A one-bedroom apartment inside Puente Romano, Marbella's beachfront resort on the Golden Mile. A one-bedroom at this level only makes sense in one circumstance, and this is it: when the address does the work. You are inside the resort, so the beach clubs, the wellness facilities, the tennis courts and some of the best restaurants on the coast are a walk from your door, and the apartment itself is the quiet part of the arrangement rather than the whole of it. The interiors are warm rather than clinical — oak finishes, natural textures and lighting that has been thought about. The open-plan living area runs into a bespoke kitchen built around a substantial dining island, and floor-to-ceiling openings take the room out onto the terrace. The terrace is designed for use across the year, with separate areas for dining, sitting and entertaining. In a resort apartment that matters: morning coffee, a long lunch and evening drinks all happen outside, and the terrace is where the apartment is actually lived in. One bedroom, two bathrooms, 120 m². It is unapologetically a lock-up-and-leave: for an owner who wants a Marbella base for a few weeks at a time, with nothing to maintain and everything within walking distance, this is the most efficient form that takes. If you need bedrooms for family or guests, this is the wrong apartment — the resort has larger ones. If you want the address, the service and the beach without a house to run, it is exactly right. 120 m² built. One bedroom, two bathrooms, open-plan living with bespoke kitchen and dining island, large terrace with multiple seating areas, beachfront resort with beach clubs, spa, tennis and restaurants.
