Home description
This high quality, private complex has fantastic sea views, landscaped gardens and 2 swimming pools, where you can enjoy hours of quietly developing a sun tan. The ground floor apartment also has a private patio garden with BBQ, where you can relax to your heart's content.
There is something for everyone. The wonderful location is a golfer's haven, within easy reach of many excellent courses. It's only 5-10 minutes walk to a lovely, sandy beach, perfect for families, and the countryside and mountains behind are great for walkers and hikers.
A two minute drive away is the increasingly popular 'flagship' port of La Duquesa, with its bustling marina, bars, restaurants and supermarket. On what's often called the "New Golden Mile", Puerto de la Duquesa really is the Costa del Sol's best kept secret.

The Costa del Sol/Malaga region
The Costa del Sol is famous for its fantastic climate, excellent facilities, beautiful scenery and numerous places of interest.
Gibraltar is a 25 minute drive away. The amazing Moorish architecture of the Alhambra Palace at Granada makes a great day trip. So does Ronda, with its spectacular mountain scenery.
Marbella and Puerto Banus (20 minutes drive) are full of designer shops, expensive cars and beautiful yachts. Marbella's history dates back to 1600 BC and a visit to its beautiful "Old Town", with narrow streets, open squares, bars, restaurants and galleries, is a great idea.
Duquesa area
La Duquesa is in a great location, to the west of Marbella. This part of the Costa has only limited and well-managed development, which means it has kept much of its unspoilt scenery and local character. This has resulted in an excellent quality of life, with relaxed living, but still having easy access to all the amenities you could wish for.
The beautiful beaches are clean and not commercialised. The sea is calm and suitable for swimming. Duquesa Port has a large number of varied bars and restaurants, which open late into the night - many host live music too. The port is a hive of activity every night of the week.
There are several open air markets in local towns on different days of the week. Sabinillas has a lovely beach, promenade and a children's play area. Estepona has a Carrefour hypermarket - the best place for buying groceries, alcohol and hardware at reasonable prices. Here you'll also find an equestrian show, featuring the famous Andalucian Horses.
You can take a dolphin safari from Gibraltar, or visit a casino in Marbella, Puerto Banus or Gibraltar. A fantastic day out for all ages is the Selwo National Park near Estepona, where animals of the five continents live together in semi-wild conditions - highly recommended.
How to get there
Gibraltar airport is only 25 minutes drive, Jerez airport is 1 hr 20 mins and Malaga airport is about 55 minutes drive. Many low fare airlines fly direct to Malaga. For car hire at Malaga airport, carjet.co.uk is a good one to try. Monarch is a low cost airline that flies direct from Luton to Gibraltar. Easyjet now fly from Gatwick to Gibraltar too.
Car hire is recommended, but not essential - you can walk to the beach, supermarket, many shops and restaurants. The buses are cheap and reliable.
