Spain's five-star La Manga Club is dishing up a treat for families for the Easter and May half-term holidays - including offering free meals to children under 12 at selected restaurants at the luxury resort.

Youngsters can enjoy complimentary dinner when they stay in the award-winning venue's Las Lomas Village and five-star Hotel Principe Felipe and order from the kids' menu at Asia, Luigi and La Bodega restaurants when accompanied by an adult.  The offer is valid for breaks of four nights or more when booked before March 31, meaning a family of four can enjoy a four-night stay at La Manga Club from just €560 (approx £465). 

In addition, the packages feature complimentary use of Spa La Manga Club's fitness centre, indoor pool, saunas and steam rooms and free access to the resort's Junior Club from Monday to Friday for youngsters aged five to 12, with a full range of activities available with La Manga Club's popular 'Funlandia' programme.

And, with the money saved, mums and dads will be free to spend their extra cash enjoying La Manga Club's extensive leisure facilities including golf, tennis and spa.

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.

Former Wales rugby union captain Michael Owen's popular rugby academy will be returning to La Manga Club while children can enhance their sporting skills 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.

In addition, a game of pitch and putt is great for families to enjoy together, or they can simply choose to relax and have fun in and around one of the La Manga Club's four outdoor pools, kids' indoor pool and children's playground area.

Set in an area three times the size of Monaco, La Manga Club is widely regarded as Spain's flagship resort and, as well as being the official overseas training base of the Lawn Tennis Association (LTA), recent accolades include being voted best golf hotel in Spain by readers of Today's Golfer magazine for the third year running. The resort 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.
