Full of intriguing nooks and crannies, this comfortable small hotel in an old town house rambles up and ...
The Facundo is gradually getting a makeover...
A quick internet search will reveal that La Favorita is a lot of people’s favourite.
The stylish Arte Vida, located just over 5km from Tarifa’s town centre, combines attractive, medium-sized rooms with an excellent restaurant that serves up stunning views. Its grassy garden opens right on to the beach.
This Italian-run place, geared to backpackers, offers dorm accommodation, doubles and quads, along with kitchen use, TV, and laundry facilities. It's 2km out of town towards Cádiz.
Six year-round Camping Grounds, with room for more than 4000 campers, and several, mostly expensive, hotels are dotted along the beach and on and near the N340 within 10km northwest of Tarifa.
This has the same owners as the Hotel Dos Mares but it's a few kilometres further out of Tarifa. The designer rooms have sea views and are on two levels of a plain '70s-style brown-painted block.
Built into the old city walls a few doors west of the Puerta de Jerez, this hostal has no-nonsense rooms, some with TV and some with views of the castle. There's a terrace and the genial owner speaks French.
Tarifa’s most elegant boutique accommodation is in a beautifully renovated 17th-century townhouse.
With a logo of a surfer riding a wave, the Punta Sur, near the pharmacy on the N340, is another Hurricane Hotel project: here the team has waved its magic wand and worked miracles on what was an ordinary roadside hotel.
This place has seen a few incarnations. The current comfortable hotel is mod, almost futuristic, in its design, colours and funky details.
On the beach about 4.5km from Tarifa, Islamic-themed Dos Mares offers rooms and bungalows outside. The bar, with views to Africa, is a popular hang-out, and there’s a good beachside chiringuito (small, open-air bar) too.
This attractive old farmhouse, 20m from the beach at Valdevaqueros, is owned by the Hurricane Hotel folk.
The Oasis is in substantial grounds about 8km out of Tarifa, and its 11 clean bungalows, set around the large lawn, have equipped kitchens. They're better than the rooms in the main block.
This good-value place is on the edge of the old town in front of the port. Rooms are cosy, with winter heating and satellite TV; beds could be more comfy.
Right in the centre in a carefully restored 18th-century convent building, Vagamundos has 11 exotic rooms with African-Asian-Islamic decor and a wi-fi-equipped cafe.
This revamped 19th-century house close to the Puerta de Jerez is one of the best hostales along the Costa de la Luz. The owners are hospitable and the rooms sparkle with bright and attractive colours and plenty of space.
This classy Moroccan-style hotel, 6km from Tarifa, is the place to go if you’re feeling flush. Beautifully set in semi-tropical gardens, it has large rooms, two pools, two restaurants, on-site riding stables and a kitesurf and windsurf school.
White and bright are the themes in Tarifa's spanking new offering built around the ruined walls of an ancient convent.
