La Manga Club has laid claim to being the hottest resort in mainland Europe after experiencing incredible weather this spring and families can take advantage of some sizzling prices at the award-winning destination during the May half-term holidays – with a four-night stay for a family of four on offer from just €696 (approx £580).

Temperatures at the luxury resort in the region of Murcia have soared to an average 26⁰C during the daytime in recent weeks, well above those recorded in other popular holiday destinations on the Iberian peninsular.

And it's not just the weather that has been scorching with La Manga Club experiencing a sell-out period over Easter, and families can experience more outstanding value on sunshine breaks when they head to Spain's flagship resort at the end of this month.

Guests can enjoy four-star accommodation in La Manga Club's Las Lomas Village from only €43.5 per person per night, while a four-night bed and breakfast stay for a family of four in the resort's five-star Hotel Principe Felipe is available from €786 (approx £655), including a 50 per cent discount on rooms for children 12 and under.

All prices are valid for breaks of four nights or more and the packages, which are based on two people sharing a room, also feature a wide range of other benefits including complimentary use of Spa La Manga Club's fitness centre, indoor pool, saunas and steam rooms.

Youngsters under the height of 1.2 metres can enjoy free meals when they order from the kids' menu at Asia, Luigi and La Bodega restaurants when accompanied by an adult, complimentary Wi-Fi and kids' entertainment are also included while preferential guest rates are available on a wide variety of sports and activities for both adults and children.

New to La Manga Club this year is the Leadbetter Golf Academy – the only such facility in mainland Spain – where players of all ages and abilities can hone their swings or enjoy a lesson from one of La Manga Club's expert team of professionals.

Children can enhance their sporting skills during the Whitsun holidays at one of the resort's own academies for golf, tennis, cricket, rugby, football and dance, as well as facilities for cycling, mountain biking, go karting and water sports which are all available on resort or nearby.

Set in an area three times the size of Monaco, La Manga Club boasts unrivalled facilities as a sport and leisure venue including three 18-hole championship golf courses, a 28-court tennis centre and a 2,000sqm spa and fitness centre. It also offers the choice of a five-star hotel, four-star serviced apartments and townhouses, and more than 20 bars and restaurants.
