Véjer de la Frontera, Cadiz, Spain

Leave the kids at home and have an Andalusian affair at Hotel V, a new boutique hotel in the hillside village of Véjer de la Frontera on Southern Spain's Costa de la Luz, overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. Formerly a private residence dating back to the 1600s, the Moorish townhouse was restored and reopened in 2008 as a stylish, intimate getaway with just 12 rooms.

Like its whitewashed Pueblo Blanco exterior, the hotel's interiors are mostly minimalist, but accented with antiques, crafts and photography collected by the owner, and the light-filled guestrooms have Wi-Fi, heated floors and spacious contemporary bathrooms. By day you can stroll the narrow streets of the old town, sunbathe on Playa del Palmar, or partake in kitesurfing at nearby Tarifa Bay. The concierge can arrange spa services, golf outings and day-trips to Morocco, but be sure to return to Hotel V by sunset, when you can enjoy tapas and wine on its rooftop terrace, which has a Jacuzzi and phenomenal views—you can even see Morocco off in the distance!
