This is a luxury penthouse apartment in unspoilt surroundings and with stunning sea views. The property sleeps 6 in 3 double bedrooms, and there are 2 bathrooms, one is en-suite to the main bedroom. There is an extremely large terrace with jacuzzi and BBQ, with both covered and uncovered areas and with a good range of terrace furniture and flower beds. One bed even incorporates a lemon tree! The front of the terrace offers spectacular beach and sea views, while the rear of the terrace looks over beautiful and peaceful protected wetlands with a variety of native and migrant birdlife. The best sunsets can be seen from this side.
Because the apartment is our second home you will find it exceptionally well equipped. The kitchen has microwave, dishwasher, oven, hob , toaster, kettle etc and in the utility room there is a washing machine, iron and ironing board. There is a good supply of crockery, cutlery and pans.
For your comfort the apartment is provided with air-conditioning and central heating, and for chillier evenings there is a fireplace. Two of the bedrooms open out on to the terrace and the main bedroom has a king-sized bed.
The living room is a large area with 2 large settees and patio doors opening on to the terrace. There is satellite TV, DVD and a supply of DVDs, books and games. In addition there is a large, separate dining room with superb sea views.

The development offers paddle tennis courts and two swimming pools, all set in a landscaped garden area. Private car-parking is available underneath the building. There are lifts up to the apartment, which is on the fifth floor.
The beach is about 100m away, and it is an easy walk to bars, restaurants, shops and an attractive Marina. The beach is safe for bathing due to a gently sloping ocean bed, and is warm from about May to the end of October. A top-notch golf course is a five minute drive away, and there are a further 6 or 7 within easy driving distance.
Isla Canela itself is an exclusive resort in the mouth of the Guadiana river, separating Spain from Portugal. It is 5km from the pretty Andalucian town of Ayamonte, with palm-fringed squares, cobbled streets and ancient buildings.

Sitting neatly in the southwestern corner of the Huelva province is Isla Canela. This is one of the most popular resorts along this stretch of coastline, both with English and Spanish holidaymakers. Whilst it can be busy, it’s not to be compared with some of the other livelier resorts.
The local fishermen are in the waters daily catching tuna and sardines, which by the end of the day are served in many of the waterfront restaurants. However before indulging in some culinary delights, you may wish to relax on the wide, sandy beach and watch the world go by. Alternatively there are golf courses in the area if you choose to improve your handicap.
The resort of Isla Canela is surrounded by a number of typical Spanish and Portuguese white towns, which punctuate the coast from Faro in Portugal to Cadiz in Spain. If you take the Columbus tour from Isla Canela Tours in the Marina, you will visit the pretty white town of El Rocio, site of the annual pilgrimage from Seville to honour the Virgin of the Rocks.
In Ayamonte you can explore the little streets and boutiques, or visit the numerous churches and other historic buildings. My own favourite is the Palace of the Marquis (now the town hall) in Laguna Square, which is also a charming place to sit and take coffee and watch the world. There are a great many excellent restaurants in Ayamonte - try Noosh, a Lebanese restaurant, for a change. Also from Ayamonte you can take the 10 minute ferry to Portugal, where you can stock up on inexpensive linens in Vila Real da Santo Antonio just across the river.
In the Marina you will also find some good restaurants. My favourite bar for a quiet drink is Bar Neptuno. To eat, the Chiringuito Antonio V is typically Spanish, while Sugar Reef and the Outback Inn offer a more varied cuisine.
Walking distance from the apartment is the little fishing village of Punta del Moral, where you can find excellent tapas and some great fish dishes while you watch the fishermen unloading their catch.
If you fancy a bit of culture you can take a tour to beautiful and historic Seville, or for a little more excitement, a thrilling boat ride up the Guadiana River.
For golfers there is a par 72 18 hole course five minutes away by car. In addition there are 6 or 7 other great courses all well within an hour's drive.
