at the beach from 9 am until lunchtime so we invite guests to use our rooftop pool for
swimming during these hours.

B White Peaks is a five-star resort in the Sierra Nevada region of Spain and our
guests have access to some of the best ski slopes in Europe. Our gym, pool and
spa are open daily and we also offer guests the chance to learn traditional Spanish
dances. Our restaurant serves international cuisine cooked by some of the finest
chefs in Spain.

C Tides Resort has 12 individual apartments for rent and a peaceful private beach
for our customers only. The small town of Almayate is just a short walk from the
resort. Here visitors from all over the world can enjoy traditional dishes in friendly
local restaurants and watch authentic flamenco dancing.
