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.
Taxi Fare from Alicante airport: €55 approx
Taxi Fare from Murcia airport: €35 approx
Private transfer with key collection can be arranged from either airport for €40 (Alicante) / €20 (Murcia) each way
