Why stay here?
A modern Mediterranean Parador between the sea and Albufera, best known for golf, open coastal landscape and easy access to Valencia.
Why it stands out
El Saler is the Atlas choice for travelers who want Valencia access but would rather wake up to coast, golf and open landscape than city streets.
How long to stay
Two nights works well if Valencia is part of the plan; longer stays make sense for golfers or travelers deliberately building in downtime.
Best route role
Use El Saler as the central stop on a Mediterranean route between Benicarló and Jávea.
A modern Parador built around landscape and golf
El Saler is not a heritage conversion. Its identity comes from a modern design set within the protected coastal landscape south of Valencia and from its long-established golf course.
Glass, open views and contemporary facilities make the building deliberately secondary to the dunes, Mediterranean, Albufera and fairways outside.
Between Valencia, the beach and Albufera
The Parador sits south of Valencia beside the Mediterranean and near the Albufera lagoon. That creates an unusual combination: city access, beach, natural landscape and one of Spain’s best-known golf settings without staying in central Valencia.
More about the stay
A must for golf lovers thanks to the 18-hole golf course, the Hotel is seen as one of the best in the world. The large comfortable rooms – some with sea views – are an invite to relaxation. Located on the coast, there is also a fantastic SPA to relax, an outdoor pool and a grass football pitch.
The completely renovated and new plan building strictly respects the natural setting with its grand glass-dominated structure bringing guests closer to La Albufera Nature Reserve from all indoor spaces. The lower floor houses a modern conference and events room – the ‘Vela Latina’ – with a maximum 400 pax capacity that may be split into 5 spaces. This means it may be tailored to suit any requirement.
The Golf Course
The Parador de El Saler (Valencia) Golf course is considered by professionals, amateurs, institutions and the specialized press alike to have one of the best course layouts in the world.
Built in 1968 by the internationally recognized "architect of Spanish golf," Javier Arana, the course is located in the El Saler Nature Reserve, on the shores of the Mediterranean sea in the Autonomous Community of Valencia. This Community is a leader with respect to economic development in Spain, and considers this course a source of pride.
Is El Saler right for your trip?
Golfers and travelers who value resort-style facilities within reach of Valencia.
Visitors who want a quieter base near the city rather than sleeping in the urban center.
Mediterranean road-trippers combining beach time with a longer Catalonia-to-Valencia route.
Place this Parador in Valencian Community
The Valencian Community gives the Atlas a distinctly Mediterranean character, with coastal Paradores that pair well with city stays, beach time and a longer route south toward Murcia and Andalusia.

Planning a stay at Parador de El Saler
Is the Parador de El Saler in Valencia city?
No. It is south of the city near the Mediterranean and Albufera, making it a quieter coastal base with access to Valencia.
Is El Saler mainly for golfers?
Golf is a major draw, but the beach, Albufera landscape, spa and access to Valencia also make it useful for non-golfers.
How many nights should I stay at El Saler?
Two nights is a good starting point if you want both Valencia and the coastal setting; golfers may want longer.
Does Parador de El Saler fit into a Parador road trip?
Yes. Paradores Atlas currently connects this property with Mediterranean Road: Catalonia to Valencia. Use the Journey page for the suggested stop order, pacing and alternatives.
