About this property

Stunning apartment with huge private terrace just 70m to the beach and sea views

.
Experience the best of Puerto de la Duquesa from this gorgeous self-catering apartment, where your own truly impressive 68 sq m private sun terrace offers beautiful sea and beach views just 70 metres away and only 50m to the beautiful marina.

The terrace with its sought-after southwest orientation, provides the luxury of all-day sunshine – an idyllic setting for relaxation and enjoying the stunning sea views or just laying out in the sun.

Inside, enjoy a comfortable and contemporary stay. The apartment is furnished to a high
standard with modern fittings and includes full hot and cold air conditioning, elegant marble
floors, an en-suite jacuzzi bath, and complimentary high-speed WiFi.

Entertainment is at your fingertips with a 47-inch Smart TV featuring access to Netflix and Amazon (using your own log in).

The apartment's location is equally
desirable. Situated directly adjacent to the vibrant marina, you're a mere 50 metres from its bustling atmosphere and 70 metres from the inviting sandy beach, yet the apartment maintains a pleasant sense of privacy and elevation. A really convenient mini supermarket open 12 hrs 7 days a week is located at the entrance to the marina

This apartment offers you a real balance of location and tranquility. Situated a short 50-metre stroll from the bustling marina and 70 metres from the sandy beach directly in front of you, it provides immediate access to the area's vibrancy, yet retains a pleasant sense of privacy and elevation. The convenience is further enhanced by a 12/7 mini supermarket located right at the marina entrance.

Enjoy the best of the Costa del Sol from this prime location. Whether you're spending leisurely days on your sun-drenched terrace, staying effortlessly connected with fast WiFi, taking a refreshing dip in the communal swimming pool, strolling along the beach, or exploring the picturesque marina, the choice is yours.

You can also enjoy a pleasant stroll along the seafront in either direction, a 20-minute stroll to the west allows you to reach a nature reserve that extends for kilometers with untouched beaches, inviting chiringuitos dotted along the beach, just perfect for stopping to enjoy freshly caught seafood, a cold drink, or an ice-cold beer. For recreation, golf and fishing opportunities are also within easy reach.

A truly memorable holiday awaits at No 1 Mikonos Playa.

Very impressive apartment with a most helpful owner

Very easy to communicate with the owner who responded very quickly to queries. Detailed instructions on how to get to the apartment and how to meet Tasha who provided us with the keys and an introduction to the many wonderful features of the apartment. Amazing TV with a wide range of programmes to suit all tastes. Underground parking space was most welcome. Excellent position, yards away from Arkwright's Supermarket with a wide range of British products for those who feel more comfortable with home goods. Nearby restaurants and bars catering to all tastes at reasonable prices.Our only problem was with the very low double bed - quite a problem for us old fogies !

Apartment was great had everything we needed. The terrace was amazing, huge. Lovely views, great location. The only reason I gave 4 stars was because the 2nd bathroom walk in shower needs a new head, the water spouted out all over the place.. we will definitely be returning.

Room for improvement.

We stayed in the apartment for 10 nights in August 2023. It's in a great location, with use of a lovely pool and there was never an issue finding sunbeds near the pool. It's a large apartment with a beautiful sun terrace and the interior has nice, modern furniture. Unfortunately there were some issues that adversely affected our stay. The whole apartment needs a deep clean. We had to mop the entire floor on the first day. We also had to wash the pillow protectors. They were stained and smelt of sweat! The windows were ill-fitting, most were not lockable except for the outside shutters that we had to keep shutting each we left the apartment. There was a safe in the wardrobe which would have been nice to use. However, it was broken and we were informed that it had been for many years. There is a lot of noise from outside, especially late at night & early in the morning (traffic, the shutters on the underground car park and people waiting for taxis at the taxi rank opposite.) This might not have been as noticeable if the windows were better fitting. There are two showers. However, the shower cubicle was not usable due to a dirty, blocked shower head so the water was reduced to a trickle. I did try to sort this myself with some lime scale remover. But it didn’t improve. It was advertised with whirlpool bath in the ensuite bathroom but again this had mould & dirt in the jets. The kitchen needs restocking with simple items such as small bowls for cereal and glasses for juice.

Mikonos Playa Duquessa Stay

Property location was excellent with a 1 minute walk to Marina and bars and restaurants. Property itself was comfortable and had everything we needed for our stay with the bonus of the huge terrace furnished with sunbeds and a patio table. The pool area was very pleasant and clean, only thing required around the apartments is a fresh lock of paint otherwise brilliant and would use again.

Best terrace in Duquesa!

We spent a week in Richard’s apartment for our first family holiday with 2 under 2 babies, and it was perfect! House was spotless, tastefully decorated and with a lovely bright living space, it had everything we needed. The terrace is the perfect family space, our babies spent all day playing safely outside, loving every minute. Richard was prompt and very helpful at responding to my many questions before our arrival. Location was the best you could get, 1 minute walk to beachfront and 1 minute to the port. Thanks again, this apartment and holiday will always bring happy memories!

