The Costa Calida/Murcia region

Nestling at the bottom of the Costa Blanca, the Costa Calida is one of the least known and most unspoilt regions of Spain, guaranteed to give you a taste of "real Spain".

With over 315 days of sunshine every year it is little wonder that the Costa Calida means "warm coast" and the unspoilt inland waters of the Mar Menor, the largest natural lagoon in Europe, offer safe and warm water bathing all year round.

The area is best know for the La Manga Club resort, renowned for its three championship golf courses, LTA Tennis Centre Training Ground and being the training ground of visiting football teams from Spain, the UK and the whole of Europe. There are over 22 tennis courts with the option of booking tennis coaching on an hourly or weekly basis. Short tennis, squash courts, bowling green and pitch and putt to name but a few of the sporting attractions. The Hyatt hotel is a fabulous 5 Star hotel and more, with Pool Restaurant and bar and now the newly opened Spa. Spoil yourself with a treatment from a manicure to the full 90 minute signature Lavender Massage with facial. For the evening there are over 30 restaurants and bars to dine in and to relax and enjoy yourself. These range in style and price from the Amapola Restaurant at the Hyatt which is superb but a little expensive to Si bar for inexpensive dining with family entertainment.

The area has so much to offer that it does not stop with La Manga Club. There are 8 further golf courses of an excellent standard, and a further 12 under development.

La Manga Strip ... the "sleeve" of land that runs from Cabo de Palos in the south to San Pedro in the north is 18km long and encloses the warm tranquil waters of the Mar Menor to the west and has the livelier colder Mediterranean to the east. The Strip is up to 1km wide in parts and in others is is merely 100m allowing only for the road to run through with a beach on either side. La Manga Strip is a town in its own right, albeit an long thin one! There are shopping centres, restaurants and bars set in plazas or squares. The marina at the Puerto Tomas Maestre is beautiful and houses some stunning boats and yachts that most of us can only dream of, but the restaurants are great and the atmosphere is wonderful.

Water sports ... well there could not be a better or safer place to learn to sail, jet ski or kite board. The area has a number of sailing schools with a wide range of boats and dinghies on which to learn to sail or to brush up your sailing skills. Diving is a popular sport and there are a number of different diving schools offering anything from the beginners course to night dives for the more expereinced diver. The dive around Isla Grosa, for example, takes around 1 hour and takes your through the magnificent quartz caves.

La Manga Del Mar Menor / Mar De Cristal area

Mar de Cristal (meaning the Crystal sea) has been a popular family holiday destination for the past 40 years, but known only really to the Spanish market place. Now it has been discovered by the English and is gaining a reputation as an ideal place to visit especially for families with young children.

The village itself has a long sandy beach on the Mar Menor, with its safe shallow and extremely warm waters. There are 3 tapas and beach bars, a pizzaria, further restaurants and an excellent supermarket, selling everything from inflatables to tomatoes.

The village of Los Belones is about 3km from Mar de Cristal which offers a more cosmopolitan choice of restaurants, bars and nightlife. You can easily walk to Los Belones on a warm summer evening in the knowledge that it is a cheap taxi ride back to the apartment after a good dinner.

The famous La Manga Club is only 10 mins drive from Mar De Cristal and many of the "famous faces" of La Manga Club moor their boats in the small marina at Mar de Cristal.

Guestbook

We were really surpised at the size of this apartment. Having stayed in apartments before in Spain we were really impressed at the quality of the furniture, the resort and we had a really good holiday. It was amazing value for money.
T Rowe, Guildford July 2007

Really great holiday, Murcia Villas were very friendly and helpful. The community pool was excellent and our children made lots of friends on holiday this time.
