Visit Costa de la Luz and discover the province of
Huelva to unveil all of its great unknowns.
Costa de la Luz extends through the provinces of Huelva and
Cadiz, from the mouth of the
Guadiana River which separates
Portugal and Spain to
Tarifa, an enchanting historical town facing the
Straits of Gibraltar.
One of Huelva's attractions is that it offers sandy beaches in an area made up of dunes, pine forests and coastal protected reserves. There are various options to enjoy the inland villages and beaches; the area even has a 25 km stretch of beach that is accessible only by foot. The beaches of the Costa de la Luz are within walking distance of our accommodation and are among the best in
Europe. If you are looking for lively resorts, untouched landscapes of great natural beauty and peaceful accommodation look no further than the province of Huelva.
Or, if you prefer a more rural setting, you may opt for one of our charming country houses on the 'La Chatarré' country estate in
Calañas, Huelva,
Andalusia where you will enjoy the tranquillity and an unforgettable stay.
