Diputación de Rincón de San Ginés

Rincón de San Ginés gives you the best of both watery worlds with its unique position between the Mediterranean Sea and Mar Menor lagoon. Golf enthusiasts swing clubs at La Manga Club while nature lovers explore the stunning trails of Calblanque Regional Park. Beach hoppers can bounce between the calm waters of Mar de Cristal and the pristine sands of Calblanque Beach. Seafood restaurants dish up fresh caldero rice with Mar Menor prawns, perfect after a day of kitesurfing or sailing. Accommodation ranges from beachfront hotels to apartment complexes with sea views. A car hire is your best bet for exploring this coastal paradise since public transit options are limited.

Cabo de Palos

Cabo de Palos delights visitors with its dual personality as working fishing village and seaside getaway. The iconic lighthouse watches over dramatic cliffs while hidden coves and crystal-clear waters beckon swimmers and divers. World-class diving sites at Islas Hormigas Marine Reserve showcase underwater wonders, and coastal paths wind between rocky headlands with views of both the Mediterranean Sea and Mar Menor lagoon. Fresh seafood dominates waterfront restaurants where local caldero rice dishes star on menus. While the compact village centre is easily walkable, having a hire car provides the flexibility to explore nearby beaches. Summer evenings bring a relaxed vibe perfect for sunset strolls along the marina promenade.

Cartagena Casco

Cartagena Casco reveals 3,000 years of history through its remarkably preserved Roman ruins and Punic walls. Stroll along cobblestone streets to discover the ancient Roman Theatre carved into the hillside, overlooking the sparkling Mediterranean harbour. The Naval Museum and Roman Theatre Museum showcase the city's rich maritime heritage, while modernist architecture adds unexpected flair to this walkable district. Harbour restaurants serve fresh seafood and traditional Spanish tapas as you watch boats glide into port. Boutique hotels in restored historic buildings offer rooftop terraces with sweeping views. The entire district is easily explored on foot, with the waterfront promenade providing a perfect route for soaking in sea breezes and sunset views.

La Azohia

La Azohía's peaceful beaches and crystal-clear Mediterranean waters create the perfect escape from crowded tourist spots. Playa de La Chapineta and Playa de San Ginés offer pristine swimming spots with stunning views of limestone cliffs. The historic Santa Elena Tower stands as a silent witness to the area's rich past, while coastal paths invite you to explore Cape Tiñoso's dramatic scenery. The village embraces traditional Spanish rhythms with family-run chiringuitos serving just-caught seafood and simple tapas bars where locals gather. Most visitors stay in holiday rentals or small pensiones with basic amenities focused on beach access. A hire car is essential as public transport is limited, but you can easily walk the entire village in 15 minutes.

Flawless. Absolutely beautiful building inside & out; spacious and well-styled apartment. Comfortable bed. Fantastic breakfast. Went to bed thinking 'I could live here'! Would 100% return. Street noise was fairly minimal; gentle buzz of people having a good time. The only thing I found disconcerting was bluetooth access to the building and apartment; always a bit worried as to whether I'd have issues getting back in. But that's just a mindset I need to work on. Highly recommend!

Hotel was easy to find from the motorway. Very clean and looked to have been recently refurbished. Our room was very quiet but towards the back of the hotel. About a 10 minute walk from the main old part of town with plenty of restaurants, shops & the main attractions. There were a few closer cafes and bars if you didn't want to walk all the way into town. There is a parking garage next to the hotel - 16 euros per day - or we found on street parking a couple of minutes back towards the...

Room was very clean. It’s a ground floor apartment and can be a little noisy sometimes when people come in and out of the apartment block. The apartment is located a minute away from the Roman ampitheatre . 5min walk to the harbour front, shops and restaurants. There’s no view as it faces onto the street. Room facilities were good with the exception of the shower which we found difficult to regulate the temperature.

For those planning spontaneous getaways, the Last-Minute Deals section could help you secure a budget-friendly hotel near your travel date. Additionally, the Smart Shopping tool available on the app allows you to compare hotel prices and amenities, ensuring you're more likely to find a suitable option should prices drop or vacancies arise.
Be flexible with dates: Prices may vary depending on factors like the hotel's location, star rating, and time of year, so remaining flexible with your dates may help you save on your stay in a Cartagena hotel. For those seeking unique experiences, boutique hotels can provide a more personalised service and sometimes better value. When you book with Hotels.com, we will inform you if the price for your chosen dates is above or below the average. If the price appears to be on the higher side, we may suggest alternative dates that could help you find a better deal.
Consider your location: Hotels near the city centre usually tend to be more expensive, though Cartagena's excellent public transport links mean you may find a more affordable independent hotel further out that is still well connected. For those wishing to explore alternative, less crowded neighbourhoods or even lesser-known nearby cities, there is often excellent value for money. Opting for these alternative destinations could provide a more authentic and budget-friendly experience.
