Casa Bossa · Ipanema Mijas

Fairways, warmth and a terrace that feels like it belongs somewhere further south. There is something unhurried about this one. Tucked inside Ipanema — a community that lives up to its name — this two-bedroom apartment in Mijas looks out over the golf course with the kind of calm that arrives the moment you put your bags down. The space: The open-plan kitchen and living area open naturally onto a terrace with a chill-out corner and an outdoor dining table — framed by green fairways as far as you can see. The kind of view that makes mornings feel longer and evenings feel earned. The principal bedroom has a double bed, a generous wardrobe and an en-suite bathroom with a full bathtub — a detail that matters more than it sounds after a long day in the sun. The second bedroom has two single beds and a bathroom with a large walk-in shower. The details: Both bathrooms are stocked with Conscious Botanist — natural toiletries that set the tone for the kind of stay this is. The community: An outdoor pool, a heated indoor pool, a sauna and a fully equipped gym. Ipanema takes its name seriously — there is a warmth to this place that goes beyond the weather.
