Amadores is organised around one dominant beach
The broad curved bay is the main reason many travellers choose Amadores. Restaurants and services line the beach edge, while accommodation rises on the surrounding slopes. The result is visually simple at beach level but much more vertical when hotel locations are considered.
Amadores suits visitors who want the beach to define the stay. Travellers seeking a larger town centre, marina or nightlife may prefer nearby Puerto Rico.
Where Amadores sits on the southwest coast
Amadores lies immediately west of Puerto Rico and is connected by a coastal promenade. Playa del Cura is the next resort area farther west. The coastal sequence is close, but the bays are separated by headlands and steep terrain.
Use the view to understand which hotels are near the promenade and which are positioned high above the bay.

Can I walk from Amadores to Puerto Rico?
A coastal promenade connects the two areas. Conditions can be affected by maintenance, weather and the exact starting point, so verify locally if the route is important to your stay.
Are hotels in Amadores close to the beach?
Some are close to beach level, while many are built on the slopes above the bay. The visual distance and the walking effort are not always the same.
Who should choose Amadores?
