A short walk from La Concha beach, this breezy apartment promises plenty of fun in San Sebastián. With a prime position just a few metres from the sea, it's no surprise that you'll spend most of your days swimming in the Atlantic, sunbathing on the golden sand and sampling Spanish cuisine at the bars and restaurants lining the waterfront promenade. Location-wise, it's hard to beat – you'll have the entire city at your fingertips, so set off and explore. But when you're not out and about, you'll be able to chill out in style in this contemporary pad. Make yourself at home in the living space, decked out in soft creams and relaxing colours that feel like a respite from the coastal air. The shiny kitchen is well-equipped for cooking anything from Spanish omelettes for breakfast to tapas come dinnertime, while the chic bedrooms are as comfortable as can be. That said, our favourite spot has to be the balcony, where you can savour a glass of Rioja wine and watch the sun go down across the charming city streets.

About San Sebastián

With the most Michelin stars per square meter in Europe, the coastal city of San Sebastián is a foodie paradise.
