The detail

Hidden away in the historic old-town of this popular Spanish coastal town, this lovely hotel makes a great spot to relax, explore and enjoy the famous Tarifa waves. This exclusive boutique hotel promises guests a peaceful stay in unique surroundings.

Rooms have been stylishly designed and keep guests comfortable and cool. The smooth polished concrete floors contrast beautifully with the textured walls and ensure that, despite the heat outside, the rooms remain fresh. A tastefully muted colour scheme suggests the dry and sandy locality while soft furnishings are Moroccan-style - offering a nod to their neighbours over the water. Bright, modern prints add a blast of bright colour.

There are four types of room to chose from, the standard double, the standard double with patio, the superior double and the superior double with patio. All the rooms have comfy, deep, king-sized beds dressed with crisp white linens, cosy duvets and snug throws. Each room is en-suite with large modern walk-in showers, rainfall shower heads, luxurious toiletries and counter top basins.

There is a shared lounge area, with huge wall-mounted flat screen television, books and a comfy bench sofa. All visitors are provided with an indulgent breakfast with tables laden with fruit, yoghurts, cold meats, breads, eggs and cereals. Enjoy with freshly pressed juices and hot, fresh coffee to fortify yourself for a day in the waves.
Or take time out from the midday heat in the cool garden lounge. A magnificent array of foliage covers a large wall, casting shade onto swing seats which are perfect for enjoying the calm and indulging in an afternoon snooze.

At the end of the day, head back to the Kook for sundowner drinks from the hotel bar on the stunning roof terrace. Watch the sunset over the rooftops of the old town, as it sinks into the horizon and casts its dying rays onto the sparkling sea.

Tarifa marks the spot where the Mediterranean and Atlantic meet and high winds make it a Mecca for fans of watersports. Take advantage of the waves and learn to surf, windsurf or kitesurf. The white-washed old town has a very North African vibe and is lovely spot to explore. Foodies will love discovering the plethora of bars and tasting the incredible variety and quality of the local tapas.
