The town boasts golden beaches, cultural tourism, a pleasant climate and is home to Spain’s ‘best all-inclusive hotel’ which has won awards in recent years
Nestled near the Portuguese border, a stunning coastal gem boasts Spain’s “best all-inclusive hotel”, bagging the title five times in recent years, and is famed for its golden sands and cultural offerings for tourists.
Huelva province, perched on the scenic Costa de la Luz, is sandwiched between the Odiel and Tinto river estuaries along the Atlantic coastline of the Gulf of Cádiz. It’s a mere 31.6 miles away from Portugal.
Venture about 18 miles from the town, and you’ll stumble upon Doñana National Park and the historic hamlet of El Rocío, providing a wealth of cultural and ecological tourism experiences.
Costa de la Luz’s golden beaches and inviting climate – peaking at around 32C during July and August – round out the attractions, making it an ideal spot for a memorable getaway, reports the Express.
The city earned its Ciudad status by royal decree back in 1876 and is also the proud home of Recreativo de Huelva, Spain’s oldest football club.
For those flying in, Faro Airport and Seville Airport are the nearest air links. The local port dispatches weekly ferries to Arrecife and Las Palmas de Gran Canaria.
Hotel Barceló Isla Canela, the acclaimed beachfront retreat, sits perfectly poised for those chasing both excitement and tranquillity.
Boasting impressive amenities including multiple pools and adjacent golf courses, the hotel is crafted in the charming style of a traditional Andalusian village.
Starting at a mere 80 euros – just over £67 – per night depending on the time of year, the Barceló Isla Canela is a steal for those seeking a five-star experience without breaking the bank. With a selection of 349 rooms ranging from snug doubles to expansive family suites with large balconies, there’s something for everyone.
This accolade is part of a series of recognitions for the Hotel Barceló Isla Canela. It has been crowned by the World Travel Awards as Spain’s best all-inclusive resort in 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2023, a testament to its outstanding service and quality.
The hotel was also in the running in 2022. Known as the “Oscars of tourism,” the World Travel Awards are highly esteemed within the industry, as reported by El Confidencial.
