You have space, real greenery, a bar just a few steps away and an entire rural complex around you. That's what sets our accommodation with pool in the Ricote Valley apart from any other option in inland Murcia.

Your plan

The perfect plan, whoever you come with

At Áureo Natura there's room for everyone:

Families with children

Families with children: A spacious pool area with no sudden depths and a lawn where little ones can run, snack or rest. Pair it with a night in a wooden lodge sleeping up to 7 and your family weekend is sorted: pool by day, dinner at the restaurant, children's play area right next door.

Couples unwinding

Couples who want to unwind: No crowds, no beach-bar noise, no rush. Escape for a weekend in a lodge with pool access and add a spa session (wood therapy, hot stones or a facial treatment — perfect for anniversaries, birthdays or simply giving yourselves time together).

Groups of friends

Groups of friends: Pool, bar, restaurant and lodges to sleep in — all within the same complex. No moving cars, no coordinating transfers. Celebrations, stag and hen dos, birthdays or group reunions in a genuinely different rural setting.

Campervan travellers

Campervan and motorhome travellers: Pitches of approximately 80 m² with electricity, water, washing machine and dryer. Pool access is included in your stay. No minimum stay, flexible check-in for walk-ins and pets welcome. Find out more about our caravan and campervan site.

Summer inland

Summer in Murcia without sand, traffic or stress

When the heat hits in Murcia, the first instinct is usually to head to Mar Menor or La Manga. But those who live here know what that means in July and August.

That's why more and more families, couples and groups from Murcia, Alicante and Albacete choose to spend their weekend inland: cooler nights, more authentic, better value and with far more freedom.

A quick comparison:

Constant noise Real silence of the Sierra de Ricote
The complex

A complete rural complex built around the pool

What sets our pool apart from any other rural property in the Ricote Valley is everything around it. It's not just a place to swim — it's a rural complex designed for you to stay.

All integrated within the same rural complex, a few minutes from Abarán and at the heart of the Ricote Valley, one of the most distinctive landscapes in the Murcia region. If you'd like to know how to get here, visit our getting here page.

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.
