Some people put their swimwear away as soon as the first chill arrives. Others understand that true luxury has little to do with the calendar. For those who refuse to renounce the pleasure of water — even when winter settles in — there are places where swimming remains a ritual to be cherished. Whether beneath the soft light of the islands or cocooned in a heated pool while the cold lingers beyond the glass, Paradores elevates winter swimming into something unforgettable. A simple act that becomes indulgence, self-care, and a more intimate way of travelling.

At Paradores, we have spent almost 100 years championing a form of tourism that is not only excellent, but also responsible. Today, more than ever, we are convinced that the future of tourism must be sustainable. This means not only protecting our landscapes, our history and our traditions, but also ensuring that future generations can enjoy everything we offer in an ethical, respectful and, above all, responsible way.

Why is sustainability so important to us?

Winter has that magical touch that awakens every part of Spain with scenes straight out of a fairy tale. While the north is covered in snow, the south enjoys a warmer climate, creating contrasts that invite exploration. For those seeking adventures in the cold, city breaks or a warm retreat, Spain has ideal destinations for every type of traveller. From the snow of Sierra Nevada to the sun of Tenerife, here are six destinations that are all the rage in winter.

The wait has been worth it. In a unique setting, the first Parador in the Balearic Islands is born: the Parador de Ibiza, destined to become a new icon of the region. A place designed to stop time, connect with the essence of the surroundings and enjoy a memorable experience. With sales already underway and its opening set for 23 February, we are counting down the days to welcome our first guests on 10 March. Today we begin to discover it. Here is a first glimpse of what is to come.

Snow has an almost magical power to excite young and old alike. Just seeing the landscape covered in white is enough to spark a thousand ideas, such as building snowmen, sledging on makeshift toboggans, having classic snowball fights, walking through frozen forests or warming up in front of the fireplace. But what are the ideal destinations for enjoying a family getaway in the snow? Here are five perfect places to experience winter in a special way and share an unforgettable experience with your family.

During the fair, visitors can enjoy a full programme of activities in our space, including talks, interviews and a gastronomic area where you can sample some of the most representative dishes of our popular cuisine.

To mark the fair, which will be held from 21 to 25 January, we would like to offer you a 20% discount on bed and breakfast* using the promotional code:

Once again, Paradores will be present at the International Tourism Fair, FITUR 2026, to be held at IFEMA Madrid from 21 to 25 January. This is an essential event for the tourism sector and an excellent opportunity to reconnect with our customers, partners and all those travellers who are passionate about heritage, nature and culture.

The New Year always arrives full of excitement, plans that motivate us and that desire to start afresh with renewed energy. And few things inspire us as much as travelling: opening the door to places that renew us, awaken our senses and remind us why it is worth continuing to dream.

For 2026, we want to invite you to discover destinations that will surprise you, make you stop, breathe and see the world through new eyes. Places that invite you to start the year with calm, beauty and new stories... always with a Parador nearby to accompany you every step of the way.
