About this property

Air-conditioned apartment with stunning sea views & large ground floor terrace

'Solymar', a newly refurbished ground floor, 2 bed apartment situated in Marbessa – Elviria on the Costa del Sol, with frontline beach location and uninterrupted views of the sea. Located 40 minutes from Malaga airport and 10 minutes from Marbella town centre, Solymar is in a fantastic location for you to take full advantage of all the Costa del Sol has to offer from beaches to mountains, golf , tennis, kite-surfing, shopping and entertainment.
The apartment has 2 air-conditioned bedrooms both furnished with single beds, bedside tables, desk with chair and built in wardrobes. The main bedroom has fantastic sea views and an en suite bathroom. The second bedroom has a well appointed bathroom adjacent. A fully equipped kitchen was installed in June 2015 complete with modern units & Spanish granite worktops, dishwasher, washing machine, fridge freezer, oven, microwave and ceramic hobb. A large arch from the kitchen opens to the lounge area with great views of the terrace and sea beyond.
For comfort the lounge is air-conditioned with a leather sofa and a sofa bed, modern oak furniture, flat screen TV, DVD player &, wifi. A glass dining with seating for 6 allows you to dine inside on cooler evenings. Push back the sliding patio doors to the large patio with sun awning and terrace beyond, there you can relax on a lounger, dine alfresco at the 6 seater table or rest on the patio sofas with a chilled drink.
A short flight of steps lead down from the terrace to the garden and from there you can access the gardens, outdoor pool & sandy beach beyond. Playa Real is a secure complex with a transparent fence around the garden with a resident gate access to the beach. If mobility is an issue, there are several short flights of steps to access both the apartment and beach.
A short walk along the beach brings you to one of several Chiringuitos where you can enjoy a drink or a lovely Spanish meal. Further along walking east brings you to Cabopino with a delightful marina, several restaurants and of course ‘Andy’s bar’ on the beach. Walk west and you can make your way all the way to Marbella town with many places to stop on the way for refreshments.
Playa Real boasts 2 pools; a large outdoor pool with sun loungers and a bar in the summer and a heated indoor pool with sauna (small fee payable at the reception for using the indoor pool, bathing caps must be worn). Well kept tranquil gardens separate the complex from the beach, just stroll through the beach gate to enjoy one of the finest sandy beaches in Marbella.
Looking for more than a beach and pool? With easy access to the A-7 all the sights and amenities of the Costa del Sol are within reach or you can venture inland to visit to historical towns of Rhonda or Seville. No car? No problem, you can still explore the area, the buses into Marbella and Fuengirola are reliable, inexpensive and frequent or take a taxi along the coast.
Pass under the iconic Marbella Andalucia arch then onto the real Marbella, no visit is incomplete without wandering around Marbella old town where you get a feel of the traditional Spain, enjoy flamenco dancing or eating in one of the many restaurants.

Please note that during the current COVID-19 pandemic some amenities, shops & restaurants may be closed or have limited opening.

It's a very nice property and great views of the sea. The apartment is very well supplied too. It is right next door to a restaurant and it is not easy to navigate to the beach. There is easy access to the local buses for sightseeing and shopping.

Perfect Location
My wife and I stayed here March 1-31, 2024. Stephen is excellent with correspondence replying to our questions promptly. He even assisted in arranging transportation from the Malaga bus station to and from the apartment. The spacious and well-equipped apartment is in an excellent location. The beds are comfortable. The living room and large patio have perfect views of the ocean. The only thing between the apartment and the beach is the lawn. Depending on the tide you can take long walks on the beach. I recommend having a car to explore the area as there are many interesting mountain villages to visit. There is a restaurant next door serving excellent food and they’re several other restaurants a short walk along the beach. A small well stocked grocery store is a 5-minute walk from the apartment. Larger markets and other shopping are not far away. The larger community of Marbella is short. 15-minute drive away.

Great stay at beach apartment
We thoroughly enjoyed our 2 week stay in this lovely beach apartment. The kitchen was well equipped, the bathrooms were clean, and the furniture was well maintained and comfortable. The location is perfect right in front of the beach and there’s plenty of restaurants along the beach to choose from. The pool and surrounding areas are kept in a good condition though we didn’t make use of them and instead opted for the beach. Parking was easy right outside the block of apartments. Best feature is the sea view from the massive terrace. The terrace door is quite stiff and difficult to open and close, which I mentioned to the host. Host is very responsive and accommodating.

On the beach
It would be hard to find an apartment closer to the beach than this one. You can go from the terrace to the sea in 1 minute. With a huge terrace, bedrooms and living room with large areas, fully equipped kitchen, air conditioning and wi-fi, you have everything for a well spent vacation. A little far from the center of Marbella, but... everything else is excellent. I will try to come back to this house if I ever come back to Marbella.

A really friendly place to be at , We meet a lot of people and our son ( 4 years) made à lot of New friends by the pool. A really god place for a family we think.

About the host

Hosted by Stephen Burrell

Host profile image
My name is Deborah Burrell, with my husband Stephen we have three children. We are both professionals working in healthcare and live in Hertfordshire. Our children are currently at University & studying for exams so a relaxing 'bolt hole' is just what we all need.

We work hard, often very long hours and really look forward to our holidays in the sunshine. We have spent many days and evening discussing the refurbishment and furniture for the apartment, hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

We spent a quite a while choosing a property because we were certain we had to have a sea view and we would not compromise on that, not just a view from a distance or between other developments but a clear view where you can hear the waves -with only a secure terrace and garden between us and the sea this certainly fits the bill.

With 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms a large lounge/dinner and a kitchen with a view of the sea, this apartment is perfect for adults & families looking for a holiday situated on the beach but close enough to all the amenities of the Marbella and costa del Sol region.

Young children? Just pop across the garden to the beach, no lengthy trips in a hot car or up countless steps to retrieve left items. Stay at our apartment and you and your children can play on the beach then wander back to the apartment for lunch or a siesta. (no worries about where the nearest toilet is!)

Situated in the Marbessa-Elviria area the complex is quiet & secluded but close to beach side restaurants, within walking distance of the local supermarket and just a short drive to Elviria centre with plenty of shops and restaurants. Marbella, Puerto Banus, Fuengirola & Estapona are only a short drive away. The airport in Malaga is only 30 miles away.

What makes this property unique

This great apartment with its stunning sea view and easy access to the beach is fantastic for adults and children alike. With air-conditioning/heating, free wifi, flat screen TV & DVD player we aim to make your stay comfortable and relaxing. Completely redecorated with new furniture, electrics and a new kitchen 'Solymar' is a home from home with all the conveniences you expect in a smart holiday apartment.

Very few properties can claim the beach is just a 35 metres stroll to the beach!

Enjoy a dip in the pool or stroll along the beach to the many Chiringuitos. The world famous 'Nikki Beach' can be found around 10 minute walk down the beach, walk along to Cabopino marina for lunch or dinner or enjoy one of the many beach side restaurants.

The large secure terrace is well appointed with 2 sofas, a coffee table, large dining table with chairs and sun loungers.

Relax in tranquil surroundings or take a short drive to the A-7 to access the Costa del Sol and Andalusia.
