Before José Ignacio became José Ignacio, Posada del Faro was already here: it opened in 1991 with a handful of rooms, and today it's a fifteen-room boutique guesthouse a stone's throw from the bay, with a pool, a library and sea views from several corners. Breakfast is served from nine with no cut-off time, wherever you like: in the garden, by the pool or in your room. That relaxed spirit defines the whole house.

It's the choice for anyone who wants to sleep inside the village, walk out to the restaurants and the lighthouse, and come home to a place with history and a personal touch. They lend you bicycles and golf carts to get around, and it stays open all year — a rarity in such a seasonal beach town. Adults only, so the mood is pure calm. A classic that still delivers.
