Set in the activity-packed Playa Blanca, you’re in the heart of the action at Villa Nerea. With a string of white sand beaches with calm, shallow waters, lay your towel down on the sands or do some hair-raising water sports. When hunger strikes, there are rows of restaurants and bars hugging the lively Rubicon Marina, with a spring of shops and authentic markets in the Old Town. The open-plan layout flows elegantly, framed by wide glass doors that slide away to create a seamless barrier between the inside and outside. Picture yourself spending balmy evenings on the terrace, eating dinner on the dining table, or clinking glasses at the alfresco bar. Surrounded by the soaring mountains of the island and blanketed with volcanic black gravel, it’s the closest thing to paradise out here. The large swimming pool is made for undisturbed morning swims, shimmering under the endless Canary sunshine.
