Matagorda Holidays

Set to the east of Puerto del Carmen, Matagorda is renowned for its winning combination of sun, sea and sand. The resort's beach is particularly popular with both families and couples, and has been awarded a blue flag for cleanliness. The beach is packed with soft sand and lapped by crystal clear waters - perfect for sunbathing and swimming. The offshore breeze also makes the resort particularly popular with windsurfers. Matagorda is made up of whitewashed villas, beachfront restaurants, as well as a modern shopping mall.

In the evenings, visitors can relax over cocktails, tuck into traditional Spanish tapas and locally caught seafood at the restaurants lining the beachfront.
