This Spanish resort is found in the Andalusian province of Granada, just a 30-minute transfer from Andalusia’s airport. Its name means “snowy mountain range”, its locale very much doing what it says on the tin as a popular skiing region for beginners and intermediates. It’s one of the most southerly, but has some very high peaks, making well over a hundred runs possible from December to April. The sunny Sierra Nevada has several national parks, a terrain park and a dedicated biosphere reserve. And as well as enjoying fun in the snow, you can hit the beach at lower altitudes.
El Lodge Sierra Nevada
A boutique ski-season hotel, El Lodge’s architecture is modelled on the traditional chalet, but with a chic personality infused by its owners, Marbella Club. Inside the Finnish wood building, you’ll find 20 bedrooms with Natura Bissé bath products, iPads, iPod docks and Nespresso machines, decorated with cowhide rugs, fur cushions and antler chandeliers, plus a Smeg fridge on every floor. Outside is a pool and wooden hot tub (from which steam rises invitingly on a cold day) and a sauna with impressive views. The main restaurant, bar, lounge and terrace all serve dishes crafted with low-mileage ingredients and there’s a games room to keep the kids busy.
