Modern hotel overlooking the Mediterranean (4*)
The Parador in Nerja is one of the few modern-style properties but it still packs an impressive punch with its enviable location and superb views. The building takes the form of an ‘L-shape’ comprising the original construction as well as a more contemporary section, all designed to ensure rooms enjoy either garden or sea views. The extensive and well-tended gardens of the Parador de Nerja overlook the sea and contain a large seasonal outdoor pool. This delightful setting provides an absolutely ideal location for cooling off in the height of summer and is just generally perfect for those wanting to relax.
Guests staying here can bask in the sunshine whilst enjoying the spectacular views, which span over and across the cliff tops capturing the beautiful scenery and coastal landscapes below. This Parador also has its own private lift giving access to the beach immediately below. All the very comfortable bedrooms have spacious balconies or patios with garden and sea views. The Parador's restaurant has a wonderful terrace overlooking the garden and sea, so you can enjoy breakfast in the sunshine or a dinner with fantastic views.
Keytours Tips:
The highly regarded modern Parador de Nerja stands in the midst of green cliff-top gardens above the golden beaches and azure sea of the Costa Tropical, about 60 km to the east of Málaga. The coast around Nerja, with its coves and sandy beaches nestling beneath cliffs, is a paradise for lovers of sun and sea, and the area is particularly popular with scuba divers. With the dramatic mountains of the Sierra de Almijara rising behind the coast, Nerja is also proving a popular centre for walkers, while the Nerja Caves, with their prehistoric paintings and spectacular rock formations (including the world's largest known stalactite), are one of the most visited sites in Spain. Many Spaniards choose Nerja (and the Parador) for their summer holidays, and it’s a short stroll from the hotel to the centre of this attractive little town which still retains the authentic Andalusian feel. In the town's centre you will find a selection of cafes, bars and restaurants (many offering excellent fish and seafood) as well as shopping streets. The 'Balcon de Europa' is one of Nerja's gems offering spectacular views of the open sea.
If you plan a longer stay in Nerja, you are well situated to enjoy day visits to surrounding areas such as the cities of Granada and Málaga (which can be accessed by bus or car) and the white villages of the Alpujarras in the Sierra Nevada
The Parador is scheduled to close between 19th October 2025 to 1st October 2027 for renovations.
