Description Atlantic Overture: San Bartolomé de Tirajana

Pool life meets Atlantic views at this sun-soaked villa in Margaritas. The terrace is the heart of it. Slide back the living room doors, and you'll enjoy a glimpse of the ocean – the perfect backdrop for long alfresco evenings around the barbecue. Inside, the design is modern and contemporary, with a second terrace offering another spot to enjoy the sun. Two minutes on foot brings you to Playa de Las Burras, with Playa del Inglés and the vast Maspalomas Dunes both within easy reach for when you're ready to venture beyond the poolside.

Home truths:
* The garage fits two cars. We suggest hiring a car in this location.
* If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot and high chair free of charge. Make sure to request them in advance.
* One of the upper-floor bedrooms has a trundle bed that converts into two single beds – let your host know your preference before you arrive if you'd like it configured a particular way.
* While the pool overlooks the ocean, the second terrace faces the street and surrounding apartment buildings. It doesn't feel the most private.
