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 for mountains, nature, hiking, culture, sun, adventure, and travels to distant places, we found our pearl here at the foot of the Maroma.
For several years, we had been toying with the idea of starting a B&B abroad, simply because we wanted to give our lives a new twist. After getting to know Andalusia and discovering, during several subsequent holidays, the many beautiful things this region has to offer; culture, varied nature, mountains, and a pleasant winter climate, the choice for where that dream B&B should be was not difficult. After the corona period, we felt it was time to stop fantasizing and actually make it happen. A year and about twenty viewings later, El Refugio crossed our path, and we were captivated by the magnificent view and location in the middle of nature, yet close to Spanish daily life.
On the last day of 2022, it was finally time. With the keys in hand, we closed the door on the year and our life in the Netherlands. And on January 1, 2023, our new adventure began here in El Refugio, our pearl in the mountains.
Who are we...
Ria (Adriana) was born and raised in Berghem, Brabant, and grew up with music. She turned her hobby - playing the clarinet - into her profession. In addition to performing a lot herself, she passed on her passion for music to her clarinet students, and for the past 7 years, she also taught music in primary education. Here in Spain, music remains a beloved companion, but as a hobby. With a love for greenery, she takes care of the garden, while in the guest rooms, she oversees every detail, ensuring guests lack for nothing.
Jan Theun comes from the Frisian Burgum, studied business economics in Groningen and then worked in many places as an independent (project) controller. After an adventurous internship in Paris (1992), a world trip in 2002-2003, he now felt it was time for a new international adventure together with his 'habibi' Adriana.
Together, we enjoy creating a place where people can truly unwind, with a relaxed atmosphere, personal attention, comfort, and a warm welcome at the forefront of our minds.
We hope to welcome you with open arms in our B&B soon.
The door is open for you, see you soon!
See you soon!
