Beach clubs in Las Negras
A bohemian fishing village inside Cabo de Gata Natural Park with one standout beachfront spot.
Las Negras has one beach club in Las Negras worth visiting. It sits on the edge of the Cabo de Gata-Níjar Natural Park, one of the driest and most protected stretches of coastline in Spain.
This isn't a resort town. Las Negras is a small fishing village with dark volcanic sand, clear water, and a pace that rewards doing very little. The beach club scene here reflects that: one well-regarded spot with good food and sea views rather than a strip of competing venues.
The Almería tourism board lists Las Negras as one of the key villages along the park's coastline. It's a 20-minute drive from Cabo de Gata village and about an hour from Almería city.

Tips for visiting Las Negras beach clubs
Las Negras is remote by Spanish standards. There's no train station and limited bus service, so a car is the easiest way to get here. The drive from Almería airport takes about 50 minutes.
The village has a handful of restaurants and a small supermarket, but don't expect a big nightlife scene. That's the point. If you want more beach club options, Mojácar is about 45 minutes north along the coast and has a busier scene.
Book your sunbed or dinner table at Manduka during July and August. Outside peak season, you can usually walk in.
