South-facing middle floor flat with a wide terrace and sea views

An open-plan kitchen, dining and living room forms the core of this 2 bedroom middle floor apartment in Aqualina, Benahavís, connecting straight through large sliding doors to the outdoor space. The layout puts the main social areas together behind a single glass frontage so that the sea views are visible from the back of the kitchen as well as from the sofa. With a 112 m² built area divided between two bedrooms, two bathrooms and the main room, the proportions favour larger individual rooms over squeezing in a third bedroom.

The 47 m² terrace and what the community includes

Stepping out from the main room brings you onto a 47 m² south-facing terrace with panoramic sea views. A terrace of this size—more than a third of the built area again—allows for both a full dining table and separate loungers without having to shuffle furniture around when guests visit. Because it faces south, the outdoor area takes the sun for most of the day, which makes the sliding doors useful for warming the flat in winter, though you will want to check the depth of the overhang for shade in August.

Within the grounds, residents share communal gardens, two swimming pools and a children's pool. The indoor facilities go beyond the standard pool-and-garden setup, providing a gym, sauna, Jacuzzi and concierge service. For an owner, this means wellness facilities are on site rather than a drive away, though a development with heated water features, a gym and a concierge desk carries the running costs of a fuller service rota, so the annual community budget is worth reading closely before committing.

Kitchen equipment, climate control and parking

The kitchen is fitted with Bosch and Miele appliances, saving a buyer the immediate task of upgrading standard builder-grade white goods. Because the kitchen shares the room with the sofa and dining table, quieter appliance brands make a noticeable difference when the dishwasher or extractor runs in the evening. Temperature across the flat is handled by individually controlled air conditioning and underfloor heating throughout. Room-by-room thermostats mean an unoccupied guest bedroom does not need to be heated or cooled at the same rate as the main living area.

Downstairs, the property comes with one underground parking space. The bay already has pre-installation for an electric vehicle charger, which avoids the administrative hurdle of asking the community for permission to run new cabling from the meter room across the garage ceiling.

Road links and driving times from Aqualina

Aqualina sits near the A-397 Ronda road, putting everyday errands within a short drive rather than a walk. Local commercial centres are less than 5 minutes away by car for food shopping and basic services. Reaching the beach and the town centre in San Pedro takes about 10 minutes, while the marina and shops of Puerto Banús are under 15 minutes away. Buying this 2 bedroom middle floor apartment in Aqualina, Benahavís suits someone who wants quick road access down to the coast while staying above the coastal traffic.
