These values will enable us to manage tourist flows effectively to maintain the area’s appeal all year round,” summarises Manuel García.
El Cabo Singular, a model that transcends the traditional concept of tourism
El Cabo Singular is the first and largest hotel brand by number of beds with an exclusive presence in the Cabo de Gata Natural Park. Under a single brand identity, the project brings together a collection of seven unique establishments – three high-end hotels, a luxury villa and three restaurants – spread across various locations within the park. All of them transcend the traditional concept of accommodation to become a haven for a form of tourism that is understated, sophisticated and connected to nature.
El Cabo Singular is shaping a new way of understanding tourism in the Cabo de Gata Natural Park, integrating hospitality, the local area and the visitor experience, to promote the Cabo de Gata Natural Park as a destination that comes alive 365 days a year.
The El Cabo Singular collection is perfectly integrated into its surroundings and is designed to offer a wide range of experiences that reflect a sustainable and community-focused model centred on nature, gastronomy, health and wellbeing, sport and the distinctive culture of Cabo de Gata.
The project promotes a responsible model that helps to boost and deseasonalise activity in the area, with the aim of revitalising the economy outside the summer season, whilst always preserving the natural environment of the Cabo de Gata-Níjar Natural Park.
El Cabo Singular’s offering comprises seven venues, including 175 accommodation places – spread across Villa Singular by El Cabo Singular, Hotel MC San José by El Cabo Singular, La Joya de Aguamarga by El Cabo Singular and Finca Maltés by El Cabo Singular – 200 dining places, notably including those at the new San José Sky Bar, and more than 500 places for events.
