Mar Menor

Mar Menor holidays

If golf, yachts and exclusive spots sound like your sort of holiday, then Mar Menor is made for you. Sitting pretty alongside Europe’s biggest saltwater lagoon, this is the perfect place to get a taste of the good life under the Spanish sun.

Lagoon life

The warm, shallow waters and sandy banks of the Mar Menor lagoon have lazy days of swimming and sunbathing written all over them. It’s also a top spot for boating, not to mention migrating flamingos that flock to the salt flats. Fancy an open-air spa? Hit the mineral-rich mud at La Puntica for a DIY face mask.

Get into the swing

With year-round sunshine and t-shirt temperatures, there’s no nicer place to tee off. The GNK Golf circuit is made up of six first-class courses including the Alhama Signature, which was designed by golfing legend Jack Nicklaus. You’ll also find the world-famous Real Golf La Manga Club towards the southern end of the shoreline.

See and be seen

The swanky yacht clubs lining the lagoon are a good place to start if you want to get in with the sailing set. In the chic, palm-lined fishing village of Los Alcázares, there’s plenty of opportunity for waterfront wining and dining. And across cross the water is La Manga, where A-list celebs come for their love of all things luxury. Champers, anyone?
