The destination
Atlanterra
Where the Sierra de la Plata meets the ocean.
Atlanterra
A still-secret corner of southern Europe
Between Zahara de los Atunes and the Camarinal lighthouse lies Atlanterra: miles of golden beaches sheltered by the sierra, hidden coves and a sky that catches fire over the Atlantic every evening. Far from the crowds, close to everything essential.
The beaches
Golden sand, turquoise water
Atlanterra and El Carmen rank among the finest beaches in Spain: broad, pristine and washed by surprisingly clear water. At dusk the shore turns to copper while the Camarinal lighthouse keeps watch over the horizon.
The gastronomy
Wild bluefin tuna
Zahara de los Atunes is the world capital of wild bluefin tuna, caught for three thousand years using the ancient almadraba technique. Its restaurants, ten minutes from Zahara Suites, are a pilgrimage for lovers of fine food.
The experiences
Sea, sierra and white villages
Sunset horse rides, surf and kite on the Levante beaches, trails through the Sierra de la Plata, the Roman ruins of Baelo Claudia and the white villages of Vejer and Medina Sidonia. Cosmopolitan Tarifa is twenty minutes away.
Getting here
One hour from Gibraltar and Jerez
Zahara Suites sits in the Atlanterra urbanisation, five minutes from Zahara de los Atunes. Gibraltar and Jerez airports are an hour away by road; Seville and Málaga, two hours.
