Hotel description

Melia Atlantico ****

4-star | Ayamonte

The Hotel Melia Atlantico is both architecturally majestic and beautifully located at the junction of the Carreras river and the Atlantic Ocean. Visually it resembles a 'Thousand And One Night's' Palace. Intenally it boasts tall-ceilinged splendour and vast public areas. Other attractive aspects to its location are the thin strip of nature reserve that one traverses in order to reach its beach and the picturesque nearby marina. Its all-inclusive food and beverage provision also clearly justify a 4-star superior categorization. Its buffet meals are both imaginative in content and beautifully presented, and both an Italian restaurant and bar food are offered as alternatives. Drinks-wise, their all-inclusive offering incorporates many other options in addition to wines, beers and soft drinks. There are cocktails (such as mojitos, pina coladas and caiparinhas), spirits (a choice of 4 rums, 3 whiskies, 3 gins and vodkas) and a wide variety of after dinner drinks (including Baileys, Drambuie, Gran Marnier, Cointreau, Malibu, Amaretto, Tequila and Tia Maria).

Rooms: 358 beautifully appointed rooms with bath/shower and a private terrace. All rooms also have telephone, air conditioning/heating, a ceiling fan, satellite TV, tea/coffee making facilities, a minibar, a hair dryer and a complimentary safe.

Other Features: Multi-station buffet restaurant with show cooking, à la carte Italian restaurant, large lobby bar, vast entertainments lounge, 2 outdoor pools, a heated indoor pool, sun lounging areas.

Isla Canela & Ayamonte

Isla Canela, renowned for the beauty of its beaches, is a small island that lies between the estuaries of the Guadiana and Carreras rivers. It is connected to the mainland by a short causeway and features small farms, resort hotels, a marina and a golf course. Just off the island, at the river mouth of the Guadiana (which forms the border between Spain and Portugal) sits the historic small town of Ayamonte, home to many early mariners and explorers. The medieval heart of the town is a warren of narrow streets and alleyways and features two picturesque squares in which it is a delight to simply sit on the pavement outside a cafe and drink in the local ambience.

The Costa De La Luz

The section of Spanish coastline known as the Costa de la Luz is the Atlantic stretch that runs all the way from Gibraltar to the Portuguese border, skirting the Spanish provinces of Cadiz and Huelva. As southern Spain's closest coast to the Americas, it was from here that Christopher Columbus elected to sail on his epic voyages of discovery and many spectacular monuments testify to their historical significance. This is also the coast to which the inhabitants of the beautiful Andalusian capital of Seville flock when temperatures in the city soar in the summer, making the most of its vast sandy beaches. Largely undiscovered and unspoilt by large scale mass tourism, it has ony really begun to come into its own as an international tourism destination in the last 20 years.

Excursion Possibilities

Magnificent Seville (included): Enjoy a full day's exploration of one of Spain's most picturesque cities. Straddling the Guadalquivir ('Great River'), Seville contains some of Spain's most beautiful historic architecture, providing the romantic backdrop to Bizet's colourful opera 'Carmen', Rossini's 'Barber of Seville' and several other operas besides. Our day begins with a panoramic tour followed by a visit to the awe-inspiring Plaza de Espana. We then explore the medieval streets and alleyways of the picture-postcard Jewish quarter before enjoying a tour of the magnificent gothic cathedral. After time at leisure for lunch we take a delightful cruise exploring the riverbanks of the city.

The Columbus Legacy (optional): A fascinating trip back in time that visits a 13th-century monastery where Columbus stayed, an imposing monument to his discoveries and full size replica vessels in which he sailed.
