La Manga Holidays

A luxe retreat for sunseekers

You don’t have to be into perfectly manicured gardens, sprawling golf resorts and stately villas to enjoy La Manga holidays, but by the time you leave, you’ll have no doubt fallen in love. Situated in the Murcia region of Spain and known for its star-studded resort, La Manga has welcomed the world’s well-heeled to its luxe shores since the 1960s. These days, you’ll still find a highbrow crowd basking in the restorative waters of its large saltwater lagoon, Mar Menor.

The real draw is La Manga strip, which stretches out between the ocean and the lagoon like the string of a bow, and offers sparkling views on both sides. Given the location, there are aqua-based activities galore. However, if it’s total relaxation you’re after, the white sand beaches benefit from a Mediterranean climate that sees visitors enjoy holidays to La Manga all year around.
