The Costa Calida region
Due to the Costa Calida's ('Warm Coast') microclimate and average 320 days of sunshine, the villa is ideal for a superb, relaxing holiday for couples and families in all seasons. Our villa is a golfer's haven too as there are many excellent golf courses within easy reach, including Alto Real (45 minutes drive), La Manga (approx. 1 hour), Fuente Alamo (which is 18 holes and at 6.5 kms long, is recognized as one of the best and more luxurious in the South East of Spain and just 25 minutes away approx.). However the nearest one is only about 15 minutes away by car.
The average year round temperature is 20º and November and Christmas can be celebrated on the beach! In the hardest winter it's difficult to find frost, and snow only occasionally tops the higher mountains like Sierrra Espuña where there is a great variety of flora and fauna, including eagles, wild boar many other smaller animals with many trees, bushes, herbs and wild flowers.
In this national park it is possible to enjoy, hiking, fishing, bird watching, cycling, hang gliding, rock climbing or just sit outside one of the bars that are dotted about and enjoy the clean air and wonderful views.
Protected areas provide a wealth of animal life. For the hiker, there are fifteen categorized walks of varying lengths but there are numerous other routes you can take to discover wildlife, herbs and plants and admire spectacular views.
The region of Murcia is a major producer of fruits, vegetables, and flowers for Spain and the rest of Europe. It is mainly a warm region which has made it very suitable for agriculture.
The old mining areas also provide interesting excursions with many of the original works and buildings still standing.

The Puerto De Mazarron area
Within a 2 minute walk of the villa down an incline, are a very good Spanish restaurant, plus a lovely English pub/restaurant which enjoys super seaviews and offers themed nights, good value English food including roasts and breakfasts, weekend entertainment including live music, Sky TV, darts, pool table and free Wi-Fi Internet access, along with a Pharmacy, public telephone, a cafe with quiz and karaoke nights plus a small quiet, friendly cafe/bar and a larger bar (all information is current)
Diving, snorkelling, horse riding, bowling, tennis, boules, karting and windsurfing are among the many activities one can participate in locally when not "chilling out"!
There is even an enclosed 'Winter Pool' nearby that can be used out of season for a nominal charge
Mazarron itself is bathed in history and with numerous beautiful beaches and hidden coves, varied countryside, the friendly people and healthy diet make Mazarrón and the Costa Cálida paradise for holidays.
The weather in summer in Mazarron is typically very hot with little to no rainfall and temperatures up to 38c, but fortunately on most days there is a cooling sea breeze. Average winter temperatures are around 20c and the climate has been described by the World Health Organisation as one of being the best in the world, especially good for sufferers of arthritis.
The sea is usually around 5º warmer due to the unique 'micro climate' that Mazarrón enjoys. Windsurfing, sailing, diving, swimming, whatever your pleasure, Mazarron's coast provides it all.
The Port of Mazarron (a year round fishing port) with its new marina, shops, restaurants, cafes and bars is around a 15 minute walk, depending on pace!. Many of the local restaurants offer freshly caught fish and in one in particular, you can choose your own, watch it being cooked and then it's served up for you to enjoy! Less than 5 minutes' drive, is the inland town of Mazarron with its ornate Town Hall, markets, shops and Medical centre. The historic city of Cartagena, about 25 minute's drive away, with its naval port, military museum, huge new out-of-town shopping and eating mall Parque Mediterraneo (with masses of free parking and designer shops), and hypermarkets Eroski (complete with McDonald's!) and Carrefour, is full of history and architecture with lovely waterfront promenades, and excellent shopping facilities to suit all tastes and budgets. It has a large number of restaurants, many of which are traditional Spanish ones, but it also caters for a variety of diners . Further afield at Vera (approx. an hour and a quarter away) is the 'Parc Aquatico' (water park) for a great, fun-filled day out.
Going slightly further afield and inland, you can find places that have remained unchanged for years and are unspoilt by tourism. There are thermal baths at Mula and Roman remains in Lorca. There are also weekly markets in Puerto de Mazarron (Sundays), Mazarron Town (Saturdays) and Totana (Wednesdays). Buses, coaches and trains are also available to link up with towns and cities. There are numerous small villages, which one can find and explore, but Totana and Lorca are especially interesting, steeped in history (dating back to the Romans), local cuisines, shops and markets.
We have also developed our own comprehensive information/reference book, with all the details our guests will need in order to have a good holiday and covering, 'Useful Telephone Numbers' to 'Places to Visit', (which we would politely ask, stays in the villa for other guests' use.)

Villa Mazarron is the perfect base to explore the region of Murcia. It's easy to find and only 40 - 50mins drive from San Javier Airport. The villa has stunning views out over the Med which are even better from the roof top terrace. The pool was a godsend for the kids in the hot afternoons and also very private. Overall the villa was very clean and Barry was on hand to sort any issues. The best beaches we found were at Isla Plana (5mins drive) and Calnegre (30mins drive) but the beach at Bolnuevo was also good. There is a great wee Spanish Bar half way down the hill where we had paella which was as good as we have eaten. There are a couple of big supermarkets in Puerto de Mazarron but for fresh food give them a miss and go to the daily indoor market in Puerto de Mazarron for fish, fruit, veg, bread etc, for half the price you pay in the supermarket. We took a trip to Murcia for the day which is a beautiful city but very hot even at night, it was 98F when we left at 8pm. There is also a good water park at Vera, which is about an hours drive south towards Almeria. |
Guestbook for Villa Mazarron
"We loved it, the Villa is wonderful, the view in the morning was spectacular, we did a bit of exploring in the car off the beaten track and found some fantastic places and beaches. The beaches down at Calnegre are amazing, all be it it's a bit of a scary drive to get to them. The kids loved the pool and it was great to have it to ourselves and the paella in the Spanish bar just down from the villa was as good as we've ever had...
Was one of the best holidays we've had" - Mr W, Scotland
"We had a lovely time. The view from the roof of your villa is beautiful. I spent many a peaceful evening sitting up there relaxing and looking at the view. I enjoyed the fact that your villa is in a quiet spot but is in walking distance to almost everything. We had a hire car so found it easy to get to the bigger shops. I would definitely recommend it to others - Mrs. S, West Midlands
"Would like to say would like to say a big thankyou.... we had a lovely time in your house this summer - our children really enjoyed the pool. We would recommend your house to others" - Ms. P, London
"Just wanted to say what a lovely time we had at the Villa a week or so ago. The kids loved the pool and the nearby beaches and we really had a great week. Again, thanks very much, the villa is lovely & we will definitely recommend you to our friends" - Mr W, Leics.
"So relaxing, gorgeous views, definitely recommend it to anyone, keep it in mind for our future holidays" - Mr and Mrs M, Scotland
