Just behind the dunes of Salinas beach, this relaxed 11-room boutique ‘hostel’ is owned by a group of bohemian island-dwellers, including Space DJ David Phillips. With private terraces from which you can access the beach, the rooms’ ensuites are stocked with the owners’ own brand skincare products using the nature reserve’s famous salt. Plus, with David’s record collection on hand and a regular crew of pre-set DJs hanging about, afternoons in the lounge bar are the perfect way to gear up for the night ahead. No private pool but where else can you hit the management up for cheeky guest-list arrangements?

Top Tip:
Ask for a room in the rear of the hotel for views over the hills – some of the front-facing ones face onto the road.
