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...
 
Another one of the villas in tarifa that is situated on the most popular spot of Tarifa, the mountain la Peña. Right across Valdevaqueros Beach overlooking the famous dunes of Punta Paloma. Sitting on the covered terrace you have a spectacular view on the surf spot at Valdevaqueros. You can see the ocean and the African coast.
 

It sounds so boring to say: if you were looking for that perfect Beach house in Tarifa, you just found it, but in this case we are having difficulties phrasing it differently! Due to Tarifa’s strict building permissions for natural reserve grounds, there are basically no villas in tarifa built on the first line of the beach. Basically none, yes some, and the one for rent you just found!

Hotel Hurricane Tarifa Spain
 
Dar Cilla
 
Hurricane
 
Punta Sur
From 50€ / Night
 
From 65€ / 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.

Shortage Rental Cars !!
Book your rental car well in advance!!
Rent a car Tarifa and airport transfer service

The car rental industry in Spain is having severe problems this year, because they have to work with about 40% less fleet than normally, whilst the booking demand is as high as always. The reason is that Banks still refuse to give credits / loans and therefore, in spite of their promises, the automobile manufacturers finally, will not deliver sufficient quantity of cars in time to the rental companies.

To be sure you will get a rental car for the high season, we advise you to book now.
