Palacio De Sancti Petri Gran Melia  

On Spain’s Costa de la Luz in Novo Sancti Petri, this seafront palace-style hotel sits directly on La Barrosa beach in Chiclana de la Frontera. Close to top golf courses and the Cádiz coast, it’s a family-friendly beachfront escape.

Housed in a former neo‑Mudejar palace with hacienda-style courtyards, the property blends Andalusian design and modern comforts. Rooms have balconies or terraces with sea views, Nespresso machines, minibars, air conditioning and safes, all framed by warm, sunlit décor that nods to local Arab heritage.

Soak in a full-service spa offering massages, facials and a hydrotherapy circuit (some treatments extra), unwind in two outdoor pools plus a children’s pool, sweat it out in the fitness center, or sip at the beach bar and poolside bar. There’s a coffee shop, 24-hour room service, buffet breakfast (fee), kids club and babysitting (surcharge).

A business center and 3 meeting rooms provide about 7,147 sq ft (664 m²) of event space, with express check-in/out and complimentary wireless internet—ideal for conferences and corporate events.

Four on-site restaurants span international and regional Andalusian flavors, including a celebrated fine-dining seaside option. Multiple bars and a café round out casual bites and sunset cocktails.
