Guide to Polaris World La Torre, Costa Blanca
La Torre is located in the Valle de Sol (Valley of the Sun), which makes it exceptionally warm and dry all year round. The location is ideal for golfers and is within 15 minutes of other Polaris World Resort courses as well as La Serena and Roda Golf Resorts.
Alternatively, the better known courses in the Costa Blanca such as Campoamor, Las Ramblas, La Finca and Villamartin can easily be reached. The world famous La Manga Club is only 25 mins away to the south.
La Torre is an outstanding, new, 5* Florida-style resort situated in Murcia on the Costa Calida - a place of great natural beauty with lush landscapes, breathtaking mountain views, fertile vineyards and outstanding beaches.
The area enjoys an enviable climate with over 320 days of sunshine a year and an average temperature of 21 degrees, perfect for summer and winter holidays for everyone.
Costa Calida (the warm coast) is situated between Costa Blanca and Costa de Almeria and is steeped in history. There are an abundance of local markets, castles, monuments, tapas bars and shops as well as a coastline loaded with long sandy beaches, secluded bays and marinas. The cathedral in Murcia is well worth a visit.
Los Alcazares beach and marina are just 15 minutes away, as is the popular lagoon of the Mar Menor. The larger, white sandy beaches in the region can be found slightly further up the coast between Torrevieja and Alicante. This is one of the most fertile regions of Spain, producing some of the finest fruit and vegetables in Europe, a fact that is reflected in the exquisite cuisine.
The beautiful Mar Menor is separated from the Mediterranean by a strip of sand 22km long, which forms a barrier and has created a shallow, warm lagoon.
There are over 44km of beaches with protected bays and coves on the sides of the Mar Menor and the water is no more than 7m at its deepest point this and the absence of tides make the Mar Menor an excellent location for all types of water sports as well as an ideal place for children. The Mar Menor’s waters warm up early in the spring and stay at a fairly consistent temperature throughout the season.
The concentration of salt and iodine in the water of the lagoon is reputed to be beneficial to sufferers of rheumatism and skin complaints.
La Torre is just 20 minutes drive from the capital city of Murcia, with its historic Cathedral, and 15 minutes to the Mar Menor coastline.
More locally are the small towns of Roldan and Balsicas.
Although there is a well-stocked supermarket just one minute away, the nearest shopping centre is situated just north of the airport at San Javier. Dos Mares has a very large supermarket and a food court, together with various clothes shops, a cinema and ten-pin bowling alley.
The coastline is varied with lovely beaches and ragged cliffs. The Mar Menor is a shallow sea water lagoon, which makes it very safe for children and provides excellent water sports, including windsurfing and sailing. The port of Cartagena is well worth a visit as is the quiet fishing village of Cabo de Palos with many fish and seafood restaurants.
