Alojamientos Rurales Benarum con Spa

Cannot rate this place enough, Antonio and Rosario are so lovely and the facilities are amazing. Stunning mountain views and the spa was really nice. Felt like being at home. I didn't want to leave!

The hotel is a little gem hidden away in the Sierra Nevada mountains. The owners of the hotel are masters of their field who have perfected the balance between making you feel welcome and cared for without imposing. Comfortable bed, stunning views, and a charming underground spa with everything you need to unwind and relax after walking the route called Las Acequias de Mecina Bomberon, which begins a few meters from the door of the hotel. It takes around 3.5 hrs if you do the full circular route. Don´t miss it- it´s spectacular! It follows the water all the way round, and just keeps on giving! There are 2 little bars in the village that are lovely to have a cold beer overlooking the mountain range, but the food isn´t winning a Michelin star anytime soon.... so I recommend going to the town next door to eat, or bring food with you to cook in the apartment, there´s a little shop but it´s limited and very expensive. Can´t recommend this place enough, if you´re a nature lover looking to disconnect then there´s no better place!

The sound of the stars at night were deafening! ;-)

It is located in the Sierra Nevada and has great views. I went to relax and recharge my batteries, which I did. The beautiful spa was wonderful and had a massage there as well. I left refreshed and rejuvenated. I had a wonderful friendly welcome from Antonio and his wife. Parking was just outside the front door and there was a smart tv so could easily watch Netflix/YouTube/Spanish TV. They are goodI walks locally to enjoy the scenery. thoroughly recommend this spa hotel.

That I didn’t have time to stay longer.

We were seeking a place away from the touristy hustle and bustle, where we could enjoy living as part of a village community while enjoying the natural landscape of the area. Our other consideration was that we were looking for a long stay for close to 3 months over the summer period so the accommodation needed to be able to cater for this too. We were not disappointed at all, the apartment was more than adequate for our needs. The village itself is in the national park and the wider area is very beautiful, with most day to day facilities either within the village itself or wider choices being a 15-20 minute drive. Granada or the coast are also easily accessible via the good network of roads. We have to mention the owners Antonio and Rosario who went above and beyond to make our stay so enjoyable and welcoming and received us almost as family members!

The whole area, wonderful scenery.

Had to drive in the evening to find somewhere to eat.

The warm welcome was incredible. You feel at home immediately! In the room, or rather the apartment, you'll find information about the area, such as hikes and activities. And the area is beautiful indeed, which you'll realise straight away with the amazing view from the window. If you love nature and hiking, this place is for you! We also enjoyed the sauna area, which is open from 6 to 8 pm and you can enjoy for 10 euros pp.

The only restaurant in town was not open during our stay, but you can get some food at the local bar. All people we met were amazing and super friendly. If you're looking for a proper meal, make sure to visit the supermaket across the street in time so you can cook in the apartment. The kitchen is well equiped with pots and pans, but lacks basics such as oil, salt, pepper, coffee, tea.
