VIP Almería is proud to introduce a very special, move-in-ready property that offers a rare combination of elevated sea views and full limited-mobility access. Situated in a spectacular location, this apartment sits directly next door to the historic Palacio de Marina-originally built by the first Marquis de Chávarri and today known as the prestigious Hotel Alegría Palacio and Spa.
The unique architecture of this residential complex was carefully designed to blend seamlessly with the palace's heritage, making it a truly landmark development and an absolute must-see on Mojácar Playa.
The Property:
Spanning a generous 103.30m², this part-furnished apartment is designed around comfort, space, and the incredible vistas. The accommodation features a beautifully presented, bright open-plan lounge and dining area that opens up to offer a very comfortable living space, perfectly positioned to capture the natural light.
Adjacent to the living space is a separate, fully fitted kitchen. It comes complete with all electrical appliances and offers a unique cooking backdrop, with windows framing views across the golf course straight out to the blue horizon.
A central hallway provides access to two very generous double bedrooms, both equipped with high-quality fitted wardrobes. The property benefits from two full bathrooms-an independent shower room and a larger family bathroom. Comfort is guaranteed year-round with integrated air conditioning installed throughout.
Outdoor Living & Amenities:
Step outside onto the impressive 39m² private terrace, an ideal layout for lounging, dining, and soaking in the views of the communal pool, golf course, and the sparkling coastline stretching from Garrucha Marina to the blue-flag beaches. For ultimate privacy and sun tracking, the property also includes its own private solarium.
The gated community itself mirrors resort-style living. Onsite amenities include a large, impeccably maintained infinity-style pool, a smaller splash pool, a fully equipped gym, and a sauna. An elevator provides direct, step-free access down to your private underground parking space and an attached storeroom-perfectly sized for secure storage of bikes and golf equipment.
Location & Lifestyle:
The convenience of this urban location is unmatched. You are positioned right across the road from the Marina de la Torre blue-flag beach (a 1-minute drive). Everyday essentials are covered with a commercial centre within walking distance and shops just a 2-minute drive away. The bustling port town of Garrucha is a scenic 15-minute walk, and the property sits on a main bus route for easy local transit.
Golfers will appreciate living alongside the 18-hole Marina de la Torre course, famous for its unique layout where 9 holes track close to the beach and the remaining 9 wind into the hills, complete with three strategic lakes.
