Albatros Apartments by Malibu

We have been to Callao Salvaje on numerous occasions and previously stayed at the same hotel as my husband is a diver and the dive centre is attached to the hotel. However, on our visit last September, through visiting the new Malibu clothes shop, I discovered the amazing apartments belonging to the shop. Hence we immediately booked our holiday for January and have just returned home having spent a super two weeks at the Albatross Apartments. It feels homely and is clean, fresh and modern. The beds are firm and really comfortable and there is plenty of space to put clothes and cases, etc. out of sight. We made good use of the hob and microwave for some easy meals (there are two supermarkets within a minute’s walk) and also enjoyed eating out at some of the local restaurants (again, a very short walk from the accommodation). The balcony has amazing views across to La Gomera and we spent several evenings watching the sun set across the sea right in front of us. Martin was always helpful and ready to recommend restaurants and to give advice on travelling around the island by bus. Roll on our next visit….. Sue Kennard

Over the last couple of years of holidaying in Callao Salvaje, I saw this place being renovated and when I visited and stayed at another apartment complex in the village last November (‘23), I saw the finished Albatross apartments and thought, wow I must stay there next time. I didn’t know at that time how beautiful the apartments would be. I opened the door to the apartment and was completely overwhelmed by it. Absolutely beatifully finished. I had a large glass fronted balcony that overlooked the viewpoint area, where I had to drag myself away from each day at some point to go for a walk and feed myself. A perfect view. I ate breakfast on the balcony every morning in the cool and within a couple of hours the sun came round and I just soaked it in. The sunsets viewed from the balcony were stunning. The Apartment was furnished, with good quality furnishings and everything I needed in the kitchenette which was very well equipped. All the staff here were kind and friendly and very welcoming. Martin met me and greeted me on arrival, showed me to my apartment, explained everything. The apartment was kept immaculate, the cleaner was so friendly and efficient. I am a solo traveller and to feel safe, comfortable and not alone should I need help, is very important. I felt secure, comfortable and not alone the whole time. As promised Martin, I will return. Unfortunately I cannot at the moment return until next November - I think, but I can’t wait to stay at the Albatross Apartments again. I was very sad to leave, I had a perfect and wonderful stay.
