescent-shaped beach of La Concha is just a five-minute stroll away. Cool off in the calm waters or sail away on a sightseeing cruise from the marina. Hike up the meandering green paths and cobblestone walkways to explore the historic Mota Castle and enjoy the panoramic ocean views. The Aquarium provides fun for families, or head to the century-old mountainside amusement park instead. When you've worked up an appetite, there are hundreds of acclaimed restaurants and pintxo bars where you can experience an array of local culinary delights. End the day with live music and a glass of sangria at the Convent Garden bar, steps away from your door.

The recently refurbished living room is both trendy and inviting, the highlight being the glass-walled cove with armchair that makes an excellent reading spot. Fix up a coffee using the machine in the kitchen and drink it at the smart glass lounge table while you make plans for your day. The master bedroom comes with an en-suite and there’s a separate guest bathroom. Both have showers, so there’ll be no queues in the morning.

Gambas

Rain Shower

From its sleek and serene interiors you wouldn't guess this home is actually part of a stunning 19th-century building right in the centre of the action. We love the blend of old and new, where modern comforts aren’t missed, yet you still get a taste of the city’s historic character. Perfectly located near the Old Town, beaches and the promenades, each bedroom boasts charming views of this vibrant central neighbourhood. With a bathroom for each bedroom and two single beds in one of the rooms, this is a great base for a group of friends looking to explore the best of San Sebastián.

After all, you’ll be staying in the city centre, just moments from the Old Town and the golden sands of the Beach of La Concha. Bringing together all of our favourite ingredients for a perfect vacation, San Sebastian is a culinary haven, a surfer’s paradise and a culturally and historically rich enclave in the Basque Country. For hikers, we recommend climbing to the top of Mount Ulia for breathtaking views of the Bay of Biscay. Sun-worshippers can relax with live music or learn how to surf at Zurriola Beach. And foodies will fall in love with the venerable dining scene. When night falls, crawl into your wonderfully comfortable bed for a great night’s sleep.

Good As Gold

Just one block from La Concha Beach, this one-bed apartment is testament to the idea of small being beautiful. In the bedroom, natural light streams in through floor-to-ceiling windows and bounces off the eggshell-white linens and walls. A pared-back bathroom counter affords plenty of space on which to spread out your skincare for your morning toilette. The angular furniture and abstract line art have been chosen with care; comfortable enough to relax in, trendy enough for an Instagram shot or two. A kitchen corner with oven and microwave makes tapas dinners easy; there’s fast Wi-Fi and a flat-screen TV for the evening’s entertainment. Outside the apartment, you're within striking distance of San Sebastian's shambling Old Town, and world-class restaurants are on your doorstep.

A La Playa

What we love about this home – besides its outstanding location – is that its contemporary interiors are juxtaposed by the views of the surrounding Art Nouveau buildings. That means you can live with creature comforts while taking in the city’s rich history as a luxurious resort town. Welcoming six guests, there’s plenty of comfortable seating for everyone, especially on the sumptuous sofa and chaise longue in the living room. Step out onto the balcony to sip your morning coffee and take in the city’s awakening before heading out for a day of fun. You’ll be staying in Gras, a popular neighbourhood amongst young locals, artists and musicians. This is where you’ll find the city’s surfing beach and many of its cultural institutions. For reference, you’re about a ten-minute walk from Zurriola Beach and Kursaal, a cutting-edge theatre and auditorium. For pintxos, we recommend heading over the river to the bars and restaurants of the Old Town.
