The Costa del Sol region

This 2 bedroom 2 bathroom apartment is front-line beach in the attractive port of Puerto de la Duquesa, in Western Costa del Sol, Spain. It is close to Estepona and 30 minutes (40km) drive from the nearest airport at Gibraltar. The key Andalucian airport in Malaga is a 60 minute (80km) drive from the apartment. The glamour of Puerto Banus marina and Marbella are a 25 minute drive or a bus journey away.

The Costa del Sol and Andalucia specifically is varied and has much to offer. From the glamour of Puerto Banus and Marbella, the tradition of Ronda with its' old bull ring, the airport city of Malaga with its' museums and shops, and many quietly beautiful inland villages. There is much rural and agricultural beauty with kilometers of olive farms and a variety of local produce (including vegetables, wine and raisins, olives and oils). The stunning Granada and its' Alhambra palace is within Andalucia with its' neighbouring ski resort of Sierra Nevada where it's possible to ski in the morning and sunbathe in the afternoon.

It has the best climate in Europe and it is rightly named the 'Costa del Sol' boasting more than 300 days of sunshine so is perfect for a stay all year round. There is much to explore or you can stay close to the apartment and relax by the pool or in the beach in front of the development and stroll around Duquesa port and the old castle. There are only a handful of other apartment complexes within genuine walking distance of Duquesa and you do not need a car to enjoy your holiday here. As we are local we can help advise and recommend taxi or private transfers.

The Duquesa / Marina del Castillo area

The 2 bedroom 2 bathroom apartment with shared pool is situated on the beach front between Puerto de la Duquesa and Duquesa old town or El Castillo (the castle). The terrace of the apartment looks out to sea, across to Roman ruins and the beautiful castle in the old town Duquesa. From the apartment there are many bars, restaurants and shops within short walking distance.

The marina at La Duquesa has many bars, restaurants, shops and cafes for eating and drinking looking out on the picturesque port. There is American, Mexican, Chinese, Thai, Indian, Spanish, British (including good fish and chips), and Italian food available. There are several sports bars screening live sport as well as bars with live music. There are outdoor market stalls at weekends in the warmest months with clothes and jewellery. There are also several beach bars right by the apartment serving local fish, paella and other Spanish dishes, sangria and beers. They also hire sunbeds, umbrellas and provide beach side service.

The La Duquesa Golf Club and Hotel is a 10 minute walk from the apartment and includes a spa with treatment rooms and short stay golf membership is available as is day entry to the spa facilities. Other golf courses nearby include San Roque, Valderrama (Andalucia Valderrama Masters) and Finca Cortesin (Volvo Match Play).

There are family activities including Selwo safari park, whale watching and beaches at Tarifa (60 min drive away) for surfing and kite-surfing. The Duquesa beach is immediately in front of the apartment for sandcastle making, investigating rock pools and splashing in the sea. Gibraltar is a 30 minute drive away for duty-free shopping and sight-seeing of the old town and rock. Or there are bus services to the border at Gibraltar, Estepona and Marbella.

This is a largely undeveloped part of the Costa del Sol with many traditional Spanish villages and towns. A 5 minute further beachside walk from the port at La Duquesa takes you to the town of Sabinillas with many more restaurants, shops and cafes. 14 km inland is the much photographed traditional Spanish pueblo of Casares, known as the ´Hanging Village' as the white houses appear suspended on the hillside.

Best airports are Gibraltar (30 min drive) and Malaga (60 min drive). If you would rather relax in the local beaches and Port there is no need to hire a car, you can walk to many bars, restaurants and shops easily. Then consider Gibraltar as the taxi transfers are cheaper and the small airport quick to get through. If you are keen to explore the area and hire a car then Malaga makes sense as it's easy to pick up cheap car hire there. You can hire a car for just a few days from a long-established car rental business in Duquesa Port, a short walk from the apartment. You can get to Gibraltar from the UK with BA (Gatwick), Easyjet (Gatwick, Liverpool), Monarch (Luton, Manchester) and BMI baby (East Midlands). Malaga airport serves many UK and European airports.

“Fantastic place for a holiday” My wife and I visit Duquesa every summer and normally stay in a different apartment complex. This year we chose to stay in Marina de la Castillo, and we were very impressed. The complex is perfectly situated for us to make the most of the beach, the Port and the small village nearby called Castillo. The complex is fairly new and is finished to a high standard; it is very secure with keys needed to exit/enter the complex and there is 24 hour security. The pool area was very clean with enough sunbeds for everyone!! The pool itself was large, deep, very clean, and not too cold! The apartment was as described on the website. We were very happy in the apartment and thought that Zoe had provided some little touches which meant a lot i.e the provision of beach towels, hair-dryers in each bathroom, travel plugs in the drawer and a useful information file. The apartment was lovely and quiet yet only moments away from both the pool and the beach, and minutes walk along the beach to both the Marina area and Castillo. We shall be returning again next year as Duquesa as a whole, again lived up to our expectation.
