How would you like to purchase your very own holiday home in the sun, waking up in the morning to see a stunning sunrise backing onto a crystal clear blue sky? Those scenes are not far away, and more affordable than ever, in Murcia, Spain.

The region has been hugely overshadowed by the popularity of both the Costa Blanca and Costa del Sol as the number one locations for second home owners in Spain but no longer: Murcia has reinvented itself, winning rave reviews from its visitors for its culture, history, climate and fantastic golf courses. Whether you are searching for the perfect holiday location or to purchase a home abroad, the region of Murcia has huge amounts to offer.

Servicing the region is the main San Javier airport for international flights which is approximately 15 minutes from the resorts. Alicante airport is only a short drive away, offering more flight destinations and travel operators. A new international airport – Corvera – is due to open 2012 only 30 minutes away.

The resorts
Among the resorts run by Platinum Holiday Rentals, Peraleja Golf resort is well known for its privacy, quality, design and collection of luxury villas, as well as a fabulously designed Seve Ballesteros golf course. Visitors have claimed that Peraleja in a class of its own when compared to any other golf resort in the region.

The Polaris World Resort of Mar Menor is yet another well known destination for golf lovers and second home owners alike, due to its location and close proximity to the beaches of the Mar Menor. Being only a short drive away from the coastal town of Los Alcázares you can enjoy lazing about on the beach or tasting the Murcian cuisine in one of many excellent restaurants. Further south west along the coast are Cartagena, Mazarrón and Águilas, boasting award winning blue flag beaches for cleanliness, safety and facilities.

The diamond of the Costa Blanca – Las Colinas Golf – is the newest resort developed on the south east coast of Spain, winning incredible reviews from golfers, developers and home owners. Also marketed by Platinum are the popular resorts of Hacienda Riquelme, La Torre, El Valle and Roda Beach & Golf.

The planned opening of the new Paramount Theme Park in 2015 is another event to look out for; it will become one of the largest theme parks in Europe, costing close to €1bn. Murcia was chosen as the site for the park due to its 300 sunny days a year which, it is hoped, will be a major selling point to locals and tourists alike, giving the park a distinct advantage over its competitors.

It is expected to achieve between 2.5-3 million visitors per year and up to five million visitors per year after five years which is great news for people wishing to rent their overseas properties out. People on holiday tend to appreciate the more flexible options of renting an apartment or villa. The new theme park, if it meets its targets, will invariably enhance property prices in the area.
