A Week is Way Too Short: Why an Extended Stay on the Costa Blanca is the Ultimate Luxury

We all know the feeling. You spend weeks, perhaps months, looking forward to your holiday. A complete escape from home, free from the daily stress of work, alarms, and busy schedules. You dream of the warm Spanish sunshine, the soothing sound of the sea, and ultimate peace. But once you arrive at your destination, the reality of time quickly catches up with you. A one-week holiday flies by in the blink of an eye. Before you know it, you are packing your bags once again.

At Mister Stay in Orihuela Costa / Villamartín, we believe that vacationing is an art. And to truly master that art, you need time. A longer stay in one of our luxury penthouses, like the breathtaking Vero Amanecer, is the key to genuine relaxation.

The Anatomy of a Short Holiday: Why One Week Just Isn't Enough

Let’s look at how an average one-week holiday unfolds. The reality is that the first day is often a lost day. The journey is intense and tiring. Whether you flew in or had a long drive, once you arrive at your accommodation, everyone is mostly just relieved that the journey went smoothly. Energy levels are low. As a result, the first day often ends early.

Fortunately, at Mister Stay, you can immediately sink into the comfortable sofa and stream a great movie or series on the Smart TV (equipped with Netflix and Disney+) via our super-fast 1 Gbps fiber Wi-Fi, but before you know it, day one is already over.

The second day is traditionally an 'exploration day'. You need to acclimatize. Where are the local supermarkets in Villamartín? What is their selection like? You take a leisurely stroll to the local shop to gather fresh ingredients for a delicious breakfast. Back at the penthouse, you enjoy this breakfast on the beautiful, large rooftop terrace or the spacious balcony. Breakfast is the perfect moment to discuss the day and map out your plans.

And that is precisely where the shoe pinches during a short one-week stay. There is simply too much to do and too little time to truly savor it!

Endless Possibilities in Orihuela Costa

With the current delightful summer weather of around 26°C and a clear blue sky, the Costa Blanca beckons from every direction. Over breakfast or brunch, you discuss the options for the days ahead. Perhaps the early birds in your group have already finished a workout in the fitness room or swum a few laps in the refreshing communal pool. Now it’s time for the real decisions. What shall we do today?

A beach day: The beautiful sandy beaches of the Costa Blanca (such as La Zenia, Cabo Roig, or Campoamor) are just a few minutes' drive away.
Shopping at La Zenia Boulevard: This giant open-air shopping mall is a paradise for fashion lovers and is practically around the corner.
Culture in Murcia or Torrevieja: Visit the historic cathedral of Murcia or discover the famous pink salt lakes of Torrevieja.
Water activities: Rent a boat for the day or get an adrenaline rush on a jet ski.
Walking and cycling: Explore the miles of beautiful coastal paths directly along the Mediterranean Sea.
Golfing: Did you bring your golf clubs? Villamartín is a world-renowned golf paradise with fantastic courses right in the neighborhood.

All of these fantastic activities must, of course, be balanced with restful days. Days where you do absolutely nothing. A bit of reading on the rooftop terrace, lounging by the pool... And then, just as you finally sink into true holiday mode, you already have to head home. This makes a single week simply far too short.
