On the outskirts of Nerja, on the road towards Maro, there’s a place many people don’t even realize they can visit: Villa del Mar.


It’s located inside a campsite, but the good part is simple. You don’t have to stay there to enjoy it.

Why go?


They have a heated swimming pool, which makes it a great option when the sea and most pools still feel too cold. It’s one of those easy, relaxed spots where you might plan a short visit and end up staying all day.

Next to the pool there’s a restaurant and bar area, so you can order for example drinks, tapas and lunch without going anywhere else. The atmosphere is laid-back and social, nothing too polished, just easy to enjoy.



Open to everyone


Even though it’s part of a camping area, anyone can come in for the pool or the restaurant. It’s a nice alternative if you feel like a break from the beach.

Prices

  • 5 € for a swim

  • 10 € for a sunbed and swim

  • 35 € for a Bali bed

More than just a pool day


There’s quite a lot happening here during the week. They often have live music, which brings a really nice atmosphere in the evenings.


They also run themed days:

  • Burger Monday

  • Tapas Tuesday

  • Wing Wednesday

  • Free (drink with pizza) Thursday

  • Fish Friday

  • Rib Saturday

  • Boozie Brunch Party on Sundays

You can also organise your own events here, from birthdays to more casual gatherings.

Good to know

They open every day at 10:00. During spring, including May, they are open until 21:00, and as the season goes on the closing time gets later. It works just as well for a morning swim as for a long afternoon that turns into dinner and music.


One of those places that’s not a secret, but still somehow feels like one.
