A third-floor penthouse in a new development of 113 homes in Nueva Andalucía, five minutes from Puerto Banús. 158 m² inside and a 105 m² terrace, two bedrooms and two bathrooms. The terrace is two thirds of the floor area again, and on the top floor with the golf valley in front of it, which is the combination that makes a two-bedroom apartment work as a main home rather than a pied-à-terre. There is room up there for a dining table, a seating area and shade without any of them crowding the others. Inside, the architecture borrows from Andalusian courtyards: the plan is organised to pull light deep into the apartment rather than leaving it at the window line. Floor-to-ceiling glazing, home automation, underfloor heating and a designer kitchen with energy-efficient appliances are all installed. Two parking spaces and a storeroom are included, which at this size is the right number rather than the generous one. The communal side is unusually complete for a scheme of this scale: outdoor and indoor pools, gym, spa, coworking space and a social club with a cinema room. Nueva Andalucía puts the golf valley, the Saturday market and Centro Plaza within a few minutes, with Marbella centre about ten and Puerto Banús five.
