Superb Horse Riding Vacations on the Costa de la Luz in Andalusia, Spain.
You are in home / week long holiday For available dates and prices please see bottom of page or click here
A Beach Gallop
Fantastic week of horse riding.
During your holiday with us you will enjoy fantastic riding, have time to sunbathe on the beach and join in on some great socialising over dinner. Our riding provides two superb days of beach horse riding, and three days of fantastic forest riding. Each day is unique and includes steady canters along sandy tracks and fantastic gallops along firebreaks. Beach riding days are unforgettable, a dream come true! Although the gallops are fast our horses are well mannered and go at a pace that our riders ask of them. In-between canters we move on at a relaxed pace enabling you to make the most of this incredibly peaceful forest. Our horse riding holidays provide superb off road horse back riding for guests that know how to ride.
Superb horse riding adventure
Your holiday base for the week is the seaside town of Barbate. The town provides a fantastic setting for an all year round holiday destination. Our accommodation is just a few minutes walk from the town's beautiful 1km long fine sandy beach, ideal for relaxing and sunbathing after the day's riding has finished. However Barbate is much more than superb riding and a fantastic beach. Barbate also has a lovely promenade with ice-cream parlours, bars and restaurants. As well as all this Barbate also has a great town centre with shopping, a lovely town square and a superb fish and fruit market. During your week with us you will experience the many delights that our horse riding offers and also be able to enjoy the adventure of living in a typical Spanish town.

The pine forest.
Friendly, welcoming groups.
Our vacations are ideal for both single people and for group bookings. We keep our groups small and friendly so that our guests can bond together and create a great friendly atmosphere. You will meet like minded people and have made many new friends by the end of the holiday. The rides are led by ourselves, Steve and Caroline, and the maximum group size is kept to nine. Our aim is to provide a value for money all inclusive horse riding vacation that is a dream come true. All your needs will be well taken care of by ourselves so that you can enjoy a stress free holiday.
Superb Accommodation Options.
We offer two accommodation options. The first is in our own Fantasia Apartments which are only five minutes walk from the beach. In these comfortable three bedroom apartments you will be allocated your own private bedroom and share the rest of the apartment with up to two other guests. On this option solo bookings will not be charged a single room supplement. Couples (male / female) will be allocated their own bedroom with on suite bathroom.
Our second accommodation option is in the luxurious Adiafa Hotel. The hotel is excellent and is very well appointed. The hotel is located only 50 meters from the sea front and all the bedrooms are double rooms. Most of the bedrooms have a balcony with full sea view, while the rest have a full or partial sea view. Depending on availability guests will be allocated a room with a balcony and full sea view. Single bookings on this option will always be allocated their own bedroom and dual bookings will share. There is an option for a triple room if available.
Our apartments and the hotel are very near to each other, therefore all our guests on both options will be able to spend the time available after riding together, and join up in the evening for dinner.
