Polaris World Property
Mention Murcia and most golfers familiar with this region of Spain will think of The La Manga Club, the expansive resort that occupies over 1400 acres and contains some 1800 privately owned villas. The key feature of the area, the Mar Menor, is Europe’s largest saltwater lake; it is separated from the Mediterranean by a slender spit of land called La Manga – the sleeve – from which the resort takes its name. With a water temperature 5° higher than the sea, it attracts water sports enthusiasts in significant numbers.
La Manga is well worth a visit, 3 excellent courses and owners accommodation arranged in the style of small villages across the estate ensure that you will never be short of choice for things to do. Add to this 28 tennis courts, 2 cricket pitches and numerous pools and you can understand why La Manga is popular with sports personalities – both Nigel Mansell & Kenny Dalgliesh own property there and the England football team often take mid season breaks to use the extensive training facilities.
