ZEN BEACH- 200m beach- WiFi by Fiber Optic- A/C-Pool- Community Garden

Charming & fully equipped cosy apartment with amazing sea views from sunny glazed terrace, free WiFi, big swimming pool(open during summer) & garden, surrounded by pine and palm trees, close to the beach, crossing the footbridge, and the famous coastal path, and all necessary services nearby!

Enjoy an unforgettable holiday at Costa del Sol staying in a cozy apartment with sea views, pool, private gardens, lovely and fully equipped.
Located in a nice setting, 200 meters from the beach (just crossing the footbridge) and the famous coastal wooden trail, surrounded by pine trees, and all services at few meters (restaurants, supermarkets, bus and taxi stops, pharmacy, post office..).
The flat is located on the third floor of a 10-story building with 2 elevators.

The apartment has been lovingly decorated using noble materials and colors to giving our guests a feeling of peace and harmony.


The kitchen is equipped with all appliances: microwave, refrigerator, toaster, sandwich maker, kettle... Also we provide all the utensils you may need during your stay: dishes, cutlery, glasses, wine glasses, coffee cups, tea pot, pots and pans, stainless steel and so on.
Bathroom with shower tropical rain. It also has a washing machine and a cabinet in which you will find towels, hair dryer, iron.

In the lounge there is a HD TV 32 inch brand new, where to watch your favorite shows (with a lot of international channels from all over the world: UK, France, Belgium, Germany, Nederland, Sweden and many more...)
Free WiFi internet connection without limits (access to internet in any device: tablet, smartphone, you want and download e). The living room has a sofa bed easily convertible into a king size bed.

The bedroom is notable for its lightness and magnificent sea front views. You will find a "queen size" bed with a comfortable mattress, a spacious closet and dresser useful where you can store your belongings. During your stay we provide all necessary bedding (sheets, duvets, pillows ..).
With advance notice it is possible put a travel cot(with aditional costs).

The sunny terrace is undoubtedly our favorite place of the aparment. Breakfast bread with olive oil, drinking a glass of wine or chatting with the Mediterranean Sea background is a unique experience that we recommend to all our guests. The colorful sunsets are a real spectacle of sensations. On clear days you can see on the horizon the mountains of the nearby African continent and will remind located at the southernmost tip of Europe: the Costa del Sol.

The complex has a large swimming pool which open in summer and also has large green areas completely private to relaxing or play with your kids.

Compact apartment for 2 persons

Apartment is fine and ok for 2 persons but would not want to stay there with 4 persons. Clean and well kept. Hosts were very good with local information and apartment had few nice homely touches. Pool was closed when we arrived that was not stipulated on VRBO so had 30 minute walk to beach with beds and shade wihich cost us 14/18 euros each time. Disappointed as we had planned a weeks chilling by the pool. Living area facing TV is a single mattress/bed and extremely uncomfortable to sit on to watch a movie etc before you go out for the evening. Apartment faces a busy motorway so background traffic noise an issue, especially if you try and sit on balcony as traffic thunders past 50m away. Few bars/ restaraunts nearby on either side of motorway which can be crossed via a bridge. English, Irish and Scottish bars and Italian,Indian, English and Argentinian places to eat but nothing "Spanish" about the area. The village was wonderful place to visit, takes about an hour on 2 buses, and 20 min bus ride to Marbella is excellent.

Amazing stay

This apartment is great. 3 of us stayed here and it was enough room. Great location only a short drive from Marbella and a 2 minute walk to the beach. Great cafes and restaurants just down the road. The property was very clean and the host was lovely and helpful. They sent us a guide to the local area which was very helpful and he made the check in process really simple and stress-free. Would definitely stay again!

Amazing stay

I stayed for 7 days on my own ...I came for medical respite. The apartment met all my expectations; I felt very safe and comfortable and best of all, safe to drink the water. .the location was absolutely amazing, with sea views and within five minutes or so you were on the boardwalk that led to many wonderful beachside restaurants. Food wise my 2 favours were The Jammy Olive - a 10-minute walk away and El Capriccio - 5 min. away. Whilst I didn't cook in the apartment, there was a fabulous supermarket carrefour at 700 meters, along with a pharmacy.. plus many other eateries. The host Nolan kept in contact via text to make sure I was OK, and I felt reassured that had there been any problems (which there weren't), he would have helped straight away. Thank you for a fabulous stay! I feel a million dollars compared to how I arrived!

SLIDING DOOR TO BATHROOM NOT ATTATCHED AT THE BOTTOM. WINDOWS VERY DIRTY. SUPPOSED TO HAVE BEEN RECENTLY REFURBISHED, IF SO IT WAS DONE CHEAPLY AND POORLY. CERTAINLY NOT SUITABLE FOR LONG STAYS. WE HAD BOOKED FOR 28 DAYS, AND LEFT ATER 2. WE WERE TOLD WE COULD NOT HAVE A REFUND, TOLD BY THE OWNERS THAT THIS WAS NOT A HOTEL VERY DISAPPOINTED.

