La Residencia Puerto Hotel & Spa: Tarifa’s Elegant Oasis over the Strait
Nestled between Tarifa’s vibrant old town and its golden shores, La Residencia Puerto Hotel & Spa feels like a tranquil Mediterranean hideaway with African vistas on the horizon. Just steps from Playa Chica and the historic castle, this 4-star boutique retreat blends Moroccan-inspired interiors with relaxed coastal charm, making it perfect for couples, families, and adventure travelers.
Moroccan‑Coastal Charm at Every Turn
Each of the 55 rooms is decorated in soothing neutral tones and Moroccan tile motifs, creating a light-filled, calming environment. Many rooms feature sea views, while others look onto a quiet inner courtyard. All include minibar, flat-screen TV, Wi‑Fi, air conditioning, and modern furnishings.The hotel’s pet-friendly policy and family-friendly design—with games for children and complimentary stays for babies under two—ensure a relaxed group experience.
Rooftop Pool & Spa: Wellness with a View
Ascend to the rooftop for the star attraction: a heated infinity pool overlooking the Strait of Gibraltar and distant Africa. Relax on sun loungers at the pool bar or sip cocktails as the sky changes at sunset.Wellness continues in the spa, where the 90-minute thermal circuit includes a heated pool, cold plunge, Turkish bath (hammam), aromatic showers, Balinese daybeds, sauna, and massage services. Booking in advance is recommended; spa access is permitted from age 12.
Dining & Thoughtful Extras
Start your day with a generous buffet breakfast, including hot dishes and fresh juices. El Patio restaurant offers Mediterranean-inspired cuisine in a peaceful patio setting. Guests enjoy thoughtful extras throughout their stay: welcome drinks, filtered water stations on each floor, self‑serve popcorn, and minibar items included at no extra charge.
Location & Local Experiences
The hotel is a short walk—typically under two minutes—from Playa Chica, the port (including Tangier ferry), and Tarifa’s charming old town. Playa Los Lances and Valdevaqueros, Tarifa’s top kitesurf spots, are reachable by car in 10–15 minutes. Guests can book local activities like kitesurfing, whale watching, hiking, biking, or land sailing.
Why It Stands Out
Panoramic Coastal Design: Moroccan-inspired interiors, framed by sea and port views.
Wellness Elevated: A rooftop infinity pool and a full thermal spa circuit combine relaxation with ocean vistas.
Prime Positioning: Steps from the historic quarter, beaches, and ferry to Morocco—yet serenely tucked away.
Guest-Focused Experience: Missed no detail—welcome rituals, eco-friendly water systems, minibar perks, pet-friendly, flexible breakfast.
Adventure & Relaxation Fusion: Ideal for kitesurfers and spa lovers alike, with easy access to beaches and cultural landmarks.
La Residencia Puerto Hotel & Spa is where refined design, panoramic landscapes, and Andalusian-African energy meet for an unforgettable coastal escape.
