Stunning, luxurious Marbella apartment (#30224)

Description of the Marbella vacation apartment rental

Perched on the heights overlooking Marbella and the Mediterranean, this apartment is part of a small complex and commands uninterrupted views of both as well as Gibraltar off to the right. Located in the Neuva Andalucia area of Marbella, the apartment is within easy reach of the nightlife at Puerto Banus (4km/7 minutes), shopping and restaurants (some within walking distance). Yet the apartment and its surroundings are quiet, lending itself to a tranquil holiday with all the comforts of home and more.
The apartment is fully equipped with DVD/CD player with surround-sound in the living room, DVD player in the master bedroom, LCD TVs (in Living room and Master bedroom), all the kitchen appliances and comes with two large marble bathrooms with heated floors.The apartment is centrally air-conditioned and heated, but the location in the hills above Marbella makes for a marvellous climate and outdoor lifestyle all year round. The living room has a large leather sofa and two easy chairs and the dining table seats 6 persons. In addition, the bright and spacious kitchen looks out on to a bar area and the bar chairs can be used for quick breakfasts. The very large patio/verandah has a large table and six chairs as well as two lounge/sunning chairs. The views from the patio are fabulous and you will be tempted to eat all your meals here. The master bedroom comes with a built-in electronic safe with codes that you can set yourself. The complex has 24 hour security.
The location is superb; and gentle, cool breezes make you want to spend the day on the large patio verandah or by the pool. The surrounding areas are studded with luxury villas and bougainvillae. We look forward to welcoming you to our apartment in Las Tortugas for an truly unforgettable holiday.

Area Description

Marbella is perhaps at the centre of all that is happening on the Costa del Sol. Consists of the old town (see below), the city itself and the stretch to Puerto Banus. Nueva Andalucia, as its name implies, is a new area opened up recently to development, stretching up the hillside from Puerto Banus. It is still mostly residential, with a few restaurants and supermarkets interspersed amidst the villas, golf courses and low rise apartments. The road up to Nueva Andalucia from Puerto Banus/Marbella is most picturesque with pink bouganvillae spilling over the walls of white-washed villas. From Nueva Andalucia, and from the apartment in particular, you can gaze down at the slopes that stretch all the way to the sea. On a clear day (nearly all the time), the rock of Gibraltar is clearly visible off on the right. Main areas of interest nearby are:

Puerto Banus (10 mins) : Exclusive and famous luxury yacht marina with boutiques,shops, bars, restaurants. Centre of night life activity. Place to see and be seen.

Marbella old town: (20 mins): Beautiful and charming old Spanish town with lovely, narrow streets, restaurants, churches, shops and bars. Can be visited during the day or at night. Particularly charming at night. Most restaurants here, as elsewhere in the area, favour al fresco dining. Its great to relax, drink some wine, eat fabulous food and watch people go by.

Mijas: (45 mins); Lovely old town hanging on to the steep slopes well above the town of Fuengirola. Great restaurants and beautiful narrow and steep streets make this a place you want to visit over and over again.

Ronda: (1 hour): Another gem of a town perched above a deep gorge, easily accessible by car from Marbella.

Ojen: (30 mins): A small, quaint town perched on a hillside and overlooking a large reservoir. Quiet, cobblestone streets, cafes and even a small winery.

Most activities focus on the nearby beaches, restaurants and people watching at Puerto Banus. Activities can be as hectic or as slow as you like, depending on your preference on a particular day. There are about 40 world-class golf courses within an hour's drive of Nueva Andalucia, including the Marbella Country Club which is within walking distance of the apartment. An abundance of water sports are available including para-sailing, jet-skiing. In the winter months, a short drive leads to the Sierra Nevada mountains nearby for (snow) skiing.

Upmarket restaurants specializing in Spanish and International cuisine are within walking distance. The unique nightlife of legendary Puerto Banus is 4 km away. Puerto Banus, with its nightclubs, restaurants and boutiques is open virtually 24 hours. Lovely old Andalusian towns, with whitewashed houses perched on mountain sides are found within an easy drive of Marbella. For shopping affeccionados, there are many vast shopping centres all within 15 minutes drive of the apartment.
