Soothing Blue

Located in Estepona on the Costa del Sol, this bright and breezy apartment is full of coastal charm. A neutral colour palette, brightened by pops of blue, helps to create a tranquil atmosphere, reflective of the scene outside the window. We love the floor-to-ceiling glass that runs along one wall, effortlessly flooding the space with natural light and bringing the outdoors in – the sea and mountain views alone will have you itching to get out and explore this picturesque port city. For the ultimate start to your day, rustle up a spot of breakfast, grab a cold juice, and head out onto your balcony to dine alfresco. With the ocean breeze brushing over your skin and the Spanish sun glistening off the water, you’ll feel utterly relaxed and completely at home. When it’s time to explore, it’s just a short 100-metre stroll to the beach of Playa del Cristo – don your floppy sun hat and settle down on the sand for an afternoon of people-watching and wave-catching. If you’ve had enough beach time, a stroll around the whitewashed old town may be right up your alley, where you can enjoy a spot of local cuisine followed by a walk along the palm-lined promenade, the Paseo Marítimo, to burn off some calories. Home truths: *The entrance to the building is shared with other residents *This is a central spot, and you may be able to hear your neighbours *There's open-air parking available if you plan on driving *Though there isn't a dedicated desk here, the dining table doubles up as a laptop-friendly workspace *This home is just 100 metres away from the beach, and 500 metres from the local supermarket *If you're travelling by plane, Malaga is the nearest airport – it's 75 kilometres from this home
