Where to Stay
Recommendations for accommodation near the venue.
Sol Rent Golf - Arcos Gardens Villas
Managed villas within the Arcos Gardens Golf Club complex. This is where Annabelle's family's Spanish house is, making it incredibly convenient (a 30-second drive or 5-minute walk to Faín Viejo). A very good option, especially as we know the management and may be able to arrange group rates depending on interest.

Hotel Mesón De la Molinera
A charming hotel situated on the lakefront in Arcos, offering lovely views. It's very close to the wedding venue, making it a practical and scenic choice.

Parador de Arcos de la Frontera
Boasts arguably the best location within the historic old town of Arcos, with stunning views from the cliff edge. However, being in the town centre means it's slightly further from the venue (Faín Viejo is just outside town) and requires driving.

Airport to Destination
Jerez Airport (XRY)
Distance: ~35-40 minutes drive
Sadly, Jerez, the closest airport, used to be well-served by Ryanair from the UK, but for the past 12 months (as of May 2025), these routes haven't been operating. There are reports flights might resume, but for now, Seville is the safer bet for booking flights from the UK.
Seville Airport (SVQ)
Distance: ~1 hour 15 minutes drive
This is a very straightforward drive. You follow the main motorway (toll road AP-4 or free A-4/E-5) south towards Jerez/Cádiz for about an hour before taking the exit for Arcos de la Frontera. Our recommended airport.
Malaga Airport (AGP)
Distance: ~1 hour 45 minutes - 2 hours 15 minutes drive
Malaga is a major international airport with many flight options. However, it's the furthest of the three main options. The drive takes you along the coast past Marbella before heading inland towards Arcos. Consider this if you find significantly better flights or plan to spend time on the Costa del Sol.
Car Rental
Renting a car is highly recommended. Public transport options to the venue and surrounding areas are very limited. A car provides the freedom to explore Arcos and the beautiful Andalusian countryside.
All major rental companies operate from Jerez and Seville airports. Consider checking local providers like Goldcar or using Spanish comparison websites (e.g., kayak.es, doyouspain.com) as you can often find good deals, with €15 per day being the standard depending on the season and car type.
