Cortijo Los Malenos, Níjar

Located within the Cabo de Gata nature park, this typical rural hotel provides a charming and peaceful setting for your relaxing break in the sun.

Los Malenos is surrounded by an estate of over 70,000 m² of tranquil Andalusian countryside. Its whitewashed buildings are all built in the traditional style, designed to protect them from the heat and wind. Cool yourself off from the warm southern sunshine with a dip in the hotel’s outdoor swimming pool.

All rooms are built around 3 courtyards with fountains, giving you a taste of traditional Spain. Each one opens onto a terrace, and features central heating powered by solar panels.

The Los Malenos estate is found just outside the village of Agua Amarga, just 4 km from the Mediterranean Sea.

Hire bicycles from the hotel to explore the stunning local landscape. Research your journey beforehand using the books in the property’s library.

More relaxing activities can be found back at Los Malenos, where you can indulge in a massage before diving into the pool. Children can make friends with the donkeys that graze on the estate.
