Holidays in La Manga, Costa Blanca, Spain

- La Manga is the resort with everything.

The area of La Mangha and the Mar Menor lies right at the most southern part of the Costa Blanca. La Manga is located in the Spanish region of Murcia on the Costa Calida. The name La Manga (literally "the sleeve") actually describes the 28-kilometre spit of land which divides the Mediterranean from the Mar Menor sea inlet. But the name has now become synonymous with one of Europe's top tourist complexes - the award winning La Manga Club where you can enjoy some serious self-indulgence in a purpose-built 1,400 acre holidaymakers' paradise. La Manga is the resort with everything. If you've got Euros to burn and you expect every possible luxury and leisure activity at your fingertips.well, you've come to the right place! The resort lies in a fertile valley, sheltered by the Murcian hills and flanked by the crystal clear waters of the Mediterranean and Mar Menor sea (a lagoon which provides a perfect natural playground for watersports enthusiasts). The complex has no less than three world class golf courses, a tennis centre which is one of the finest in Europe, equestrian centres, a host of other sports and luxurious health and spa facilities. There's a casino, fine restaurants, hundreds of bars, beautifully manicured gardens and tropical-style swimming pools. This is an upmarket resort where the vast majority of accommodation is provided within the hundreds of self-catering apartments and villas which dot the hillsides and line the beachfront. It's ideal for sports lovers and families, as long as you're not on too tight a budget. There are just too many temptations within easy reach to be able to get away with a low budget holiday.
