DREAMY

The choice of hotels on the Costa de la Luz is huge

also features sumptuous suites as rooms. Meanwhile, around the corner, Las Palmeras , is the winner if you are looking for a pool to cool off after a day of sightseeing.

Down on the nearby coast, at Canos de Meca, Madreselva is just 50m from the famous beach, as well as most of the local restaurants. It has a sleepy courtyard, a small pool and the best breakfast on the coast.

In Zahara, you have the excellent Hotel

Antonio (www.antoniohoteles.com), sitting on one of

Andalucia’s top beaches and with one of the best restaurants on the coast, which is practically fully booked all summer, unless you have a room.

In the heart of Zahara, you must definitely check out Hotel Pozo del Duque (www.pozodelduque.com), which sits right on the best part of the beach and counts on two pools, one of them to die for on the roof with some of the best views in Cadiz.

Up in Tarifa, few places come better sited than Tarifa’s Hurricane Hotel and its sister Punta Sur.

Set up in the 1980s, the Hurricane (www.hotelhurricane.com) has counted on celebrities and royals among its guests, no surprise given its location in stunning gardens, at the end of celebrated Los Lances beach.

Its sister Punta Sur (www.hotelpuntasur. com) sits in an amazing leafy enclave, protected from the famous Tarifa winds, with well appointed rooms and the best pool on the coast. Oh and a tennis court and great restaurant to boot.
