A gem in Isla Cristina

In the charming resort of Isla Cristina on Spain's Costa de la Luz, the SMY ISLA CRISTINA offers a serene and picturesque retreat, ideal for relaxation and adventure. Surrounded by sandy beaches, pine forests, and salt marshes, this modern hotel provides the perfect blend of natural beauty and contemporary comfort.

A pool each for adults and kids takes care of the water babies, while a jam-packed summer schedule of entertainment ensures boredom is the furthest thing from your mind. The fun-filled Barcy Club is a real gem, with tons of activities, games, and workshops tailored around a wide variety of interests. Everyone from budding artists to aspiring dancers can get stuck in. And for the grown-ups, take your pick from a workout in the gym, a session in the sauna, or an indulgent (and maybe much-needed) massage.

Find out more about Isla Cristina

Tantalising close to the Guadiana River, which marks the Portuguese border on the westerly part of the blissful Costa de la Luz, coastal Isla Cristina retains its old-world charms as a seafaring village. Sun-faded boats still bob on the bay, and it’s not hard to come by the salted fish that’s been produced here for generations.  
 
The Carreras River wraps around Isla Cristina and flows into the Atlantic Ocean. It’s here you’ll find a complex system of tidal marshes that attract an astonishing number of birds, including spoonbills. Follow the trails through the marshes on foot or by bike or take a boat trip on the Carreras Estuary to get an idea of the scale of this natural wonderland. 
 
If you find yourself in Isla Cristina for sunny weather and excellent beaches, there are a couple of great options to try. Playa de la Casita Azul is of the honey-coloured sand variety lapped by calm waters. Or you can cross a footbridge over a gorge to reach Gaviota, a beach built in the shelter of the breakwater.
