Golf
The Islantilla Golf Club is probably the most beautiful in the whole of Andalusia; the spectacular 27 hole layout was designed in the most pure parkland style, set in a pine wood landscape and boasting incredible sea views.

The interesting and high quality course is home to Pencross greens and a Bermuda fairway. Islantilla Golf Club opened in 1992 and houses a lovely colonial style clubhouse.  The course is only 5-10 minute’s walk from most apartments in Islantilla.

Places to visit
As Islantilla is a recently created tourist complex, it draws on its founders Lepe and Isla Cristina and nearby Ayamonte for its traditions, culture, gastronomy, folklore and the typical charm of Huelva.

If you want to explore the culture of the area
visit the towns of Isla Cristina and Ayamonte. Head to the fishing ports to see the boats coming in full of fish and shellfish, observe the local markets, or take in the contrasts of the Lepe landscape, which combines the blue of the sea with the vast, coloured fields of strawberries and oranges.

The older town of La Antilla (about a 5 minute
drive) offers further shopping amenities, restaurants, supermarkets and cafes in a beach side location.

La Antilla has a tranquil and very long beach (22km). Whatever time of the year you come, you can enjoy the various water sports, cycling, horse riding and beautiful surroundings.

Islantilla won’t disappoint, the area  offers a variety of leisure pursuits, including: Water Parks, Karting, sailing, windsurfing, fishing, horse riding, cycling, tennis, sightseeing, Rio Tinto and Zoo Marine in Portugal. All these attractions are within a short driving distance of Islantilla. You can also visit Doñana National Park and the
beautiful city of Seville, which is just one hour away by car. 

Cuisine
The richness and variety of the local products
make the food one of the most attractive features of the area. Typical dishes include ray in red pepper, tuna with onion and cuttlefish with broad beans. These are complimented with a wide range of fried fish, prawns and clams.

Islantilla review

Een 'modern' stadje met veel rommelige nieuwbouw. In het centrum is weinig anders te beleven dan een armetierige permanent kermisje voor jonge kinderen. En een soort permanente braderie met (vooral) héél veel armbandjes en goedkope kleding.


Costa de la Luz reviews

De kust is geweldig! Als je van strand houdt; heengaan. Lekker 1 of 2 weken (bijna) gegarandeerde zonvakantie. Op strand zijn wel wat redelijke strandtenten te vinden, waar je kunt drinken én best redelijk kunt eten.

Islantilla review

A recolha do lixo e a limpeza das ruas era muito má.


Costa de la Luz reviews

As praias eram agradáveis, os restaurantes medianos em qualidade e alguns caros, em comparação com o preço qualidade, por exemplo, do Algarve. As pessoas eram simpáticas, e senti-me bem, como se estivesse em casa. Gostei muito de haver informação, além do Espanhol e do Inglês, em Português.

Islantilla review

Apenas casas de férias e hóteis. Pouco comércio.


Costa de la Luz reviews

Boas estradas sem portagem. Zona com muitos traços mouriscos. Não muito bonita. Sevilla é uma cidade muito bonita com muita coisa para visitar. AS praias são grandes mas não pudemos apreciar porque apanhámos mau tempo.
