El Playazo Beach Development Will Be “The Biggest In The History Of Nerja”

Latest News Tuesday 21st of May 2013

As we reported earlier in the month, plans to re-develop El Playazo beach to the west of Nerja have been put out to tender and Nerja Council have now revealed the outline draft of the development. Currently El Playazo is almost completely undeveloped and the new project aims to transform the beach and the area behind it into, in the words of the Mayor José Alberto Armijo (pictured), the “grand tourism resource that Nerja needs” being “the biggest development in the history of Nerja”.

The new development includes new homes, hotels, sports facilities and an enlarged beach area and promenade. The main road between Torrox and Nerja that runs behind the beach will become (according to the Mayor) “a grand boulevard that will connect Nerja with its most western part and the future marina”. The beach will be extended and will have 70,000 square metres of space and along with the new promenade will take up the first 100m from the top of the beach as it stands now.

The next 100m will become a “maritime sports environment zone” and will be 60,000 square metres in size for leisure and sports activities. The final 200m up to the main road will be developed for hotel accommodation of some 1,100 rooms, in one or more new hotels.
