Map & location


Novo Sancti Petri, Costa De La Luz East, Spain

Novo Sancti Petri is the laidback, upscale face of the Costa de la Luz – a low-rise resort strung along a 6km ribbon of pale-gold sand and backed by dunes and golf greens rather than high-rises. Hipotels Barrosa Palace & Spa sits in a prime frontline position, with direct beach access via the garden and promenade.

Stroll the seafront past chiringuitos and beach clubs, or head 3km inland to the small resort centre for shops and restaurants. Golfers are spoilt for choice with Real Novo Sancti Petri Golf Club and several other top-rated courses dotted within a short drive, all framed by Atlantic views and pine forest. Day trips to Chiclana, Cádiz and Jerez put whitewashed old towns, bodegas and tapas streets within easy reach.

  • Real Novo Sancti Petri Golf Club 1.3km
  • Novo Sancti Petri resort centre 3km
  • Approx. transfer time from Jerez (XRY) airport 50 minutes

More info

Novo Sancti Petri sits on Spain’s Atlantic-facing Costa de la Luz, known for big skies, sweeping sands and a more Spanish, less built-up feel than the Mediterranean costas. Language is Spanish, currency is the Euro (€) and the time difference from the UK is typically +1 hour. Average flight time from the UK to Jerez (XRY) is around 3 hours, followed by an approximate 50-minute transfer to the hotel.

This region is particularly popular with golfers thanks to several top-rated courses nearby, while non-golfers enjoy long beach walks, watersports and easy day trips to historic Andalusian towns. Local prices are generally good value compared with the Med – think reasonably priced tapas, seafood and local beer in laidback chiringuitos along Playa de la Barrosa.
