Apartment in Estepona

You dive into the cool water of the shared pool, surface to the bright Spanish sky, and realize the long summer has finally begun. You dry off, walk a few steps back to your own door, and stretch out on a terrace that is actually larger than the interior of your home.

An outdoor living room

The numbers tell the story here: 101 square metres of indoor space, paired with a massive 125-square-metre private terrace. This is a layout that flips the usual apartment design on its head. You have the floor space to set up an outdoor dining area, a lounge, and perhaps a yoga corner, all under the open sky. Inside, the two bedrooms and two bathrooms are bright and well-proportioned, wrapping around an open living space that connects directly to the outdoors.

Comfort all year

It is easy to focus only on the summer, but this home works just as well in January. Underfloor heating warms the floors during cooler months, and air conditioning keeps things crisp in August. The gated community also provides an indoor pool, a fitness room, a playground, and a co-working space.

Golf and sea nearby

Benamara is a prime spot on the Estepona coast, favoured by those who want to be close to the fairways and the sand. You can easily reach a local golf course for an early tee time, or take a casual stroll down to the Mediterranean. It is a relaxed, well-connected base that puts the rest of the coast within an easy drive.

Who this belongs to

Entertainers, sun-worshippers, and anyone who believes a home in Spain should be lived entirely outdoors. If you want the manageable interior of a two-bedroom apartment but the terrace of a penthouse, your search stops here.
