Ardea Purpurea Hotel Lodge & Restaurant

Nestled within the Doñana Natural Park, Ardea Purpurea Hotel Lodge & Restaurant sits amid a Mediterranean forest in the Villamanrique area, surrounded by nature. It’s just 3 kilometers from the Vado del Quema River, a 5-minute drive from Villamanrique de la Condesa, around 18 kilometers from the village of El Rocío, about 30 kilometers from Matalascañas beach, and roughly 35 kilometers from Seville. Opened in 2010, this charming family-friendly property takes design cues from the area’s traditional marsh huts. It offers 17 accommodation units with elegant, refined decor, set on a 9-hectare estate featuring expansive outdoor recreation spaces, a main building, a restaurant, a terrace, a garden with a swimming pool area, and private covered parking. All areas are wheelchair accessible.

Rooms at Ardea Purpurea come with a terrace overlooking the lake and forest. Each includes a flat-screen TV, complimentary Wi-Fi, a safe, and air conditioning, while bungalows also provide an open-plan kitchen and living room.

On-site, guests can enjoy a bar/café and a restaurant serving Mediterranean cuisine. Conference facilities and wireless internet access are available. For exploring, electric buggies can be rented for free roaming, or you can arrange horseback rides or horse-drawn carriage tours nearby.

Guests must coordinate their arrival time with the accommodation, as check-in after 10:00 PM is not assured. There’s no 24-hour reception, so please contact Ardea Purpurea Hotel Lodge & Restaurant in advance to set your arrival schedule.
