Share videoThe Costa Calida region
The Costa Calida is Spanish for warm coast with 3000 hours of sunshine per year. The average annual temperature is 17 degrees. The winter is very mild and sunny and the summer is very hot.
The beaches are fantastic, long sandy Mediterranean beaches, little rocky coves and the beaches on the Mar Menor are safe, the water is shallow, tranquil and warm, ideal for paddling and building sandcastles! The area is great for water sports - windsurfing, sailing, pedalos, water skiing, kite surfing, fishing, etc. There are many diving schools, wrecks to discover and colourful fish to see. Great snorkelling.
The area is very good for cycling and walking with many routes available for a day out.
Lots of new golf courses within 20 minutes drive. La Manga Club 7 minutes
For bird watchers at least 63 types of birds near the property. With unobstructed views from the balcony right across the protected Salinas de Marchemelo. A must for bird watchers!
The La Manga Del Mar Menor / Playa Paraiso, La Manga Del Mar Menor area
The Mar Menor is a few minutes walk from the front of the house - a salt water lagoon beside the Mediterranean sea. There are numerous beaches with crystal clear shallow waters with a maximum depth of 7 metres. The biggest salt lake in Europe!
Playa Paraiso is a safe sandy beach with 3 beach bars open in the Summer. A new sports centre has just opened further down the street with tennis, padel tennis, football and a cafe/bar selling coffee and cakes, ice creams, fresh bread and cheap beer. There are quite a few local restaurantsand bars within walking distance of the house and many more to visit in the local harbour at Cabo de Palos and the La Manga Strip.
There is a new sports centre in Playa Paraiso offering football, tennis, paddle tennis, windsurfing, paragliding and relaxation and tai chi courses.
Cartagena is a Roman City worth a visit and Murcia is a very cultural city.

We are back from beautiful Spain and enjoyed our vacation a great deal.
We have all had a really wonderful fortnight here at Turquesa. We've had breakfasts and lunches on the front terrace with lovely views of the Mar Menor and famingoes and spent most of our days relaxing and laying around the pool. The villa was exactly what we wanted and so well equipped, We have all felt at home here. We've eaten out every eveing and found some lovely restaurants.The location here is ideal, nice and quiet, but close enough to everything we needed.We'll definitely recommend the villa to friends and family and have had a truly amazing time! We don't want to go home!!
