Located just 200 metres from the beach, Las Arenas is a Mediterranean-style residential complex with a quiet feel, enhanced by beautiful, well-maintained gardens and a lovely community swimming pool.

A short walk to the beach and its wide and beautiful promenade, and just 5 minutes' walk from the vibrant new San Pedro boulevard as well as the town centre, with its fantastic selection of bars and restaurants, and all amenities such as supermarkets, pharmacies, banks and leisure facilities.

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, 3 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 and other more Spanish tapas bars. With plenty of shops, banks, supermarkets, as well as gyms and health and beauty facilities, everything in San Pedro is within a 5 to 10 minute walk.

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 and sunny winter days.

San Pedro also hosts the last summer fair (feria) in Andalucía, 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 natural park and the picturesque Serranía de Ronda, with plenty of hiking and mountain biking trails, pretty white villages, and fantastic scenery.

Distances:
A beachside property, just a 5-minute walk from the beach and walkable to Puerto Banús in around 20–30 minutes.

45 minutes by car to Malaga Airport or Gibraltar, 10 minutes from Marbella and Estepona.
