A vast sculptured swimming pool complex is at the centre of the EXOTIC & TRANQUIL MAR AZUL RESORT, enhanced by flowing canals, fountains, cascading waterfalls, a giant overflowing bowl, character islands, sunken deck-chairs, jacuzzi beds, pool-bar, and romantic thatched cabanas with lovely comfortable armchairs & settees. All this surrounded by lush & exuberant semi-tropical gardens, leisure centre, and only 72 super-luxurious apartments.
These apartments are arranged in an appealing "V" shape, facing South.
The open end of the "V" is purely beach & sea!
The resort is designed in such a way as to provide each apartment with the intimate privacy that one may expect from a private villa, AND with the views and facilities normally not !
This raised ground floor apartment with spacious terrace & private lawn is only a stone's throw from the beach & Sea, is perfectly situated right on the edge of the shallower inner pool, and it overlooks all the stunning pool areas, those spectacularly colourful gardens, and the glorious blue Mediterranean Sea beyond. Watch the fishermen drawing their nets into their boats from the comfort of your oown bed !
The large area provided by the terrace and our private lawn can be rendered child-friendly by the easy erection of the provided trellises to cover the openings in the front garden wall, and a gate to secure the 5 privacy steps down to the pool-side.
"STYLISH OUTSIDE LIVING" is what it is all about here at MAR AZUL.
Vast full-width sliding doors open from both the master bedroom and lounge onto the sun-drenched terrace, on which there is an attractive glass dining table, 6 comfortable chairs (2 of which recline) and two loungers.
This is the perfect place for those alfresco breakfasts in the morning.
The perfect place for spreading yourselves out and relaxing during the day.
The perfect place for a romantic candle-lit dinner in the evening till late.
Although the MAR AZUL apartments encompass the external charm of traditional rustic Andalusian architecture, no expense has been spared to provide the ultimate levels of luxury, comfort, convenience, and security within:-
Top of the range air-quality, heat & cool control system throughout the apartment;
Under-floor heating with independent control to every room, including entrance hall & bathrooms;
(The above two facilities combine to generate your perfect "personal" temperature at whatever time of year.)
Infinitely adjustable sunken halogen lighting incorporating "mood-lighting" in lounge & dining areas;
WiFi access throughout the apartment at no additional cost. Computer available at reception. There is good mobile phone reception;
High quality piped sound system throughout the apartment (including bathrooms & terrace) and a 42" Sony plasma TV completes that picture;
The poshest sofa bed you have likely ever seen just folds out ......without having to remove the cushions !.......into a "super-king-size-bed" with the bed-linen already on ! The pillows nestle in an inbuilt storage area.
This enables this apartment to sleep 6 VERY COMFORTABLY.

Fully integrated stainless-steel fridge, freezer, microwave & cooker.
Convenient feature marble serving-hatch to dining area.

The MAR AZUL resort really is a sophisticated and peaceful haven, and yet it is at the heart of Europe`s favourite recreational area, all the outstanding features of which are within a short drive:
The ultra-fashionable shops and high-class night-clubs of Marbella;
The amazing harbour and fabulous luxury yachts in nearby Puerto Banus;
The spectacular cliff-side views from the cable-car and ridge footpaths on the Rock of Gibraltar, the resident Barbary Apes, and those impressive war-tunnels hewn through the rock;
The prestigious golf-courses of Los Flamingos and El Pariso;
The DRIVE up the nearby 4,500 feet mountain of Los Reales, and the view DOWN onto the Griffon Vultures and the Bonellis eagles BELOW!
MAR AZUL’s outstanding beach-front location is further complemented by the VERY CLOSE PROXIMITY of the FIVE GREATEST ATTRACTIONS on this coast-line. ALL the following are within a 5 minute drive, the first 3 within easy walking distance:
==================================================
FIRST, our indoor leisure centre, which is an integral part of the MAR AZUL Resort, comprises a gorgeous heated pool, fully equipped gym, saunas and steam-room. All my guests have free & unlimited access to all those facilities.
==================================================
SECOND, and virtually next door, we have the world-renowned Kempinski Hotel Bahia Estepona, fully-fitted with “five superior stars”, and of-course with the serious facilities to match. It has a choice of fantastic restaurants (you just MUST try their Sunday Brunch !) cafes, beach bars, water sports centre, children’s playground, and beach volleyball courts.
==================================================
THIRD, our latest addition, the “LAGUNA VILLAGE”, just an easy 6 minute walk along the beach from MAR AZUL, offers a totally unique fusion of :-
22 exclusive shops (including Hugo Boss & Amani)
"PUROBEACH", a trendy & luxurious beach-club with heated swimming lagoons surrounded by elegant king-size-sun-beds with proper thick matresses, de-luxe privacy tents, and big fluffy white towelling robes !
Elegant restaurants, including Sushi & Italian, a tapas bar, cafes, bistro, & bakery !
Like no other shopping centre in the world, the “LAGUNA VILLAGE” offers the opportunity:-
............ to take a refreshing dip in a pool and to soak up the tropical ambiance where music plays all day
............ to avail yourself of a cocktail with the sand at your feet and the blue Mediterranean Sea directly in front of you
............ to visit those prestigious shops, chic bars, and intimate restaurants between dips in this tropical palm oasis built right on the beach !
Like no other, this is the place for the global nomad to be truly pampered!
==================================================
FOURTH, the Selwo Adventure Park, just five minutes drive away.
From the "comfort" of an ex-army truck, you get REALLY close-up to more than 2,000 animals from every continent, living in semi-freedom in a huge wilderness covering a million square metres.
Walk across ravines on rope-bridges, and through a bird sanctuary in a valley totally enclosed in netting !
This is a "MUST-DO" for all families.
====================================================
The I've left the very best to the end.....Estepona !
Of all the major attractions along the coast of the Costa del Sol, Estepona stands out from the crowd, and it's only 5 minutes in a taxi from MAR AZUL along an extremely attractive tree-lined boulevard with lovely fountains, or a 30 minute amble along the promenades and beach. Estepona is the focal point of this luxury resort area because of it’s authentic and unspoilt Andalusian atmosphere.
Estepona is a real living Spanish town of 30,000 souls, the ebb & flow of Estepona’s daily and seasonal rhythms moves very much as it has done for centuries, reminiscent of another unchanging ebb & flow, that of the shimmering turquoise sea rippling up it’s beautiful wide sandy beach.
The pace of life of the inhabitants, whilst perky in the morning, slows right down as the sun reaches it’s highest point, only to erupt into lively exuberance as the sun sets and the young and old alike fill the quaint narrow cobbled streets, the atmospheric cafes, superb sea-food restaurants, and the locals' bars and tapas bars in all the pretty squares.
