Welcome to the stunning beaches of the Costa de la Luz, and in particular the spectacular golden sand beach of Playa La Barrosa.

The Costa de la Luz or “Coast of Light” is so-called because of its translucent skies and dazzling golden sand. Located on the Atlantic in the south-west of Andalucia, the Costa de la Luz stretches from the southernmost tip of Spain at Tarifa, as far as the Portuguese border.

Playa La Barrosa extends for some 8km, lapped by the Atlantic Ocean, and is considered to be one of the best beaches in Andalucia, if not the whole of Spain. It has been awarded Blue Flag status every year since the award was created. This part of the coastline has also avoided the high-rise development seen in many other areas of Spain.

This superb beach stretches from the little island of Sancti Petri as far as the tower of El Puerco. The beach at Sancti Petri is a particular favourite for watersports enthusiasts, particularly windsurfers. The main beachfront promenade of La Barrosa has an excellent selection of restaurants, bars and tourist facilities. Further along the beach, in front of the luxury hotels and residential developments of Novo Sancti Petri, La Barrosa beach is backed by beautiful dunes, cliffs and pine forests.

We would like to welcome you to this very beautiful part of Spain, where you can discover for yourself the many exciting aspects of the Costa de la Luz.

Probably one of the best ways to fully appreciate and explore this beautiful part of Andalucia is to base yourself in this superb self-catering accommodation in Playa La Barrosa. With its mild climate, and over 3200 hours of brilliant sunshine every year, the Costa de la Luz is an ideal destination throughout the whole year.
