Do you have a question about this home or the local area?

To call this split-level penthouse bright and modern is an understatement. The design is sleek, sure – and yes, natural light is all but guaranteed to spill through the floor-to-ceiling windows. But what turns an otherwise ordinary apartment into a tropical getaway are the two sun-kissed terraces. Between the bubbling Jacuzzi, cosy outdoor sofas and alfresco dining areas, you'll have plenty of spots to sit back with a cocktail and admire the views. The communal pool is a bonus – a pretty big one, to be fair – and the location is close to Marbella and Puerto Banus, so beach days and adventures further afield are both easily achieved.

  • No time for average – We reject thousands of homes worldwide, so you don't have to.
  • Hosts we know – With track records of high-quality hosting.
  • Rated ‘Excellent’ on Trustpilot – Exceptional service before, during and after your stay.
