Seafood restaurants dish up fresh caldero rice with Mar Menor prawns, perfect after a day of kitesurfing or sailing. Accommodation ranges from beachfront hotels to apartment complexes with sea views.

World-class diving sites at Islas Hormigas Marine Reserve showcase underwater wonders, and coastal paths wind between rocky headlands with views of both the Mediterranean Sea and Mar Menor lagoon. Fresh seafood dominates waterfront restaurants where local caldero rice dishes star on menus.

Flawless. Absolutely beautiful building inside & out; spacious and well-styled apartment. Comfortable bed. Fantastic breakfast. Went to bed thinking 'I could live here'! Would 100% return. Street noise was fairly minimal; gentle buzz of people having a good time. The only thing I found disconcerting was bluetooth access to the building and apartment; always a bit worried as to whether I'd have issues getting back in. But that's just a mindset I need to work on. Highly recommend!

Room was very clean. It’s a ground floor apartment and can be a little noisy sometimes when people come in and out of the apartment block. The apartment is located a minute away from the Roman ampitheatre . 5min walk to the harbour front, shops and restaurants. There’s no view as it faces onto the street. Room facilities were good with the exception of the shower which we found difficult to regulate the temperature.
