As part of our Safe Hands initiative, there are a number of resort protocols in place to ensure that your stay with us is both safe and enjoyable.
The resort has been registered by the Junta de Andalucia as a “safe resort”, meaning you can enjoy your holiday with confidence. We would also like to share with you some of the government regulations for Andalucia, Spain which you will need to bear in mind when not on resort.
For yours and the team’s safety, all team members are wearing PPE in accordance with established guidelines and regulations in the hotel industry. We have also installed screens at high contact points around the resort.
Please ensure that you maintain the recommended physical distance between yourself and non-family members at all possible times.
We hope you enjoy your holiday!
