Playamar, Retamar

Playamar in Retamar, Spain, is a small, calm base for beach days and slower evenings, with a strong guest score of 9.7/10 from 11 reviews. The property’s setting on Camino del Encaje, in Portal 6, 3E, suits travelers who want to be close to the shoreline without being in the middle of a busy town. Expect practical comfort: air conditioning helps you settle quickly after a warm afternoon, and the hotel is non-smoking throughout. There’s also a swimming pool on site, plus access to a nearby outdoor pool for a change of scene. If you like keeping active, the exercise/lap pool is a useful extra when you don’t want to head straight to the beach.

Reviewers repeatedly mention the quiet feel and the ease of getting to the coast, which makes Playa Retamar and Amoladeras Beach natural choices for early swims or sunset walks. For day trips, Cabo de Gata Natural Park is about 15 km away, giving you a clear route to dramatic coastal landscapes and viewpoints. Some guests also note that parking is manageable, with offsite parking discounted rates available and covered parking for added convenience.

Best for couples and families who value a serene atmosphere, pool time, and straightforward access to Retamar’s beaches, while still having the option to explore the wider Cabo de Gata area when the weather is right.
