Managed resort apartment with limited personal use in Bel Air

With a built area of 34 square metres and an 8-square-metre covered terrace, this 1 bedroom middle floor apartment in Bel Air is a managed tourist unit inside a four-star aparthotel complex rather than a conventional private residence. Originally constructed in 2004, the complex underwent a full renovation in 2022 and 2023. The sale conveys 100% freehold ownership of a unit that is already operating, furnished and equipped.

How the management contract and occupancy work

Because this is a tourist apartment within an operating hotel resort, day-to-day running is handled entirely by the resort's operating company. This setup removes the task of organising maintenance, guest changeovers or utility accounts. In exchange for this hands-off structure, personal use is capped at eight weeks per year, with defined low and high seasons, and the resort closes completely from mid-December until March. If a buyer books a stay while their specific flat is occupied by hotel guests, the operator allocates an alternative unit of similar specification within the same complex. Anyone seeking a permanent home or an unrestricted bolt-hole should rule this out immediately, as the rules are built strictly around the hotel operation.

Interior specification and renovation details

Inside, the 34-square-metre built area holds one bedroom, one bathroom and a fully fitted kitchen. Because the property operates as hotel stock, the inventory in the sale goes beyond standard furniture to include kitchenware, bed linens and accessories. Climate control and sound insulation are handled by air conditioning and double glazing. Having been refurbished during the 2022–2023 works, the fixtures are uniform with the rest of the aparthotel and require no immediate work from an incoming buyer.

The covered terrace and shared resort facilities

An 8-square-metre covered terrace extends the flat outdoors. Downstairs, the shared grounds and amenities reflect the building's function as a four-star hotel: residents and guests have access to swimming pools, communal gardens, a spa, a gym and an on-site restaurant. The complex also holds children's play areas, a nightclub, a laundry service and guest parking spaces. Pets are permitted by the hotel management. From the complex, the views take in both the sea and the mountains, and the nearest shoreline at El Saladillo Beach is 1.5 kilometres away on the New Golden Mile, with golf courses and the marina at Puerto Banús reachable by car along the coast road.
