A closer Google map: Eden del Mar
Villamartin area
The area is well equipped with amenities: banks, shops, a Spanish supermarket, hairdressers, opticians, bars, restaurants and a large garden centre. Torrevieja – only a 15 minute drive away – has everything else you might need.
Eden del Mar couldn’t be easier to get to. It’s just over 20 minutes drive from Murcia airport and around 40 minutes from Alicante airport, both of which offer cheap flights to and from the UK and the rest of Europe on a daily basis.. You can book low cost flights on www.skyscanner.net.
Ryanair, Easyjet and Flybe all fly into either of these airports from many UK local airports.
Car Hire can be arranged in advance with many companies operating out of both airports – We can recommend seaching for competitive car hire via holidayautos.co.uk
If you are not renting a car, then there are local buses and taxis that can be used. Bus timetables and taxi information can be found in the apartment.
