Luxury is a useful word – but often ill applied. Yet, we have no hesitation in describing the complex that this apartment is on as "the only affordable luxury serviced residential apartment development in Marbella". It is fair to say that, Marbella itself has played an important role in the success of the project. Largely unaffected by local economic conditions, the town has undergone a recent sea of change, moving away from conspicuous consumption towards a greater appreciation for world-class quality and luxury. With the apartment and complex in a great location, design and build quality already in place, all it took was a clear vision and a small leap of faith for the developer to recognise the project as the perfect antidote to the lack of affordable, quality serviced residences on the Costa del Sol and create the benchmark for luxury residential property in Marbella, and indeed the Costa del Sol. The addition of the concierge service and 5-star onsite facilities, gives the apartment all the advantages of a first-class hotel with all the convenience of a private residence. The apartment includes luxury master suite, stylish kitchen, the latest in home technology and quality finishes, under floor heating in the bathrooms and much more. As you would expect, the apartment features generously proportioned terrace in 3 adjoining sections that emulates 3 rooms; essential outdoor space ideal for alfresco entertaining, relaxing or simply soaking up the sunshine whilst watching the sunset over Puerto Banus out to the Mediterranean Sea. Seemingly cocooned, the calm and tranquil atmosphere invites you to relax and unwind within a friendly country club ambience and to luxuriate in the level of comfort and service at hand. More than a home in the sun…it's all about the lifestyle and the lifestyle begins here… landscaped gardens, 4 swimming pools (one heated with winter cover for all weather comfort), gym, spa, a superb restaurant, gourmet shop, a bodega, kids club and a concierge services team on hand to make each visit the very best it can be. 5 minutes from the Aloha Strip with award winning restaurants and bars. 10 minutes (4.5km) from Puerto Banus. 15 minutes from Marbella and San Pedro and 40 minutes to Malaga airport. Ubicacion perfecta as the Spanish say. THE APARTMENT The fundamental feature of this apartment is the vast terrace that is in 3 adjoining sections spread along the front of the building with views to the Mediterranean across Puerto Banus. Although this is a ground floor apartment, the the building is at such an elevation that the views are better than many of the penthouses available today. The private terrace is open and not overlooked with views to the south across Puerto Banus to the Mediterranean. On the other side, as you leave the apartment, you enter a large terrace that flows to the main pool and restaurant giving you easy access to the heart of the resort! From the moment you open the door the air of affluence and luxury is dominant as you enter the apartment. The first thing you see through the apartment is the full glass windows at the far end of the are the views across the valley outside. As you enter to your right is the beautifully upgraded kitchen with integrated appliances. Through the hall to the main dining/living area which opens onto the terrace. Flooring throughout the apartment is finished in hi-gloss cream marble with amber detailing. To your left you have the adjoining hallway that leads to the master bedroom with full glass windows onto the terrace. From the master bedroom there is an en-suit with double sink, bath and large shower. All bathrooms have underfloor heating. The guest bedroom is off the hall to the rear of the apartment. Both bedrooms have large wardrobes with a safe in the master bedroom. Across the hall is the ample guest bathroom. Unlike so many of the apartments for sale on the Costa del Sol, this apartment offers so much more "on site" facilities that dramatically enhances the lifestyle and the overall appeal. It will compliment owning an apartment giving you that little bit extra that most others do not have! Because of the relatively unique properties of the resort we have had considerable success in renting since the owner first bought the apartment thus proving the investment potential of the apartment! This is a MUST SEE property. Outside, the resort is close to restaurants and dining, the beach, family-friendly activities, nightlife, and public transport. Good for couples, solo adventurers, business travellers, and families (with kids). This is a 5 Star resort within short drive of all amenities in the heart of Andalusia. Minutes from the hustle & bustle of Puerto Banus and Marbella but far enough away to relax when required. Best of both worlds. An oasis of relaxation in the eye of the storm.
