El Medano

El Medano

Split into two sections, sunbathers and surfers, this brilliant beach has great facilities including sunbeds, showers and disabled access, while retaining a local feel. There are no English pubs or gift shops here. And the surfers, whether kite, wind or board, all add to the beach’s relaxed vibe.

All our villas are a bit further away. If you’d like to stay close, here are some nearby hotels:
