WHY THIS PARADOR

Why stay here?

A bright Mediterranean Parador on the coast below Mojácar’s white hill town, built for sea views, beach time and a slower eastern-Andalusia finish.

Why it stands out

It pairs one of eastern Andalusia’s iconic white towns with a straightforward Mediterranean resort stay.

How long to stay

Two nights is a good minimum if you want the old town and coast to feel like a destination rather than a transit stop.

Best route role

Use Mojácar as the eastern coastal extension of an Andalusia journey or as the bridge toward Murcia.

THE BUILDING & HISTORY

A modern Parador shaped by the Mediterranean

Mojácar is a modern coastal property rather than a heritage conversion. Balconies, light-filled rooms and outdoor spaces are designed around the sea and climate.

The historic experience is found uphill in Mojácar Pueblo, while the Parador itself provides the beach-focused counterpoint.

SETTING & LOCATION

Between Mojácar Pueblo and the sea

The property sits on the Mediterranean coast below the white hill town, giving travelers easy access to both beach time and Mojácar’s old streets and viewpoints.

ABOUT THE PARADOR

More about the stay

The hotel lies on the coast of Mojácar and enjoys one of the best microclimates in Spain, offering gorgeous views of the blue Mediterranean.
Warm colours, the comfortable and cosy atmosphere of its rooms and improved exteriors in all respects beckon you to visit.

Your stay can be rounded off with a refreshing dip in the hotel pool or working in the well-equipped rooms of the magnificent conference centre.

Bright rooms, all with balconies, invite guests to succumb to the enchanting beauty of the surrounding area.
 

WHO THIS SUITS

Is Mojacar right for your trip?

THE REGION

Place this Parador in Andalusia

Andalusia is one of the richest regions for building a multi-Parador route. Granada, Córdoba, Jaén, Úbeda, Carmona and Ronda connect monumental cities with hilltop fortresses, while coastal Paradores add a different rhythm along the Mediterranean and Atlantic.
