Almerimar holidays

Almerimar

Holidays to Almerimar serve up everything from watersports to al fresco concerts in the sunniest spot on the Costa de Almeria.

The sunniest spot in Andalucia

Almerimar is the sunniest town in Andalucia, putting away 3,000 hours of sunshine a year. And as a purpose-built resort, it makes the most of its suntrap spot in the deep south of Spain. A marina settles between two beaches, which between them rack up 13 kilometres of sand-and-shingle. Sports are king here, so you also get watersports shacks, plus green plots that tick off a 27-hole golf course, canoeing lake and horse stables. Lively Roquetas de Mar is a half-hour drive away, too.

San Miguel Beach

Almerimar Marina cracks San Miguel Beach in two. Westerly Poniente Beach is a broad belt of sand-and-shingle with plenty of elbow room for sunloungers and watersports. Meanwhile, Levante Beach sweeps out from the east arm of the marina, followed by a spick-and-span promenade that rolls out to the sandy wetlands of the Punta Entinas-Sabinar nature reserve.

Almerimar marina and golf course

There’s a healthy glow to Almerimar. That’s partly down to the 1,000-berth marina that set up shop in the Eighties. Here, sailing gear stocks the boutiques, tapas bars plate up locally-caught tuna, and cafés whip up hand-crafted ice-cream. And they’re all within view of the gleaming yachts that bob in the harbour. Elsewhere, Tiburon Plaza hosts volleyball games, while Golf Almerimar lays out a 27-hole course with Mediterranean views.

Daytrips to Roquetas del Mar

A collage of fruit-filled greenhouses frames Almerimar. Drive 35 minutes east through this surreal landscape, and you’ll come across lively Roquetas del Mar. This place is a beach town with a kick, so as well as a supersized seafront promenade, you get a Moorish old town and an old-world fisherman’s port.
