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.
