This distinguished residential community in the Region of Murcia offers far more than championship golf courses, elite sports facilities, and a wide array of dining and leisure choices. Here, a thriving international community enjoys a lifestyle that blends comfort, exclusivity, and the unspoilt beauty of one of Spain’s most remarkable natural treasures: the Calblanque Regional Park. Just a stone’s throw from our properties, this protected coastal paradise is home to pristine golden beaches, crystal-clear waters, scenic walking trails, and extraordinary biodiversity.

Investing in La Manga Club is about more than acquiring a property in one of Europe’s most established resort destinations, it’s about securing a lifestyle. A lifestyle with natural surroundings, tranquillity, and the delight of waking up in a setting so picturesque it calls for the camera to come out time and again. Here are five unmissable highlights of Calblanque; the places that make every visit an experience to remember.

Pristine Beaches

The beaches within the Calblanque Regional Park are among the most unspoiled on the Murcian coast. Free from large-scale development, the area has preserved its raw, natural beauty. Calblanque Beach is one of the most iconic, with sweeping stretches of golden sand and crystal-clear waters, perfect for relaxing under the sun. For those in search of a quieter spot, secluded coves such as Cala Arturo, Playa Negrete, Cala de las Mulas, and Cala Dorada each offer their own unique character. Extending 26 kilometres from Cabo de Palos to Portmán, this stunning stretch of coastline is rich with hidden gems, well away from the hubbub of mass tourism.

Hiking in Monte de las Cenizas

For those with a taste for adventure, Monte de las Cenizas offers a rewarding experience that blends natural beauty with a touch of history. As you make your way along its scenic trails, you pass through fragrant pine woods and Mediterranean scrubland before reaching the striking Batería de las Cenizas. This former military stronghold, a fascinating remnant of the past, still houses its imposing artillery and commands sweeping views across the deep blue Mediterranean. The route is also rich in distinctive plant life, including the sabina morisca and the rare Cartagena cypress (tetraclinis articulata), a species native to this area and found only in a handful of locations across eastern Spain.

Native Flora and Fauna

Calblanque is a genuine sanctuary for biodiversity. The park hosts a wide variety of native flora, including Carrasco pine, cornical, and sea lilies, which together paint the landscape with bursts of colour and natural fragrance. Its fauna is equally rich: birdwatchers can spot species such as peregrine falcons, tawny owls, little owls, and flamingos, particularly around the Salinas del Rasall. The area is also home to a range of mammals, including foxes, badgers, and wild boar, which coexist alongside reptiles such as the common chameleon. Remarkably, in recent years, Calblanque has become a nesting ground for the loggerhead sea turtle – a rare and significant event that highlights the park’s vital ecological role.

Salinas del Rasall

The Salinas del Rasall form a distinctive wetland ecosystem within the park. This natural haven is a hotspot for birdwatchers, offering sightings of flamingos, avocets, and stilts. Its waters reflect in shades of pink and white, creating a striking contrast against the deep blue of the sea and the surrounding green vegetation. The result is a truly photogenic setting which is easily captured without the need of any professional equipment.

Cycling Routes and Water Sports

Calblanque is not only a haven of peace, but also a playground for outdoor and adventure lovers. Its network of trails is ideal for mountain biking, weaving through coastal scrub and along dramatic cliffs with breathtaking sea views. When the Lebeche wind comes in to the shoreline, the beaches become a paradise for water sports enthusiasts: surfing, windsurfing, kitesurfing and wing foiling all enjoy the perfect conditions for a thrilling, wind-powered escape.

From its vast golden beaches to its trails that wind between mountains and cliffs, the Calblanque Regional Park invites slow exploration and contemplation. Just minutes from our resort, its proximity adds further value to buying property at La Manga Club. Living here offers a chance to adopt a lifestyle in perfect balance with nature while enjoying all the comforts and amenities of an established residential community, all just minutes from your ideal Mediterranean getaway. Now that you’ve uncovered the secrets of this coastal treasure, get ready to call it home.
