Stunning local nature & wildlife:
Ideal for walking, cycling, painting or just relaxing, the area is set in acres of Pine woodland & boasts stunning local scenery, nature, birds & wildlife (90% protected no-build area prevents over-development) next to the Donana National Park - one of the last great wildernesses of Europe & home to flamingos & the rare Iberian Lynx. The beautiful mountains of Andalucia are also nearby. In addition to Nuevo Portil's peaceful, chilled-out atmosphere, on its doorstep is the wonderfully tranquil village of El Rompido with a newly-built marina and multiple fine fish restaurants. The nearest large town is Huelva, 20kms away, hosting many fine shops, historical sites & familiar Spanish cobbled squares & walkways.
*Unlike many of the other ‘Costas’ that are swamped by foreigners, Costa de la Luz is swamped instead with an abundance of blue flag beaches, golf courses and 90% protected countryside. It is one of the Spaniards’ best kept secrets – they all love to go there on holiday themselves!
Activities & Eating Out:
Nuevo Portil is on a 120km stretch of uninterrupted golden beaches, for which Huelva has been awarded the European Blue Flag for many years due to their variety, quality and beautiful natural surroundings.
In addition to 'sight-seeing' the area also offers some fantastic golf courses, or for the more adventurous, fun activities such as kite-surfing, go-carting, a water-park, horse riding, a wide array of water sports and cultural activites such as local 'ferias'. There are also many new cycle paths developed through the local forests.
...If this all may prove a little too much, it is still an ideal place to just come and relax..!
Highly recommend is the local cuisine & wonderful wines at the excellent seafood restaurants, tapas & beach bars nearby. There are a number of restaurants in the area within walking distance, but even more by car (within a 10 min drive there are about another 20 places situated around the villages of El Portil, El Rompido and along all the beaches).
Night Life, Weather & Group Bookings:
While there are some local bars & watering holes (as in any traditional Spanish coastal village) if you really want to paint the tiles, nearby Huelva is cracking for the night life! It’s far enough away that it doesn't disturb the local tranquility, yet is only a short ride in a cab & it tends to be extremely busy at the weekends especially. The Spaniards keep the clubs open & rocking until 8am including a fantastic one in an old castle…
…or you might prefer to stay ‘close to home’ to watch the premiership in the local (English managed) Sports Bar.
Weather:
With 300 days sunshine a year in the Costa de La Luz, it’s hot practically all year round, rarely dropping below 20C. Enjoy your lunch outside on the patio…
Bookings for Groups
We will gladly help plan trips for groups and even help plan itineries: We can arrange transport to and from the airport and during your stay and organise a variety of activities to suit for you to do while here. Just let us know what tickles you!
Golf:
Where to start…?
The property is located in the midst of a cluster of courses, from Nuevo Portil itself to El Rompido, Bellavista, Islantilla, Isla Canela and Dunas de Donana all within an hours drive maximum giving enough variety for a new course every day!
Nuevo Portil’s own golf course covers an area of 46 hectares, completely surrounded by pine trees. Founded in 2002, the exquisite design by Alfonso Viador maintains its initial flavour with wide fairways and soft pleasant greens. While the course's smart technical design is suitable for international championships, golfers of every level will find the course enjoyable. Likewise the El Rompido golf has just seen its second 18-hole course open June 2008, and it is surrounded by natural marshes and parklands with views to the sea.
Over the holes of the courses you will always enjoy the heat &beautiful scenery of the coastline of Huelva Province: never ending dune beaches, ocean vistas, pines and century-old savins…
There is the option to pay tee fees from the UK that might work out cheaper & we also have a very professional team who can also cater for golfing parties – Ladies’ & Men’s – on & off the course. We will arrange minibus/transportation as desired…
**We are TEE’d up to tailor-make you an individual golfing holiday, if that’s what DRIVES you!
