With a host of undeveloped beaches frequented mainly by local families, the Costa de la Luz has been called Spain’s “secret coast” by Spanish newspaper El País.

Hotel details
The Garden Playanatural Hotel & Spa is an adults-only hotel next to the Rio Piedras and Playa San Miguel. All rooms have a balcony or terrace, and there are two outdoor pools, as well as a spa area (charges apply). Included meals are at the buffet restaurant, which specialises in local Andalucian dishes and seafood.

About the area
The Daily Telegraph says that the beach on the spit of land across the river from the hotel, La Flecha del Rompido, is “fabulous” and “unspoilt”, naming it as the best on the Costa de la Luz. There are short ferry crossings departing from close to the hotel — the hotel provides one complimentary return journey each day.

The hotel is around a 5-minute drive or 30-minute stroll from the village of El Rompido, which is dotted with seafood restaurants, and there are a handful of tapas bars close to the waterfront, all serving local specialities such as paella, langoustines and cuttlefish.

This appealing hotel is located on the west coast of Huelva, close to a nature protection park and the small, picturesque fishing village of El Rompido. The estuary of Rio Piedras is 200 metres away and this is the ideal spot for those who love the sea and nature. Public transport is situated just 200 metres from the hotel, and restaurants, bars, shops and nightclubs are to be found between 1 km and 20 km away. Business travellers can take advantage of the well-equipped conference room and Internet terminal. The en suite rooms are furnished with modern amenities to ensure guests are comfortable. There is also an indoor and outdoor in the magnificent pool area with two pools and a Jacuzzi, bar, Balinese beds, deckchairs and parasols for guests to make use of.
