Miraconcha in San Sebastián embodies the calmest and most contemplative expression of luxury living. Nestled on the southern slope of Miramar Palace, this prestigious stretch connecting La Concha Beach to the Antiguo tunnel has, since the late 19th century, been one of the city’s most private and privileged enclaves. With its elevated position, residential-only character, and period architecture, Miraconcha offers a unique balance of privacy, views, and elegance.

Lifestyle in Miraconcha

Living in Miraconcha means dwelling on the threshold between the city and the sea. Life unfolds through quiet strolls along the bay, serene sunrises over the Cantabrian Sea, and peaceful sunsets on private terraces where time slows down. The absence of ground-floor commerce is not a lack but a conscious choice: here, luxury is measured in space, silence, light, and perspective.

The Paseo de Miraconcha, with its iconic white balustrade and graceful curve, is one of the most recognizable and refined coastal promenades in the Atlantic. The connection with the landscape is not incidental—it is essential. Residents don’t merely view the sea—they live it.

Miraconcha’s residential stock is limited and includes historic villas and mid-rise buildings facing the sea. The rarity of available properties and the singularity of the location explain the high demand. Homes stand out for their generous dimensions, high ceilings, expansive glazed terraces, and privileged orientation with full-day sunlight and panoramic bay views.

Apartments, flats, and penthouses in Miraconcha often feature private access, enclosed garages, and top-quality finishes. Some villas have been converted into exclusive residences that preserve original elements—coffered ceilings, marble floors, fine woodwork—combined with cutting-edge technologies. These homes are designed for those who seek a residential experience worthy of the natural beauty that surrounds them.

Atmosphere and Ambience

Miraconcha’s atmosphere is one of total discretion. No noise, no crowds—only the rhythmic tide, the whisper of footsteps, and the clarity of Atlantic light. It’s a neighborhood for those who value elegant retreat, intimacy without isolation, and understated beauty.

Daily life here is introspective. The sea isn’t admired from afar—it’s felt in every open window, every coffee sipped facing the horizon, every unhurried walk. Beauty isn’t displayed—it’s lived.

Points of Interest

Miraconcha’s main attraction is its unparalleled location overlooking the bay. From anywhere on the promenade, one can see Santa Clara Island, Mount Urgull, the perfect curve of the beach, and Mount Igeldo in the distance. This natural backdrop becomes a daily stage for residents—an extension of their home.

To the west lie the gardens of Miramar Palace, once the Spanish royal family’s summer residence, now a public and cultural space. Its terraced lawns offer some of the city’s most spectacular views, accessible at any time.

To the east, the Nobu Hotel adds a touch of international sophistication with its contemporary Japanese restaurant, frequented by global visitors and discerning locals alike. Its presence enhances, without disturbing, the neighborhood’s exclusive character.

La Concha beach, at its quietest stretch, is just steps away. From Miraconcha, discreet stairways lead directly down to the sand, allowing residents to swim at dawn, stroll at low tide, or read peacefully beside the water in a truly serene setting.
