This light and bright home puts you at the centre of the Nueva Andalucia resort, with its long sandy beach close by and golf and tennis facilities a short stroll away. The home’s private garden is a peaceful, secluded spot for soaking up the sun – then, when you heat up, you can dive in the generous on-site swimming pool. Inside, bright white walls and furnishings are complemented by homely touches in the form of plants and stylish soft furnishings. Each room features French doors opening onto greenery, while the communal living and dining area is the perfect social space. A sleek, modern kitchen makes it convenient to quickly whip up a snack or prepare meals, and we instantly fell for the super-stylish light fixture over the dining table. It’s tough to choose from dining in the elegant indoors or out on the relaxed exterior patio with its incredible mountain views – so make sure you do both. When you want to eat out, there’s plenty of restaurants nearby to choose from. You’re also a short drive away to the cobbled streets of the old town, and the luxury marina hub of Puerto Banus.
