Charming B&B with perhaps the most beautiful view over the Axarquía
Twee kilometer voorbij het dorp Alcaucín ten noordoosten Málaga, houdt de weg op en waan je je aan het einde van de bewoonde wereld. Op deze unieke locatie , aan de voet van de Maroma – de hoogste berg van de provincie Málaga – biedt Boutique B&B El Refugio een ideale combinatie van rust, natuur en luxe, perfect voor wie wil ontsnappen aan de drukte van het dagelijks leven.
El Refugio is a small-scale adults-only B&B and offers 4 atmospheric rooms with private entrance, of which two comfort rooms and two spacious suites. All rooms, with an en-suite bathroom, are modern and furnished with attention to detail and are equipped with all the facilities you need during your stay.
Bij El Refugio vier je vakantie in je eigen ritme. Begin je dag met een vers ontbijt (met o.a. huisgemaakte producten) op de patio met je blik op het oneindige uitzicht, geniet van tapas of een lichte lunch bij het zwembad en ontdek lokale smaken. Wij verwennen onze gasten regelmatig met een heerlijk 3-gangen diner waar je bij kunt aanschuiven. En de honestybar is altijd beschikbaar voor dat heerlijke verkoelende drankje. Ook in het dorp op 5 minuten rijden en in de nabije omgeving zijn er tal van restaurants, van de typisch Spaanse keuken tot de Indiase keuken, er is veel afwisseling. Wij geven je graag een aantal leuke tips.
Many walks , including ‘El Saltillo’ with its spectacular suspension bridge (also known as the little brother of the ‘Caminito del Rey’) are located in the immediate vicinity. Or cycle with the electric mountain bike directly from El Refugio into the Sierra de Tejeda nature park and enjoy the beautiful panoramic views.
But do you just want to do nothing for a while? The beautiful and spacious garden with swimming pool is the perfect place to relax. Everything here revolves around unwinding and enjoying nature. Look around you and dream away at the stunning views of the mountains, Lake Viñuela and the olive trees. Or relax in the hammock, listen to the soft rustling of a cooling breeze and hear the birds in the background.
In the vicinity are authentic white villages such as Canillas de Aceituno, Comares, Nerja, Frigiliana and Mijas. For a cultural excursion, several royal cities such as Málaga and Granada (or even Córdoba) are within easy reach for a day trip full of history and charm.

Let's get acquainted
After a life in the Netherlands filled with music and a love of mountains, nature, hiking, culture, sun, adventure, and travel to faraway places, we found our pearl here at the foot of the Maroma.
For several years, we'd been toying with the idea of opening a B&B abroad, somewhere pleasant to stay even in winter. After exploring Andalusia, we discovered the region's wealth of beauty during several subsequent holidays. Choosing the perfect location for our dream B&B wasn't difficult. After the coronavirus pandemic, the time was ripe to not only continue fantasizing but also put it into action. A year and twenty or so viewings later, we stumbled upon El Refugio, and we were captivated by its magnificent views and location, surrounded by nature yet close to everyday Spanish life.
On the last day of 2022 the time had finally come and so on January 1, 2023 our new adventure began here in El Refugio, our pearl on the mountain.
Who are we....
Ria (Adriana) was born and raised in Berghem, Brabant, and grew up surrounded by music. She turned her hobby—playing the clarinet—into her profession. Besides playing music herself, she passed on her passion for music to her clarinet students, and for the past seven years, she has also taught music in primary schools. Here in Spain, music remains a beloved companion, albeit a hobby. With a love of greenery, she tends the garden, while overseeing every detail in the guest rooms, ensuring guests have everything they need.
Jan Theun, originally from Burgum in Friesland, studied business economics in Groningen and then worked as an independent (project) controller in various positions. After an adventurous internship in Paris (1992) and a world trip in 2002-2003, he felt it was time for a new international adventure with his "habibi" Adriana.
Together we enjoy creating a place where people can truly unwind - a relaxed atmosphere, personal attention, comfort, and a welcoming feeling are central to us.
We hope to welcome you with open arms to our B&B soon.
The door is open for you - see you soon!
