Activities
Beach
Take a 3-minute walk to the 6 km long and 40 m wide sandy beach.
Foldable sun loungers are available for the duration of your stay. Several beach bars stay open until late in the evening and are a wonderful spot to experience the legendary sunsets of the Costa de la Luz.
Golf
Three excellent 18-hole courses within a radius of 3 to 5 km can be played all year round.

Roche & Restaurants
Roche
Roche is a small, private urbanization surrounded by vast pine forests, on a 6 km long sandy beach with natural coves. The urbanization is monitored 24/7, providing additional security and peace of mind. Here, you’ll find several restaurants, some of which are open year-round. Also, a small supermarket, pharmacy, hairdresser, playground, and many sports facilities are located about 100 meters from Villa Oleandra.

From the down-to-earth yet never boring cuisine of the Andalusians to the Michelin-starred cuisine of Angel Leon in El Puerto de Santa Maria. In Roche, you will find some restaurants within walking distance, such as the year-round open El Timon. Many restaurant details are available in the brochure at the house.
