Marbella has a unique climate, with weather during the winter months reaching a pleasant 20 degrees or more, perfect for all the sightseeing available in the area or a game of Golf or Tennis. In the Spring and Autumn temperatures hover around a very pleasant 25 degrees or more and in the summer months it is the ideal time to dress down for days on the beach, enjoying the water sports, shopping, sight seeing and much more. Watch the world go by at one of the many cafes and restaurants located within the harbour area or stroll the many boutiques and bars available within a short walk of each other. Marbella / Los Flamingos Golf Resort areaLos Flamingos 5 star golf complex and resortHaving driven around much of the Marbella and Costa Del Sol areas, I have found The Los Flamingos area to be one of the most attractive and pleasant not to mention exceptionally well located developments on the coast. Golfers enjoy superb views of the Mediterranean, Africa and Gibraltar while experiencing all the unique demands the challenging golf course has to offer. The course is landscaped around a lake and bird sanctuary with a variety of fruit trees, cypresses and pines. Other facilities include an extensive practice area, putting greens and a short 9 hole course. The spectacular Ritz-Carlton 5-star hotel “Villa Padierna” offers two restaurants, a Golf academy, a golf shop with everything you'd ever need and the cosy “La Cantina” bar makes a great venue to relax after a few holes. The hotel also has a spa with indoor pool, sauna and eight therapeutic baths. You will also find many other internationally renowned courses within 30 minutes drive including La Quinta, Las Brisas, Marbella, Los Naranjos, Atalaya, Los Arqueros, La Duquesa, Guadalmina, El Paraiso, Aloha. BeachThe local sandy beach is 5 minutes drive away and provides water sports, bars and cafes. A short 10 minute drive up the main road leads to Laguna Beach - an unspoilt beach and shopping area frequented by celebrities and local beautiful people. A great place to unwind and relax. MarbellaJewel of the Costa del Sol and the whole of the Mediterranean. Marbella holds a special charm for the visitor contrasting the sea, the mountains, and the famous '0ld Town' with the 'Orange Square'. Entertainment and leisure are high on the list in and around Marbella, Casinos, superb restaurants of every nationality, cinemas, shopping centres, numerous golf courses and every other sporting facilities available. Frequented by film stars, wealthy arabs and football stars Marbella is famous for its high class shopping where all the top world class designer labels can be found. Puerto BanusLos Flamingos is a quick 10 minute drive from the world famous Puerto Banús Marina where Europe's rich, famous and beautiful come to hang out. The restaurants here present the finest food available with prices being surprisingly affordable - picassos pizza reataurant is a great example. Puerto Banus is a great place to stroll, relax, people watch, shop and dine not to mention a few drinks along the way. Sean Connery, Antonio Banderas and Melanie Griffiths have houses here so don't be surprised if you bump into them! Look for famous European footballers around the marina area.
RondaRonda is nestled amongst the Sierra Blanca mountains. The oldest Bullring in Spain is reached easily within 45 minutes. One of Andalucia’s most beautiful towns, Ronda is steeped in history. It is famous throughout Spain for the plunging river gorge that divides the medieval from the 18th century parts of the town - don't forget your camera! Known as El Tajo (The Cliff), the gorge is spanned by a stone bridge, which once housed a prison. Try standing on the bridge and stare down at the waters of the River Guadalevin. Ronda is also famous for its bullring, which is the oldest and arguably most historic in Spain - the arena itself is also the country’s largest. The bullring is open to visitors when the fights are not on. Ronda is a great place to visit if you want to experience traditional charm in a tourist friendly breathtaking location. Shopping & Cash machines
For food and drink there is a very well stocked Mercadona supermarket on your right just as you enter the Los Flamingos development. They even stock Kingsmill bread, Heinz baked beans and everything else you'd ever need including fresh seafood, wine from only 1 euro per bottle up to top quality french brands, pizza, quality cereals and much more. The cash machine is located outside the main entrance of the supermarket. Using your debit card to obtain Euros usually works out cheaper than using cash currency conversion services. If you fancy a large mall type environment there is the huge LA Canada shopping mall for everything you'd expect at a large hyper mall including great value clothes, entertainment, restaurants, cheap electronics, and more.

"My trip out to Spain was fantastic. Had loads of fun and laughs, and made some good friends as a result. I will definitely go back again.
Deep's apartment was really good, the whole place was tranquil, views were awesome, good place to let your mind free of daily stress. The apartment it self is of a very high standard. I will definitely go back, but this time take my wife with me, so she can also experience the environment.
The complex of "Los Flamingos" is truly brilliant and if you are a golfing person you just have to go. Lots to do and see.
We went to quite a few places in Spain, and every place was really good, Puerto Banus what can I say but, truly beautiful place.
Loved the whole experience. Deep on a personal note THANKS FOR A BRILLIANT TIME AND EXPERIENCE." Sunny Patel Birmingham

The luxurious and comfortable interior of the apartment: The living room is spacious and comfortable... Relax, eat, read a book, play on the Xbox, watch Sky TV or even pop in a DVD movie... The apartment has two spacious bathrooms each with power shower, bath and his and her sinks... 
