About This Venue
A Lakeside Wedding Venue — Boat Rides Through the Albufera Natural Park
Nou Racó is a restaurant-and-events complex in El Palmar, set inside the Albufera Natural Park on Spain’s Valencia & Surroundings coast, just outside Valencia city. Spread across 16,200m² and two buildings, it hosts weddings for anywhere from 8 to 380 guests — one of the widest capacity ranges of any venue in the region — with several halls offering wide glass walls looking out over the wetlands.
The setting is the estate’s signature: private boat rides across the lake, lakeside gardens and a chill-out terrace for sunset drinks, and a garden barbecue-paellero area for live show-cooking during the cocktail hour. Nou Racó also runs a dedicated civil-ceremony space, a children’s play area with entertainers, and 235 on-site parking spaces.
Unlike most of Belka’s masía venues, Nou Racó isn’t exclusive-use — more than one celebration can run on the same day across its halls — and its kitchen team, working across market, traditional, signature and international menus, is highlighted repeatedly by past couples alongside several named wedding coordinators.
For UK, Ireland and US couples, Nou Racó sits close to Valencia city and airport, making it one of the most convenient venues geographically in Belka’s portfolio. With 282 reviews averaging 4.6 out of 5, a 92% recommendation rate, and Bodas.net Wedding Awards spanning eight different years, it has one of the longest track records in the region.
What Makes It Different
Three Reasons
Couples Choose This Estate
01
Weddings on the Water: Boat Rides Through the Albufera
Nou Racó sits directly inside the Albufera Natural Park, and couples and guests can take a private boat ride across the lake as part of the celebration — a distinctive experience among Valencia-area wedding venues, paired with lakeside gardens and a chill-out terrace for sunset drinks.
02
Exceptional Capacity Flexibility — From 8 to 380 Guests
With two buildings and multiple halls across 16,200m², Nou Racó can host anything from a very small, intimate wedding to a 380-guest celebration — and unlike most exclusive-use masías, more than one event can run on the same day, giving it unusual scheduling flexibility.
03
Eight Wedding Awards and 1,075+ Couples
Nou Racó has won Bodas.net’s Wedding Awards across eight different years (2014 through 2026) and has hosted more than 1,075 couples, with 282 reviews averaging 4.6 out of 5 — including specific praise for being a welcoming, LGBTQ+-friendly venue.

Best For
◈ Couples wanting a distinctive experience — a lakeside wedding with boat rides inside a natural park
◈ Very small or very large weddings alike (the 8–380 guest range is unusually flexible)
◈ Couples who want easy proximity to Valencia city and airport without sacrificing a natural, waterside setting
Not Ideal For
◈ Couples who specifically want full exclusive use of the entire property for their day — Nou Racó can host more than one event simultaneously
◈ Couples wanting on-site guest accommodation (none is offered)
◈ Couples specifically wanting a traditional countryside masía aesthetic rather than a lakeside restaurant-and-events setting
Also Suits Milestone Celebrations
Its lakeside setting, boat rides and exceptional capacity range also suit milestone celebrations — significant birthdays, anniversaries or family reunions — for groups from as few as 8 up to 380.
