A WEDDING IN ANDALUSIA

Getting married in Frigiliana

A white village, a seventeenth-century church and a place to stay only a few steps from the ceremony.

San Antonio de Padua church stands in the heart of Frigiliana’s old town. Casa AMARA is diagonally opposite, around 15 metres away.

That makes the house a particularly practical base for the couple, close family or wedding guests who want to stay in the village and avoid another journey immediately before the ceremony.

Why couples choose Frigiliana for their wedding

Frigiliana brings the ceremony into the everyday fabric of a historic Andalusian village. White houses, narrow lanes and the small church square create a setting that feels intimate rather than staged.

The parish church is San Antonio de Padua, built in the seventeenth century. Church arrangements, available dates and current requirements must always be agreed directly with the parish.

For guests, the practical question comes next: where to stay, get ready and return after the celebration. This is where Casa AMARA’s location is unusual.

Stay at AMARA

Casa AMARA on Calle Chorruelo in Frigiliana old town

Accommodation diagonally opposite the church

Casa AMARA is on Calle Chorruelo, where it meets Calle Real, around 15 metres from San Antonio church. There is no transfer from the accommodation to the ceremony and no long walk through the village in wedding clothes.

During a booked stay, the couple or guests can get ready in their own accommodation, take a final moment in private and walk over when it is time.

The short distance is just as useful afterwards: guests staying at AMARA return to the house in a few steps. If the reception is elsewhere, arrange the taxi, shuttle or pickup with the venue or wedding planner in good time.

from Casa AMARA to San Antonio church

For couples and wedding guests looking for accommodation in Frigiliana, Casa AMARA offers four independent stays for two guests each. Depending on availability, a wedding booking can be kept small or bring a close group together in the same house.

ONE STAY

For the couple or two guests

Book one private AMARA stay for one or two people who want to sleep and get ready close to the church.

TWO STAYS

For up to four guests

Two independent stays keep two couples, the wedding party or close family near one another while preserving private space.

THE WHOLE HOUSE

For up to eight guests

Subject to combined availability, all four stays in Casa AMARA can be reserved together for up to eight overnight guests.

Booking the whole house means: four independent apartments in the same old building for up to eight guests. The wedding and the celebration happen in the church and the restaurant; in the house you sleep.

Get ready without a long journey

This quiet preparation before the ceremony is often called getting ready. In the final hour, a booked AMARA stay gives you a private base next to the church rather than a hotel room or villa outside the village.

A private place before the ceremony

Use your own bathroom and accommodation to dress, make final adjustments and take a quiet moment before leaving.

Wedding clothes, fewer logistics

The church is only a few steps away, so there is no need to plan a car or taxi for the final part of the journey.

Close guests under one roof

Separate stays in the same house allow a small group to remain nearby without giving up privacy.

Access for getting ready is part of the confirmed overnight stay. Any early arrival or timing outside the booked check-in period must be agreed in advance.

The ceremony may be close, but arrival and village logistics still deserve an early plan, especially when several guests travel at the same time.

Arrive in Frigiliana

How to get to Frigiliana

Plan parking before the day

The old town has limited vehicle access. Wedding dates and village events can increase demand, so guests should know their parking plan before arrival.
