Whenever we feel like a bit of glamour we go down to Mojacar beach where there are some great beach bars. The most glam is Lua – a kind of Trader Vic’s on the beach (for those of you old enough to remember the basement bar at the Hilton in Park Lane, London!). It really only comes to life late at night during the summer, but it is still fab to go for a drink at sunset. It is right on the beach so you watch the waves rolling in and feel the wonderful breeze after a blistering day.
A sea view with your drink
September is a particularly lovely time to go there in the early evening. It is lovely and cool and has lots of nooks and crannies with comfy sofas and chairs to hide away in or to sit on a bar stool overlooking the beach while the barman brings your favourite drink with some nibbles. It is a good place to come late as well, busier and enchanting in the dark, with all the Buddha’s and blue fairy lights and banana trees – a real tropical hideaway. Have a drink here, whether just the two of you or in a big crowd – it is very spacious, both indoors and out. Most of the beach bars close during the winter, but are open well into the autumn which makes it feel like spring is just around the corner for those of us who live here.
