Planning a family holiday on the coast of Cádiz shouldn’t be a puzzle. At Los Refugios del Alce we’ve designed everything to make it simple: five houses with a private pool in Chiclana de la Frontera and Novo Sancti Petri, room for large groups and the best beaches in Cádiz just a step away. If you’re after a summer plan where everyone fits —from the grandparents to the little ones— here you’ll find the ideal refuge for your family holidays.

Five houses to bring the whole family together

The greatest luxury of a family holiday is being able to stay together without giving up everyone’s own space. Our complex makes it possible with five independent houses that sleep up to 24 people, so there’s room for the couple, the kids, the aunts and uncles and the grandparents too —who are always the first to head out to the porch and the best at telling stories over lunch. You can rent a single house for an intimate getaway or book several and put together a family reunion in grand style.

Each refuge keeps its own character, but shares the same hallmark of care and rustic charm. That blend of privacy and closeness is what turns a simple stay into a family holiday you’ll remember for years.

A heated private pool at every house

Water is the undisputed star of a good family holiday, which is why each of the five houses has its own private pool. No sharing your dip with people you don’t know: the water is just for your family, at whatever temperature you fancy. Heated in the cooler months and refreshing in high summer, it’s a plan that works 365 days a year.

An early-morning swim before breakfast or one last dip as the evening draws in: the pool sets the relaxed pace of the family holiday and becomes the meeting point where the little ones don’t want to get out of the water and the grown-ups finally switch off.

From the playground to the barbecue: made for families

A family holiday with children works when they have their own space too. Right next to the houses there’s a playground with a slide where the kids burn off energy while the adults prepare the meal without any stress. And when evening falls, the porch and barbecue area become the heart of the house: a grill, a long table and those after-lunch chats that stretch on until the starry Cádiz sky lights up.

From the mid-morning dip to the evening barbecue, everything happens within the grounds, without getting in the car. That convenience is exactly what families and groups are looking for when they choose Los Refugios del Alce for their family holidays.

Cádiz beaches and things to do in Chiclana and Novo Sancti Petri

Staying in doesn’t mean giving up the coast. The refuge is just a few minutes from Playa de la Barrosa, one of the longest and brightest stretches of sand on the Cádiz coastline, and very close to the Novo Sancti Petri area, with its promenades, beach bars and golf courses. Beach days, sunset walks, seafood cuisine and plans for all ages: the area has more than enough to fill the diary of a family holiday without repeating a single plan.

You can also check the exact location of our refuge on Google Maps to work out the distances before you come.

August already has a plan: the last dates of summer

Summer flies by and the most sought-after dates sell out first. The last openings in August are still available, so if you already know that this year calls for a family holiday by the sea, now is the time to secure your house. First to write, first to choose: book now and forget about the rest.
