Cadiz province, in the southern Spanish region of Andalucia, is enhancing its visitor experience in 2026 with a focus on luxury boutique accommodations in historic settings, new large-scale coastal resorts, and continued promotion of its rich cultural, gastronomic, and natural assets. The province benefits from Andalucia’s broader sustainable tourism strategy, with strong expectations for growth driven by events and improved infrastructure.
Several significant hotel projects are set to open or become operational in 2026, emphasising restoration of heritage buildings and premium coastal offerings.
Casa Alameda (Cadiz city), part of The Melia Collection: This boutique retreat, reviving an 18th-century Baroque casa-palacio originally built for the Marquess of Casa Reca√±o and classified as architectural heritage, is scheduled for opening in 2026. Following meticulous restoration of two adjoining buildings, it will offer 36 rooms with views over Alameda Apodaca, blending historic charm with luxury amenities and marking Meli√° Hotels International’s commitment to storied properties in Andalucia.
Eurostars Casa del Almirante (Cadiz city): A 4-star hotel in a building dating from the late 17th century in the historic centre, with rehabilitation underway since September 2024. It is expected to open in the third quarter of 2026, adding to the city’s growing premium urban accommodation options as the seventh Eurostars property in Cadiz.
√Åurea Palacio de Puerto Hermoso (Jerez de la Frontera): Another Eurostars project, this 4-star boutique hotel in a historic palace will feature 52 rooms, a spa, and outdoor pool. It is also slated for the third quarter of 2026, becoming the fourth Eurostars establishment in Jerez and enhancing the area’s appeal for cultural and sherry-focused tourism.
Amàre Sancti Petri (Chiclana de la Frontera, Novo Sancti Petri area): A 4-star superior adults-only hotel from Grupo Fuerte, with 352 rooms on a 40,000-square-metre site with direct access to La Barrosa beach. Construction began in 2024 with an investment exceeding €30 million, and the opening is planned for 1 May 2026. This marks the first major hotel addition in the prestigious Novo Sancti Petri resort area in 18 years, promising high-end facilities and employment for around 300 people.
The hospitality sector in Cadiz anticipates an “ilusionante” (exciting) 2026, with these openings contributing to increased capacity and optimism for sustained growth in visitor numbers and occupancy.
Arturo Bernal, Consejero de Turismo y Andalucia Exterior de la Junta de Andalucia, has underscored the importance of tourism as a driver of prosperity across the region.
