Just a 40 minute drive from Almeria Airport is a delightful Spanish coastal
resort; Almerimar is the playground for the rich in this province of Spain.
Boasting the second largest marina in Europe, one of the most established
golf courses and a great Blue flag beach, Almerimar is the perfect location
for both families and couples. It also gives access direct access to the
Sierra Nevada where within an hour you can be in the heart of the mountains,
meaning that from November to early March you could literally be skiing in
the morning and on the beach for the afternoon.
Almerimar Marina with berths for over 1000 yachts is one of the largest on
the southern coast of Spain. The Marina area is the focus for all the local
shops and the supermarket. There are also banks, car rental and shops. There
are a wide variety of restaurants from good value tasty Spanish Tapas,
Chinese, Italian and English to gourmet seafood served overlooking the
marina.
Unknown to most people, the ancient Andalusian province of Almeria, with its
200 miles of virtually undeveloped coastline, lies in the Southeast corner
of Spain, less than 100 miles from the coast of North Africa. The area
enjoys the warmest and sunniest climate in the whole of Europe with mid-day
temperatures in January averaging 69F and in July and August 99F at least;
with the sun shining for more than 320 days in the year.
It is also a great location for a golf break – and maybe skiing too!
Experienced golfers hold the Andalucia area in extremely highly esteem. Almerimar Golf Course, the oldest in the area (25 years), was designed by
Gary Player. Its 27 holes are fun and challenging, it is 1 kilometre from
Laguna and has good club house/pro’s shop facilities. Within 20 minutes
drive are two other courses; La Envia, a stunning course built in a mountain
basin surrounded by sophisticated houses and a 5 star hotel. Playa Serena at
Roquetas de Mar is a good quality holiday golf course. About an hour’s drive
away – straight along the excellent fast motorway – are a further 3
wonderful courses; Valle del Este, Desert Springs and Mojacar Marina, all
offering top quality golf.
Almerimar is only 1.5 hour’s drive from the famous Sierra Nevada ski resort,
straight along the fast un-crowded motorways. The skiing complex is large
with a wide variety of excellent ski runs, from challenging black runs to
simpler nursery slopes. There are a large number of cable cars and tow bars,
with excellent catering in the ski village and at the top of the mountain.
Roquetas de Mar is a very popular resort set against the mountain backdrop
with a fine, un-crowded beach stretching for many miles? Although modern, it
still preserves its classic Spanish charm and authentic atmosphere. With
many excellent restaurants serving mouth watering Spanish specialties, as
well as lively bars, bustling shops and a bustling fishing harbour, Roquetas
has something for everyone including children.
