This exceptional 4-bedroom duplex residence offers something increasingly scarce: a well-designed coastal home in an unspoiled location (beachfront), structured to make second-home ownership financially sensible without compromising quality or character. Atlanterra (Zahara de los Atunes) won’t stay quiet forever—but for now, it remains one of Andalusia’s better-kept secrets. This is an extremely scarce real estate area with exceptional properties like this one snatched in days. You buy a share today at the price and just watch it grow. You could even buy a share today, use it with your family for 10-20 years and resell the share at a huge profit.
Ground Floor – Private Quarters
Enter via the planta baja (lower access level) into a naturally divided space designed for privacy and rest. This floor houses the sleeping quarters: four well-proportioned bedrooms arranged along a central corridor, including a primary suite with en-suite bathroom. A second full bathroom serves the remaining three bedrooms.
The ground floor opens to a private terrace—an outdoor extension of the living space where morning coffee transitions into afternoon reading without ever leaving the property. White lime finishes, sandstone accents and light timber create a serene backdrop that echoes traditional Andalusian architecture, reinterpreted with a contemporary lightness.
First Floor – Living Spaces & Rooftop Terrace
Ascend the internal staircase to the planta primera (upper level), where the atmosphere shifts from private to social. Here, approximately 100 m² unfolds as a continuous open-plan space: kitchen, dining and living zones flow together without rigid separation, all oriented toward the Atlantic.
The modern kitchen—fully equipped, designed for proper cooking rather than token gesture—anchors one end. A generous dining table occupies the centre, sized for long meals with family or guests. The living area extends toward floor-to-ceiling glazing that frames sea views and opens to the property’s defining feature: a substantial rooftop terrace designed for outdoor living rather than occasional use.
This isn’t a token balcony. It’s a proper outdoor room—furnished with dining and lounging areas, bathed in natural light, oriented to capture both sunrise over the Mediterranean and sunset across the Atlantic horizon. The terrace becomes the home’s social heart during warmer months, a space for extended breakfasts, afternoon siestas and evening gatherings under Andalusian skies.
Design & Finishes
The interior palette draws directly from the surrounding landscape: soft coastal blues, warm sand tones, muted terracotta. Natural textiles complement light woods and sandstone surfaces. Air conditioning ensures comfort during summer months, though cross-ventilation and the rooftop’s elevation provide natural cooling much of the year.
The design achieves something increasingly difficult: contemporary comfort without sacrificing local character. This feels like a home in Atlanterra, not a generic coastal apartment that could exist anywhere.

Atlanterra & Zahara de los Atunes
Atlanterra sits within the broader coastal district of Zahara de los Atunes, a former tuna-fishing village that has evolved into one of Andalusia’s most appealing bohemian coastal destinations. Unlike the overdeveloped stretches of the Costa del Sol, Zahara has retained its village character whilst attracting a discerning international crowd drawn to its authenticity, natural beauty and relaxed atmosphere.
The town centre, a 5-minute drive from Atlanterra, offers an excellent selection of restaurants, beach bars and shops that reflect Zahara’s evolved identity: traditional chiringuitos serving grilled tuna alongside contemporary dining establishments, boutique surf shops next to family-run fishmongers, and yoga studios occupying renovated fishermen’s cottages. The vibe is sophisticated but unpretentious—linen rather than lycra, natural wine rather than nightclubs.
This stretch of coastline represents the Costa de la Luz at its finest. Atlanterra’s immediate beaches—Cabo de Plata and Los Alemanes—are backed by protected pine forests and dunes, accessed via sandy paths rather than concrete promenades. The water is notably clear, the beaches wide and uncrowded even in peak season.
