Islantilla Resort:
The Islantilla Beach and Golf Resort is ideal for those looking for culture, relaxation on the beach, or perhaps a golfing break. This resort is dominated by its blue flag, long and sandy pine and dune lined beaches. This newly developed resort on the Costa De La Luz - 'Coast of Light' is the result of a philosophy combining relaxation with activity, known as 'Active Leisure'. This part of the Spanish coastline has been used by the Spanish for many years, but is new to the UK. It is often referred to as 'Spain's best kept secret', but is more widely known as the 'Spanish Algarve'. However, it is much more relaxing than the Algarve, and it is unlikely that you will find any discotechs here, although there are plenty of restaurants and cafe/bars to indulge yourself with during your stay.
Location:
Islantilla is a coastal resort which is nestled between the towns of La Antilla and Isla Cristina, with the charms of Lepe only 4km away.

This stretch of coastline is surrounded by pine trees, natural beaches, nature and conservation areas. Faro is the most convenient airport to use in order to travel to Islantilla and is only a 45 minute drive away. Seville airport is the closest alternative, being about 75 minutes away.
