Where to Stay in Mazarrón
Mazarrón is a sunny corner of the Costa Cálida, and each area suits a different holiday. Puerto de Mazarrón is the lively harbour, with beaches, seafood restaurants and plenty of hotels. Bolnuevo is quieter and perfect for relaxed beach days near striking rock formations. Meanwhile, Mazarrón town sits inland and works well for budget stays and local life. Whichever you pick, plan ahead. You should book accommodation well in advance if you visit in summer, at Easter or during school holidays. Many of the best places fill up early. Our Mazarrón guide has more ideas for your trip.
