This apartment in Nueva Andalucia feels like it sits at the top of the world. A penthouse with a huge outdoor terrace, there are views for days from here. Spending time out in the Andalucian sun, you can lie up on a lounger all day, fire up the grill as the sun sets and plunge into the private swimming pool when the heat gets too much. Marble floors and white walls keep things cool inside, while a wall of glass lets the sunlight stream in. Apart from crisp white and cream, the pops of colour come from natural wood and plant-green accents, keeping things feeling natural. The sleek white kitchen with its island has plenty of prep space and there’s a sunny breakfast table inside if you’re not taking advantage of the terrace for every meal. In terms of location, you’re up in the hills, a short drive from the beach at Playa de Levante where the shore is lined with bars and restaurants. The golf courses of Nueva Andalucia are just down the road.