The kitchen has everything you'll need to rustle up a quick snack or a luxurious banquet for your friends and family! All the usual mod cons are available including full set of crockery and cutlery, cooking pots & pans, microwave, fridge/freezer, grill, oven & hob, washing machine and tumble dryer not to mention plenty of storage space... - Overall how did you find the trip and would you go back? "An excellent trip with like minded people." - What did you think of my apartment and the views? "Spectacular views across the 5 star golf course and Mediterranean sea." Would you consider staying there again? "I plan to stay there very soon !!!" - What did you think of the Los Flamingos complex and the golf course? "5 Star quality" - Did you like the Puerto Banus area? "Puerto Banus has it all... a millionaires playground but its also teeming with excellent facilities and opportunities for those of us operating on a slightly lesser budget !!!" Cheers Nick Fox Milton Keynes |
To relax I sit on the balcony and just watch the world go by. Just out side (literally a few metres away) is one of the top rated golf courses in Spain. Here is a picture from my balcony... Here's the view from the balcony - on a clear day you can even see Africa on the horizon! There is even a 5* Ritz-Carlton hotel and spa facility a 5 minute walk away (I often go here for dinner with my friends and family)... The hotel itself is simply stunning. Lots to do for all the family and great food too - a must see if you're in the area! This is the impressive lobby area of the hotel...  Beautiful surroundings for entertaining or a romantic evening... Relax and rejuvenate at the hotel spa... Full range of spa, massage and health facilities available... I'm a big fan of the sauna - just 5 minutes walk down the road too!
And that's not all - you also get... Some of the best golf in Spain - the Flamingos Golf Club next to the apartment has already attained well-deserved international renown for the high level of quality it offers. For three consecutive years it's been the venue for the European Senior Final and The Daily Telegraph European Seniors Match Play Championship. The club currently has one course, Flamingos Golf and will shortly be opening Villa Padierna Golf and Briján Golf and in the near future the Flamingo Norte. The resort's crowing glory is its prestigious 5-star Hotel Villa Padierna Operated by The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company Secure underground parking (drop me a line if you want to rent a car while you are out there and I will direct you to the best deals)... 24 hour security guard just outside the apartment plus another two 24 hour guards on the entrance as you enter the development... Plus you've got a secure remote controlled electric gate (to which only residents have the remote control) to allow access for people in and out of the actual block itself at any time of the day or night... Three spacious and clean swimming pools for you to use at any time of the day for as long as you like...
 Here's one of the swimming pools you have available for you to use at any time of the day for as long as you like (check out the view!)... "How Much Does It Cost To Fly To There And How Long Does The Flight Take?" Flights start from just £35 return to Malaga airport (that's including all taxes and fees). I have found Easyjet, Thomsonfly.com, BMI Baby and Ryanair to offer the best prices. You'd be hard pressed to find a British airport that does not have flights to Malaga airport! You can also fly to Gibraltar for exactly the same amount of travel time - the flight time is around three hours. From the airport its just a one hour drive (either rental car or taxi) straight down major roads right to the apartment. "Can I Go At Any Time Of The Year (Including Summer)?" Yes the apartment is available year round but please book early if you want to reserve it during busy times as free slots tend to go very quickly. "Is It Located Within A Family Friendly Area?"Yes the area is very family friendly. By car you can get to the beach, local shopping area with huge kids play area, cinema, restaurants and everything else you'd expect to get back at home. Even the local zoo is just around the corner from the apartment. You also get storage space outside ideal for golf equipment and deckchairs... and just 10 minutes walk or a short drive to the beautiful beach - I often go here to read a book or just relax in the sun... If you prefer to venture out, ten minutes in the car and you 'll reach Puerto Banus, San Pedro and Estepona for some of the best restaurants, bars and nightlife in Spain! "Are All The Usual Amenities Nearby?" There is a great supermarket just five minutes drive down the road. It is very well stocked with fresh produce at very low prices. In fact, the low price of fresh produce really surprised me! For example, you can buy fresh sea food for far less than you'd pay here in the UK and you get much better quality out there too. Fine wines (especially the Spanish varieties) are also very cheap too. We're talking two or three pounds for a bottle that would cost at least ten pounds here :) Oh and there are also a selection of great restaurants just down the road (ten minute walk). My personal favourite is the Indian restaurant Cinnamon. Lovely fresh food and very authentic too. If driving or taking a cab then you are just 10 minutes from the romantic and enchanting Estepona, San Pedro is nearby as are Marbella and Puerto Banus. The Puerto Banus area is a busy harbour full of luxury yachts, exotic cars, beautiful people and lots to do for everyone - well worth a visit.  "Whereabouts In Spain Is The Apartment Located?"  "How Many People Can Stay At The Apartment?" I have had six people stay at the apartment - two couples (one bedroom per couple) and two on the comfortable inflatable bed in the living room. Some people prefer to go on their own or to take just one or two other people - how ever many friends & family you decide to take I promise you will have a very rewarding and enjoyable time! "How Much Does It Cost To Stay There And What Are Your Terms?"The price depends on when you decide to go (low, mid or peak season). Meet and greet transport to/from the airport can be catered for upon request. A non-refundable 25% booking deposit is required to reserve the apartment with the balance payable in full 3 months before departure. Please note that no refund can be made on cancellation. "Hi Deep Id like to thank you for organising the recent trip to Spain. It was perfect timing for me - I was feeling the need to get away, and your mail invite met that need perfectly.
On getting to your apartment - I could easily see why you bought it. The views from the balcony were gorgeous - African mountains in the distance! And the whole apartment was beautiful. Its always nice to be somewhere that you have a view over the water - and the golf course that is in front of your balcony view also looks lovely. A relaxing venue, and it helped that the skies were blue the whole time!
All in all a great place, and great people - thanks for having me participate."
