La Veleta Cádiz
View prices & book
- Peaceful rural glamping 15 minutes’ drive from Vejer de la Frontera
- Surfing beaches 15 minutes’ drive and Doñana National Park an hour
- Traditional Mongolian yurts; a communal kitchen and alfresco dining
Not all yurts are made equal, but the ones at La Veleta Cádiz, 15 minutes’ drive from Vejer de la Frontera on the Costa de La Luz, are the real thing. They’re genuine Mongolian tents with spacious, carved wood interiors, a traditional ‘smoke hole’ at the top and Berber-influenced rugs to cosy up the interiors.
Each has a roomy double bed (all linens provided) and thoughtful features like convertible sofa beds and storage space. Steps away are shared showers, a communal kitchen with all the pots, pans and basics needed for conjuring up simple meals, and a terrace for alfresco dining. However, with just a handful of pitches on 7,000 square metres of land, there is more than enough space to get away from everybody if you want to be alone.
Wandering about this leafy rural property, all you’ll hear is birds singing, cows mooing and the ghostly call of peacocks; it’s hard to remember that you’re only 15 minutes by car from Los Caños de Meca and El Palmar surfing beaches. La Breña Natural Park is also next door, ready to be explored... after you’ve had a siesta, of course – and if you’re not quite relaxed enough by then, you can book massages in your yurt.

Local attractions
As well as the surfing beaches, La Veleta Cádiz is within easy striking distance of soft sandy stretches at Conil de la Frontera (20 minutes’ drive) and Zahora, as well as Trafalgar Lighthouse (both 15 minutes). If you’d prefer to leave the car behind, it’s a 20-minute cycle ride to the coast along a quiet country road; you might also try horse riding among coastal pine forests in La Breña Natural Park (15 minutes) or take a kayak along the Barbate River (40 minutes).
Birdwatchers can follow trails through Doñana National Park (an hour) to (hopefully) see ospreys, plovers and egrets. Those of you with sea legs may prefer to head out on whale-watching cruises, which depart from the watersports hub of Tarifa (55 minutes).
Heading inland, immerse yourself in Andalusian culture at the gleaming white town of Vejer de la Frontera (15 minutes), where life centres on a fountain-filled square overlooked by centuries-old churches. Hilltop Santa Lucía (20 minutes) has far-reaching views to the Mediterranean Sea, and while there you can follow the course of an ancient Roman aqueduct. With its landmark cathedral, gorgeous gardens and lively tapas scene, Cádiz (55 minutes) is the place for urban days out.
