Guide to Islantilla

'With its gorgeous beach and fine golf course, stylish and tranquil Islantilla is the perfect place to unwind on the soft sands and lush greens.'

Let's tempt you with an idea of life in Islantilla. You wake to solid gold silence matched by solid gold sunshine. After a life-giving 'cafe con leche' by the pool, you have to stop yourself running headlong to the beach. Once there, you spend the entire day – not counting the extremely long lunch of tasty tapas and freezing cold beer – lying on the sun-warmed sands, exploring the dunes and occasionally cooling off in the twinkling waves. And when you eventually get back home, you're ready for a long, blissed-out dinner at your hotel. Add a glittering sunset, a few drinks along the stylish waterfront and when you finally hit the pillow, you dream of doing the same all over again, tomorrow. Sounds good? You bet it is. This elegant modern resort in the western Costa De La Luz is primed for one of those take-things-slow holidays that we all need from time to time. Don't get us wrong though. There some diversions worthy of giving up the sands for a day. Top is the splendid 27-hole golf course just outside town. Sculpted into the rolling landscape, its manicured fairways are pure joy. Second, there's the lure of authentic Andalucia right on your doorstep. Whether it's enjoying the classic fish restaurants of quaint La Antilla or pottering around the cobbled streets and market of traditional Ayamonte, the temptation might be irresistible. Or how about visiting nearby Seville for a fix of flamenco or shopping? Or maybe it'll take another country to beckon you away – like the chance to savour the colour and charms of the Portuguese Algarve, just a boat cruise away. Decisions, decisions.
