South-facing ground floor living right on the sand

Direct access from the communal gardens onto the sand and a private plot with sea views define this property inside Los Monteros Palm Beach. This 3 bedroom ground floor apartment with beachfront in Río Real measures 212 square metres of built area, giving it the footprint of a medium-sized house on a single level without stairs. Because the building faces south, light enters the main rooms and the outside spaces from morning until late afternoon.

A 43-square-metre terrace and a gated community

The 43-square-metre covered terrace sits directly off the main room and steps straight down into a private garden with sea views. Having a roof over the terrace means the outdoor table and chairs stay shaded at midday and dry when it rains, while the lawn beyond remains open to the sun. Beyond the private hedge, the gated community with 24-hour security holds tropical gardens and two communal swimming pools. A pedestrian gate at the edge of the communal grounds opens straight onto the beach and its chiringuitos, removing the need to cross a road or use a car to swim in the sea.

An independent kitchen and three full bathrooms

Inside this 3 bedroom ground floor apartment with beachfront in Río Real, the kitchen is shut off from the living and dining room rather than open-plan. That layout keeps cooking noise and smells away from the sitting area, and a separate utility area takes the laundry machines out of the main kitchen space. The apartment offers three bedrooms with built-in wardrobes and three bathrooms. The principal bedroom suite opens onto the terrace and garden, matching the outdoor access of the main living and dining room.

Underground parking for two cars and local access

Two underground parking spaces and a private storage room belong to the home, which solves the problem of parking near the beach in July and August and leaves space to lock away beach gear or golf clubs. The Río Real Golf Course runs down towards the coast nearby. For everyday errands, Marbella town centre, schools, shopping centres and Puerto Banús are reached by car along the main coast road, and Málaga Airport is roughly 30 minutes away.
