Meliá Golf Almerimar El Ejido Urbanizacion Almerimar s/n

Gorgeous beaches and scenic countryside with the Sierra Nevada mountain range just a short drive away. For those wishing to pursue some active sports then the Almerimar Golf Course is an 18 hole course with tennis courts and swimming pool so all the family can enjoy a sporting day out.

The tranquil and calm beach of Cerillo is the perfect place to soak up the sunshine, have a gentle swim and settle down with your favourite book or puzzle. Revive, refresh and relax your mind, body and soul and spend some time just paddling in the shallow or strolling in the sand.

There's a longer beach called Punta Entinas which is also home to some rare plant and animal life. There is also a magnificent castle - Guardias Viejas dating back to the 18th century - inside you will find a museum.

Be sure to indulge in the gastronomic delights of the region - tapas - little plates of different and delicious dishes - meats, fish, potatoes, vegetables, spicy sauces, cheeses, hams and salads - accompany with fresh bread, local red wine and Jerez and some local conversation - simply live the slow life and enjoy the pace.

Drive around the area and discover little villages, heritage sights and perhaps head up to the Sierra Nevada mountain range which is about 10 minutes drive away. If you climb high enough you can have a day's ski-ing included in your holiday - best of all worlds.
