Casa Almendros de Maroma

Torre del Mar has one of the longest and widest beaches along the coast, almost 4 km of sand running the entire length of the town. There are sports facilities, such as tennis and basketball, along the splendid Paseo Marítimo plus all the usual water sports and activities.

The magnificent Paseo Marítimo is a great place for a wander, a cycle ride or just to sit and watch the world go by. There are green areas along the entire length of the promenade with fountains and play areas for children. The promenade is very flat making it excellent for cycling as well as walking, and there are special bicycle lanes. There are numerous cafes and chiringuitos, along the length of the promenade and sardines cooking on barbecues, often in specially adapted boats, are a common sight.

Nerja

Nerja is a seaside town about 30 minutes away from the villa. It is situated in the attractive foothills of the Sierra Almijara mountains and is just off the motorway - so an easy drive from Arenas.

There are 13 kms of beaches in Nerja. Burriana beach is the most famous but there are many others worth a look including Del Salon beach, Torrecilla beach and El Playazo. Go to the Balcon de Europa to enjoy the views and enjoy a meal at one of the many fine places to eat in Nerja. 

Nearby are the Nerja Caves, the Rio Chillar waterfall and the pretty village of Frigiliana. The neighbouring village of Maro has one of the best beaches in Andalucia.

The Axarquia-Costa del Sol Water Park is 20 minutes from the villa and offers fun for everyone with a variety of attractions like the Kamikaze with its 80 meters down at maximum speed!, the most spectacular soft tracks of the Costa del Sol, the amazing Wave pool or the new attraction for kids, AquaSplash.

The water park is open from mid-June to mid-September and in 2015 a day ticket was 23 euros for an adult, 17 euros for  child between 1.1m and 1.4m in height and 10 euros for a small child. Opening hours are 11 am to 6 pm (7 pm in July and August)
