Barcelo Conil Playa occupies a prime cliffside perch above the pretty cove of Fuente del Gallo, just outside the whitewashed town of Conil de la Frontera on Spain’s Costa de la Luz. This stretch of Atlantic coastline feels deliciously untamed – long blonde beaches, rolling waves and big skies – yet you’re close enough to dip into Conil’s tapas bars, boutiques and historic old town whenever the mood takes you.

It’s an excellent base for day trips too: drive up the coast to the ancient port city of Cádiz, explore the region’s famous white villages, or join surf schools and watersports outfits dotted along the shoreline.

• 600m from the beach (Fuente del Gallo area)
• 800m from the nearest restaurants
• 2km from Conil de la Frontera resort centre and old town
• Easy access by road to Cádiz for a day trip (around 40 minutes’ drive)

Approx. transfer time from airport: approx. 1 hour 20 minutes from Jerez (XRY)

Conil de la Frontera, Costa De La Luz East, Spain

Food is a real highlight here, with a focus on Andalusian flavours and Atlantic-fresh ingredients.

Almadraba Buffet Restaurant
The main buffet restaurant serves breakfast and dinner with live show-cooking. Expect a generous spread of hot and cold options, Spanish specialities and international favourites, plus healthier choices and plenty for vegetarians.

Arrozante
An à la carte spot specialising in rice and local Spanish cuisine for leisurely lunches on the terrace. Ideal for paella and seafood fans looking to linger over the views.

Atunante
An elegant à la carte restaurant serving refined, locally inspired dishes for dinner, with a smart dress code (gentlemen are asked to wear long trousers and beachwear is not permitted).

B-Heaven Rooftop Bar
Head to the roof terrace bar from early evening for signature cocktails, chilled music and some of the finest sunset views on this part of the coast (opening times and access may depend on occupancy; local charge to access rooftop terrace area).

Lobby Bar & Snack Bar El Roqueo

Please note: a smart dress code may apply and facilities between restaurants and bars may vary. Reservations may be required and a supplement may be payable depending on your board basis. Information is based on the previous season and may be subject to change. What All Inclusive typically includes.

With three sparkling freshwater pools and the Atlantic on your doorstep, you’re spoilt for choice when it comes to a swim.

• Rooftop infinity pool – a standout feature, this elevated pool appears to flow straight into the ocean, with sunbeds, Balinese beds and parasols lined up for long, lazy sessions in the sun. A local charge applies for access to the rooftop terrace area.

• Main outdoor pools – two further freshwater pools at different levels of the property, each with sunbathing areas, loungers, hammocks and parasols.

Pool towels are available with a refundable deposit, so you can travel lighter.

Down below, the beach is around 600m away. The Fuente del Gallo area is known for its striking red cliffs, natural feel and Atlantic rollers – perfect for refreshing dips, long walks at low tide and sunset strolls.

Active types are well catered for with an air-conditioned gym equipped with cardio machines, fixed strength equipment, a free weights area and stretching zone (typically open 07:00–23:00, subject to change).

While there’s no full spa on site, the relaxed vibe, cliffside location and generous pool terraces create a naturally restorative feel, and you’ll find additional wellness and spa options in and around Conil.

Entertainment is deliberately gentle and low-key, with occasional daytime activities and evening entertainment such as live music running year-round. The programme leans predominantly Spanish, which adds to the sense of being in an authentically Andalusian setting rather than a generic resort.

Other useful touches include:
• Sustainable hotel certification and eco-conscious practices
• Gardens and landscaped outdoor spaces wrapped around the cliffs
• On-site concierge and luggage storage at reception
