Vincci Canela Golf

Vincci Canela Golf details

The clue’s in the name with this one. The hotel forms part of the Isla Canela Golf Club, so it’s within walking distance of the clubhouse and the tree-lined fairways and lakes. It’s so close, in fact, its bar opens almost directly out on to the 18th green. What’s more, if you stay here you can look forward to discounted green fees and golf packages.

Golf aside, the hotel has plenty to offer in its own right. Its design is inspired by an 18th-century Portuguese mansion, with the exteriors fusing whitewashed walls, yellow-painted arcades and terracotta-pink towers. Inside, meanwhile, quirky touches come in the form of retro lamp stands, oversized stone candleholders and chic Roman blinds.

Bedrooms are decorated in chocolate and creams, and kitted out with arty wall prints and polished wood floors. Satellite TVs and mosaic-tiled bathrooms with glass double sinks complete the comforts. Plus, you get your own balcony or terrace with views over the golf course.

On the food front, there’s the Alacena Restaurant. All orange lampshades and white linen, it looks out over the fairways and offers up buffet breakfasts and à la carte lunches and dinners. Cuisine-wise, expect international mainstays coupled with signature local dishes.

Elsewhere, you’ve got an outdoor pool. It’s set on a terracotta terrace and comes with sunloungers and canvas parasols around the edge. Elsewhere, you’ll find a gym, an indoor pool and a tennis court. And when you want to head out, the town of Ayamonte and the sandy beaches of Isla Canela are about a five-minute drive away.
