Here you’ll find a warm, welcoming atmosphere that’s ideal for relaxing after a long day of sightseeing; you can, for example, take relaxing dip in the swimming pool or enjoy the gastronomic delights of La Mancha on the terrace. All without taking your eyes off the beautiful Toledo skyline.

Parador de Granada

Granada
The Parador de Granada occupies what was the Nasrid Palace of Los Infantes, which was converted by the Catholic Monarchs into the first Christian monastery in the recently conquered Alhambra and selected to house the monarchs’ tomb. The brick walls conceal an interior made of dreams, where wonderful works of art and furniture are combined with spectacular views of the gardens of the Generalife that invite guests to take a relaxing walk through the city and experience unforgettable moments of peace and tranquillity in the unique setting of the Parador.

Parador de Ronda

Ronda
The Parador de Ronda stands in a privileged location next to the emblematic Puente Nuevo and in the old Casa Consistorial. An exceptional balcony that looks out over the unique landscape of the Tajo, a spectacular gorge of 120 metres in depth. The welcoming, light-filled interior is marked by vibrant and cheerful colours in the decoration, while the Parador itself offers an exclusive view that you can enjoy from the terrace or while you take a dip in the swimming pool. The Parador also has a beautiful duplex and elegant salons for all your celebrations and events.

The building crowns the city and offers a panoramic view from every corner of the Parador, especially from the terrace and swimming pool.

Located in the heart of the city, the Parador breathes heritage and history.

Can you book my international airfares?

On some Islands Holiday Packages (e.g. Fiji), it is practical to include flights, so where we have done this it is indicated by the plane icon.

However, on the majority of our Holiday Packages, we do not include international flights.

We found that many customers may prefer to:

Travel on a specific airline of their choice
Have the flexibility to book flights with Frequent Flyer points
Select flight dates that may be different to our Holiday Package start/end dates
Use a Travel Credit already held with the airline
Use their travel agent for this service

We are able to assist with flights on any Holiday Package, so please just notify us during the Book Now process or contact our team.

Should I take travel insurance?

Travel insurance is strongly recommended. During the Book Now process please confirm you require assistance, and our team will be in contact with you.

What should I do before travelling?

Before you travel it is your responsibility to ensure you have the appropriate documentation including visas. If you are travelling on a passport other than Australian or New Zealand, you will require a permit to re-enter Australia.
