COSTA CĂLIDA
Literally translated as âwarm coastâ, this relatively undiscovered area of Spain has the mildest climate in the country and offers visitors the chance to discover authentic Spain. With two seas to choose from - the Mediterranean and the Mar Menor - the coastline offers impressive cliffs, wonderful beaches, lively harbours and secluded coves. Huge plains, dramatic mountain ranges and national parks with lush forests are what define the interior landscape, giving visitors the chance to relax and enjoy nature or participate in the many activities on offer.
BEACHES & WATERSPORTS
The Mar Menor is the largest coastal lagoon in Europe, offering a large choice of sandy beaches and calm bathing conditions, with sunbed and parasol hire. The Mar Menor is shallow, with warm water, a non-tidal haven for watersports enthusiasts and those who enjoy the safety of this tranquil âlittle seaâ. The urban blue flag sandy beach of Los AlcĂĄzares is just 10 minutes from the golf resort. In summer, the water in the Mar Menor can be 5°C (9°F) warmer than the Mediterranean, making it very popular with sailors and windsurfers. Local water sports centres offer sailing, windsurfing, canoeing courses and jet skiing. For a relaxing day or half-day out, take a boat trip to one of the five small volcanic islands in the middle of the Mar Menor. Diving/snorkelling is also available, 30 minutes drive away from the golf resort at Cabo de Palos, one of the best places in Europe for diving, due to its unusual marine geography. Here the continental shelf is so narrow that there is an immediate drop and this, coupled with the warm water, means it has some of the most abundant marine life in the Western Mediterranean.
HORSE RIDING
Horse riding along the beach is very popular; the beautiful Andalusian horses carry you through some of the most striking areas in the Calblanque National Park. Once you reach the wide beach areas, galloping along the beach is an experience to remember. Alternatively, the popular mountain hack includes walking and trotting around the mountains. The trained leaders will guide you up and around the stunning Murcian Mountains that will provide you with breathtaking views of the beautiful surroundings. This mountain hack is entirely off-road, away from traffic, to let you enjoy the true beauty of the region. The Rancho de la Fuenta Stables are located 20 minutes from the golf resort at the town of Los Belones, with around 60 horses available for both adults and children.
LOS ALCĂZARES
This quaint town is perfect for dining out. The popular golden sandy beach has sunbeds and parasols available to hire. Along the 5-mile continuous promenade there is an abundance of snack bars and restaurants to stop for lunch or to venture back to in the evening. Los AlcĂĄzares also has an old town which can be reached via an easy stroll along the promenade.
MURCIA
The fabulous city of Murcia is the capital of the Costa CĂĄlida. One of the famous visiting points is the Cathedral de Santa Maria, which is located at the plaza del Cardinal Belluga.
CARTAGENA
20 minutes drive from the golf resort is this charming, compact, coastal city that became great during the Roman times when Hannibal set off from here with his elephants on his journey to Rome. There are so many things to see, with over a dozen museums, 10 buildings of interest and four noteworthy churches.
We recently stayed at this apartment on the Mar Menor Golf Resort and had a really enjoyable experience. The apartment was clean, well-equipped, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The balcony offered a lovely view of the golf course, and it was a great spot to relax in the evenings.The setting was peaceful and quiet, which made it easy to unwind. Although we didnât get a chance to use the facilities on site, everything looked well-kept. The Spar on site was very reasonably priced, which was a pleasant surprise and made it easy to pick up essentials without needing to travel far.Overall, it was a great base for a relaxing break, and weâd happily return in the future.
We stayed here for 7 weeks over Christmas and New Year, we had a fabulous time and the apartment had everything you could want from a holiday apartment. We even had lots of sunshine! I would highly recommend staying here !
Had an excellent stay in a beautiful apartment. Exactly as described. Prompt communication from the owner. Fantastic checkin process. Nice views from the terrace overlooking the lake.
Will certainly rebook again. If youâre looking for a comfortable family apartment on Mar Menor golf. Look no further.
Booked this accommodation at fairly short notice and it didnât disappoint. Communication was first class and Jackie made sure we were instructed on how to get to the property as well as gaining entry. The apartment is fabulous. It was very spacious and all the bedrooms and bathrooms were great as to was the kitchen, which had everything you would need. It was spotlessly clean. What was a bonus was the all the equipment that was available to use for a day at the beach. We will definitely be returning to this apartment and would recommend it to anyone looking to stay the resort. Thank you
We had a pleasant stay for 4 weeks. A broken dishwasher was replaced as soon as possible. As was the broken childbed. Contact with the local agent was a pleasure. The only comment: the terras is on the north site. Nice in summer but in winter there's no sunshine.
The resort is well maintained and cleaned.
