Affordable beach front accommodation in the heart of Murcia golf and water sports country!

La Encarnación tourist apartments in Los Alcázares The accommodation offered for rental by Apartamentos La Encarnación in the heart of Los Alcázares are a great opportunity for visitors to the Costa Cálida to enjoy the very best of the Mar Menor and surrounding area all year round, and at extremely affordable prices.

Guests are accommodated in the apartments located on the seafront next to the historic Hotel La Encarnación, which was built in the early 20^th century to cater for the emerging spa tourism market and is now the oldest hotel still open in the Region of Murcia. This area remains much favoured by expats from the UK and other northern European countries and all of the apartments are a short stone’s throw of the Mar Menor, the largest saltwater lagoon in Europe, making these true front-line beach properties!

Most of them have two bedrooms and can comfortably sleep 4, while 1- and 3-bedroom options are also available, and special year-round discount prices are available for readers of Murcia Today and associated pages by simply quoting the reference “MURCIA TODAY” when booking! (65€ for 1-bed, 85€ for 2-bed, 115€ for 3-bed, all prices per night).

All apartments are fully equipped with electrical appliances, kitchenware, bathroom and bed linen, and although they are self-catering guests often prepare to eat out locally at extremely affordable prices – Los Alcázares is not one of those beach resorts which closes down for the off season, and most restaurants are open all year round both in the town centre and in Los Narejos.

La Encarnación tourist apartments in Los Alcázares At the same time, they are within a short drive of at least 25 golf courses, right in the heart of Costa Cálida golf country and only slightly further from the southern Costa Blanca. The most prestigious courses are arguably those at La Manga Club and Hacienda del Álamo (both around half an hour by car) while the closest are those of La Serena, Mar Menor Golf Resort and Roda Golf, all just a 10-minute drive away. If you venture just slightly further north the options include Lo Romero, Villamartín, Las Ramblas and Las Colinas, all providing stiff challenges for all levels of golfer!

But don’t imagine that the sporting activities in the area are limited to golf! The calm waters and prevailing breezes in the Mar Menor make for ideal conditions in which to learn water sports, including sailing and kiteboarding, and plenty of aquatic sports centres are available along the inland shore of the lagoon all year round for those wishing to try their hand at mastering the seas!

La Encarnación tourist apartments in Los Alcázares Whatever your preferences while visiting the Mar Menor area, the La Encarnación apartments in Los Alcázares and Los Narejos give you a comfortable, practical and affordable place to stay while enjoying the many delights of the Costa Cálida!
