Ardea Purpurea Lodge  

In the heart of Doñana’s marshland, just outside Villamanrique de la Condesa. You’re about 11 miles from El Rocío, 19 miles from Matalascañas beach and roughly 22–26 miles from Seville. Family-friendly and wheelchair-accessible, it sits on a quiet 9-hectare estate for a neighbours‑free escape.

A modern lodge inspired by local marsh huts, opened in 2010 with around 17–18 individually decorated bungalows. Rooms have terraces with lake and forest views, open-plan kitchens and living areas, flat-screen TVs, free Wi‑Fi, safes and air conditioning. Note: reception isn’t 24/7—arrivals after 22:00 should be arranged in advance.

Seasonal outdoor pool, garden, terrace and solarium for lazy afternoons. On-site bar/cafeteria and a main restaurant, private parking and free electric buggy routes on the estate. Book horseback rides or horse-drawn carriage trips nearby and use the tour desk or concierge to plan excursions.

Conference facilities and meeting-ready spaces on site. Complimentary Wi‑Fi, multilingual staff and luggage storage make short events easy to run.

ARDEA PURPUREA RESTAURANT serves Mediterranean cuisine with garden views and alfresco options. There’s also a bar/lounge, a café for snacks and room service when you want to stay in.
