The hotel is located in the Bahía de la Plata, right on the beach, 4 kms from the small fishing village of Zahara de los Atunes, and at the foot of Atlanterra, a luxury residential estate. It is located in privileged surroundings and is popular both in Spain and abroad, ideal for travellers who seek tranquillity to enjoy their free time. Zahara is a small fishing village which still has a laid-back and unspoilt atmosphere. It is located between the towns of Tarifa and Barbate, an hour from Cadiz and Algeciras.

 

Many of the tourists visiting Zahara are unaware of the rich history that lays in the sands. They may be interested to know that it was the Phoenicians that first set eyes on the beaches, attracted by the rich fishing grounds, and in particular by the tuna.

 

But there are also Roman and Arab influences which can still be seen today not only in the architecture but also in the cuisine. Various defensive buildings remain, including the still visible Castillo de Zahara, built in the 16th century not just for defence but also as royal and noble living quarters when they came to witness the almadraba, the ancient tuna hunting ritual. This is also a family destination. The beaches are safe and there are endless leisure options as well as cultural and sporting activities.

 

The hotel is 20 minutes from the Dehesa Montenmedio Golf Club, 90 kms from Gibraltar airport, 100 kms from Jerez airport and 195 from the airports in Seville and Malaga.
