Sea, Gibraltar and the African coast from a corner plot

The view takes in the beach, the open sea, Gibraltar and the coast of Africa. This 2 bedroom ground floor apartment with beachfront in Casares Playa holds a corner position in La Perla de la Bahía, an Andalusian and Moorish style development next to a protected historic zone with an old Arab tower. Being on a corner on the ground floor offers direct access out to the garden.

The terrace, the garden and what the community includes

Outside, a 27 m2 terrace leads onto a private garden. Although the garden is for the private use of this home, the community maintains it, which removes the burden of looking after a lawn and planting between visits. The wider gated complex provides 24-hour security and video surveillance, decorative fountains, landscaped communal gardens and several swimming pools, two of which are heated. Having two heated pools extends the swimming season well into the cooler months, a detail worth checking when comparing frontline developments along this coast.

Built area, parking and storage

The property measures 135 m2 of built area with two bedrooms and two bathrooms. For a two-bedroom layout, 135 m2 is a generous footprint, giving broader rooms than standard holiday flats typically offer. Buyers should note that the listing details do not specify the internal room arrangement, so checking how the bathrooms relate to the bedrooms is a job for the viewing. The property includes two underground parking spaces and one storage room. Two spaces for a two-bedroom home is uncommon and resolves parking issues when visitors stay or when storing a car long-term.

Beaches, golf and surrounding towns

Three different beaches and two restaurants sit within a two-minute walk of the gates. Finca Cortesín golf resort, which hosted the 2023 Solheim Cup, is also close by. By car, Estepona, Sabinillas and Puerto de la Duquesa are each five minutes away for shops, restaurants and leisure activities. For buyers who wish to let the property when not in use, this 2 bedroom ground floor apartment with beachfront in Casares Playa has the possibility of obtaining a tourist rental licence, an important administrative point given current regional rules on short-term lets.
