Gran Canaria’s tropical coasts are quite mesmerising, especially when you can hear the gentle rhythm of the waves in the background. This apartment, situated right on the shores of Playa de San Agustín, allows you to hear the entrancing ebb and flow of the tides all day, every day. But at less than a forty-minute drive from the capital of Las Palmas, you can easily trade this serene, beachside lifestyle for the island’s biggest metropolis (well, perhaps just for the afternoon). As you step inside to this airy, modern studio, you’ll immediately feel a sense of zen and clarity thanks to white walls and stylish, grey concrete tiled floors. This continues into the bedroom, where a mirrored wardrobe adds to the modern decor at the same time as accentuating the sense of space. Monochrome furnishings and natural stone-coloured curtains also play a secondary role in the lounge – allowing the views from the enormous glass doors to really be the centre of attention. Swaying native palm trees, glistening blue seas, and golden sands can be viewed from the comfort of your private balcony – the only thing missing is a frozen margarita in your hand.
