During Easter and summer there are academies for juniors - football, rugby, tennis, golf - together with many activity clubs. You will find crazy golf and a fun Par 47. Take a ferry trip around the Mar Menor. Not far from the villa there are interesting walks and lovely beaches, breathtaking coastal scenery and tranquil woods mixed with fascinating historical mining areas. A hike to the top of Cabezo de la Fuente (known as Lion Mountain due to its shape) can be strenuous but gives a panoramic view of the area. Further information is available from us for all the facilities on offer including child care clubs, diving, mountain biking, cycling and the trips on the Mar Menor. A very useful folder of guest information is available within the villa upon arrival. We recommend car hire to make the most of your stay. Sports discounts for tennis and golf (where applicable within Resort).
Shopping, Wining and Dining: You may be happy to spend your visit within the La Manga Club Resort, especially over the summer months and there are over 25 restaurants and bars if you don't want to travel too far. However, you could venture to lively Cartagena, have lunch around the port, view roman ruins, take a boat trip then head to the great shops - there are large hypermarkets, fashion, shoe and sports shops, El Corte Ingles, Mango, Zara and many more. The busy market at Cabo de Palos on a Sunday morning is only ten minutes away and the many restaurants around the quay are enjoyable all year especially over the summer months. Los Belones is the nearest village and you will find an interesting wine cellar, supermarket, furniture shops, ice cream parlour, cafes and restaurants with a smaller market on Tuesdays. Santiago de la Ribera has a lovely promenade and fish restaurants right on the sand - the market here is on a Wednesday. Further information on eating out and shopping is provided for your stay.
