Orientation is one of the most overlooked factors in property buying — and one of the most important. On the Costa del Sol, a south-facing apartment receives sunlight from morning until evening, year-round. A north-facing apartment can feel cold and dark in winter, even when it is 18°C outside. The difference in light, warmth, and energy bills is dramatic.
At Nylva Homes, every apartment faces southwest. This is not a marketing claim about “some units” or “selected floors.” Every single unit in all three buildings is oriented to capture maximum sunlight throughout the day. In the morning, the sun warms the terrace from the east. By midday, it is directly overhead. In the afternoon and evening, it sets over the sea in front of you. This is the orientation that experienced buyers on the Costa del Sol look for — and at Nylva Homes, you do not have to choose between the best floor plan and the best orientation. They are the same thing.
Why Southwest Is the Optimal Orientation
More sun hours: Southwest orientation captures afternoon and evening sun — the hours when you are most likely to be on the terrace. North-facing apartments lose direct sunlight by mid-afternoon.
Better views: At Nylva Homes, southwest means facing the Mediterranean, Gibraltar, and Africa. The sunset is directly in front of you.
Lower energy bills: South-facing apartments need less heating in winter. Combined with energy cert A and aerothermal systems, the annual energy cost at Nylva Homes is a fraction of what an older north-facing apartment consumes.
Higher resale and rental value: South-facing properties consistently sell faster and at higher prices than equivalent north-facing units. On rental platforms, “sunny terrace” photographs drive bookings.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are all apartments at Nylva Homes south-facing?
Yes. Every apartment at Nylva Homes faces southwest, providing maximum sunlight year-round and direct views of the Mediterranean Sea, Gibraltar, and Africa.
Why does orientation matter when buying property?
Orientation determines how much natural light your apartment receives. South and southwest-facing properties get sun throughout the day, which means warmer rooms in winter, lower energy bills, brighter interiors, and more usable terrace time. It also increases property value.
