Dip into Europe’s new £43m campsite

Marjal Costa Blanca

A 5,000 square metre lagoon pool is the highlight of a new £43 million campsite in Spain which claims to be the best in Europe. Check it out for yourself with EuroParcs, the first UK company to launch its own self-catering accommodation at the super Marjal Costa Blanca near Alicante.

EuroParcs has invested more than £86,000 on luxurious two and three-bedroom mobile homes, all with decking, air conditioning, satellite TV and fully equipped for up to six people. Seven nights start from £295 per home outside of school holidays and from £665 in August, including access to indoor and outdoor pools, a spa, sports and kids’ clubs.

Rod Jones of EuroParcs said: “In recent years Alicante has seen growth in villa holidays, but this means families have lost out on the great range of facilities that come with camping resorts. Hotels fill that gap, but good quality ones are expensive when compared to self-catering campsites. Marjal Costa Blanca fully opened last season and has all the benefits of a brand new, purpose built camping resort. The site is by far and away the best on the Costa Blanca, and we’ve seen few that compare across Europe.”

Marjal is next to a designated nature park of pine, palm and eucalyptus trees that is home to an enormous amount of wildlife, and there is 12kms of wide, white-sand beaches at the nearby town of Guardamar, accessible with a free bus service running from the park. Guardamar has a choice of watersports including sailing, windsurfing, water-skiing, scuba diving, canoeing and jet skiing. Golfers are spoilt for choice with three courses nearby.

Marjal Costa Blanca is only 25 minutes from Alicante airport and 45 minutes from Murcia, making it easily accessible with several low cost airlines from a number of UK airports. Ryanair fares, based on May 1 departure and returning on the 8th, start from: Stansted to Alicante – £77 per person, from Bristol £94, Manchester £66 and Glasgow £102.
