Costa Natura has over 200 apartments. The striking architecture is typically Andalucian, with white walls, curved tiles and patios which open out to the luscious palm-fringed gardens and the sea. The beautiful layout mixes colourful flower beds with clusters of apartments and a few imposing 'pyramids' which blend well into the rising ground.
Note: There are plans for major building works alongside Costa Natura in 2006.
FACILITIES The focal point of the resort is the swimming pool, heated by solar power. It is surrounded by pleasant sunbathing lawns, with a number of sun loungers available. Showers, sauna and a jacuzzi are nearby. Overlooking the pool is the restaurant/bar with a large open-air terrace. Once a week, there is evening entertainment in the restaurant (typically a Spanish trio, a folklore show, a guitarist, games, or dancing). The supermarket stocks basic food and drink. Other items such as fresh meat, newspapers, etc are supplied to order (one day later).
A volleyball court, table tennis, massage and miniten are available and a tennis court (textile) is nearby. There is a large number of golf courses on the Costa del Sol. The nearest are at Estepona, El Paraiso and at Sotogrande, each a 20 minute drive away. Cars may be hired from Reception on a daily basis. (Recommended for sightseeing, shopping and eating out.)
THE BEACH The beach front of Costa Natura extends over 650 yards. The depth of the beach changes considerably with the tide, and it shelves fairly steeply. There is fine, grey sand, covered by shingle in places, and a few rocks. The sea temperature fluctuates greatly with the changing currents. Sun umbrellas and loungers are all available for hire on the beach. From lunchtime, the beach bar serves taas, freshly presssed juices and all other drinks.
WHERE YOU STAY The apartments each have a terrace. Beds serve as settees during the day. Although single, they are mounted on wheels and can be joined together to make double beds within seconds. The kitchenettes have a fridge, microwave, coffee-maker, toaster, and the necessary crockery, cutlery, pots, pans and towels. Each apartment has ample cupboard space, a clothes airer, an ironing board, television set and telephone. Safe deposit boxes may be rented at reception.
We have the following options: Type E studios for up to 2 people; Type A2 or C open-plan apartments for up to 4 people; Type A1 duplex apartments for up to 5 people; Type B apartments for up to 6 people.
SIGHTSEEING Costa Natura is well placed for interesting excursions. You can take the ferry across the Straits of Gibraltar to Ceuta (Spanish) and Tetuan or Tangier (in Morocco). You can visit Seville or take a day trip to the Rock of Gibraltar.
