ABOUT THE PROPERTY:
Parque Dona Sofia is located at the Sohail Castle end of the Fuengirola Paseo Maritimo, opposite the Hotel Piramides and about 5 minutes walk from Fuengirola town centre.
It has close access to the N-340 and is about 25 minutes drive from the airport and 15 minutes from Marbella.
The Dona Sofia apartments are superbly situated in an exclusive area of Fuengirola with stunning beach, sea, mountain and park views from this luxury beachfront complex. Favoured by a discerning and international clientele, Dona Sofia is popular with those in the know for it’s surprising proximity to Fuengirola Town’s shops, amenities, restaurants and buzzing nightlife, whilst enjoying immediate surroundings which are quiet and peaceful and a beach which is never crowded – even in high season!
Whether you want to simply relax and unwind on the beach, or you want an action-packed adventure holiday with lots to do and see, then Dona Sofia affords the perfect base for both.
Dona Sofia comprises of 8 distinctive cream and sand coloured, frontline blocks with gold railings on the spacious terraces. Surrounded throughout by sub-tropical, landscaped gardens featuring palm trees and fountains, this complex is impeccably maintained and serviced. Each block has 2 marble entrances and lobbies with security features, such as intercom and videophone access, 4 lifts and a friendly and helpful porter, as well as a night watchman.
All blocks and grounds are fully wheelchair accessible and all apartments are on one level.
The complex is 7 floors high and comprises of 1, 2 and 3 bedroom immaculate, luxury apartments that are decorated and furnished to the highest of standards by their owners.
All include hot and cold air conditioning, spacious, sunny terraces, marble floors throughout, fully fitted kitchens, satellite T.V. personal safes and many more features. All apartments include at least 2 bathrooms with 1 en-suite and the lounge and bedrooms have patio doors that lead out to the terrace.
To ensure your arrival is as comfortable as possible a Welcome Pack, covering all your basic requirements, is provided in all apartments.
The Dona Sofia complex really does enjoy the best of both worlds. Immediately in front is a broad, paved promenade leading to a wide, clean, sandy beach with beds, umbrellas, shower facilities and the usual range of water sports. Dotted along the promenade are chiringuitos (Spanish fish restaurants) where you can enjoy a spot of lunch or just a cool drink in the shade while you watch the world go by. Restaurants, bars and cafes are plentiful in the surrounding streets and walkways and cater to a cosmopolitan clientele, serving anything from a good old English fry up to far more exotic fare.
Just around the corner is a large Crazy Golf course and there are plenty of small shops, supermarkets and newsagents in the area supplying anything from sun tan lotion to the Sun newspaper! Slightly further back from the complex is a large supermarket selling a good range of international and local products at very reasonable prices and, just a bit further afield, visitors to Dona Sofia can now enjoy the brand new shopping, restaurant and cinema complex (showing the latest films in English) Parque Miramar.
In the evenings the Paseo (the longest in Andalucia!) is clean, safe, well lit and pleasantly dotted with benches, statues and greenery. Enjoy a stroll in the sea breeze to work up an appetite for dinner or head towards Fuengirola centre and watch the bustle of tourists and locals in their finery as they head off for an night on the town. In the summer months the Paseo also plays host to an eclectic mix of buskers, performers and street vendors so there’s always plenty to see and buy.
Heading towards Fuengirola centre you will notice (the further away from Dona Sofia you get) that bars, restaurants and nightclubs begin to proliferate. Finally you will reach the area known locally as Fish Alley, opposite the port that features streets and streets of bars and restaurants, one after the other, all catering to just about every nationality and budget.
Surrounding Fish Alley are clothes shops, jewellers, shoe shops, gift shops and a host of other establishments selling a bewildering array of goods.For more up-market shopping, head for the Plaza De La Constitution. As well as being recently refurbished into a beautiful Church Plaza with shaded seating areas and stunning water-feature, bordered by some delightful cafes, this Plaza is also home to a host of designer boutiques and expensive shoe and jewellery shops.If you prefer a bargain try one of the local markets. The biggest (and arguably the best) is on the Feria ground between Fuengirola and Los Boliches. This takes place on a Tuesday, with an antiques market on the same site on a Saturday. On Sunday there is a smaller market in the Port and most days of the week feature a market some place along the Costa.
Active, sporty types will find plenty to occupy their time – both in the immediate area and beyond. Water sports proliferate along the beaches and Fuengirola Port is home to more unusual aquatic pastimes such as parasailing, boat trips, scuba diving and yachting.
Golf courses litter the Costa. Your nearest is Mijas Golf – about 5 minutes drive away – but there is so much choice you could try a different one every day! There’s a Go-Carting track (not just for the kids), horse-riding, an Aqua Park, and a range of gyms - all fairly local. If you need to travel further afield there are car and bike hire places just down from Dona Sofia or, for more choice, in Fuengirola town centre, itself.
Children’s needs are well catered for. They are positively welcomed in restaurants, child size menus are usually available and in the summer months there are many activities and specialized play areas for your little darlings on the beach. The Aqua Park is a must, there is also Fuengirola Zoo, a big play area near Fuengirola port with a Bowling Alley just round the corner and it’s worth taking a trip to Tivoli World in Benalmadena for a fun day out - and try the cable car that goes up the mountain near there.
