Staying here means dinner on the sand at a hotel small enough to feel private. The catch is stairs: the pool, the beach and Coconuts are all down the cliff below the rooms.
Hotel, Southampton. Meridian Dispatch.
The hotel is on three levels. At the top, Solaris, the clifftop dining room, serves breakfast behind curved windows or out on the terrace. Lower down, the freshwater infinity pool and a hot tub face the open sea.
At the bottom, guests can use kayaks, paddle boards and snorkelling gear on the beach at no charge. Coconuts serves lunch on its deck and brings lighter plates to tables on the sand.
Two tennis courts with racquets supplied, four pickleball courts and a daily afternoon tea fill the rest of the day, and La Serena Spa takes bookings on site. Bring a layer for the evening, because the clifftop is more exposed to wind than the hotels around it.
Nearest first, all within 37 minutes on foot from the door.
