Bungalows for long-term rent in Mil Palmeras

Mil Palmeras is a compact beach resort on the coast of Pilar de la Horadada, the southernmost town of the Costa Blanca, sitting between upmarket Campoamor and the fishing village of Torre de la Horadada. Its long sandy beach and palm-lined seafront have made it a favourite with Spanish families for decades, and in recent years it has become one of the busiest new-build hotspots on the southern Costa Blanca. Property for sale in Mil Palmeras ranges from older beachside bungalows to modern apartments and penthouses with rooftop solariums, most within walking distance of the sand and close to both Murcia and Alicante airports.

The name means a thousand palms, and the palm-fringed seafront is exactly what you see first. Playa de Mil Palmeras is a wide, sandy beach with gently shelving water and has regularly been awarded the Blue Flag. It has lifeguards in season, beach bars and easy access from the promenade, which makes it a practical beach for families with small children and for older residents.

Walk north and you reach the coves and beaches of Campoamor; head south and you are soon at the beaches and small marina of Torre de la Horadada. Within about 15 minutes by car are the calm, warm waters of the Mar Menor lagoon at San Pedro del Pinatar, a real bonus in spring and autumn when the open sea can feel cool.
