Vera Playa Club

The first rate 4-star Vera Playa Club is our best seller and has a loyal following of Peng clientele. With a high standard of accommodation, impeccable service and a range of excellent value offers, it’s easy to see why customers return year after year. In fact, so valued are repeat guests, that the management offers a free 10 day stay for customers who have already stayed 10 times.  Spacious and light, the complex has been decorated in warm, modern tones with colourful Andalucian tiling in evidence throughout.

Location

Located directly on the beach, the Hotel Vera Playa Club is situated on the Costa Almeria at the northern tip of Andalucia, Spain’s southern-most province in the bay where it is reputed that Hannibal and his elephants landed to invade Europe! The Costa Almeria is on the same latitude as Tunis in North Africa and enjoys an exceptional climate with (usually) good weather from early spring through to late autumn. Three miles to the south is the small coastal town of Garrucha, whilst the town of Vera is six miles inland.

The Beach

The Vera Playa Club has a good stretch of sandy beach which has been officially designated for naturists’ use and is nearly one mile long.

Naturism at Vera Playa

To save confusion, Vera Playa Club has a ‘dusk to dawn’ dress code. Clothing is required between sunset and sunrise. Nudity is permitted from your room to the pool or beach during daylight hours but guests are asked to dress for meals in the restaurant. The small parade of shops and bars in front of the hotel are not part of the naturist area.

Food & Drink

The air-conditioned restaurant at Vera Playa Club is for guests only and provides all meals on a self-service basis. There are a wide variety of dishes for breakfast and the lunch and dinner buffets offer an excellent selection of both hot and cold dishes including local specialities as well as salads, vegetables, meat and fish. Items such as kebabs, chops and steaks are cooked to order on the outdoor grill. Gentlemen are required to wear long trousers for dinner. The Beach Club (open in high season) offers a Mediterranean menu choice including fish and paella speciality dishes. Adjacent to the swimming pool is the Caribe Bar with its poolside terrace and the Al Andalus pub is off the hotel lobby.  The restaurant is non-smoking. There are smoking areas in front of the indoor pool, the pool bar terrace and the Pub Al Andalus.
