THE BEACH AT YOUR DOORSTEP.

NOTE: New outside furniture. Photos to follow.

To enjoy those carefree “beachy vibes” without giving up on creature comforts, book this little gem of a holiday rental. This garden apartment is stylish with casual charm and is brilliantly located in an upmarket beachfront complex. Depending on how energetic you’re feeling, you can stroll along the coastal promenade all the way to Puerto Banus or simply hang out at any of the beach bars or restaurants along the way.


The sleek stylish interiors make for a light and airy aesthetic, and complement the chilled-out atmosphere of the outdoors – where a lot of lazing on sun loungers goes on.

Formal relaxation can be found in the spacious living & dining room with its large comfy sofa and armchair. You’ll enjoy preparing meals in the high-end kitchen, where the dining nook nestled by the window offers a cosy spot for morning coffee rituals and ensures the chef always has someone to chat with nearby. You can find in the kitchen a traditional filter coffee machine and a pods coffee machine.

When you decide to move outside, grab a bottle of something chilled and head out to the undercover porch to enjoy a lazy day relaxing or soaking up the sun. Or if the mood takes, you walk a few steps through the garden and cool off in the sparkling communal pool. Naturally there is air con throughout, Wi-Fi and IPTV. And, parking is not a problem as you have a private car space with lift access.

The upscale las Adelfas complex is built in Andalusian white-village style and features landscaped gardens with 2 swimming pools with shallow ends. The location is spot on. The main entrance gate opens straight onto the tree lined promenade giving immediate access to loads of eateries and beach bars.

Pool/pool area opening times: From around Easter Holy Week to end of June: 1 pool is open. July - August: 2 pools are open. September to around end of October: 1 pool is open. Between October and Easter no pool is open. Times may vary depending on weather.

The property is located in a no party urbanisation. There is to be no late night noise nor any anti-social / disruptive behaviour.

LOCATION

San Pedro Alcantara is a coastal town wedged between Marbella and Estepona and, despite its proximity to glamorous Marbella, has managed to remain unspoilt. Very traditional and laidback, it attracts the type of visitor looking for a more low-key holiday.

Although San Pedro is small, it is a vibrant town abuzz with restaurants, bars, bakery cafes and ice cream parlours. The food scene is both local and international, with Irish pubs, Asian restaurants, Dutch bars all next to traditional Spanish bars and restaurants. There are a couple of well-priced supermarkets (Mercadona, Maskom, Carrefour and Día), a 24-hour pharmacy and boutiques. Thursday is street market day, a true bargain hunter’s paradise. The Boulevard is fast becoming the heart of San Pedro and a favourite with children with a total of six playgrounds and a skateboard area. Adults can sit around nearby, or go to one of the bar/restaurants for a drink, a snack or a meal.

Nueva Alcantara is the new part of town with wide tree-lined avenues leading down to the beach. On the waterfront, the 2 km sweeping tiled promenade serves as an open-air gym with exercise machines and is always bustling with joggers, strollers and dog walkers. It is dotted with chiringuitos all the way along, most of them offering Mediterranean cuisine and, of course, the ubiquitous thirst-quenching tinto de verano. The promenade also links up to Puerto Banus and it is possible to walk all the way to Marbella along the sea front.

Don't expect any wild nightlife. A night out typically consists of a meal and a few drinks at a local bar - although there are a couple of salsa clubs- or a moonlight stroll along the beach promenade. If you're looking for a big party night, Marbella and Puerto Banús are a short drive away.

For sporting activities, there are many options. Very close by is the Nueva Alcantara Club with 16 padel courts and the I/O gym. The adjacent residential area of Guadalmina is also known for its well kept golf courses. If you just want to hit a few balls try the Guadalmina public driving range (Located close to the Barceló Hotel). For a bit more action for the kids, the Cable Ski Marbella, next to the driving range, offers wakeboard, kneeboard, and water-ski lessons. The road to Ronda starts at San Pedro so experienced cyclists can enjoy a challenging but beautiful ride.
