Imagine waking up to the sound of birds chirping in Ronda’s peaceful Old Town, enjoying a leisurely breakfast, and having time to explore the town’s hidden corners at your own pace.
Ronda might be famous as a day trip destination, but let me tell you—it’s so much better when you stay overnight. Sure, most visitors breeze in to snap a photo of the Puente Nuevo and head off, but staying longer lets you soak up the magic of this clifftop gem without the crowds.
From one of Andalucia’s best paradors with jaw-dropping views to cosy guesthouses packed with charm, Ronda has accommodation to suit every traveller.
Whether you’re visiting for romance, history, or just some Andalucian sunshine, finding the right place to stay can make your trip truly unforgettable. It’s time to discover your perfect stay in Ronda!
Here are my top 3 picks for where to stay in Ronda:
Read on to learn more about these hotels and 4 other lovely stays in Ronda’s historic centre.
Choosing the right area to stay in Ronda can make all the difference, whether you’re here for just a night or a longer visit.
If it’s your first time in Ronda or you’re only staying for a night, the Historic Centre is the way to go.
This area puts you right in the heart of the action, close to must-see landmarks like the Puente Nuevo and the cobblestone streets of the Old Town. Staying here means you can easily explore Ronda’s sights by day and enjoy its peaceful, romantic vibe after the day-trippers have left.
If you have a longer stay or want a different experience, head to Barrio San Francisco, a charming neighbourhood just outside the Old Town walls. It has a more local feel, with affordable restaurants and a slower pace. It’s still within walking distance of the main attractions but offers a break from the tourist buzz.
Another alternative is to stay on the outskirts of town, near the countryside. This is best for a peaceful rural retreat or if you’re here for the views and want to explore Ronda’s hiking trails. You’ll find hotels and guesthouses with stunning panoramic views of the Serranía de Ronda mountains and easy access to nature.
