Walk to Beach Marina & Restaurants – Authentic Spanish Town Apartment

Experience Authentic Spanish Coastal Living

Welcome to our spacious three-bedroom apartment in the heart of San Luis de Sabinillas, one of the Costa del Sol's best-kept secrets.

We have owned and enjoyed this apartment for almost 25 years and continue to return whenever we can. What we love most is that we can park the car and simply walk everywhere – the beach, promenade, cafés, restaurants, marina and local shops. It allows us to enjoy a genuine Spanish lifestyle rather than a resort experience.

Unlike many purpose-built holiday resorts, Sabinillas remains a real Spanish seaside town where life continues throughout the year. Here you can enjoy a more authentic Andalusian lifestyle, with local cafés, tapas bars, restaurants, shops and a beautiful sandy beach all within easy walking distance.

Many of our guests are couples who enjoy experiencing everyday life in Spain and often tell us that staying here gives them a taste of what living or retiring in Spain might be like – without the commitment of purchasing a property, living in a predominantly expatriate community, or staying in a holiday complex.

The apartment is ideal for one or two couples seeking a relaxing stay, with the flexibility of two additional bedrooms for visiting family and friends.

A Perfect Location

San Luis de Sabinillas is located between Estepona, Sotogrande and Gibraltar, close to the picturesque marina of Puerto de la Duquesa.

Everything you need for a comfortable stay is within a few minutes' walk:

• Beautiful sandy beach
• Beachfront promenade
• Cafés, tapas bars and restaurants
• Supermarkets and local shops
• Banks, pharmacies and everyday amenities
• Weekly markets and local events

One of the greatest benefits of staying in the town centre is that a car is optional rather than essential. Many guests spend entire weeks enjoying the beach, restaurants and marina without needing to drive anywhere.

Authentic Spain

Guests often tell us how much they enjoy the authentic atmosphere of Sabinillas. Unlike many Costa del Sol resorts, it remains a genuine Spanish town where local fishermen still launch small boats from the beach, families enjoy the evening paseo along the promenade, and many restaurants remain focused on serving local residents rather than tourists.

The town offers excellent value compared with many better-known Costa del Sol destinations, while retaining all the advantages of a Mediterranean seaside location.

Our Favourite Walk

One of our favourite things to do is walk along the seafront promenade from Sabinillas to Puerto de la Duquesa and onto Castillo del la Duquesa. Along the way you'll pass beaches, cafés, chiringuitos and local restaurants before arriving at one of the Costa del Sol's most attractive marinas.

A morning coffee overlooking the sea or an evening stroll to the marina for dinner remains one of the simple pleasures that keeps us returning year after year.

Puerto de la Duquesa

A pleasant 10 to 15-minute stroll along the seafront promenade brings you to the attractive marina of Puerto de la Duquesa.

The marina offers:

• Waterside restaurants and cafés
• Bars and terraces
• Boat excursions and fishing trips
• A lively but relaxed atmosphere

It is one of the most attractive and welcoming marinas on the Costa del Sol.

What Makes This Apartment Different?

What makes the apartment unusual is its location within a genuine Spanish seaside town rather than a purpose-built holiday complex. Guests can enjoy the convenience of walking to the beach, marina, restaurants, supermarkets and local markets while experiencing the rhythm of everyday Spanish life.

For those who enjoy cooking local produce at home, the apartment features a well-equipped kitchen with granite worktops, dishwasher, washing machine, microwave, freezer, utility room and ample preparation space.

The open-plan serving area connects the kitchen to the dining and living space, creating a sociable environment for cooking and entertaining.

The lounge opens onto a south-facing balcony with hardwood table and chairs, providing the perfect spot for breakfast, a glass of wine or dining al fresco.

Exploring Andalucía

The apartment provides an excellent base from which to explore southern Spain.

Popular excursions include:

• Estepona Old Town
• Marbella and Puerto Banús
• Gibraltar and the famous Rock
• Ronda and its spectacular gorge
• Cádiz and the Atlantic coast
• Jerez and the Sherry region
• The white villages of Andalucía
• Los Alcornocales Natural Park
• Ferry trips to Tangier in Morocco

Whether your interests are beaches, history, golf, food, wine, walking, culture or simply enjoying the Mediterranean climate, there is always something new to discover.

A Place Guests Return To

Many guests initially choose the apartment because of its location, but return because they fall in love with the lifestyle.

If you are looking for authentic Spanish coastal living, excellent beaches, great restaurants, a relaxed Mediterranean atmosphere and the convenience of being able to walk almost everywhere, we believe Sabinillas offers one of the most enjoyable and best-value locations on the Costa del Sol.
