Villas in Murcia, Spain

A holiday in one of our Murcia villas has no limits - with over 150 miles of coastline divided between the Mar Menor and the Mediterranean, you will have endless beaches at your fingertips. Known as the ‘garden of Spain’ with ‘huertos’ (gardens) dating back to the Moorish period, this place is brimming with vineyards in the Bullas district, and has many hidden gems such as the natural thermal spa dating back to the Roman period in Archena. The theme of wellness extends beyond its ancient thermal baths; the place is known for its availability of wellness centres, with many of the beaches considered to be spas themselves thanks to the salty waters of the Mar Menor and the detoxifying properties of its mud. Not only that, but the Costa Cálida awaits you with culture, history, heritage, excellent gastronomy, wine tourism and more. The salt flats of San Pedro del Pinatar are frequented by white flamingos in the summertime, and this is home to some of the most clandestine beaches and coves in Spain. Finding Murcia holiday rentals will never be a problem again - you can’t ask for more! Everything is possible from one of our Murcia holiday villas. Imagine waking up looking out to the sea, or enjoying breakfast on the terrace of your villa or apartment with enviable views of the Med.

Alternatively, we recommend that you get to know the wines of the province and travel around as much as possible to really get to know this beautiful region during your stay in a Murcia villa.
