First and foremost La Manga Club is renowned for its sports facilities. It has three international standard golf courses, a tennis complex with 28 courts, a squash court, and a pristine bowling green, to name but a few of its many amenities. A Spa with health and beauty centre also recently opened at La Manga Club. It has an excellent footballing centre that frequently hosts top teams from throughout Europe.

In addition to these, there are also water sports available nearby, as well as great opportunities for mountain biking, hiking, horse riding and jogging trails. We have split the activities into two sections, those available at La Manga Club, and those that can be done in the surrounding area.
