Villas in Almería Province

Apartments for rent in the province of Almeria

Southeast of the Iberian peninsula in Adalucia lies the sun-drenched province of Almeria, bordered by Granada Province, Murcia and the Mediterranean Sea. The nearest and main airport is Almeria Airport, with direct flights to the UK typically taking 2 hours 45 minutes. Our holiday properties in Almería Province put you in the heart of it all; the glorious beaches of the Costa de Almeria, Moorish remains of Almería city, the hiking and cycling trails of the Sierra Nevada and award-winning golf clubs like Desert Springs in Cuevas del Almanzora.

Boasting serene mountain valleys, a rugged coast, secluded coves and wide sweeps of golden sand, its unspoiled natural parks and vast desert dunes of Tabernas – the only desert in Europe, is a real paradise for adventurers. Nowadays, its landscape stars in wild west movies, attracting tourists who come to see its spectacular Mini Hollywood theme parks with their spaghetti western simulations. Almeria is an ideal destination for families, couples and sun-worshippers alike. Visit its zoo or museum, or why not discover the stunning desert landscape on horseback. The pool areas are dotted with its busy bars overlooking a sensational slice of desert backdrop – a welcome respite from the heat of the day.

With plenty of cultural gems to keep you busy, from museums to the fascinating architecture, take a stroll along La Rambla, a wide, tree-lined avenue bustling with street cafes, shops, fountains and play areas for children. Head west and admire the tranquil squares and Medieval buildings of the old town. The east side offers an abundance of culture, from the art galleries to the stylish boutiques.

The northern region of the province of Almeria is home to eight natural parks; some of the most impressive on the peninsula. The Sierra Nevada’s magnificent landscape is comprised of deep valleys, lakes and hilly peaks, while Sierra Marí-Los Vélez’s beautiful snowy mountaintop provides the perfect backdrop for winter. Venture off the beaten track and enjoy bird watching, horse riding or a romantic sunset stroll along the blue Mediterranean at Punta Entinas-Sabinar Natural Park. Discover the underground treasures of the Sorbas Caves, with their crystals, stalactites and stalagmites. After a day of sightseeing and outdoor exploring, the capital and port city, Almería, offers a welcome contrast of urban energy with its busy promenade, museums, buzzing tapas bars and children's playground Parque de las Familias. Don't leave without seeing the city's cultural gem - 10th century Alcazaba of Almeria fortress, dominating the skyline; a symbol of the region's fascinating Arab past.

Rent an apartment near the beach to make the most of the glorious sunshine of the Costa de Almeria; most notably the Blue Flag beaches of Cabo de Gata-Níjar Natural Park, and the coastal resorts of Mojácar, Almerimar, Roquetas de Mar, Aguadulce and Vera, offering an abundance of water sports, fine sand and calm, child-friendly waters. Take a break from the coast and surprise your kids with a visit to Roquetas Aquarium with its underwater tunnels and exotic species of marine life. Or make a splash at nearby Mario Park. Head further east along the coast all the way to Garrucha where you'll find Aqua Vera Water Park boasting water slides, play pools and a lively selection of bars and restaurants.
