San Jose Hotel

On Spain’s raw Cabo de Gata–Níjar coast, in the village of San José. This coastal hostal sits just steps from the sand—about 50–100 m from the beach—and a short stroll to the marina. Public transport is roughly a 5-minute walk and the A-7 motorway is about 20 km away.

A small, unpretentious guesthouse with 15 units (7 doubles and 8 apartments). Rooms are air-conditioned with tiled floors, TVs, private balconies and en‑suite bath or shower; hairdryers provided. Some apartments have fully equipped kitchens on request. There’s a 24-hour reception and a relaxed TV lounge.

Tour desk and on-site recreation include table tennis and easy access to beach volleyball. Water sports can be booked for a fee—diving, snorkelling, surfing, windsurfing, sailing, motorboating and canoeing. Horse riding and mountain biking are popular nearby (fees apply). The nearest golf course is about a 20-minute walk and limited free parking is available. Expect sea-breeze mornings and direct beach access.

The nearby marina hosts a range of bars and restaurants serving fresh seafood and Andalusian flavours. Apartment guests can also self-cater in fully equipped kitchens when requested.
