Apartment, Fuengirola

There's a particular kind of apartment that doesn't announce itself. This is one of them.

Two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a living space that opens fully to the outside, and a 35 m² terrace that, once you're standing on it, makes the rest feel almost secondary. It's properly deep, wide enough to arrange furniture the way you would a room, with a BBQ area at one end and a view that runs uninterrupted to the Mediterranean. You'll use it more than any other part of the apartment.

Inside, floor-to-ceiling sliding glass runs the length of the living area. When the panels are open, there's no real boundary between in and out, the terrace becomes an extension of the room, and the room becomes an extension of the terrace. The finishes throughout are considered without being showy: clean lines, quality materials, nothing that will date quickly.

Higuerón West is the setting. More than 100,000 m² of landscaped parkland, cycling paths, a genuine sense of space between buildings. It's a development that was thought through from the beginning, and that care shows in the way it feels to live here day to day.

Practically, the apartment includes two parking spaces and a large storage room. It sits between Fuengirola and Benalmádena, with a private shuttle to the beach, Málaga Airport 15 minutes away, and Marbella within half an hour.

It's ready to move into. It doesn't need anything.
