La Manga Del Mar Menor awaits you on the southern tip of Spain’s Costa Calida and is arguably one of the finest resorts in Europe for an action-packed sunshine break.

La Manga Club in particular is a haven for sporty holidaymakers looking for world-class tennis, golf and football facilities.

This exclusive resort covers 1400 acres and boasts luxury accommodation and an exciting choice of bars and restaurants, all in a secure, private location.

Here’s what you could get up to here in La Manga:

Golf
Football
Tennis
Cricket
Rugby
Swimming
Horse riding
Cycling
Running

There are also impressive junior academies for teens and a fun, secure kids club for little ones.

Of course, you don’t need to be the next Andy Murray or the next Tiger Woods to enjoy a holiday here.

Whilst my family was off doing their thing, I took advantage of the magnificent spa as well as simply soaking up the sun by the poolside. Despite the amount of stuff going on, this place is still very tranquil and relaxing. So, if you fancy just chilling out, that’s fine too. You’ll see plenty of others doing just that.

The beauty of it is, you can do as much or as little as you like and there’s something for every family member. You probably won’t want to leave the luxury and ambience of the resort and who could blame you? However, La Manga’s location allows holidaymakers easy access to some of Spain’s historic towns and cities if you feel like a bit of culture.

Here are some suggestions if you can tear yourself away…

Cartagena
