1. A home from home environment

When families book a private villa with pool in Murcia, they can benefit from a relaxed home from home environment, and stay in a villa that caters for all their holiday needs. Most villas offer a superb selection of modern comforts including: cable TV with British channels, i.e. the BBC and ITV, dishwashers, microwaves, kettles, toasters, internet access, safes, CD and DVD players and iPod docking stations. On top of this, nearly all villas have the added bonus of a private pool and fenced garden to keep those little excitable monkeys within safe view of their parents or guardians.

A number of villas in Murcia also offer additional facilities such as table tennis, golf clubs, luxurious Jacuzzis and heated pools for the cooler winters months and, of course, the all-important BBQ for alfresco year-round dining. A family villa with pool in Murcia allows you to completely relax and to do what you want to do, when you want, with no hotel strict meal times to follow or pool opening times that dictate your day; and you don’t have to worry about other guests hogging the sun loungers; well all except for mum that is.

2. Luxury golf resorts with great family facilities

Murcia offers a plethora of great-value villas with pools on prestigious five-star golf resorts including Polaris World’s Mar Menor Golf Resort, La Torre Golf Resort and El Valle Golf Resort. Aside from the world-renowned La Manga Hotel and Golf Club, famous for it’s tennis coaching and winter football training, the majority of newly established golf resorts in Murcia offer a superb selection of bars, restaurants and other on-site facilities and services including supermarkets, gift shops, spa treatments, coffee shops and hair and beauty salons, some even have travel shops selling local beach and waterpark excursions as well as kids’ clubs, nightly entertainment, in the forms of bands or discos, and of course brilliant sports facilities from 18-hole golf courses, tennis courts and gyms. Other popular family resorts in Murcia offering villas with pools include Pereleja Golf, United Golf La Tercia, Roda Golf Club & Beach Resort and La Serena Golf.

3. Affordable villas with pools in Murcia

Perhaps the most influential factor for families choosing Murcia for a family summer holiday is the overwhelming fact that villas are still considerably cheaper than other Spanish Costas. When you compare the average weekly peak season price for a family 3 bed villa with pool in Murcia (£800-£950) to a similar property on the Costa Brava, Costa del Sol or Costa Blanca through popular holiday rentals websites like the UK’s Holiday Lettings.co.uk, villa prices are on average between £200-500 more expensive; the most pricey villas being on the Costa Brava and Costa del Sol. If booked in advance direct flights to Murcia’s San Javier Airport can also be pretty reasonable for large family bookings too, so it’s always recommended to book in advance, and while you’re doing that book your Murcia car hire earlytoo to benefit from the best rates and choice of vehicles.

4. Murcia’s wonderful year-round climate

It is hard to deny that Murcia doesn’t have an enviable year-round climate; with 2800 glorious hours of sunshine each year, clear blue skies and an average temperature of 19-20 degrees Celsius; temperatures during July and August can often reach between a scorching 35-40 degrees Celsius. In turn the intense heat brings hoards of sun worshippers to the Costa Calida’s beaches and the calm, tepid waters of Murcia’s Mar Menor sea. Popular with Spaniards and British alike, it is easy to see why the region of Murcia is still the agricultural heart of Spain and is fast-becoming a popular villa holiday hotspot for Brits.

5. Murcia’s great beaches, cities and countryside to explore

To complete the picture, Murcia’s great climate and great-value villa holidays go hand in hand with its cultural and recreational pursuits. The region’s glorious capital, Murcia City, offers an ornate cathedral and cosmopolitan vibe, and is dotted with fashionable shops and sun-drenched plazas bursting with alfresco cafes that offer an alternative retreat to sunny days sent by the villa pool. If that wasn’t enough, Murcia’s villa brigade can explore the region’s 73 kilometers of coastline and make the most of all the fast-paced watersports on offer or simply soak up the sun along the Mar Menor’s safe sandy beaches of Los Alcazares, San Javier or San Pedro del Pinatar. For those villa pool dwellers looking for a change of scenery, the rolling country landscapes Murcia’s Sierra Espuna and surrounding villages provide a rural haven for walkers, hikers and mountain bikers alike, especially during the months of spring when wild meadow flowers burst to life, and it can be found just over an hour’s drive from Murcia’s golf resorts.
