Palacio de Sancti Petri Gran Meliá

Coastal charm in Cadiz
VERIFIED LUXURY

A stay at Palacio de Sancti Petri Gran Meliá gracefully blends coastal relaxation and Spanish grandeur. Perched on the pristine sands of La Barrosa Beach, the resort evokes the elegance of an Andalusian palace with its arched colonnades, tranquil courtyards and terracotta rooftops.

Inside, rooms are airy and refined, featuring soft natural tones, spa-like bathrooms and balconies that open to garden or sea views. Days begin with leisurely breakfasts overlooking the Atlantic, followed by sun-drenched hours at the infinity pool, indulgent spa rituals or rounds of golf just minutes away.

The culinary offerings celebrate Andalusia with fresh, local ingredients and elevated Mediterranean flavors, whether you’re dining alfresco or in one of the chic indoor spaces. It’s the seamless fusion of classic style and modern comfort, along with calm, intuitive service that makes luxury feel effortless.

Our Inspector's Highlights
  • Palacio de Sancti Petri Gran Meliá’s sprawling layout means that it rarely ever feels crowded, even at full capacity. Courtyards, fountains and palm-shaded pathways create a peaceful rhythm that’s hard to find at other beach resorts.
  • The sea comes to shore with finesse at Alevante by Ángel León. Expect precision, poetry and plankton (yes, really) served in an intimate, almost meditative setting.
  • A soothing hydrotherapy circuit and indulgent therapies like seaweed wraps and chocolate body treatments make Spa By Clarins a must-visit.
  • The golden sands of La Barrosa Beach are spread at your feet, steps from your front door. Long, quiet stretches make this feel like your own private coast, especially early in the morning.
  • Links lovers should pack their clubs — the Cadiz hotel is surrounded by five courses, including the 36-hole Novo Sancti Petri Golf Course, designed by none other than Seve Ballesteros. Morning tee times come with ocean breezes, wide fairways and the occasional flamingo sighting, if you're lucky.
The Rooms
  • Even the entry-level rooms feel thoughtfully designed, with calming earth tones, clean-lined furnishings and big windows that let in that salty Atlantic air. The beds are impossibly plush — perfect for post-beach naps or lazy mornings with room service.
  • Elevate your experience with a Sea View Room to wake up to the sound of waves. Ocean-facing patios provide just the spot for sipping morning coffee or an evening glass of sherry.
  • Upgrading to RedLevel accommodations gives you access to exclusive lounges, personalized service, a separate pool and extras like welcome cava and turndown treats. The rooms themselves feel like a step up in both space and serenity with rainfall showers, Nespresso machines and spacious terraces.
  • For extra privacy, opt for the Grand Suite RedLevel. Sea vistas and a private garden equipped with a daybed provide your own secluded paradise just steps from your bedroom.
