The Costa Calida/Murcia region
An Ideal Climate
The Costa Calida, Spain’s warm coast, is certainly deserving of it’s name. With over 320 days per year of sunshine there are more sunny days in the Murcia region than any where else in Spain with average temperatures of 21oC.
A Region to Discover
The Murcia region is an unspoilt area in the south east of Spain with 250km of beaches along the shores of 2 seas: the Mediterranean and the Mar Menor. A paradise where you can relax and enjoy yourself.
The Mar Menor (small sea)
Just 15 minutes from the resort, the Mar Menor is a huge (135 sq km) salt-water lagoon, separated from the Mediterranean by the 24 km long La Manga strip. The Mar Menor's salinity provides buoyancy so it is, supposedly, one of the safest places to swim in the world, it is also renowned for it’s high water temperatures which are retained well in to the autumn months. The mineral-rich waters are said to have therapeutic effects and because of this the area has a significant spa tourism industry. Take in the beautiful views of the Mar Menor from the extensive level promenades that run along side the beaches from San Pedro del Pintar to Santiago del la Ribera and are perfect for cycling or a relaxing walk (with pushchairs or wheel chairs) and stop off at one of the many beach side cafes or bars.
The Beaches and Water Sports
Soft sandy beaches with numerous children’s play areas on the sand, coupled with the calm waters of the Mar Menor make it ideal both for children and for the extensive water sports that are on offer here. These include Jet skiing, wind surfing, sailing, fishing, snorkelling, and scuba diving.
Shopping
The cities of Murcia & Cartegena both boast excellent shopping facilities.
At San Javier just 20 minutes drive away is Dos Mares shopping mall, which includes 10 pin bowling, cinema and an extensive food hall.
Towards Murcia, 20 minutes in the other direction is Nueva Condomina. This recently opened shopping mall with some 200 shops, including many U.K high street chains that you will be familiar with. This complex also provides a huge range of restaurants, 10 pin bowling and 6 screen cinema.
Water Park & Animal Park (Opened summer 2007)
The New Water park (Terra Aqua Murcia) and Animal park (Terra Natura Murcia) provide a wonderful family day out, with something for all ages just 15 minutes from the resort in fact on the way to Nueva Condiminia and the new football stadium see below. Check out their website www.terranatura.com
Football
Football fans...look up Real Murcia, they are playing in the Spanish Premier League for the 2007/2008 season. They have a new purpose built stadium just to the north of the city next door to Nueva Condominia, so why not combine your shopping day with a football game.
Nature
Enjoy exploring this area know as the garden of Spain with it’s outstanding natural beauty. There are many national parks and an abundance of wildlife and birds to be discovered.
History
The beautiful Roman port of Cartagena the Milennial Port of the Mediterranean know 2000 years ago as Carthagonova and Murcia City with it’s historic cathedral (1388) are both just a short drive away and well worth a visit.

Polaris World presents the best golf offer in Europe, The Nicklaus Golf Trail, which currently includes El Valle, La Torre, Mar Menor and coming soon Hacienda Riquelme. The excellent designs ensure fun for all players, whether novice or expert and a different challenge every day.
Below are the thoughts of one professional golfer who recently stayed with us on El Valle.
A PRO’S VIEW OF EL VALLE 5 ***** GOLF COURSE (Desert links style)
Legendary golfer and course designer Jack Nicklaus presents a simply stunning 18 holes of arguable the best desert links golf in all of Europe. Set at the foot of the awe-inspiring Sierra Mountain range, this course is guaranteed to get your heart pumping.
The golf course winds through the exclusive El Valle Resort & Spa and takes full advantage of its desert setting with numerous holes playing adjacent to both the naturally existing rock-outcroppings and ridges and also the impressive villas.
THE FRONT 9
Lush fairways and slick greens stand in stark contrast to the baron back drop of the mountains with the front nine holes offering a fair yet demanding test. The challenge begins with 2 impressive par 4’s followed by a distinguished par 5. As you proceed further into the front nine you will be confronted by the long par 5 7th hole measuring almost 600 yards and generally played into the prevailing wind. Perhaps the most scenic hole on the front nine is the 8th; this devilishly tricky short par 4 is played towards a raised undulating green and is surrounded by a rocky amphitheatre of mountains.
To further enhance the desert theme, the golf course has been landscaped with many species of native shrubs, grasses and other desert plants, other features include a number of water features, including two large lakes and many elaborate streams and waterfalls strategically placed, making this is the perfect course for developing any player's strategy.
THE BACK 9
As you head into the back nine you are almost immediately greeted by El Valle’s signature hole, the superb par 4 11th it is a short but very exacting test, the small green is protected by bunkers and rock formations offering little margin for misplaced accuracy. The tee is set breathtakingly high, overlooking the rest the course and on a clear day looks directly out towards the spectacular Mar Menor sea in the distance. The next 6 holes require a bold yet intelligent approach and will reward clever thinking. The final hole will leave you hungry for more as this medium length par 4 wines it’s way back towards the extravagant glass club house that over looks the final green. If you can avoid the water from the tee, a par 4 to finish could be on the card.
Jack and his team had a goal, to provide you and your guests with a golfing experience that is unmatched and I for one believe that he has achieved that objective !!
Rating: 9/10
Polaris World and Nicklaus Design have together created the Nicklaus Golf Trail, which, once completed, will offer 9 Nicklaus Design golf courses located within a 25km radius, forming without doubt the best golf offer in Europe.

"What a place, the kids loved the pool and were in it until 10pm one night and as for the golf course, being a keen gofer myself, it was a fantasic course, with the best greens I've ever played on. " Henry Otterman- Oxford
