Hotel & Spa Aura Jerte

Jerte Valley  >  Spain

Hotel & Spa Aura Jerte is located in the small village of Jerte, where the Jerte Valley begins to widen and the river gathers its clear mountain water. Aura Jerte is designed for people who want to breathe out rather than rush in. Inside, everything feels quiet. Rooms are spacious, softly lit, and shaped around comfort rather than decoration. It is a wonderfully quiet hotel and for adults only. For those who want to relax even more, the hotel also has an atmospheric spa area.

For birdwatchers the hotel is nicely located between interesting birding locations in the direct surroundings and top birding destinations like National Park Monfrague within easy reach by car (70 Km). On walking distance from the hotel is the famous Garganta de los Infiernos. 

Aura del Jerte isn’t a grand luxury resort. It is perfect for birdwatchers, walkers, nature lovers, and anyone who wants to experience the Jerte Valley in its most peaceful, elemental form.
