Nerja All Inclusive Holidays: Where to Stay and When to Go

An all inclusive board basis generally bundles your meals, usually buffet breakfast, lunch and dinner, with local drinks such as house wine, beer and soft drinks, plus snacks between meals. Imported spirits, premium brands and à la carte restaurants are often charged separately, so it is worth reading what each offer includes before you book.

In Nerja the appeal is that you can keep the bill predictable at the hotel and still spend your days out. The Balcón de Europa viewpoint and the town beaches are within about a mile, so an all inclusive stay here sits comfortably alongside evenings wandering the centre or a day trip to Frigiliana.

Nerja itself is the place to look for nerja hotels all inclusive, because it is the larger town of the two and the one with the coastline. Beaches such as Playa de Burriana, Playa de la Torrecilla, El Playazo and Playa El Salón are all within a mile or so of the centre, and further east Playa de Maro and La Caleta de Maro are around 2 to 3 miles out, with Playa de las Alberquillas about 4 miles away. A beach-facing base makes the most of a summer week.

Frigiliana, about 3 miles away with roughly 2,560 residents, is a small village with the Castillo de Frigiliana and the Palacio de los Condes de Frigiliana rather than a resort strip. It works better as an outing than a base for a big resort-style stay, and it is the gateway to the Sierras de Tejeda, Almijara y Alhama Natural Park, around 6 miles from Nerja.

July and August are the hottest months, averaging 33°C and 32°C, with barely any rain: July sees around one rainy day. That suits travellers who plan to spend most of the day by the pool and on the beach, though the heat is strong for walking.

April, May, June, September and November are the sweet spot, with highs between 22°C and 28°C. November is notably dry, averaging a single rainy day. March and October are the wettest months, with October bringing around ten rainy days, while winter highs hold at about 18°C, which is mild for a quieter break.
