The best place to stay in Malaga. The views are fabulous, the rooms comfortable and spacious and we love our little balcony. Hotel staff are lovely but a couple of the staff in the cafe could be a bit more friendly. A minor point and we will be stsying here again for sure.

This is our third (but not final) visit. We love the views from this parador. Sitting on the small balcony overlooking the town and the port is magic, especially at night. The rooms are large and well appointed, ditto bathrooms. Reception staff are particularly welcoming and helpful. We enjoy the pool too. It's really convenient for the castle and alcazaba and a pleasant walk down the pedestrian path to town (take a taxi back up!). We had an enjoyable meal in the restaurant too. Service at the cafe can be brusque to the point of rudeness, but it's a nice place to sit with a cold drink.

Great view from the balcony and bar / restaurant- only downside being that it is a little isolated with few bar and restaurant options in easy walking distance. Plus side- their restaurant was very good and the pool a bonus on a hot day.

Breathtaking Views and Thoughtful Hospitality

Our stay at Parador de Málaga Gibralfaro was truly memorable. Perched high above the city, the panoramic views over Málaga and the coast are simply stunning. The service was excellent, with thoughtful touches that stood out — like the picnic bags prepared for our early departure when we couldn’t have breakfast. We also loved the peaceful atmosphere around the pool, which made for a relaxing and scenic experience. A perfect spot for a quiet, elevated getaway.

Room with a view

Fabulous hotel overlooking Malaga we stayed for just two nights but everything was great. Lovely big room with a balcony overlooking the bull ring and out to sea. Breakfast was good, with both cooked to order items and a buffet with traditional Spanish pastries, meats and cheeses. We walked down into the town each day but caught a taxi back each day (10euro)to avoid the steep hill in the heat.
