Where to Stay in Spain

Deciding where to stay in Spain is easy. The country boasts thousands of hotels, hostels, villas and apartments, catering for all tastes and budgets, meaning that whatever type of holiday you have planned - be it a two-week family break, a romantic weekend away, a stag or hen party or an extra leg on your backpacking tour - Spain has it, and more.

The more popular areas of the country such as Marbella, Madrid, Barcelona and Majorca have an abundance of high-end hotels and villas, including some of Europe's most spectacular five-star hotels, offering everything from tropical gardens, exclusive beach clubs, michelin-starred dining and a celebrity clientele. The beach resorts of Magaluf, Benidorm and Alicante have a varied selection of luxurious or affordable hotels - perfect for families and couples looking for a relaxing break in the sun.

Thanks to Spain's popularity as an overseas property destination, a number of well-located villas and apartments are available for short-term rent from private owners, which are often ideal for large groups of travellers such as stag and hen parties and golfers. Large student populations in Malaga, Segovia, Granada and Barcelona have led to a massive selection of comfortable and affordable hostel accommodation in these locations, while throughout the country, Spain's long-held traditions of catering for visitors ensures every town, village and pueblo has suitable and affordable accommodation for the holidaymaker.
