The shared pool has sunbeds and parasols for guests and also a kiddies paddling pool.

Coast/Beach
The marina is about a 5 minute walk and has several excellent restaurants and bars, art galleries and a dive centre. Adjacent to the marina is a small, sheltered shingle beach with safe swimming and some of the best diving in Southern Spain. La Herradura is about 1.5km away and has a 2km long horseshoe-shaped bay and a pleasant beach with several beach bars and restaurants.
Almunecar is the main town about 8km away with several large beaches, a water park, restaurants and many other facilities.

Golf
There are three 18 hole golf courses within half an hours drive. Athough none of these are championship courses they are in beautiful surroundings and considerably cheaper and less crowded than some of the more popular ones around Malaga.
Baviera golf is 20 minutes drive west toward Malaga close to Nerja.
Campo de Golf los Moriscos is 20 minutes drive east along the coast near Salobrena. This is a new 18 hole course with a green fee of 40 euros. Tee times can be booked with their English speaking staff and clubs can be hired.
The third course Motril-playa is another 10 minutes further on from Salobrena.

Skiing
The Sierra Nevada mountains are about an hour and half away with Spains best skiing and highest peaks. The main resort Solynieve is Europes sunniest ski resort and at 2200m also one of the highest, guaranteeing one of the longest ski seasons from early December to late April.
It is a surprisingly large resort with 23 lifts and 80 kilometers with good intermediate skiing and excellent nursery slopes for beginners.
There are many hotels and bars and the resort successfully mixes the Alpine apre-ski with traditional Spanish tapas. From the top of the Veleta at 3400m, you can on a clear day sea across the Medeterannean sea to the Atlas montains of Morocco.
Prices are considerably cheaper than most Alpine resorts.

Travel
Malage airport is 80km to the west with motorway to within 5km of the apartment giving a commute of around 50 minutes.
Granada airport is also about 80km but with less motorway taking around an hour. However, the airport is much quieter and the drive is spectacular with the towering Sierra Nevada mountains and beautiful valleys and gorges of the Alpjurras.
Due to the quiet location, car hire is strongly recommended for easy access to shops etc and to make the most of the stunning scenery.

Distances
Nerja is the start of the Costa del Sol and is 10 minutes drive west on the motorway or 20 minutes by the winding coast road. The beautiful mountain village of Frigiliana is 10 minutes from Nerja. The Marina and local beach are just a few hundred metres away.
The main local seaside town of Almunecar is about 8 kms and the coastal village of La Herradura about 2km. Granada and the Alhambra palace is about an hour inland with many beautiful villages nestling in the Alpjurras en route.

Further details
The small, exclusive marina has some beautiful boats to drool over whilst enjoying a meal or tapas at one of the several excellent restaurants. There are also several art galleries and shops. The adjoining Playa de los Berengueles is a small natural bay ideally suited to diving and snorkelling in the crystal clear waters. It has a lively beach bar where you can enjoy a meal or drink and also hire parasols and sunbeds. The local village of La Herradura stretches out along the 2km long bay with a number of seafront bars and restaurants. The village rises back uphill from the beach with a small market, a jumble of narrow streets with shops and a local supermarket.
Almunecar is a typically old Spanish seaside town, dating back to Roman times, and is overlooked by the remains of an old Moorish castle. The maze of narrow streets in the old quarter are crammed with a variety of shops, bars and restaurants which come alive at night. There is an excellent indoor market selling (cheap!) wonderful freshly caught fish and seafood and an amazing variety of exotic, locally grown fruit and vegetables - it is not surprising the area is called the Costa Tropical!
There are tropical gardens and parks to relax in, plazas with tapas bars and restaurants offering alfresco dining. The palm-lined promenade stretches several kilometres with many excellent restaurants and lively bars. There is also a large Aqua park with flumes and rides, which is open June until September.
Nerja is a 10 minute drive away and is a more developed resort, more typical of the neighbouring Costa del Sol, with sandy beaches and the beautiful Balcon de Europa promenade and pedastrianised shopping area.
The surrounding area is national park with many walking and cycle routes with pretty mountain villages dotted around the Alpajurras and slightly further afield in the Sierra Nevada. The beautiful city of Granada and the historic Alhambra palace are well worth a visit.
