Adults-only hostel in Nerja, with a shared pool, gardens, a communal kitchen and dormitories with a terrace, a short distance from beaches and the Balcón de Europa.

Room types

Be Happy Hostel offers beds in an eight-bed mixed dormitory; each bed is a bunk in a 29 m² dormitory. This is a shared option, not a private room: the bathroom is shared and has a shower. Air conditioning and soundproofing are complemented by a terrace, coffee machine and kitchenette.

The shared kitchen is equipped with a fridge, microwave, oven, hob, kettle, toaster and utensils, as well as a table and dining area. The terrace has furniture and an outdoor dining area. This means the accommodation combines dormitory-style lodging with facilities for preparing meals and relaxing away from the sleeping area. As both the room and bathroom are shared, it is suitable for anyone comfortable with communal spaces.

Location & what to see

Be Happy Hostel is on Calle Antonio Millón, in the centre of Nerja, in the Axarquía region of Málaga and beside the eastern coastline of the Costa del Sol. The area combines streets with local activity and access to urban beaches: Playa La Torrecilla is 380 m away, Playa El Chucho 510 m and Playa La Caletilla 550 m. Paseo Balcón de Europa is 560 m away; Nerja Museum is 450 m away and El Salvador Church is 470 m away.

Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport is 53 km away. The A-7 runs along the coast and connects Nerja with Málaga; intercity buses also run between the two towns. Nerja has no railway station, so the bus is an alternative for arriving without a car. In the centre, Bar Taperia La Rienda is 30 m away and Bar Los Pescaitos is 50 m away. The property has no parking, so if you drive, you will need to park elsewhere.

Nerja Museum, El Salvador Church and Plaza de España, 480 m away, let you combine history with a walk around the town centre. The Balcón de Europa offers a walk by the sea, near Playa Calahonda, 670 m away. Playa La Torrecilla and Playa El Chucho let you explore different stretches of coastline. Swimming and snorkelling are popular in summer; in spring and autumn, exploring the coastline and town centre lets you discover the area in milder temperatures. Parque Verano Azul, 750 m away, adds an outdoor stop to your itinerary.
