The little enclave of Gibraltar, right on the tip of Southern Spain where the Mediterranean waters of the Costa del Sol meet the open Atlantic, is in many ways unique. A vibrant microcosm of nationalities melded into one community overlooking the Bay of Algeciras, this strategic subtropical outcrop is certainly a place to watch out for.
When its importance as a naval base and shipyard waned Gibraltar successfully developed a finance sector that has seen it become an important international banking centre that continues to gain stature and grows alongside a booming sector in electronics and online gaming. To keep up with this growth and satisfy a need for high quality homes within its territory Gibraltar has in recent years seen the development of a select number of prime luxury residential projects aimed both at local and international professionals, as well as high net worth individuals who have made Gibraltar their place of fiscal residency and who spend a good part of the year here.
Luxury serviced apartments
Featuring stunning modern architecture and excellent quality finishes on the edge of the trendy new waterfront, Atlantic Suites offers a hitherto unknown level of style, comfort and sophistication that allows top professionals and corporate principals to live and work in Gibraltar without having to compromise on lifestyle.
Modern and sophisticated, the luxurious apartments vary in size and configuration to suit different needs and preferences, yet all share the same unrelenting standards of build, finish and decoration, complete with a full round-the-clock concierge service and the kind of features you would expect to find further along the Costa del Sol. Designer kitchens and bathrooms therefore compliment beautifully finished spacious living areas that share panoramic views with the bedroom suites and private terraces.
These boutique serviced apartments combine the ease of booking for short or long stays and the pampering services of a hotel but the privacy and independence of a home away from home that overlooks the bay of Algeciras the Straights of Gibraltar and the Majestic coast line of Africa. It is the refined café society in this part of Gibraltar that also adds value to the offices integrated into Atlantic Suites, though the ‘business end’ of the complex is conveniently removed from the private domain that makes up the residential area.
The latter comes complete with 6,000m2 of gardens, swimming pools, a health club with gym and spa, as well as underground parking and 24-hr security.
Atlantic Suites is at the heart of a growing upmarket district that is beginning to make this part of Gibraltar look a lot like a Monaco on the edge of the Mediterranean.
