Home description
This spacious ground floor apartment has three bedrooms and 2 bathrooms and a very large and safe balcony, which has has a covered eating area, a large sun terrace and a separate barbeque area.
The apartment has been furnished to a high standard and is fully air conditioned. It has a fully equipped kitchen, modern luxury furniture and flat screen TV with DVD. It's south facing location allows for afternoon and evening sun.
The apartment also benefits from a private pool and a health spa which includes a sauna, jacuzzi and a indoor pool
Located within an easy and short walking distance to the beach and the golf course the apartment provides an excellent base for a family holiday.
The resort has the Serra Nerada mountains as the backdrop, is very popular with Spanish holiday makers and will appeal to anyone wanting a quite beachside family holiday, to play a little golf and to explore an area with a typical Spanish feel.
Tourisium has yet to really hit this area and the appeal to us when buying the apartment was that it was not like the other over commercialised areas of Spain. You will not find all day English breakfasts being served but instead an area that is very popluar with the Spanish holiday maker, where free tapas is served and an easy going way of life is the order of the day. The resort is quiet but does have a small shop and bar close by. Whilst it is not really suitable for teenagers looking for an energetic night out, we have three children under 10 and they love having the beach so close, the pool and everything else the area has to offer.

The Costa Tropical/Granada region
This is an excellent base to explore this interesting, exciting and as yet unspoilt area of Spain.
The Costa Tropical of Granada is sheltered by the mountains of Sierra Nevada and so benefits from it's own micro climate and enjoys all year round sunshine. Temperatures in winter remain pleasantly warm and during the summer the days are long and hot.
The historic and culturally rich city of Granada, with the fabulous Alhambra Palace, is just a 45 minute drive - the Palace is absolutely stunning and is considered to be one of the 7 Wonders of the World - a visit here is a must. The city of Granada is fast becoming a popular City break and it maze old cobbled streets and interesting architecture makes it a great place to explore.
The family friendly ski resort of the Sierra Nevada is only a one hour drive away, with the resort open from December to April. Ski equipment and lessons if required are readily available, with a wide range of runs open to suit all abilities. The resort itself is very well served by hotels, apartments, restaurants, bars, and ski shops.
Salobrena / Playa Granada area
The area remains relatively unspoilt and with a lot less tourism than others areas in the Costa del Sol, it has a more traditional Spanish feel, and indeed comprises many Spanish owned holiday homes and weekend retreats.
Playa Granada is a new development built round a recently extended golf course. It is very close to Salobrena and Motril, and both of these are well served by all local amenities and large hypermarkets. Salobrena is an historic castle topped town surrounded by picturesque streets in it's old quarter, and with numerous restaurants and bars along it's extensive beach front. Motril is a more modern Spanish town, with it's large supermarket, designer shops, tapas bars and restaurants. Further along the coast are the nearby towns of Almunecar and Herradura, both very popular and well appointed tourist resorts. Nerja with its fantastic caves is just 35 minutes away.
The apartment is within the Los Moriscos Golf Club course itself and the 1st tee is a very short walk away. The clubhouse and restaurant is situated on the beach and we have spent many wonderful afternoons enjoying their hospitality whilst watching dolphins playing in the sea. A full driving range and practise facilities are available. The golf operates on a pay and play basis and provide the opportunity to play along side the beach on a number of holes. Green fees are cheap in relation to other golf in Spain but with the newly extended course the quality is high and the course represents an excellent challenge.
Playa Granada beach is well appointed and is a short walk away from apartment - in the summer it becomes very busy with Spanish holidays makers and this gives it a unique family feel. There is a small supermarket and a number of bars on the beach all within a short walk. Other good beaches are nearby at Salobrena, Almunecar and Herradura, and there are numerous coves tucked away all along the interesting coast line. Almunecar also has it's own water park, ideal for the family.
