Accommodation And Amenities

Set in the heart of Tarifa’s historic centre, Apartamentos La Residencia Tarifa enjoys one of the most remarkable settings in southern Europe. From the superior apartments, guests are treated to sweeping views across the Strait of Gibraltar, where the Mediterranean meets the Atlantic, with the Rif Mountains of Morocco rising on the horizon. The ever-changing light creates a constantly shifting panorama, while the location places guests just moments from the port and some of the finest beaches on the Costa de la Luz.

Sheltered by Tarifa’s historic city walls, the aparthotel offers a peaceful retreat even when the famous Levante wind is blowing. South- and southwest-facing balconies fill the apartments with natural light throughout the day, while the rooftop terrace provides an unforgettable setting for sunset. Every morning begins with a view that feels uniquely Tarifa.

The property features 16 fully equipped apartments, thoughtfully designed to suit couples, families and longer stays. Accommodation ranges from romantic sea-view studios to spacious two-bedroom family apartments, each combining comfort, character and contemporary convenience.
