Las Palmeras del Califa

Centrally located hotel which is in the midst of the action. The hotel is easy to find but you are not told where to check in. The rooms are simple and a little tired but adequate. The breakfast was excellent.

Beautiful property and a wonderful staff. My only complaint is there wasn’t much to do around the town.

This is an annexe of the main hotel where the rooms are larger suites and you have access to a small swimming pool. Although more expensive than the main hotel, the pool access alone sealed the deal for us. It was a fantastic to have this on a hot afternoon even in May. You check in at the hotel in the town plaza and then walk down the street and around the corner to Las Palmeras. We paid for car parking which is a short walk away. Be warned the allocated spaces are in the basement and the car needs to be able to turn a very tight corner to access the ramp. My husband managed it but it was challenging. The hotel is decorated with style and many antiques and photos from the owner James's childhood in Africa and unconventional family travels. We met partner Ellie in one of their restaurants who explained this and it adds considerably to the charm of this hotel. Although Vejer is packed with ( currently underbooked ) restaurants, we found the food in hotel-owned Califa Express and Corredera 55 to be our best meals. Breakfast is fine though we did not like the spelt bread rolls. Lovely to eat in the garden with palm trees. Do not miss drinks or Moroccan afternoon tea on the rooftop terrace and with time you get used to the Escher-esque staircases around the hotel buildings. We thought that the hotel and Vejer in general was like a love child of Greece and Morocco. Swallows swoop the pool in the afternoons, bells ring, children play in the Plaza, sparrows chirp noisily at sunrise and sunset. We had a comfortable stay and would recommend.

A truly stunning room in a wonderful location. We will be back! Not for those who have difficulty with stairs.

Part of the Califa complex of hotels in the town with great character and Moroccan influence. This is the second time we have stayed there and we have thoroughly enjoyed our selves. The dinning is great for eating out under the stars and palm trees.

I loved staying here - the hotel is beautiful, the meals we had were excellent and Vejer is gorgeous. We didn´t go in the pool, but the pool terrace was lovely. The staff were pleasant. I love middle eatsern food and they did it really well. However, I am able bodied and there is a snag with access. There is free parking available, but you then need to walk up a hill afterwards (pull up by recepcion and drop your bags before parking). The rooms and access to the pool and eating area are via stairs.

We had Rojo room which is a spacious suite with a generous terrace. Although rooms in the Las Palmeras del Califa annexe are more expensive than the main hotel, the swimming pool access is a huge bonus worth the extra cost. A lot of stairs as has been said before and the car park you can pay extra for is convenient, but only if your vehicle can get around a very tight corner to access the allocated spaces which are in the basement. We loved the art and furnishings and hearing about their history from Ellie. It is certainly a stylish boutique hotel in a very lovely town. We had 4 days to enjoy it. A car is essential to make the most of this area.

The hotel is located in a very nice town built on hill. The streets are very narrow and steep, very charming – on foot. I advise to park you car in parking La Correderra: it is the closest one to the hotel (this one has no parking on site). The hotel is a series of houses, and very nicely integrated in the environment. You need to be aware there a many stairs and no elevators: since you have to carry your own luggage: pack light! For the taller ones amongst us: some doors are really very low, so mind your head! We had room azul, with a wonderful view on the valley. I don’t know about the other rooms, this is not a quiet area to sleep because of the noise from the restaurant! The room also had a private terrace Breakfast is in the main part of the hotel, again pretty challenging to get there if you are not used to stairs, but having breakfast in this wonderful garden, is very relaxing. It starts with a fruit platter, followed by your choice of food (a la carte). Don’t be too enthusiastic, the portions are big and the yoghurt very ‘heavy’ (with very nice pistachio and honey) I recommend to try the carrot cake, this one is the best I’ve ever eaten!

Very cosy boutique hotel. Perfect for a romantic weekend in one of the most beautiful villages in Spain. We spent a weekend along the Atlantic court of Spain. Instead of saying the night in one of the crowded beach towns. We stayed at Vejer del la Frontiera. Highly recommended
