Mãla Kai Resort: new apartments in Valle Romano, Estepona

Ducted air conditioning that heats as well as cools, set from a thermostat. Hot water comes from an aerothermal system, which takes its heat from the outside air rather than burning gas. The main bathroom has electric underfloor heating.

Units and worktops in compact quartz. The extractor hood, ceramic hob, oven, microwave, fridge, dishwasher and washing machine are all included.

Wall-hung WCs, flat shower trays with fixed glass screens, and Hansgrohe taps. The main bathroom adds a thermostatic rain shower, a bidet shower and a basin unit with two drawers.

Lacquered aluminium frames with a thermal break, which stops heat crossing the frame, and low-emissivity glass that keeps out the heat of the sun. Aluminium blinds, motorised in the living room and the main bedroom. An armoured entrance door, white grooved internal doors and white fitted wardrobes lined in textile board.

Porcelain floors throughout, with a non-slip porcelain on the terraces and the solarium. Bathrooms are tiled in porcelain. Ceilings are plasterboard, and walls are painted in a choice of three light shades.

Each penthouse has a private solarium on the roof with a four-person hot tub, power sockets, lighting and a television point.

Internal walls are brick and plasterboard with mineral wool inside. The outside walls are perforated brick, rendered on the outside and lined with plasterboard within. Drainage pipes are the acoustic type, so running water is quieter.

Television, telephone and data points in every room except the bathrooms, and a recessed LED strip along the bedroom corridor.
