The Property
This two-bedroom apartment is in the Las Adelfas complex in Nueva Alcantara, a first-line beach position in San Pedro de Alcantara. The beach is around 50m away, directly across the road from the complex entrance. It sleeps up to four guests. The apartment is on the first floor and arranged on a single level, with a south-facing terrace overlooking the communal pool and gardens. The terrace is connected directly to the main living area and receives sun through most of the day, while the pool and mature greenery create a more open outlook than many apartments within the complex. Inside, the apartment combines practical living spaces with a more traditional layout. The living and dining area opens onto the terrace through large sliding doors, while the independent kitchen is positioned separately from the main living space. The layout works well for guests wanting clear separation between the bedrooms and shared living areas. The pool, gardens and beach access are all within a short walk from the apartment entrance.

The Terrace
The terrace overlooks the communal pool and mature gardens from a first-floor position, with an open and unobstructed outlook across the centre of the complex. One of the pools sit below, making the terrace feel closely connected to the outdoor areas without being at ground level. A covered pergola provides shade over part of the terrace, which is arranged with a dining table and chairs as well as a separate lounge sofa seating area. The combination of covered and open space allows the terrace to be used at different times of day, whether for meals, reading or time outside. The south-facing orientation means the terrace receives sun through most of the day, while the garden and pool views create a more open setting than many apartments within the complex.
Location
The apartment is in the Las Adelfas complex in Nueva Alcántara, the beachside neighbourhood of San Pedro de Alcantara. San Pedro beach is around 50 metres away on foot, directly across the road from the complex entrance. The beach is wide and generally uncrowded. The sand is darker and slightly coarse, typical of this stretch of the Costa del Sol, and in some areas the shoreline can be slightly stony when entering the water, so aqua shoes can be useful. The promenade runs along the seafront for several kilometres and connects directly to Puerto Banus to the east. Many guests are surprised that you can walk all the way there along the seafront. It is lined with beach restaurants (chiringuitos), cafes, cycle lanes and playgrounds. Walking there along the promenade takes around 30 to 40 minutes. We provide one complimentary beach towel per guest for the duration of your stay.

“It’s unusual to find such a well laid out beachside development with all the old town facilities just a few hundred yards away. Plenty of nice eateries nearby. Also liked the palm tree lined paseo with loads of parking alongside, and the separate local pathways for joggers and cyclists. The apartment was very clean, there was plenty of storage space, a very neat dishwasher. Only used the aircon on one occasion - worked fine. All regular UK TV stations.” - John, United Kingdom
San Pedro itself is quieter than Puerto Banus and is a proper Spanish town with a year-round community. Local restaurants, bars and supermarkets are all within easy reach. The nearest supermarket is around 15 minutes away. Puerto Banus is 10 to 15 minutes by car, or accessible along the promenade. For day trips further along the coast or into the hills, a car is useful but not essential for daily life. Day to day, most guests settle into a simple pattern: morning at the pool or on the beach, lunch at one of the chiringuitos along the promenade, and afternoons back on the terrace with the awning out. Puerto Banus is a short drive if you want something livelier, but most guests find they do not need to go far.

“A very spacious apartment and in close proximity to the beach, local restaurants and shops. We really enjoyed our stay and look forward to visiting again.” - Ali, Ireland
“Spent almost 3 months in this apartment from October to December 2021. For 2 of us the size and condition was great with enough room to accommodate a couple of visitors from time to time. The location literally right next to the beach cannot be beaten and the town of San Pedro is close by with its mix of old Spanish town and modern facilities. Lots going on here without the hedonistic noise and activities of Marbella and other locations on the Costa del Sol. Cannot give a better recommendation for this property and agency.” - David, Canada
The area has a typical Mediterranean climate with long warm summers and mild winters. Being on the coast, sea breezes keep temperatures noticeably cooler than inland Andalusia, particularly in the height of summer. Spring and autumn are often particularly good for walking, golf and outdoor dining. Winter can bring cooler and occasionally rainy spells, which surprises some guests. December to February are the quieter months and while sunny days are common, pack layers and do not rely on beach weather.

The beach, nearest chiringuitos and restaurants are all within a short walk. It is a mix of holiday homes and permanent residents with a settled neighbourhood feel. Las Adelfas is a no-party urbanisation. The building has a lift.
Pool season: one pool is open from the start of Easter week until approximately the end of October. A second pool operates during peak summer, in July and August only. Both pools are closed from late October until Easter week. Opening and closing dates may vary depending on weather conditions, and daily opening times are set by the Las Adelfas administration.

Who Stays Here
This apartment suits couples and small families, with space for up to four guests across two bedrooms. It can also work well for two couples travelling together, with one bedroom set up with a queen-size bed and the second with two single beds. The layout keeps the bedrooms separate from the main living and terrace areas, while the terrace itself provides additional space for dining or spending time outside overlooking the gardens and pool. The combination of pool-facing outdoor space, lift access and proximity to the beach makes the apartment practical for guests wanting a straightforward beachside stay with everything within walking distance.
Recent reviews:
“We stayed for 9 nights beginning of May. It was more than adequate for a family of 4 with 2 bathrooms and bedrooms. A large kitchen and living space. The complex was also spacious and clean. There was only one pool open at the time of year we visited which was fine and we were told to expect that. There was plenty of sun loungers and the pool area was quiet and lifeguards present. The area of San Pedro was nice, a child friendly area, quiet. We had a car for our whole stay and ventured to other resorts and areas within Marbella which is more our thing than staying in one spot so it was a good base to explore. There are some good restaurants in San Pedro within walking distance. We were able to park our hire car in an underground parking space dedicated to the apartment.” - Sally, United Kingdom
“It was spacious and in a perfect location for a super family holiday!” - Daria
