The Costa de la Luz is once again setting the trend. On 17 April Amàre Beach Hotel Sancti Petri opened its doors, a destination poised to become one of the main draws for premium tourism in Andalusia, offering a proposition that combines a privileged location, contemporary design, signature gastronomy and experiences aimed at an adult audience seeking something more than a simple holiday.
Located in the famous Novo Sancti Petri of Chiclana de la Frontera, the hotel literally sits on the shores of the Atlantic, with direct access to La Barrosa beach, one of the most highly regarded sands in southern Europe, stretching almost eight kilometres. Its surroundings, defined by light and endless sunsets, shape a proposition centred on the pleasure of enjoying life without hurry.
Proximity to strategic points reinforces its appeal: the airport of Jerez de la Frontera is barely 55 kilometres away, while the city of Cadiz lies some 36 kilometres distant. A privileged location that makes Amáre Beach Hotel Sancti Petri accessible by plane, train or road for both weekend breaks and longer stays.
The concept is clear: an ‘adults recommended’ hotel designed for couples and groups of friends seeking to unwind in a sophisticated setting, with the thrill of the south as a common thread. Added to this are countless experiences ranging from the minimalist, carefully curated design of every space to multiple entertainment options and carefully crafted signature gastronomy.
Rooms with sea views
The rooms and suites at Amàre Beach Hotel Sancti Petri favour a combination of contemporary luxury, functionality and a fresh aesthetic. The idea is not just to stay, but to inhabit the space: large windows, terraces open to the sea and a careful selection of materials turn each room into a sensory experience. An environment in which to savour every second.
The equipment is thought out in detail: Nespresso machine, ‘amenities’ premium, bathrobes, slippers, integrated technology and services that reinforce the feeling of total comfort. Here, rest is not a pause: it is an essential part of the journey. And what better way to enjoy moments of disconnection than with a very special gastronomic offer…
Gastronomy, the heart of the hotel
If there is one element that defines the hotel’s positioning it is its gastronomic commitment. Amàre Beach Hotel Sancti Petri is not only accommodation: it is a culinary destination in its own right.
The Hayaca restaurant, located on the ‘rooftop’, is one of its great icons. Led by Michelin-starred chef Mauricio Giovanini, it offers contemporary Latin American-inspired cuisine, where technique and creativity combine with the product to deliver a unique experience overlooking the ocean.
The Mare Nostrum, for its part, structures the daily offering with a varied, healthy buffet rooted in Mediterranean tradition, ideal for both breakfasts and dinners in a relaxed atmosphere.
During the day, the Amàre Pool & Lounge becomes the informal meeting point: late breakfasts, light dishes and a menu designed to be enjoyed by the pool without missing the summer rhythm.
In addition, the hotel’s culinary proposition features the participation of leading gastronomic ‘curators’ who contribute their experience and vision to the project. Among them, Carlos Navarro, runner-up in 2024 of the European final of the Japanese Culinary Arts Awards and responsible for the sushi offering. Guests will be able to enjoy his technique and cuisine at an exclusive counter located in Amàre Pool, a unique space where they can discover one of the best ‘sushimen’ in Europe.
For his part, Meritxell Falgueras, a recognised wine communicator and winner of the award for the best book on oenological education at the Gourmand World Awards 2021, has designed a menu intended to accompany and elevate each of the hotel’s gastronomic experiences.
Leisure and enjoyment with views
When the sun sets, the spotlight shifts to the Belvue Rooftop Bar, one of the spaces set to become an icon of the area. Its spectacular pool, fused with the horizon, creates a dramatic setting to enjoy live music, DJ sessions and a signature cocktail menu designed by renowned bartender Diego Cabrera.
Here, the experience goes beyond accommodation: it’s lifestyle, it’s atmosphere, it’s socialising with the Atlantic as the backdrop.
Wellness and limitless exclusivity
The concept of wellbeing materialises at Amàre Wellness Sancti Petri, a space designed to balance body and mind. High-end facial and body treatments, massage rituals and a gym with sea views complete an offering that seeks to elevate the guest experience.
For those looking for an extra, the ‘The One‘ service introduces a superior level of exclusivity: personalised attention, private spaces, premium ‘amenities’, an exclusive ‘lounge’ and additional advantages that turn the stay into something completely distinctive.
A new benchmark on the Costa de la Luz
The opening of Amàre Beach Hotel Sancti Petri is much more than the arrival of a new hotel. It is the consolidation of a trend: the Costa de la Luz as a destination for ‘premium’ experiences where gastronomy, design and ‘lifestyle’ are integrated into a coherent proposition.
As stated at its presentation, the project is born with a clear ambition: to become the new ‘place to be’ of southern Spain, combining local product, culinary creativity and an emotional experience shaped by the surroundings. With the Atlantic as the setting, sunsets as an attraction and an offering thought out in detail, Amàre Beach Hotel Sancti Petri opens its doors with a clear message: contemporary luxury is also written with an Andalusian accent.
