All prices are based on two people sharing a room and also feature complimentary use of Spa La Manga Club's fitness centre, indoor pool, saunas and steam rooms.

Set across an area of 1,400 acres, La Manga Club's extensive golf facilities include three 18-hole courses, a nine-hole academy course and extensive practice facilities.
