Roquetas de Mar, sun and beaches in the Poniente Almeriense
Roquetas de Mar is one of the leading holiday resorts in eastern Andalusia. Its main hotel area is concentrated around the Roquetas and Playa Serena developments, with hotels, apartments and a long seafront promenade overlooking the Mediterranean. It is a destination geared towards beach holidays, with services available throughout the season.
Beyond the beach, the town has its own character: Santa Ana Castle and the lighthouse in the old fishing quarter, the marina, the water park and the Las Salinas Nature Reserve, a wetland where flamingos can often be spotted. All of this is less than half an hour from the airport.
Hotel area, resort and historic centre
Roquetas de Mar is not a single location: it is useful to distinguish between the resort area and Playa Serena, where most hotels and holiday apartments are located; the historic centre or town, next to the marina and Santa Ana Castle; and Aguadulce, the area closest to Almeria.
As the holiday area is extensive, providing the name of your hotel, apartment block or exact address allows the driver to drop you off right at the door and avoid unnecessary detours through the resort. Your drop-off point is always set to the location you provide when booking.

A private transfer to Roquetas de Mar is booked at a fixed price per vehicle, with no meter. As this is a destination where visitors often stay for several days, it is common to book both the outward and return journeys from the outset and secure your vehicle for the return trip.
