Valentin Sancti Petri sits in the laid-back resort of Novo Sancti Petri on Spain’s Costa de la Luz, a sun-baked stretch of Atlantic coastline famed for its long, wild-feeling beaches and excellent golf. The hotel opens out directly onto Playa La Barrosa, a 6km ribbon of soft sand lapped by rolling waves and dotted with chilled chiringuitos.

Away from the water, you’re perfectly placed for tee times at several top-rated courses, sunset strolls along the promenade and relaxed evenings in nearby bars and restaurants. The historic town of Chiclana is within easy reach for a dose of authentic Andalusian charm, plazas and tapas.

Highchairs and microwaves make life easy for families.

A quartet of à la carte venues adds variety: Mercado Del Sur showcases Spanish and regional dishes; Levante mixes Italian, Mexican and local bites on the terrace; Poniente keeps things Andalusian and seafood-forward at lunch; and Vava Beach Club sits right on the sand, pairing sea views with international, Spanish and local cuisine.

Seven bars are dotted around the grounds, including Bar Bahia for a classic lobby bar experience, Bar Jerez for lounge-bar cocktails, Café Sisal for coffees and daytime drinks, La Pergola and Teatro Plaza for garden and terrace cocktails, plus two pool bars for chilled drinks by the water.
