APARTAMENTOS LA PELUSA, Malaga

The property sits in a residential area on Malaga's eastern coast, within easy walking distance of El Palo beach (5-7 minutes) and El Chanquete beach (6 minutes). Bus stops for lines 3 and 11 are right outside, offering direct service to Malaga city centre in 20-35 minutes for around €2.80 return. The Gibralfaro Viewpoint and Picasso Museum are 6 km away. Supermarkets (including Mercadona), bakeries and a local market are within 5-12 minutes on foot. The neighbourhood is safe and quiet, away from the main tourist strips. Malaga Airport is 22 km away; a taxi ride or the bus connection via the city centre covers the transfer.

Units are furnished in a modern style and come with air conditioning, soundproof walls, a flat-screen satellite TV and a washing machine. The kitchenette includes a hob/microwave, toaster, refrigerator, kettle and basic cookware. All studios have a private bathroom with shower and hairdryer. Some studios include a private balcony or terrace; others look onto a central shared courtyard with garden access - when booking, the photos show the specific terrace for each apartment. Bed sizes vary: double beds are standard, with some units offering two single beds or a sofa bed. Many apartments get good natural light, especially those facing east. Road-facing rooms are quieter than expected due to the building's soundproofing, but light sleepers may still prefer a rear-facing unit.

Each apartment's kitchenette comes with a microwave, toaster, refrigerator, kettle and cookware, making it easy to prepare simple meals. There is no on-site restaurant or breakfast service. Within a short stroll along the beachfront boulevard are a range of local eateries, including El Narval Marisqueria, Canta El Gallo, Bar la Herradura, Restaurante Antonio and Sheriff Playa, all about 0.5 km away. A Mercadona supermarket is a 5-minute walk, perfect for stocking up on groceries. For a wider choice of dining and tapas bars, the lively El Palo promenade is a 10-minute walk.

Wellness and leisure facilities centre on the shared garden area with sun loungers and a terrace, ideal for relaxing between beach trips. Direct beach access is a 5-minute walk away, where guests can swim, sunbathe or stroll along the promenade. The nearby El Palo beach is sandy and less crowded than central city beaches. Free beach chairs, umbrellas and towels are available from the property. A golf course is within 3 km (additional charge), and tennis courts can be found off-site.
