The new hotel in Matalascañas will make you feel like you're in Malibu: it has a water park, a pink pool, and a train to the beach.

If you're looking for a unique holiday destination, packed with amenities and with that sophisticated air one usually imagines on Californian beaches, Matalascañas has just opened its most ambitious tourist gem : the new ON City Resort All Inclusive Prime , a macro hotel complex that promises to revolutionize the concept of family vacations on the Costa de la Luz.
This new resort is not only the largest in the entire province of Huelva—and also in Cádiz—but it has also arrived with a style reminiscent of a small resort town: low-rise houses, private streets, a tourist train that takes you to the beach, and a wave pool … pink! Yes, that's right. Everything is designed to make you feel like you're in a postcard from Malibu, but without leaving Andalusia.
With over 70,000 square meters of surface area, 568 rooms, and a capacity for approximately 1,800 guests , this hotel is much more than just a place to sleep. It's a space designed to ensure you'll want for nothing: from the late breakfast to evening activities, including the water park, the spa, and the children's areas.
The ON City Resort is committed to a premium all-inclusive model , which means guests enjoy a varied culinary offering, top-brand beverages, entertainment for all ages, and access to top-notch facilities. One of its strong points? Direct, free access to its spectacular water park , which is already emerging as one of the summer's top tourist attractions.
Among the many elements that have generated excitement, one attraction stands out: the Tsunami Pink wave pool , a huge pink pool that has gone viral on social media. Designed for both adults and children, this facility not only offers fun but also that Instagrammable touch so popular with those looking to share their vacations.
And that's not all. Slides, inflatables, more than 900 hammocks, relaxation areas, and food trucks complete the resort's aquatic offerings. All without even having to leave the complex, making the experience comfortable, safe, and truly complete for families and groups.
Another of the ON City Resort's great attractions is its privileged location. It's just a 10-minute walk from the beach , on one of the widest stretches of beach in Matalascañas, and a short distance from Doñana National Park .
This location makes the resort an ideal starting point for both enjoying the sea and exploring the area. The complex also has a tourist train that connects directly to the beach, offering a convenient and fun way to travel with children or the elderly.
What strikes you most when touring the ON City Resort is its urban design. Far from the classic vertical hotel building, this complex is structured like a small town: low-rise houses spread over nine streets, plazas, gardens, restaurants, bars, and entertainment areas. A kind of carefully thought-out "mini-city," where every corner has something to offer.
In fact, its commercial director, Carlos Navas, has described the complex as a "little California in the heart of Huelva," and he's right. The goal is clear: to offer a different, modern, and immersive experience. Something reminiscent of those great Caribbean resorts, but with an Andalusian essence and family spirit.
The all-inclusive package not only covers dining —with a buffet available until midday, snacks at various locations throughout the resort, and top-brand beverages—but also a daily activities program, live shows, children's and youth entertainment, and services such as free bicycles for getting around the resort.
The resort also offers a mini-club, themed areas, and age-appropriate shows for children. For adults, there's a spa, gym, beach club, and chill-out areas where you can enjoy a cocktail at sunset.
Although this is a high-end resort, its prices are especially reasonable this summer. Depending on the season and room type, a four-night stay (the minimum required) can cost around €980 for two adults in July, or around €1,050 if traveling with a child.
In August, prices rise slightly —as is typical during high season. For example, a family with two adults, one child, and a baby can stay for around €3,500 per week, with access to all facilities and full board.
Carlos Navas has assured that these prices are part of a promotional launch strategy that will not be repeated in subsequent years. "This is the time to get to know the resort , because as its reputation grows, so will its rates," he explains.
The opening of the ON City Resort has been celebrated by both developers and local authorities. The Almonte City Council has described it as "the largest expansion of the hotel offering in Matalascañas in decades," highlighting its impact on job creation and the revitalization of the local economy.
More than 400 people have worked directly or indirectly on the complex's launch, many of them from Almonte and nearby towns. For the ON Hotels chain, this resort marks a new milestone following the success of its Ocean Front (adults only) resort, also in Matalascañas.
The ON City Resort is here to put Matalascañas on the map of high-end family tourism. And it's done so with a unique, visually stunning, and well-thought-out proposal for both adults and children to enjoy. So if you were looking for a place that combines good weather, multiple amenities, and that "movie-like" feel, you might not have to cross the Atlantic to experience it. Matalascañas has put on its pink swimsuit... and is ready to welcome you.
