Mariposa, Moraira Overview
Mariposa is located in Moraira, Spain. Rated 9.2 out of 10 based on 37 guest reviews.
Mariposa is a family-friendly stay in Moraira, Spain, set on Calle Tarragona 37A in the Las Fuentes area. With a guest rating of 9.2/10 from 37 reviews, it’s the kind of place people describe as steady and comfortable rather than flashy, and it suits travellers who want a calm base for coastal days. Reviews commonly mention the ease of settling in, with guests appreciating the outdoor pool and the option to unwind on the terrace or in the garden after time on the water.
The location works well for short drives and quick outings: Moraira Beach is about 2 km away, while the Castillo de Moraira rises roughly 1 km from the hotel for an easy heritage stop. For more dramatic scenery, Cala Moraig is around 4 km from Mariposa, and Cala del Portet is also about 4 km, both ideal for sun, swims, and viewpoint walks.
Practical details matter here. Free WiFi helps families keep routines on track, and air conditioning and heating are useful across seasons. Free parking is a standout for road-trip friendly travellers, especially if you plan to hop between coves along the coast. The hotel also has family rooms, which makes it simpler for groups to stay together without constant logistics.
Overall, Mariposa is best for families and couples who prefer a quiet base with outdoor space, reliable comfort, and straightforward access to Moraira’s beaches and landmarks.
