English Start
Entrance to La Manga and Cabo de Palos area
This is the section closest to the start of the strip. Some hotels are located within the first few kilometres, so there is no need to travel along the whole of Gran Vía.
Alicante ALC → La Manga del Mar Menor
Alicante Airport to La Manga by private taxi, direct to your hotel, apartment or exact kilometre
In La Manga, simply reaching the resort is not enough: there are many kilometres between the start of Gran Vía and the developments at the northern end. A private transfer from Alicante Airport can continue directly to the hotel, apartment, development or address provided when booking.

What makes this route different
La Manga is a narrow strip of land stretching for more than 20 km between the Mar Menor and the Mediterranean. This means that two bookings with “La Manga” as the destination can end many kilometres apart, making the kilometre number of your accommodation particularly useful for this journey.
Not every kilometre is the same destination
Gran Vía de La Manga makes the drop-off point part of the journey
Even after reaching La Manga, there may still be a considerable distance to travel. Your hotel, development, building name and kilometre number help distinguish a drop-off near Cabo de Palos from one towards Puerto Tomás Maestre or Veneziola.
Km 3–4
Early central area
Hotels and apartments begin to spread out on both sides of the main road. Providing the exact name of your accommodation makes it easier to identify the drop-off point.
Km 6–8
Central La Manga
This area includes hotels such as Poseidón La Manga Hotel & Spa and AluaSun Doblemar. Reaching this section means continuing for several kilometres after entering La Manga.
North
Puerto Tomás Maestre and areas further north
If your accommodation is further north, the journey continues along Gran Vía. Simply stating “La Manga” is particularly imprecise for this part of the destination.
Km 18+
Veneziola and the northern end
This is one of the areas furthest from the entrance. Restaurants, developments and accommodation here require travelling through almost the entire length of La Manga.
Hotels useful for pinpointing your location
Recommended hotels in La Manga based on where your transfer ends
This selection also shows how much the final drop-off point can vary within La Manga. The hotels are not all located in the same section of Gran Vía.
Hotel Entremares
Located in the first part of La Manga beside the Mediterranean, it illustrates the difference between staying close to the entrance and travelling further towards the central or northern sections.
Useful as a reference if you are staying close to the entrance to La Manga and the Cabo de Palos area.
Hotel Izán Cavanna
This hotel is located between the Mar Menor and the Mediterranean, in an inner section of the strip but still some distance from the northernmost kilometres.
Provide the full name “Hotel Izán Cavanna” when requesting your transfer.
Poseidón La Manga Hotel & Spa
Its official address is on Avenida Gran Vía de La Manga, km 6.5. It is a good example of why providing the kilometre number helps pinpoint the final destination.
Useful as a reference for the central section of La Manga.
AluaSun Doblemar
The hotel is officially located on Gran Vía, km 7.5, on the shores of the Mar Menor.
Add the hotel name and kilometre number to your booking to distinguish it from accommodation further north.
Before booking accommodation: availability, category, facilities and opening dates may change. Always check the latest information directly with the hotel. This selection is mainly used here to illustrate the different areas where your transfer may end.
Eating near your accommodation
Recommended restaurants across La Manga
In such a long, narrow resort, it makes sense to choose where to eat based on where you are staying. Travelling several kilometres along Gran Vía just to reach a restaurant can mean a much longer journey than the map might suggest.
Local cuisine is closely associated with fish, rice dishes and caldero from the Mar Menor. Before visiting, check the opening hours and seasonal availability, and book directly with the restaurant.
Castillo de Mar
Atlanta
Restaurant located in the Castillo de Mar development. It can be a practical option if your accommodation is in the central part of La Manga.
Veneziola
Escuela de Pieter
Located in the Veneziola area beside the Mar Menor. The official tourism directory recommends booking ahead, which can be particularly useful if you are staying at the northern end.
Km 18
Collados Beach
Located in the Veneziola development at km 18, close to the northern end of La Manga. Its location clearly illustrates the distance from the first few kilometres of the resort.
From ALC to a strip between two seas
How the journey changes once you enter La Manga
Most of the approximately 121 km is the intercity journey from Alicante towards the Region of Murcia. What makes this route different is the final section: entering La Manga does not necessarily mean you have reached your accommodation.
Pick-up at Alicante Airport
Provide your flight number and passenger details when requesting the transfer.
Journey south
The vehicle leaves the airport area and continues towards the Region of Murcia.
Approaching the Mar Menor
The journey reaches the coastal area before arriving at the start of La Manga.
Entering Gran Vía
From this point onwards, the journey depends particularly on the kilometre number provided.
Hotel, apartment or development
The transfer ends at the address included in the booking, rather than simply at the entrance to La Manga.
Do you know which kilometre you are staying at?
Add your flight, passengers, luggage and address to request a transfer to your exact destination in La Manga.

Questions specific to a destination stretching over 20 km
What to know before simply entering “La Manga” as your destination
For this route, the most useful questions are not generic ones: they concern the kilometre number on Gran Vía, the different developments and how far you may still have to travel after reaching the start of La Manga.
Why do I need to provide the kilometre number in La Manga?
La Manga stretches for more than 20 kilometres. Accommodation near the start of Gran Vía and accommodation close to Veneziola are not the same final destination, so it is advisable to provide the hotel, development, address and kilometre number whenever known.
How far is La Manga from Alicante Airport?
As a guide, the route is around 121 kilometres and approximately 1 hour 25 minutes. The actual journey time may vary depending on traffic and the specific kilometre number of the destination.
Can I book directly to a hotel at km 7 in La Manga?
Yes. When making your booking, provide the hotel's full name and, if known, the kilometre number on Gran Vía. The service is calculated to that specific location rather than simply to the entrance to La Manga.
Can the transfer go as far as Veneziola or km 18?
Yes, provided the address is included when requesting the service. The northern areas involve travelling several more kilometres after entering La Manga, so it is important to specify the destination from the outset.
What if I only know the name of my development?
Provide the exact name of the development and any other available details. If you later obtain the full address or kilometre number, let us know before the transfer so the drop-off point can be confirmed more precisely.
What luggage should I include for a long transfer to La Manga?
Provide the number of passengers, hold luggage, cabin luggage, pushchair and any special items. For an intercity journey of more than 100 km, the vehicle should be allocated based on both passenger capacity and luggage volume.
In La Manga, arriving means more than just reaching the resort
From the airport to your exact kilometre between the Mar Menor and Mediterranean
Provide your flight number, passengers, luggage and the exact point where your journey ends. If you know the kilometre number on Gran Vía, add it along with your hotel, development or apartment so the transfer destination is clearly defined from the outset.
