Western Spain / Costa de la Luz

Costa de la Luz stretches from the Portuguese border at Ayamonte via Isla Canela, El Rompido and Punta Umbría to Huelva. Here the coast is flat, the beaches stretch for miles and the golf courses are varied – from the links-style Isla Canela to the woodland courses at El Rompido. The area is less developed than Costa del Sol and prices are generous.

Isla Canela and Islantilla are the main resorts – modern holiday areas right on the beach with promenades, restaurants and golf on your doorstep. Ayamonte on the Guadiana River offers authentic everyday Andalusian life with tapas bars and a Saturday market, and on your rest day Doñana National Park, the Columbus sites around La Rábida or Portuguese Tavira across the border beckon. Fly to Faro – the transfer takes just over half an hour.
