Hotels on Costa de la Luz

Costa de la Luz

The Costa de la Luz is one of the best destinations you could choose for your holidays. The magnificent beaches and stunning natural landscapes, together with a rich gastronomy and a fascinating cultural and historical heritage, make this coastline an extremely attractive destination, whichever way you look at it. What’s more, its wide range of hotels and tourist establishments guarantee that you will find the accommodation you need to disconnect from your routine and enjoy your holiday.

Without doubt, one of the greatest attractions of this coastline are the beaches. From Cádiz to Huelva, the Costa de la Luz boasts some of the most beautiful beaches in the country. Kilometres of soft, golden sand and crystal-clear waters surrounded by natural landscapes and a year-round mild climate. What more could you ask for?

Playa de Bolonia, Playa de los Alemanes in Zahara de los Atunes, Playa de la Barrosa en Chiclana and Playa del Palmar en Conil de la Frontera, are just some of the most spectacular beaches in the province of Cádiz. In Huelva, some of the most highly recommended beaches for their beauty include Playa de Matalascañas, Playa del Parador in Mazagón and Playa de Cuesta Maneli, where you will find the famous Asperillo Cliffs. Make the most of the coastline by trying a water sport such as kayaking or paddle boarding, or even something a little more daring, like wind surfing or kite surfing. You will find a multitude of schools and companies offering these sports along the whole coastline.

Cádiz is home to the majority of the hotels and accommodations on the Costa de la Luz. Some of the most popular holiday destinations include Tarifa, Zahara de los Atunes, Conil de la Frontera, Rota, Chipiona, Novo Sancti Petri, Caños de la Meca and Chiclana de la Frontera. These are all coastal towns with enormous charm and intricate historical centres with the typical narrow white-washed streets of Andalusia.

On the other hand, Huelva also offers a whole range of possibilities: Isla Cristina, Isla Canela, Islantilla, El Rompido, El Portil, Punta Umbría, Mazagón and Matalascañas. Surrounded by natural green areas that contrast with the sea, these towns offer a peaceful atmosphere where you can completely disconnect, without lacking any of the services, restaurants, shops and leisure activities you need for a complete holiday.

Another great attraction of the Costa de la Luz is its nature, starting with Doñana National Park. This park is of enormous importance because of its great biodiversity and the fact that it is one of the resting and breeding places for migratory birds in Europe. The province of Huelva is also full of hiking trails and bicycle paths where you can enjoy a spot of cycle tourism through forests of pine trees overlooking the sea. It is, without doubt, a truly privileged setting for practising sport. The Estrecho and Alcornocales natural parks in Cádiz also offer hiking trails with fabulous scenery near to the coast.

In terms of culture, both Huelva and Cádiz are destinations with an infinite number of possibilities. Starting with the Andalusian capital, known as the “Little Silver Cup”, Cádiz is unmistakable because of its unique architecture and the fact that it is surrounded on all four sides by the sea. The picturesque cathedral, with its eclectic combination of styles, is one of Cádiz’s greatest symbols. Torre Tavira, Monumento a las Cortes de Cádiz, Santa Catalina Castle, Gran Teatro Falla, are just some of the attractions worth visiting here.

In Huelva, you can witness its connections to the discovery of America. The statue of Christopher Columbus, the Monumento a la Fe Descubridora and the Muelle del Tinto are just some of the city’s most prominent places. Equally, in Palos de la Frontera, you must visit the Muelle de las Carabelas Museum and La Rabida Monastery.

Then, in front of the blue waters of Playa de Bolonia, you will find the Roman Ruins of Baelo Claudio, a highly recommended stop for discovering the region’s Roman past. In addition, its location right on the beachfront provides the perfect backdrop for photos. Finally, the whole of the Costa de la Luz is peppered with fortifications such as San Marcos de El Puerto Castle, San Sebastián Castle, Santa Catalina Castle, Vejer de la Frontera Castle and Guzmán el Bueno Castle.

If you have time to venture inland, take the opportunity to follow the Jerez Wine Route, which passes through three towns: Jerez de la Frontera, El Puerto de Santa María and Sanlúcar de Barrameda. In the latter, you can also visit Medina Sidonia Palace, the Covachas and the Orleans-Borbón Palace. Another town in the region with huge historic interest is Arcos de La Frontera, which is also considered one of the prettiest towns in Spain.
