Set on the section of Playa Malagueta known as Baños Carmen, about a mile (1.6km) east of central Málaga, Los Naranjos is an ideal setting for spending more time at the beach than sightseeing in the city. Rooms are reasonably spacious and the strand and its accompanying beach bars are literally across the street. It can seem a little desolate in the off-season, but rates are very low then. Several rooms have balconies with a sea view.
