Beachside Penthouse With Sea Views in Guadalmina Baja

Upon leaving the private lift to enter this duplex penthouse a sense of excitement fills the air, in anticipation of what is to be revealed. This property is vast, colorful and an amalgamation of different influences, all vying for your attention. The main floor stretches out to reveal a stunning living room split into two - one ever so slightly more formal than its companion but equally as aristocratic. Both are visible through an elegant archway which creates a sense of continuum with each one vastly illuminated via expansive glass windows and doors that offer a glimpse of the colossal terrace that wraps itself around the residence. High ceilings with classical moldings frame each room and create a feeling of grandeur, whilst rich artwork adorns the walls. A separate dining area takes its place adjacent to the more formal of the two living rooms, quietly placed by terrace windows and kept company by a fireplace offering the promise of gentle warmth in the winter months. The kitchen is wide, open and welcoming, with is summery blue floor tiles caressing underfoot and mirroring the colours in the backsplash tiles along with walls. Cupboard and storage space is plentiful thus leaving the countertops uncluttered whilst high end appliances feature throughout. Direct access is offered through glass terrace doors that frame the natural green areas outlining the view. The bedrooms are works of art…masterpieces in their own right, each one telling a different story to its guest but at the same time offering a baronial sanctuary in which to repose. Colours and hues stand out in each room - earthy pinks, warm claret, playful lavender and chic creams - all individual yet continuing the sensation of sophistication and nobility. Each bedroom features huge windows and terrace doors that allow swathes of natural light to flood in whilst offering a glimpse of the azure blue sky outside. All of the bedrooms reveal extensive walk through wardrobes yet it is the master suite on the uppermost floor that is the striking boudoir. Sumptuously sweeping across the top floor, it is lavishly appointed to take full advantage of a vast terrace that displays the swimming pool in all its glory, looking out across the treetops and over to the Mediterranean Sea. The solarium rises upwards still further to a terrace covered by a palapa, spectacular with its vaulted thatched ceiling. Views from here are all encompassing, sweeping around from the mountains at the rear across to the blue horizon of the sea. Each bedroom enjoys the privacy and luxury of its ensuite bathroom, all glorious with their mosaic tiles in heavenly shades that complement the bedroom it serves. From neutral palettes to warm blues each one is fully equipped with single or double sink units, walk in showers, bathtubs and vanity units. Yet, the most dazzling feature of this ravishing property is its seemingly boundless terrace that snakes around the residence offering ubiquitous views of the sea, mountain ranges and the perfectly kept gardens of the gated community that surround the communal pool. With just 28 neighbors, this beachside, highly sought after double-gated community offers 24 hour security, total privacy and tranquility yet is just minutes from the incredible beaches of Guadalmina Baja and only a stones throw from bars, first class restaurants, the marina and some of the finest golf course recognised along the coast. This property is a heady concoction of influences - from whimsical romanticisms to seductive Moorish fusions and Andalucian flair. It will encourage you in, take you room to room in a sense of wonderment, and leave you realizing that you need look no further. This is the extraordinary place you can now call home.
