La Manga Club Resort is a five-star international resort located near Los Belones, between the Mar Menor and the open Mediterranean coast of Murcia, approximately 55 kilometres south of Murcia city and 25 kilometres east of Cartagena. The resort was conceived in the early 1970s as a destination for affluent European golfers and has expanded over five decades into one of Spain's largest and most comprehensive sports and leisure resort complexes. Three eighteen-hole golf courses — the South Course, North Course, and West Course — form the foundation of the resort's sporting identity. All three courses have hosted professional European golf events and attract a year-round international golfing clientele, with winter and spring being especially popular for northern European golfers escaping colder home climates.
Beyond golf, La Manga Club operates a highly regarded tennis academy with clay, hard, and grass court surfaces supplemented by professional coaching programmes for adults and juniors. Football training facilities attract elite clubs and youth academies for pre-season camps, particularly during European winter. Multiple outdoor swimming pools are distributed across the resort, and direct beach access to the Mediterranean coast is available via a resort shuttle service. Accommodation ranges from standard hotel rooms in the main hotel building to privately rented villas within the surrounding residential urbanisation, providing flexibility for families, groups, and extended stays. Suite rooms at the main hotel represent the highest tier of in-property comfort. Multiple restaurants and bars are spread across the resort site, ranging from casual poolside food service to a signature fine-dining restaurant. A full-service spa and wellness centre provides comprehensive body and beauty treatments. A supervised kids' club and structured junior sport programmes cater to families with children of all ages. The resort has hosted celebrity guests, professional football clubs, and major corporate events for decades, and an experienced events team manages weddings and conferences of all scales.

Tips for visiting
- Golf tee times at peak winter and spring periods fill quickly — reserve well in advance, ideally at the time of booking the hotel
- The tennis academy accepts adult coaching bookings on a per-session basis — book early during high season
- The resort shuttle to the Mediterranean beach runs on a schedule; confirm times at check-in to plan day trips
- Villa rentals within the urbanisation offer more space and independence for families or groups of four or more
- The area immediately around the resort is sparsely served by public transport — a rental car makes excursions to Cartagena and the Mar Menor much easier
