La Almendra y El Gitano, Agua Amarga Overview
La Almendra y El Gitano is located in Agua Amarga, Spain. Rated 8.9 out of 10 based on 57 guest reviews.
La Almendra y El Gitano is a calm, garden-focused base in Agua Amarga, Spain, set along Camino Cala del Plomo, s/n, where the landscape does most of the talking. With a guest rating of 8.9/10 from 57 reviews, it’s a popular pick for travelers who want an easy rhythm: swim, soak, and then head out for the coast. The setting suits families and pet owners alike, and reviews commonly mention that the atmosphere feels relaxed rather than formal.
Rooms open onto the outdoor spaces, which makes it simple to unwind between beach trips. Air conditioning helps when the inland heat rises, while the swimming pool and hot tub/Jacuzzi give you two different ways to recover after hiking or driving the Cabo de Gata-Níjar Natural Park roads. For evenings at home, the terrace and BBQ facilities create a straightforward option for casual dining.
From this part of Agua Amarga, you can reach Agua Amarga Beach in about 1 km, making early swims and late sunsets realistic without long transfers. Cabo de Gata-Níjar Natural Park is roughly 12 km away for dramatic viewpoints and rugged coves, and the broader area around Mirador de la Granatilla is about 18 km for scenery that’s worth the detour. If you’re planning a road trip, the free parking and discounted offsite parking rates help keep logistics simple.
Expect a practical, outdoorsy stay with a strong community feel, where guests often highlight the combination of pet-friendly comfort and on-site relaxation after exploring the coastline.

Worth booking if you want a calm, garden-focused base with strong guest satisfaction (8.9/10) and the ability to relax with a pool and hot tub/Jacuzzi. It’s a good fit for travelers who plan to spend days exploring nearby beaches and then return for an easy, quiet rhythm.
Best For
- Couples looking for a quiet, relaxing stay with pool and hot tub time between beach outings
- Pet owners who want a hotel that explicitly allows pets and offers a relaxed setting in Agua Amarga
- Travelers who prefer a low-key base with a tour desk for visiting nearby highlights like San José and the Cabo de Gata Lighthouse
- Groups or families who value free parking and on-site comfort (air conditioning, terrace, BBQ facilities) after day trips
Not Ideal For
- Light sleepers who may be sensitive to any ambient noise typical of a more relaxed, garden-based property (no specific noise issue is stated, but this is the main potential trade-off)
- Travelers who need walkability to restaurants and attractions on foot, since key beaches and sights are 9–15 km away
- Those arriving late or needing very flexible check-in, since check-in is limited to 02:00 PM to 09:00 PM
What to Expect
You arrive to a calm, garden-focused setting in Agua Amarga, where the pace feels intentionally unhurried. Days typically follow an easy rhythm: swim, soak in the hot tub/Jacuzzi, and then head out toward nearby coastal spots like El Playazo Beach or Playa de los Muertos. Evenings feel simple and restorative on the terrace, with BBQ facilities and massage services available if you want to add a little extra recovery time. The overall guest sentiment (8.9/10 from 57 reviews) points to a comfortable, relaxing base that works well for people who want both downtime and day-trip options.
Location Intelligence
Agua Amarga is positioned well for coastal exploration: Cabo de Gata Lighthouse is about 10 km away, El Playazo Beach about 9 km, and Playa de los Muertos about 15 km. San José is roughly 12 km from the property, so plan for short drives or arranged transport rather than expecting everything to be walkable. For flights, Almería Airport is the closest at 37 km; Murcia-San Javier is farther at 106 km.
