La Torre Golf Resort:
La Torre Golf Resort is spread over one square mile of sun-drenched Spanish countryside.
The second resort to be completed by Polaris World, La Torre is a truly Mediterranean community. Laid out around a verdant Jack Nicklaus-designed 18-hole golf course, its white-washed properties are a dazzling mixture of villas, semi-detached houses and luxury apartments, with wide avenues flanked by landscaped gardens and the most varied local flora. Its plentiful facilities include twenty-two large swimming pools, a jacuzzi, tennis courts and a gym.
Comfort, convenience and peace-of-mind are priorities at La Torre. It boasts a gated entry system and 24-hour manned security. In the centre of the resort is the 5-star Intercontinental La Torre Golf Resort Hotel and Spa, offering 113 rooms split between two buildings. The luxury Spa offers an indoor swimming pool, fitness centre, 14 treatment rooms, aromatherapy and more.
It's not all golf!:
The centrepiece of the resort is the 18-hole Jack Nicklaus-designed golf course. But it is not all about golf. You can take a dip in one of the twenty-two luxury swimming pools on the resort, relax in a jacuzzi, practice your serve on the tennis courts or have fun with the kids at one of the children’s playgrounds. If you want a break from the action, you can browse the many shops or relax over a glass of the excellent local wine or enjoy fine dining in one of the several bars and restaurants.
The Resort’s bustling town centre is clustered around the shimmering lake. It includes shops, a large supermarket, a travel agents, a beauty salon and hairdressers, a bank (with a 24-hour cash machine), the Club House and several restaurants & bars, including an Italian, a tapas bar, an Irish pub, a speciality rice restaurant and a juice & milkshake bar.
Local beaches:
Los Alcázares, on the Mar Menor, has some of the finest beaches on the Costa Cálida ('The Warm Coast'). Several have won awards for their high standards. Along the promenade there are various bars, cafes and restaurants selling local tapas, along with play areas for children. A short walk inland is the centre of Los Alcázares town itself.
Further along the Mar Menor are the fine sandy beaches at San Pedro del Pinatar. If you’ve had enough sand, try the village’s famous therapeutic mud which are believed to prevent rheumatism and arthritis.
Or there’s Santiago de la Ribera, whose wide, newly refurbished promenade leads on to a sandy beach, with many beachfront cafés and restaurants to sit and relax. You can also take a relaxing ferry trip from here across the Mar Menor to La Manga.
For a little more seclusion, try the hidden gem of Torre de la Horadada, characterised by small private coves and warm clear waters.