We all had a fab holiday, the apartment was fantastic, very clean and well equipped & had everything we needed. Great location for all amenities, especially golf which my husband and son made the most ofâŠ.canât fault anything, spot on đ
Lovely clean apartment, very well appointed, very responsive owner and very friendly key holder. We had a very enjoyable stay, and will definitely be visiting Mar Menor again, staying in the same place if we can. Loved it!
This was a great apartment - very clean and nicely furnished. The resort is lovely but was surprised to see so many dogs on site. We decided not to have a car but there are not many restaurants to choose from onsite, so a car is ideal. Jackie who meets you at the apartment couldnât have been more helpful and was fantastic! Thank you for the stay.
Lovely property enjoyed our stay there, great view across the lake, close to the pool, the resort had enough amenities.Great base for us explore the surrounding area which was lovely. Thank you Jackie for all your help when we arrived... much appreciated and very helpful đ
Huge apartment, we were in Spain on business, and it was the perfect place to stay . The resort is excellent, it was not easy to get about due to the Covid and Municipalities closing down, BUT everything is their, restaurants, a very well stocked shop, Excellent golf, excellent paddle tennis, so its a brilliant place to stay. Manager met us and it was so easy to find, will be back on our next business venture.
As many other reviews mention, the communication with Paul prior to the holiday and the responsiveness of Jackie and Craig whilst in resort was first class! Nothing was too much trouble and we felt totally valued as guests. Paul answered every question I had prior to the holiday and really quickly. In resort, Jackie even checked which restaurants were open for us as we were only due at the apartment gone 9pm and sent us photos of the menus! A small request regarding the bedding was sorted immediately.
The apartment itself is a credit to the owners and is just as the photos depict. Lovely furnishings and good size rooms with every appliance and accessory you need. There are spare adapters in the living room drawers and Netflix on TV so after a lovely meal and a few beers, we spent time as a family watchin g our favorite shows. The balcony has excellent views over both the golf course lake and pool with a bbq and plenty furniture. The pool nearest to us was shut (likely due to the resort being so quiet) but it was only a very short walk (2/3 mins) to the other pool so presented no issue for us.
The Spar on site was a about 15 mins walk away and the Boulevard outside the resort had lots of really good restaurants. One worthy of mention is No 6 by Genoa (next to Paddys) which had a 3 course menu for 25 euros and was more like fine dining.. fab. But also Shamrock does an excellent curry & Route 66 great burgers and American style food. The Italian was also good.
We felt so sorry for the bars and restaurants as they were so quiet with the covid-19 situation but they were always helpful and friendly despite this.
The boys played golf on the resort and really enjoyed it. The course wasn't at its best and repairs were underway in parts but in recognition of this they significantly reduced the fees so that was a bonus!
All in all a great break in a wonderful apartment. We like to visit different places but should we return to Murcia, we would not hesitate to book this accommodation.
Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Tranquilidad
Una zona super tranquila. Ideal para descansar e ir con niños. No fue mi caso, ya que iba con mi padre y mis tios.
Gracias por todo, llegamos bastante tarde porque nos perdimos y no tuvo ningĂșn problema en esperar. La casa ademĂĄs de sĂșper limpia estaba preciosa y totalmente equipada para cualquier necesidad.
La zona con un mercadona al lado y muy tranquila, los alrededores muy bonitos
La piscina con todas las normas de limpieza a rajatabla, un 10
Volveremos a repetir sin duda.
VerĂłnica
I have been to many countryâs in the world including Mexico, Jamaica etc and this apartment was without a doubt the cleanest , biggest and least expensive also we wanted for nothing. Paul has thought of everything. Jackie was so very helpful, she couldnât do enough for us, nothing was too much trouble. All my questions were answered and all my needs were covered.
The pools are amazing, the golf was really good fun and the price was reasonable.
The boulevard has many bars and restaurants and the food is really lovely. The curry house is superb and not too pricey. The shamrock bar has so many deals on every day , on a Wednesday ladies drink wine for free between 4pm and 5 pm. Route 66 have fantastic milk shakes . The food is very nice too.
Thank you Paul , Tracey and Jackie. I will be definitely be staying again.
Loved the apartment. Very clean and very comfortable. Plenty room for six people. Lots of light. Pool area is beautiful and well maintained and right next to apartment. Only thing negative for me was the balcony size. Not as big as I thought and not a sunbathing balcony. No sun comes on it in winter but apart from that it is as perfect
The apartment was in very good condition and clean and quite spacious. The balconies got the Sun in the morning and got used daily as the temperature was mid 20's. It is situated over looking the 15th hole on the course, which was great for watching the golf. The resort was not busy, but enough people so as not to feel empty, also all the bars and restaurants were open so no problem eating or drinking. Paul and Tracey were very helpful leading up to the holiday and Jackie who met us gave us a lot of information and was very responsive to any additional questions.
