Located in the province of Cádiz on Spain’s southern Atlantic coast, Costa Ballena is a welcoming corner of Andalusia that feels both relaxed and special. Here, days begin with gentle sea breezes and end with sunsets over the ocean, all beneath 320 days of sunshine each year.
With a 27-hole golf course designed by José María Olazábal and a Blue Flag beach stretching for miles, Costa Ballena is perfect for those who love the outdoors. Yet the real charm is how easily you can explore the best of Cádiz from here — whether that means experiencing traditional flamenco, witnessing the famous Carthusian horses, or venturing into the Sierra de Cádiz and its iconic white villages.
From lazy mornings by the sea to afternoons spent discovering the region’s rich culture and beautiful landscapes, Costa Ballena is an ideal base. Whether you’re an expat, a digital nomad, or just on a short break, you’ll find that Costa Ballena is a place to unwind, connect, and create lasting memories — by the coast and beyond.
