Sol & Terraza

Perched directly above the water in Benalmadena's Torremuelle area, this apartment gives you a private roof terrace with a barbecue, lounge seating, and panoramic sea views stretching across the Mediterranean. Alfresco dining on the seafront balcony, morning coffee with the water glittering below – it's that kind of place. Back inside, the living room opens directly onto the balcony, keeping the sea in view. When you're ready to leave the terrace, the communal pool sits among landscaped gardens, and the beach is just steps from the front door.

Home truths:
* The apartment is on the second floor and there is no lift in the building, so you'll be taking the stairs with your luggage on arrival and departure.
* At around 37 square metres, this is a compact apartment – well laid out for two or a couple travelling with children, but cosy if all four adults are spending extended time indoors.
*You'll have access to the on-site communal swimming pool here, which is shared with the resort's other residents.
*Starter toiletries are provided. However, you will want to stock up on other essentials such as coffee and tea, as these are not included.
*Self-check-in is available here. You'll either pick up the keys at a nearby property or use a lockbox on the premises. Your host will confirm instructions before your arrival.
*Your host uses a third-party platform called Truvi for ID verification and to manage damage deposits independently from Plum Guide. They'll send you a link to fill out when you book.
