Santiago de la ribera

Hotel El Marino opened its doors on 13 June 1998. It is a small family-run hotel with a seafaring heritage. It has only 16 rooms and this, together with the staff, makes guests feel at home. Since its opening, hundreds of people have stayed there and have had the chance to enjoy a pleasant stay.

It is located on the beachfront, facing the calm and warm waters of the Mar Menor, where guests can enjoy pleasant swims, as well as stroll along its recently inaugurated promenade. It is also centrally located, so you will be able to find many shops around you, to cover any need that may arise.

The hotel has a restaurant (external service of the hotel) and has 16 rooms spread over two floors, which gives it a cosy and homely atmosphere. It has 10 exterior double rooms (8 of which have sea views and en-suite bathrooms with walk-in showers) and 6 single rooms.
All rooms are equipped with the following services:

Wifi connection.
Television.
Telephone.
Bathroom.
Individual heating / air conditioning.
Refrigerator.

If you stay at our hotel, you can eat in the restaurant on the ground floor, which in March 2016 began to be managed by the family known for being the owner of the Lonja Mar Menor, which was demolished at the beginning of the same year, so you can taste typical dishes and fresh fish of the highest quality.

Its location is excellent, as it is well connected to both the Murcia Region International Airport (Corvera, 37 km) and the Balsicas Train Station (18 km).

One of Murcia's main tourist attractions is its coastline, known as the Costa Cálida. Its 250 kilometres of coastline are divided between the Mar Menor and the Mediterranean, offering a multitude of beaches where it is possible to practice a wide variety of water sports: sailing, windsurfing, canoeing, water skiing, scuba diving, etc. It has a rich landscape and environment protected through its regional parks. Golden sandy beaches, dunes and unspoilt coves along the coastline are the panoramas to be found in the Salinas y Arenales de San Pedro del Pinatar, Calblanque, Monte de las Cenizas and Peña del Águila, and Cabo Cope and Puntas de Calnegre.

The Mar Menor has 73 km of coastline with a succession of beaches of transparent, shallow waters and a surface area of 170 km2, which makes the Mar Menor lagoon the largest saltwater lake in Europe.
The average annual temperature is 20 ºC, with sea temperatures ranging between 17 and 28 ºC. All these characteristics make this sea the largest natural spa in Europe.

It is known for the curative properties of its water, which is warmer and more saline than the Mediterranean Sea and is also appreciated for the shallowness of its waters, making it an excellent place for families with children.

We hope you enjoy these places, although there are many more to visit and discover in this unique environment, which is the Region of Murcia.
