Plaza Azul Apartments

Plaza Azul Apartments details

“Close to the beach and just footsteps from shops, bars and restaurants, these apartments put you right in the centre of the action.”

The Plaza Azul Apartments have bagged a great spot. They’re in the centre of Puerto del Carmen, just a five-minute walk from the town’s main strip of shops, bars and restaurants. And they’re perched on the top of a hill, so the widescreen views are superb.

The apartments themselves are set in a cluster of whitewashed, two-storey buildings. Bedrooms are simple and fresh, with all-white walls and deep-blue bed linen. Lounge areas are kitted out with comfy sofas and satellite TVs. And all rooms open out onto a balcony or terrace overlooking a central swimming pool.

Speaking of the pool, it’s a really good size for swimming. It’s framed by a terrace dotted with bright blue loungers and parasols, and there are steps leading up to another terrace on the roof. The views from here stretch for miles, so it’s a really popular place to watch the sun go down.

In terms of eating and drinking, meanwhile, there’s a bar serving light bites by the pool, plus a mini-supermarket for stocking up on snacks.

Lastly, this place is really close to the beach – Playa Grande is a ten-minute walk down the hill. A long ribbon of golden sand, it’s one of the best stretches on the island.
