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.

It's not the hotel's fault but there was a constant sewer smell in the surroundings.
No es culpa del hotel pero habia olor a cloaca incesante en los alrededores.

8.9 Paula Travelled with couple September 2025 The only downside is the location, which is a bit remote, so you need to take the car if you want to go anywhere. If you don't mind staying at the hotel, you can have a great time there. However, the nearest beach to the hotel is not suitable for swimming.
Lo único es la ubicación que está un poco en la nada y si quieres ir a algún sitio tienes que coger el coche. Si no te quieres mover del hotel sin problema puedes estar allí muy bien. Eso sí, la playa más cercana al hotel no es para bañarse.

8.6 David Travelled with couple September 2025 The buffet is very rich and varied, with drinks included and very wide restaurant hours, the pools are very good and clean.
El bufet muy rico y variado , con la bebida incluida y los horarios del restaurante muy amplios, las piscinas muy bien y limpias
On the terrace, having plastic cups and 2-liter bottle soft-drinks placed at night, I see it as normal if you're on an all-inclusive deal, but if you're paying 8.5 euros for a drink, I don't think it's right.
Que en la terraza que hay, por la noche te pongan vasos de plástico y refresco de botella de 2 litros, lo veo normal si estás en todo incluido, pero si pagas 8,5 euros por la copa no lo veo bien
