This is one of the villas in Tarifa Spain with pool located on the mountain of La Peña, close to the Hurricane Hotel. If you are looking for something special you just found it. Basically the best position in Tarifa overlooking the private plot of beautifully landscaped gardens of 10.000 sqm, the beach, the Atlantic ocean and Morocco. The views just simply can’t be beaten...
 
Beachhouse Paloma is fabulously located between the dunes of Tarifa and the beach of Bolonia. It is ideal for those looking for not a lot more company then just themselves, the beach, amazing sunsets and breathtaking views to the African coastline (at night you see the twinkling lights of Tangiers in Morocco) and the sound of breaking waves. It has its private pathway to a nearly virgin beach.
 

What once used to be an ancient olive grove is converted into this beautifull country home. Peacefully located in the beautifull Tarifa natural park, villa las Dovelas sits on 35.000 square meters of private land.

The house is on a 10 minutes walking distance from Tarifa or 3 minutes by car, which is rather unique as it is the only villa for rent from which you can easily walk to town.

From 50€ / Night

From 87€ / Night
Dar Cilla is unique of its sort in Tarifa. It is located on the outskirts of the old town within the old 12th century walls at very easy walking distance to the restaurants.
The very stylishly decorated suites are grouped around a central courtyard. Each suite is fully independent, but there is a pleasant air of 'sociability' and you will meet the owner and fellow guests on the roof terrace over a glass of wine...
 
The Hurricane hotel is one of the most popular hotels in Tarifa Spain and is built in a mixture of Morrocan and old Californian style. It has a very 'laid-back' atmosphere. The lush and tropical gardens surrounding the hotel lead directly to miles of unspoilt beaches. There are 2 swimmingpools and a gymnasium and a fantastic beach bar popular for its lunches. It is very difficult to get a room here as the hotel is very popular. Early reservation is recommended.
 

Hotel Punta Sur is a family friendly hotel located outside Tarifa (7 mins. by car) but close to the trendy beaches and beachbars. This all on one level hotel has its rooms spread out in the lush tropical gardens. These gardens are used by the restaurant to serve very fresh and tasty food in a natural and peaceful atmosphere. The swimming pool is an ideal place to relax.