Great stay at zen ’s place.

We enjoyed our stay at Olga’s place in La Calahonda - it was very central for us, there were lots of good restaurants and bars nearby. Olga 's was brilliant with communication, the apartment is beautifuly furnished with lovely modern appliances. The apartment is perfectly located in La Calahonda with easy access to the motorway if needed. A 5 minute walk to the beach and the prominade where there are tons of restaurants and there is parking and supermarket just across the road. We would definitely recommend it.

Nice place in fantastic location

Olga and her husband were extremely helpful throughout the stay. Upon arrival they left us snacks and drinks, they were always on hand to help us with any questions we had. The location of the apartment is perfect, you are a 2 min. walk from the nearest shops and restaurants, and a 5 min. walk from the beach, which has a promenade walk and lots of restaurants on the beach front. The apartment is lovely, the balcony allows you to look over the sea. The pool is never really busy, we had an opportunity everyday to get in when it was just us and we went at the peak of the summer holidays. Finally when looking to go further afield there are a range of options for transport, I would suggest using a bus to places like Fuengirola and Marbella, which cost us between €1-€3. If you would prefer to go directly to a destination ‘Bolt’ is definitely the best option and when you sign up you get 10 rides half price. It cost us around €12 to get to Fuengirola. There are lots of outlets, designer shops and shops where you can buy replica items. Puerto Banus would definitely be worth a visit too, with even more designer shops and opportunities to see some of the nicest cars and super yachts I have ever seen up close. Thank you again for a wonderful stay!

4/10 Poor

Leslie S.

Pleasant enough but not for Long Stay

We really do not want to give a bad review as the apartment is sufficient for a short holiday stay ie: 1/2 weeks but is not suitable for any longer. The kitchen was very basic with only 2 rings and a microwave for cooking but there are no microwavable dishes to cook anything in. The electric was very haphazard. If we had more than 2 items switched on, the electric would cut out. Nolan had advised us that this could happen and showed us how to rectify it, but the problem was too ongoing. There was a washing machine but we had to be available all the time it was on because every few minutes the electric would fail and that was when the washer was the only item on. We were under the impression that there was satellite TV and we would be able to watch some British TV but this was not the case. The TV was all in Spanish. The only saving grace here was that there was a USB connection which gave us a lot of films to watch. The beach was advertised as only 200 meters away but did not tell you that this was on the other side of a major 4 lane motorway and had to be accessed by either a bridge or underpass. We were supplied with only 4 large bathroom towels for a 4 week stay. I was able to wash these, in the washer, but due to inclement weather had to take them to the local launderette to dry. There was a balcony, also wrongly advertised, because this was a completely enclosed balcony. We could not sit on the balcony and enjoy the view. There was also a lack of comfortable seating for evenings. We had to adapt the sofa bed to make any reasonable, comfortable sitting. According to one of the photos on the Sun Flat website it looked as if we walked out of the apartment straight on to the famous boardwalk. As previously explained, this was not the case. One excellent thought from the owners was the excellent local guide they provided. This was very informative and helpful. The other thing that was advertised were 3 all year round pools. There was only one that we could see in the grounds of the apartment and we were not advised of where there was any more. There was also an iron and a hairdryer advertised. Be aware that these are both only travel Items.

A holiday to remember :D

Olga and Nolan are very open-hearted people. After a warm welcome Nolan showed us the flat to make sure that we know where to find things. Olga came to visit us and we had a great time together. She even brought us some very very lovely presents. Olga and Nolan put a great effort in decorating the flat and make sure that the guests feel like home. There´s everything you could need during your holidays. They compiled a folder with information about the flat and the surroundings (places to visit, their favourite restaurants, beach bars and much more). Furthermore they recommended us some more places of which they thought that we could be interested in visiting them. When we had any questions no matter on which topic they were always right there to help us. From the balcony you have a beautiful ocean-view and the beach is only a 5 minutes walk away. There´s a new wooden path along the beach where you can walk for hours and enjoy the sunset. Olga and Nolan are awesome hosts :D I couldn´t imagine anyone being such lovely as they are. My friends and I really enjoyed our holiday in Mijas and we will sure come back soon to meet Olga and Nolan again.

Superb place and nice hosts

Just returned home from a beautiful 6 day stay at zen places. The hospitality we received was impeccable. Nolan & Olga were so incredibly helpful with not only the accommodation, but also gave us great recommendations for things to do locally and restaurants etc. The area is beautiful, there’s a shop basically downstairs, cafes and restaurants are a couple of minutes walk away, as well as the beach being so close literally a 5 minute walk over the footbridge or via the underpass. Locals are all very welcoming and friendly. Will definitely be booking to stay here again in the future. Thank you so much for a beautiful stay!
