Playa Del Cura holidays

A cliffside decorated with perched buildings looks down on the bronze sands of pretty Playa del Cura. Small and quiet, you’ll find low-key and drama-free is the name of the game here. Dark sands and pebbles really captivate along the water, but inland you’ll find a small selection of bars and restaurants. There’s a lovely promenade that runs parallel to the beach – perfect for seafront walks, sipping a cool drink at a terrace café or enjoying fresh seafood paella as the sun sets. There’s always a spot to soak in the view.
