A two-bedroom apartment in a new development of 113 homes in Nueva Andalucía. 177 m² is a great deal of floor area for two bedrooms, and that is the point of this particular unit: the space that would normally go into a third and fourth bedroom has been left in the living areas instead. For a couple, or for someone who works from home and wants a study that is a room rather than a corner, that trade is usually the right one. Two bathrooms, and a 28 m² terrace off the living space. The building's architecture is based on Andalusian courtyards, so daylight reaches into the plan rather than stopping a few metres inside the glazing. Floor-to-ceiling windows, home automation, underfloor heating and a designer kitchen with energy-efficient appliances come as standard. Two parking spaces and a storeroom are included. The development has outdoor and indoor pools, a gym, spa, coworking space and a social club with a cinema. Nueva Andalucía puts the golf valley on one side and Puerto Banús five minutes on the other, with Marbella centre at ten and everything in between — schools, clinics, Centro Plaza, the Saturday market — inside a short drive.
