World-class tuition breaks at La Manga

Hailed by top instructor David Leadbetter as a teaching facility to rival anything in the world, La Manga Club’s new Leadbetter Golf Academy is helping to usher in a new era at the luxury destination resort and golfers can take advantage of outstanding value on tuition breaks this spring and summer.

The bespoke academy is the centrepiece of the Spanish resort’s €1m redevelopment of its teaching and practice centre, and guests can choose from a range of courses – with five-night packages including entry to the ‘Total Golf School’ starting from €527 (approx £405) per person.

Golfers of all abilities and ages can combine a stay at the luxury Hotel La Manga Club Principe Felipe or four-star Las Lomas Village apartments and townhouses with a five-star experience at the academy – described by Leadbetter as “comparable with anything I have seen worldwide” and the only one of its kind in mainland Spain.

The four-day school offers 12 hours’ expert tuition and analysis on all parts of the game; from swing technique and short-game secrets to improving a player’s mental approach, pre-shot preparation and practice methods.

All prices, based on two people sharing a room, also include complimentary access to the fitness centre, indoor pool and steam rooms at Spa La Manga Club, with five nights’ bed and breakfast accommodation in the hotel available from €663 (approx £510) per person.

There’s plenty to keep the younger members of the family entertained as well, with special golf tuition packages for children starting from €99 (£83 approx) for a four-hour under-nine academy, with further six-hour teaching options for youngsters in the under-15 and under-17 age groups.

Three times the size of Monaco, La Manga Club’s outstanding sports and leisure facilities include three 18-hole championship courses – the North, West and much-revered South – helping establish itself as Spain’s flagship resort and a firm favourite with European golfers since opening in 1972.

Widely regarded as Spain’s flagship resort, it has been voted ‘Best Golf Resort in Spain’ by UK readers of Today’s Golfer magazine for the last four years and was named as ‘Spain’s Best Golf Hotel’ at the 2014 World Golf Awards in November.

In addition to golf, La Manga Club boasts unrivalled facilities as a sports and leisure destination including 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.
