from 37 reviews Write review

On the south coast of Spain between the towns of Almeria and Motril in eastern Andalusia, you will find this newly constructed campsite. Camping Mar Azul Balerma offers its guests first class facilities on a level and open terrain. The fishing village of Balerma is only a short distance away and at approx. 10 km from the campsite you will find the attractive small town of Almerimar with a lively harbour packed with restaurants.

All possible flags of Europe welcome you from the through road, which runs parallel to the sea. The campsite is located a bit further off the road. The helpful Dutch owner has built a complete and relaxing campsite in a short period of time in a region which is very popular with hibernators. But also in summer months, this is a paradise. This is certainly the case for families, also due to the entertainment programme and the lovely swimming pool.

Palm trees

On campsite Mar Azul Balerma you can find sunny pitches everywhere and the vegetation is still young. Most of the pitches are provided with shade cloths. Pitches are given an extra tropical touch with a palm tree on each pitch. The pitches with loose gravel are located along several streets which are well-illuminated. If you are camping with a large motorhome (8-10 metres), please contact the campsite in advance.

In the centre of the campsite are a number of colourful wooden bungalows in a row.

Arabian atmosphere in the mountains

A short drive towards the north brings you to Granada where the Alhambra towers above the city. This impressive palace complex from the times of the Moors in on the UNESCO World Heritage List.

Lovely campsite, spotlessly clean. Lovely warm showers plenty of pressure not push button. Lovely clean bar/restaurant reasonably priced. Pool area well kept, plenty of sun beds available. Large capacity washing machines and dryers. Shingle beach across the road. Not too much open in Balerma but if you have cycles then Almerimar is worth visiting about 7km along a cycle track with lovely sea views.

We intended staying for 2 nights but stayed for 5 as the site, location and staff we brilliant. Balermo is quiet but gives you everything you need.

what a bit of heaven in the midst of the plastic greenhouses. the staff were brilliant and couldn\'t do enough to help with any issues. the pitches are of a good size and bordered by sweet smelling jasmine hedges. I need to say that the onsite bread is the best I\'ve ever purchased on a campsite. even though it was Easter the toilets were kept clean. the beach was good for walking the dogs but a bit wild and unkept. would I use this campsite again, yes.
