Our story
A rural retreat born from a deep love for our home in Abarán. This is the story behind Áureo Natura.
Áureo Natura is an authentic retreat in the heart of the picturesque Ricote Valley, where our passion for roots, local gastronomy, sustainability and wellbeing intertwine with the charm of rural Murcian life. Every corner of this place has been crafted with care and attention to detail, reflecting our dedication to preserving and sharing the essence of our hometown in Abarán. Here, we hope our guests find a space to connect deeply with nature, culture and the warm hospitality that defines Áureo Natura.
The story
The story of Áureo Natura began with a dream rooted in a deep love for our home in Abarán, Murcia. Inspired by the natural beauty of the Ricote Valley and the desire to preserve our traditions, the project took shape as a tribute to our origins.
Every detail of the accommodation was carefully considered to offer travellers a retreat where they could connect with the essence of rural Murcian life. Surrounded by gardens that evoke the tranquillity of the surroundings, with paths that invite exploration and relaxation, Áureo Natura blends natural materials and textures that reflect the authentic character of the region.
The interiors, decorated with restored pieces that tell their own story, create a warm, welcoming atmosphere steeped in authenticity. It is a place that invites you to embrace a slower pace of life, to savour the present and to reconnect with what truly matters.
Our team
At Áureo Natura, our team is the heart of everything we do — their dedication and passion are the driving force behind every experience we offer. When you visit, you will be met by warm, friendly faces who have been with us from the very beginning, committed to delivering genuine hospitality.
Our head chef brings boundless passion for local gastronomy, and you may find her hand-picking fresh ingredients at nearby markets to bring to life dishes that capture the flavours of the region. Our head gardener, also with us since Áureo Natura's earliest days, has transformed the outdoor spaces into a thriving environment, cultivating many of the herbs and vegetables we use in the kitchen.
Gema and Miriam, our Reception Directors, are always there with a smile and a willingness to make every detail of your stay special. From organising local activities to attending to any need that arises, our team works to ensure every guest feels truly at home.
The present
Over the years, Áureo Natura has grown and evolved, yet our philosophy remains unchanged: to offer an authentic retreat where guests can reconnect with nature and the essence of rural Murcian life.
Áureo is still run with passion by its founding team, who, with the same enthusiasm as in the very beginning, continue working to deliver a unique and enriching experience. Over time, we have welcomed collaborators and friends who, initially visiting as guests, fell in love with the magic of this place and today form an essential part of our Áureo family — driving our ambition to always offer the very best to those who visit us.

It is deeply rewarding to read the comments and messages our guests leave after their stay at Áureo Natura. Every word reflects the special moments lived here, and seeing them return year after year is one of the greatest rewards for us. It is a true honour to be part of their memories, and knowing that they find in Áureo a place they always want to come back to fills us with joy and pride.
What a wonderful place! Highly recommended. The quality is excellent in every way. Everything is clean and well-maintained. There's a good restaurant and a private wellness center with a steam room and a beautiful garden.
This was a brilliant little site. Spotlessly clean everywhere, quiet and unobtrusive. Pool, bar, restaurant, gym, games and TV room. Lovely warm reception, and the ladies speak perfect English. Definitely recommend and will be back.
Áureo Natura is the definition of serenity and liberty in one place. The staff who work the night and day shifts are our hope for humanity. We arrived just before midnight with our campervan and they welcomed us warmly. A lovely stay.
Lovely relaxing weekend — we bathed, ate, slept well and thoroughly enjoyed it.
