Melilla · Spain · 2 August 2027
Four minutes and thirty-four seconds beneath the Moon’s shadow, on a stretch of Mediterranean coast most travellers have never considered. Private hospitality, curated stays and exclusive viewing — arranged entirely around you.
The proposition
Travel, accommodation, transfers, dining, culture, viewing position and the hours either side of totality. One point of contact, one plan, one arrival. From the moment you land or dock, nothing is left for you to organise.
Until totality
Totality is happening now
Eye protection may be removed only while the Sun is completely covered.
The shadow has passed
The total solar eclipse of 2 August 2027 has taken place. Thank you to everyone who joined us in Melilla.
Counting to 10:48 CEST on 2 August 2027, the moment totality begins over Melilla.
The event
On 2 August 2027 the Moon’s umbra crosses the Strait of Gibraltar and sweeps east along the North African coast. Melilla sits inside the band of totality, and holds it for longer than almost anywhere else in Spain.

Durations for Spanish cities inside the band of totality. Ceuta records the longest; Melilla is a close second, and combines its duration with an island-like sense of separation from the crowds expected on the mainland coast.
Timings, duration and solar altitude for Melilla are taken from the Instituto Geográfico Nacional, the official Spanish authority for eclipse predictions. We publish their figures unmodified.
The rarest option
Leave the coastline behind and meet the shadow from open water. A privately chartered vessel, a position chosen in advance, and an uninterrupted horizon in every direction.
Experiences
Each is a starting point rather than a fixed package. Every element can be added, removed or rebuilt around your group.
Couples, families and private groups
A complete stay built around two to a dozen guests: premium rooms, private transfers, a reserved viewing position, dining arranged nightly, and a concierge who knows your itinerary before you do.
Travellers expecting the highest level of personal service
The private programme with a dedicated host attached to your party for the duration, top-category accommodation, exclusive-use venues where they can be secured, and a photographer to record the morning.
Clients, partners, executives, boards and incentive groups
Group logistics handled as an event rather than a booking: arrivals coordinated across flights and ferries, accommodation blocks, branded hospitality, private venues and a production team on the ground.
Anyone whose plans do not fit the above
No standard package required. Tell us the shape of the trip — the guests, the constraints, the occasion — and we will build it from nothing.
Enquiry
Six short sections. Nothing here commits you to anything, and we will not add you to a mailing list.
A member of the team will reply personally, in writing, usually within one business day. If your dates are tight or your group is large, say so in a reply and we will move faster.
