Apartment for holiday rental in San Pedro de Alcantara, Marbella, Málaga

Beachfront apartment in San Pedro de Alcántara, Marbella

The apartment
The perfect holiday apartment, beautiful pool and sea views, just metres away from the beach, with all the space and equipment you need for a fantastic vacation.

2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms. The apartment has a well-equipped kitchen with microwave, fridge/freezer and washing machine. There is also cable TV with some international channels, and a dishwasher. There is access via elevator to the underground parking space that also comes with the apartment.

The complex
Las Arenas is a beautifully manicured and presented complex. It boasts a choice of two swimming pools set in tropical gardens, only a five-minute walk to the beach and the promenade, and the same distance to the town, making it a superb choice for both holidaying and golfing trips.

Just outside the complex is the lovely beach promenade and the long, wide beach, which is quiet and pleasant even in the height of summer. The promenade and beaches are dotted with good, local beach restaurants and bars, making it a lovely spot to spend a summer afternoon.

A short walk brings you to the popular new Boulevard of San Pedro, as well as the town centre, with plenty of shops, cafés and restaurants, along with amenities and leisure facilities such as bike rentals and guided tours.

Just 10 minutes from Marbella and 5 minutes from Puerto Banús, the apartment is an ideal base to explore the wider Costa del Sol, as well as inland to the traditional towns and cities such as Ronda, Seville, Malaga and Granada. Just a 45-minute drive from both Malaga and Gibraltar airports, the complex is convenient and easily accessible.

If you are looking for a holiday rental that puts you minutes from the beach, in peaceful and beautiful surroundings, yet close to everything, this apartment and the development it is located in are a must see.

The area
San Pedro de Alcántara is a thriving town located just 10 minutes west of Marbella, yet has retained its small-town charm despite a considerable rise in popularity and facilities.

10 minutes from Marbella, 5 from Puerto Banús, 10 minutes from Estepona, and 45 minutes from Malaga or Gibraltar airport. It occupies a fantastic location in the middle of everything yet quiet and relaxed.

The central point of the town is the recently finished Boulevard de San Pedro: a long and wide walkway with footbridges, cycle paths, an amphitheatre, fountains, plenty of play areas, three good bar/restaurants and regular events and street markets. The boulevard has rapidly become the place to go for San Pedro residents and tourists.

From the boulevard, a pedestrianised street stretches north to the church square with its pretty local church. The street is lined with dozens of cafés for watching the world go by, as well as popular and fashionable bars such as La Sala and other Spanish tapas bars. With plenty of shops, banks, supermarkets, gyms and health and beauty facilities, everything in San Pedro is within a 5- or 10-minute walk down its winding streets.

South from the boulevard, along a wide tree-lined avenue, is the beach, with a wide and long promenade and an equally spacious beach. With plenty of beachside bars and restaurants (chiringuitos), it is a popular place on a summer day and at the weekends in the warm, sunny winter days.

San Pedro also hosts the last summer fair (feria) in Andalucia, celebrating its patron saint during the second week in October.

Within a short drive is the small white village of Benahavís, as well as the beauty of the Sierra de Las Nieves and Serrania de Ronda natural parks, with plenty of hiking and mountain biking trails, pretty white villages and fantastic scenery.

A refreshingly unspoilt town, with recent developments only adding to the excitement and appeal of the town, San Pedro de Alcántara is one of the most demanded locations on the Costa del Sol for property sales and long-term rentals, and it is hugely popular as a summer holiday destination.
