The Costa Almeria around Mojacar is one of the sunniest and driest stretches of mainland Spain, which is a big part of its appeal for UK families and couples. You get dependable sunshine, long open beaches and a relaxed pace, with the charming hilltop old town of Mojacar set just behind the coast.

It is an easy place to slow down. The resorts are low key compared with the busier costas, and the warm, dry climate keeps the holiday season long.

Where to stay on Costa Almeria

Best Mojacar is a 4 star beachfront resort in Mojacar, Almeria, overlooking the Mediterranean, so you can step almost straight from your room onto the sand.

Getting there and when to go

Almeria airport is closest, with Alicante and Murcia options for a longer drive, all served by UK flights. Thanks to the dry climate the area is pleasant from spring into autumn, with the hottest weather and warmest sea in July and August.

Beaches and resorts

The coastline here offers long beaches of sand and shingle backed by a promenade, with quieter coves to discover nearby. Up the hill, the old village of Mojacar rewards visitors with white-washed lanes, little shops and far-reaching views.

Food and things to do

Expect fresh fish, tapas, grilled meats and local wine in friendly seafront restaurants. Between beach days you can wander the old town, take coastal walks and explore the broader Almeria region at your own pace.

Who it suits

This part of Costa Almeria suits sun seekers, couples and families who want good beaches and a quieter, more authentic Spain rather than full-on resort nightlife.
