Further details outdoors:
The architecturally awarded urbanization of Las Tortugas de Aloha (Turtles of Aloha) is so named for it’s proximity to Turtle Lake; a protected and beautiful natural habitat for Turtles.
The south facing terraces in the apartment are both fitted with remotely controlled awnings which provide welcome cover in the height of summer or can be withdrawn to achieve a full sun trap effect during the winter.
One terrace is equipped with table and chairs for Al Fresco dining; the other with a sofa, footstool/table and arm chairs; an ideal host for a glass of rose in the evening while enjoying the fabulous views.
This gated urbanization also provides secure remote controlled underground parking with a lift to the apartment and patrolling security. The gated entrance is just down the stairs and controlled via intercom.
Nueva Andalucia is mostly residential and therefore enjoys a good provision of at least 10 restaurants and 2 supermarkets interspersed amid the villas and low rise apartments. The road up to Nueva Andalucia from Puerto Banus/Marbella is most picturesque with pink bouganvillae spilling over the walls of white-washed villas.

Las Tortugas is 50Km (40 mins by car) from Malaga airport. You can hire a taxi (approx. 60 Euros) or a car which is usually cheaper (& recommended). I use holidayautos.com and have never been able to beat them on price. They act as agents for all the hire companies at Malaga airport and search for the best price. Car Hire is pick up and drop off from within the building so very easy.
There is also a Bus Service which operates from directly outside the airport which goes to Marbella. From there it's a short taxi ride to Tortugas.

We liked to location, we liked the apartment, we liked the swimming pool and the shops which were not too far away. Some nice restaurants within easy reach and great night life in the town. The roads are good and well mapped for trips into the mountains and to other resorts along the coast. We will be back! |
