Tucked at the end of Playa El Sardinero, right on the sea front with the Parque de Mataleñas at its rear, the Hotel Chiqui occupies a truly privileged position, peaceful yet close to all the action, whilst capturing the essence of the open sea.

Rooms are simple, bright and airy, many sea-facing, with large picture windows that let in plenty of sunlight and make the most of the lovely sea views. There’s a sun-deck with loungers and a stunning infinity pool that blends seamlessly with the horizon, offering a unique and mesmerizing view of the seascape and with the Cantabrian mountains as a backdrop.

For dining, the hotel's Panorama Restaurant & Lounge is a real treat. It opens onto a spacious terrace and serves a variety of local and international dishes.

Santander, Cantabria, North Spain

At the heart of Cantabria the beautiful bay of Santander not only offers a natural harbour but lovely sheltered beaches right beside the city centre.

Favoured by the royals at the turn of the century the city centre has a definite Belle Epoque feel to it and the royal Palacio de la Magdalena stands proud on the headland which all but closes the bay as testament to those days.

Often overlooked or thought of as just a port of entry, Santander is a beautiful, lively city, steeped in history and with plenty of great restaurants and tapas bars, a fine maritime Museum and great shopping too!

  • If staying east of the city take the little ferry from Somo into the heart of Santander – an experience to remember!Centro Botín – splendid new arts centre right on the water
  • MUPAC – archaeological museum of Cantabria – not to be missed!
  • Splendid beaches of Madalena & Sardinero
  • Palacio de Magdalena
  • Maritime Museum
  • Fishy treats in the Barrio Pesquero
  • Take a ferry across the bay to Somo
  • Cycle out on the Via Verde to the Valle del Pas
  • Altamira caves in nearby Santillana del Mar
  • Delightful Comillas with the Capricho de Gaudí
