Hotels in Lanjarón

Town entrance and the spa

The spa is at the entrance to Lanjarón as you arrive from Granada, beside the Alpujarra road. If you are coming for treatments or a few days taking the waters, staying in this part keeps everything close and saves driving up and down. It is a quiet area, popular with people on rest and wellness breaks.

The village centre is a short walk away along the main avenue.

Avenida de la Alpujarra and the centre

Lanjarón stretches along its main street, with fountains, shops selling cured meats and honey, bars and restaurants. Many houses are tall and narrow, with rooms looking over the valley or the mountains. Staying here puts you in the middle of village life and suits anyone who wants to go out to dinner without a car. The upper streets have views over the valley, and down towards the river stands the Moorish castle on an isolated hill.

Best-rated in this area: Hotel Alcadima, with a score of 8.7 from 1,368 reviews.

Cáñar and the Sierra Nevada slopes

On the hillside between Lanjarón and Órgiva, Cáñar is a small village of white houses and narrow Alpujarra-style streets clinging to the slope. There are rural cottages with terraces and plenty of silence, ideal for hikers who want to start the mountain trails from the doorstep. The road up is narrow and winding, so take it easy if you drive at night.

Órgiva

A few kilometres east, Órgiva is the largest town in the western Alpujarra, with more shops, services and places to stay. It works well as a base for heading up to the villages of the Poqueira gorge, such as Pampaneira, Bubión and Capileira. From here you can drive back to Lanjarón whenever you want to visit the spa. It is the choice for anyone seeing the Alpujarra over several days who wants more going on than in a small village.
