Destination
La Manga del Mar Menor is a unique coastal strip in the Region of Murcia that separates the Mediterranean Sea from the Mar Menor lagoon. With over 20 kilometres of beaches on both sides, calm, warm waters and a wide range of leisure activities, it's the perfect destination for families, water sports enthusiasts and anyone looking for a sun-soaked holiday.
Top attractions:
- Mar Menor Lagoon: Europe’s largest saltwater lagoon. Thanks to its calm, shallow waters, it is ideal for swimming, kayaking, sailing and other water sports.
- Puerto Deportivo Tomás Maestre: The main marina, offering a variety of restaurants, bars, and boat excursions.
- Salinas de San Pedro del Pinatar: nearby salt flats and a natural park with walking trails and opportunities to spot flamingos.
- The iconic Faro de Cabo de Palos lighthouse offers breathtaking views of the Mediterranean and is located at the southern end of La Manga.
- The small islands of Isla del Barón and Isla Perdiguera are perfect for boat trips and snorkelling.
Best beaches in La Manga del Mar Menor:
- Playa de Levante: Facing the Mediterranean with fine golden sand and slightly stronger waves — great for a refreshing swim.
- Playa de Galúa: This wide, lively beach has beach bars (chiringuitos), water sports and excellent facilities.
- Playa de la Cala del Pino: A small, sheltered cove with shallow waters, ideal for families with young children.
- Playa Honda: Located at the southern end, this peaceful beach has warm, shallow waters and fewer crowds.
Family-friendly activities:
- Water sports schools: There are numerous centres offering sailing, windsurfing, paddleboarding and kayaking for all levels.
- Go-karting in La Manga: A fun and safe karting track for children and adults.
- Aquopolis Torrevieja (nearby): A water park with slides and pools suitable for all the family.
- Mini golf and amusement parks: Several small parks along the strip offer mini golf, bumper cars and family rides.
- Boat excursions: Family-friendly boat tours around the Mar Menor and nearby islands.
Local Gastronomy:
- Caldero del Mar Menor: The region’s signature rice and fish stew, rich in flavour and history.
- Langostinos del Mar Menor: Locally caught prawns, considered a delicacy thanks to their sweet, tender flavour.
- Mojama: Salt-cured tuna, often served as a tapa with almonds and olive oil.
- Tapas bars offer the chance to sample local favourites such as michirones (spicy broad bean stew), grilled octopus and marineras (anchovies and Russian salad on breadsticks).
- Murcian Wines: Try local wines from Jumilla, Yecla or Bullas to accompany your meal.
Nearby attractions:
- Cabo de Palos: A charming fishing village with excellent diving spots and fresh seafood restaurants.
- Cartagena: This historic port city boasts Roman ruins, museums and a beautiful harbour, and is just 30 minutes away.
- Murcia City: The regional capital is known for its impressive cathedral, historic squares and vibrant tapas scene.
- Calblanque Natural Park: Pristine, undeveloped beaches and hiking trails make this the perfect place for nature lovers seeking tranquillity.
- Los Alcázares: Another resort town on the Mar Menor, offering more beaches, promenades and family-friendly activities.

Me gustaría decir que todo fue perfecto, quiero dar las gracias a todo el equipo del hotel, empezando por la recepción, la limpieza y al equipo de cocina junto con los camareros de sala. Mi pareja y yo seguimos una dieta deportiva y la cocina se adaptó a nuestra alimentación, todo un detalle y por ello os damos las gracias, volveremos y recomendamos este hotel al 100 por 100 sin duda alguna, visita obligatoria 🙂

Las habitaciones nuevas y muy limpias. Todas las instalaciones estaban muy bien, todo parecía nuevo.
Hotel muy tranquilo.
Personal amable y siempre atento
The food is improvable. Menus are quite repetitive and some dishes are not very well cooked. Lacks some animation, especially after dinner. The hotel is isolated from everything and if you want to do something after dinner, you have to take the car.
La comida es mejorable. Menús bastante repetitivos y algunos platos no muy bien cocinados.
Falta algo de animación, sobretodo después de la cena. El hotel está apartado de todo y si quieres hacer algo después de cenar tienes q coger el coche.

la habitación grande confortable y almohadas sin ácaros; las piscinas grandes y con zonas de sombra y bastantes tumbonas
The dining room, unfortunately, we were there last year and it was already bad, but they have reduced the quality and quantity of the food, for two consecutive days they told us there was no ice cream in the dining room, if this is the Barceló 4* quality.........
el comedor, de pena, estuvimos al año pasado y ya era malo, pero han recortado la calidad y cantidad de los alimentos, por dos días seguidos nos dijeron que no había helado en el comedor, si esto es la calidad Barceló 4*.........

Tres piscinas, actividades como aquagym y otras en ellas, para niños también. Comida estupenda. Personal súper atento y amable. Habitaciones amplias con terraza bien aisladas de ruidos y con colchón súper cómodo. Estoy embarazada y he descansado como nunca. Lo recomiendo 100%. Volveremos con el bebé en cuanto podamos. Es el mejor sitio para estar tranquilo y desconectar

Precioso hotel, con buenas instalaciones. Orientado a pasar fines de semana. Fuera de ellos, el hotel es casi demasiado tranquilo.
The lifeguards are a bit distrustful. The gastronomic offer is aimed at the weekend. Outside of it, the quality/quantity considerably decreases. Unfortunately, the Mar Menor is in an unworkable state.
Los socorristas, un poco desconfiados. La oferta gastronómica está orientada al fin de semana. Fuera de él, baja considerable la calidad/cantidad. El estado impracticable del Mar menor, por desgracia

Estuvimos 3 noches en el hotel con media pensión y en general todo muy bien.
El lugar es muy tranquilo y el entorno invita a desconectar.
El hotel es amplio con grandes espacios en la zona de las piscinas; las cuales están muy limpias y esa amplitud hace que corra aire.
En cuanto a las habitaciones son grandes con un baño espacioso y una terraza fantástica.
El personal es muy atento, educado y currante. No paran en todo el día.
De hecho fue mi cumpleaños y tuvieron el detalle de dejarme un regalo con una nota de felicitación en la habitación.
Relación calidad-precio el hotel es estupendo.
To put some downside, I would improve the quality of the food. And I would do some maintenance work such as painting the exterior, securing the pool railings properly, and planting some trees to give it a cozier touch.
Por poner algún pero, mejoraría la calidad de la comida.
Y haría alguna reforma de mantenimiento como pintar el exterior, anclar bien las barandillas de la piscina y poner algún árbol para darle un toque más acogedor.
