Holiday Rental Apartment Description

The La Manga Strip has a unique position in Europe, between two Seas, the Mediterranean Sea and the crystal clear waters of the Mar Menor. The apartment is located overlooking the largest marina in the area, near the tip of the strip.

The marina has many excellent restaurants and bars and from here you can take boat trips, hire boats, go on a diving trip or take the foot ferry across the Mar Menor.

Long stretches of unspoilt beaches and the famous therapeutic mud are only a few hundred metres away, and a great variety of water sports close by.

The apartment has a wide balcony (one of only seven apartments in the building which have wide balconies directly overlooking the marina), full air conditioning, underfloor heating, two double bedrooms with balcony and great views, a fitted kitchen and two bathrooms.

Historic Cartagena is 30 mins away with great shopping, attractions and Roman monuments.

This part of Spain is famous for its salt lakes (salt is a major export). This has a major knock on effect on humidity levels, and as a result the air is much dryer than in other parts of Spain & Europe. The low humidity levels coupled with a mild climate, means the WHO (World Health Organisation) have rated this part of Spain one of the healthiest climates on the planet.

The Mar Menor is an immense lake of warm, tranquil salt water, rich in salts and iodine and noted for its therapeutic properties. The waters are a magnificent natural swimming pool with temperatures maintained by a sun that shines for an average of 320 days each year. The maximum depth of 6.5m makes it an ideal location to enjoy the many water sports available.

The two distinct seas, soft breezes, sunny days and significant sporting infrastructures makes La Manga a water sports paradise. No one need travel far to practice their water sport ; sailing, diving, water skiing, kite surfing, windsurfing, jet skiing and most other nautical sports.

Apart from the water sports, La Manga offers a great variety of other activities to suit all tastes such as horse riding, fishing, hang-gliding, walking and bird watching at the nearby nature reserves. Blue flag beaches and boat trips also make this a favourite place for all the family. There are boat trips from the marina to local islands in both the Med and the Mar Menor. One of the boats (which sails past the apartment) has a glass bottom to view the marine life.

The world famous La Manga Club is 20 minutes drive away with many quality golf courses close by including DeVere Roda Golf, La Serena and Hacienda del Alamo. There are tennis clubs with courts open to the public all year round, plus paddle tennis and squash. In addition there is a roller-skating rink and full size go-kart track. The road which runs through La Manga has been built with a cycle-lane and there’s an absence of hills throughout the strip. You can hire cycles which will be delivered directly to the apartment.

The historic cities of Cartagena (30 mins away) and Murcia (60 mins drive) are well worth visiting for the shopping, Roman monuments and sightseeing. Cartagena is full of interesting architecture, has many museums, and an historic marina with tourist trips around the harbour. The shopping in the historic centre is great, and Cartagena also has an upmarket Corte Ingles department store.

There are small towns nearby for sightseeing and shopping including Los Belones and Santiago de la Ribera. You can take the foot ferry from the marina to Santiago de la Ribera, the Spanish version of the Red Arrows practices here.

Further afield you can take a scenic tour through the local mountains or visit the flamingos at the San Pedro salt lakes.
You don't need a car to enjoy a holiday here since buses run up and down the strip all day and there are bus services to the local towns such as Los Belones and Cartagena.

Relax and enjoy - in La Manga you can rest, practice sport and also get to know the local history, or participate in the traditional fiestas of the area, the choice is yours.

There are frequent low cost flights to both Murcia's San Javier and Alicante airports from many UK airports. Murcia Airport is a 40 minute drive and Alicante is 90 minutes. Taxis and car hire are available at both airports and airport transfers can be arranged.

If you haven't booked your flights yet I would recommend flightchecker.moneysavingexpert.com and skyscanner.net.

If you are considering car hire then I would recommend www.premiercarjet.com and travelsupermarket.com.

It is not necessary to hire a car since we are just a couple of minutes walk from a well stocked supermarket (ideal for self-catering), coffee shops, bakery and several restaurants and bars. The beaches are only a few minutes walk away. Next to us you will find a 5 star luxury spa hotel where you can drop in for a cocktail at the bar, a meal in the panoramic top floor restaurant or a luxury spa treatment.

The marina is an easy 20 minute stroll away (or hop on the convenient local bus for one very short stop) with a variety of excellent restaurants and bars. Boat trips and the foot ferry depart from the marina and you can also take diving trips from here or hire boats. If you wish to go sightseeing or shopping in Cartagena or Murcia you can catch a bus from the strip. There is a bus stop a few hundred yards from the apartment and buses run a regular circular route along the strip for only 1 euro. If you wish to hire a cycle it will be delivered to your door.
