Iberotel Club Fanara

Enjoying a prominent cliff top location at the end of this stretch of coastline, this property has an almost country club air of tranquillity surrounded by lush tropical gardens overlooked by attractive wings of accommodation.

Pool decks are well furnished with the more energetic tackling the steep but easily manageable roadway to the fully serviced and scenic beach. Suited to couples and families alike with the quieter Residence offering a little more solitude.

To the upper-floor, there are wooden framed windows with thinner trim to those on the ground-level.
