Balcony of the World

We never underestimate the power of a killer view – and neither did the smart developer responsible for dreaming up this dazzling-new and oh-so-intimate apartment complex. From its hillside perch above the coastal towns of Nerja and Torrox Costa, the sea and mountain vistas are jaw-dropping from every angle, inside and out. And just imagine the panoramas at dusk as the sun dips into the horizon.

Designed to make the very most of alfresco living, the expansive private balcony running the entire length of the apartment is the spot to savour morning coffees and sundowners (your host can organise champagne on ice to be delivered). While that stylish, inviting shared pool is all about sun-worshipping sessions and cooling dips. And you can always squeeze in a workout in the shared gym should you fancy upping the ante.

When you can bear to part with the seascapes, you’ll find you’re closer to the action than you think. The chic coastal town of Nerja, with its ten miles of sandy shores and wander-worthy Old Town, is a fine place to start and just a short drive away. Dive into its charming, cobbled streets and discover authentic tapas bars and restaurants aplenty for plates of Jamon Iberico and jugs of Sangria, just like you imagined.