Perfect Easter weekend getaway !

We arrived at Malaga airport at around 11pm. The taxi ride took around 1hr 15mins to get to the apartment. Even though it was incredibly late, Karen still met outside of the apartment and showed us around answering all of our questions. The apartment couldn’t have been in a better location! The shop opposite is open 365 days a year from 9am to 9pm, the beach was 50m away and the bars and restaurants were open from 9am to midnight - everything was right on the doorstep! No taxi or car needed! The terrace was perfect! We watched the sun rise in the morning and set at night. We lucked in with the weather whilst we were there and even had to put the air conditioning on on the Sunday as temperatures hit 29 degrees! The brand new sun loungers were lovely. Would I return again - absolutely! My friends and I even looked at buying a villa in the area as it was such a little hidden gem. Recommendations - it would have been great to have use of the safe. There was one in the apartment but Karen informed us it was broken. Looking to book the apartment again soon. A perfect few days away. Couldn’t have been happier.

Sunny terrace was the best!

Location perfect. Apartment well-maintained and furnished. The owner Richard was very helpful in recommending restaurants - there is a large variety very close by. The outside space is wonderful, catching the sun all day long. If it were still available, we would certainly choose to stay here again on a return visit to the area.

Stunning apartment in the best location

We loved staying in this beautiful apartment. It has all the mod cons and is presented to an exceptional standard. You can tell the owners have gone out of their way to ensure your stay is nothing short of prefect. The location is hard to beat with the sunning sea views and two minute walk to the beach and restaurants. We have had the best holiday and couldn’t recommend this apartment highly enough, thank you!

Fabulous apartment in an ideal location.

We have just returned from a 10 night stay at this lovely apartment. We were very pleasantly surprised at the accommodation which was nicer than the website pictures. It had everything you would need for your stay. The terrace is amazingly huge, relatively private and catches the sun all day. The apartment is only 5 mins from the lovely beach and coastal path and 2 mins from the marina with its many bars and some very nice restaurants. We have tried to book for later in the year but it is such a lovely property it is fully booked for months ahead. We would love to go back sometime and would definitely recommend it. A thoroughly enjoyable stay.

Fantastic Propoerty, great location

Have stayed in Duquesa before, and as you do, looked around at the different partments on offer. No1 Mikanos Playa has a hugh terrace that gets sun all day, after all thet's what you've come to Spain for!! We spent most of our time on the beach or in the marina, both of which are a few minutes (2-3) away, otherwise it was on the terrace. Don't be off put by it's location close to the marina and adjaent to a car park, you hardly notice! The appartment, not that we spent much time inside, is great. Clean, tidy and well furnished, with comfortable beds and efficient air conditioning, basically all that you need. Tried to book again this year but unfortunately already taken. Richard the owner - easy communication and arranged somebody to meet us on arrival and show us around. Great apartment - book with confidence.

Fantastic Apartment

Have stayed in Duquesa before so knew area and apartment location. It's adjacent to the car park at the entrance to the harbour area, so right in the thick of it, a perfect location. Apartment was clean and well furnished with everything we needed. But Spain is about the outdoors - this apartment simply has the largest and sunniest private terrace I've ever stayed in. Went to the shared pool a few times - sunny, clean and plenty of sunbeds. Really friendly group around the pool, alot who rent long term / own. Fantastic apartment, great terrace, perfect location - can't recommend highly enough!!!

About the host

Hosted by Richard

Host profile image
Hi, my name is Richard, I live in Hertfordshire, UK and bought the apartment off plan in 2002, it was completed in 2004 and I started renting the apartment out that year. Since then I have come out to Duquesa at least 3 times a year with my family and/or friends for relaxation and fun. I endeavour to give all of our guests a 'home from home' feeling during their stay, whilst offering the apartment at very competitive prices. I look forward one day to being able to stay in No.1 Mikonos Playa for an extended period one day, however work commitments mean that we've been unable to achieve that as yet, so until that time please enjoy the apartment, its terrace and the surrounding area as much as we do throughout the year. Kind regards, Richard.

Why they chose this property

I bought No.1 Mikonos because of its location, orientation and terrace, spending 3 times more than I had intended so that I could have the all day sun on its huge terrace and watch the sunrise out of the sea whilst having just a 50m stroll to the marina. Its all been worthwhile, the apartment is everything I it to be and more, the guests love it as much as I do, coming back year after year.

What makes this property unique

The large terrace is what everyone raves about, its private, its got all day sun and views, that's not to say the interior isn't lovely too, other apartments also have good and well maintained interiors, but none have the huge south west facing private terrace, its for all of these reasons that No 1 Mikonos is the most popular rental apartment in Duquesa.
