April 10, 2025

The Easter holidays bring families to La Manga Club in search of sunshine and adventure, with activities ranging from junior sports academies to day trips exploring Cartagena's spectacular Semana Santa processions.

When the Easter holidays arrive, families across Europe begin searching for the perfect escape—somewhere with guaranteed sunshine, activities for all ages, and that special something that transforms a holiday into lasting memories. La Manga Club, basking in spring warmth on Spain's Costa Cálida, delivers on every count.

Spring Has Sprung

Easter at La Manga Club coincides with one of the resort's most pleasant seasons. Temperatures typically reach the low twenties, warm enough for outdoor activities without the intensity of summer heat. The 1,400-acre resort bursts with colour as flowering gardens complement the emerald greens of the golf courses and the azure waters visible in the distance.

This comfortable climate makes Easter ideal for families with children of varying ages. While teenagers might seek more active pursuits, younger children can play outdoors without overheating, and parents can relax knowing conditions are just right for everyone.

Junior Sports Academies

La Manga Club's commitment to sport extends to its youngest visitors. The resort offers junior programmes that introduce children to golf, tennis, and football in a fun, supportive environment. These academies are staffed by experienced coaches who understand how to engage young participants while developing fundamental skills.

For golf-loving families, the chance to share the sport across generations is particularly special. Parents can play the championship courses while children receive age-appropriate instruction, then everyone can come together to compare notes over lunch.

The twenty-eight tennis courts at the Racquet Club ensure there's always space for family matches or coaching sessions, while the Football Centre—usually home to professional teams—welcomes young enthusiasts eager to develop their skills on world-class pitches.

Pool Days and Water Play

No family Easter escape would be complete without pool time, and La Manga Club delivers. The resort features multiple swimming pools, including family-friendly options where children can splash safely while parents relax nearby. The Grand Hyatt's pool complex includes dedicated areas for different needs, ensuring families find their perfect spot.

For more adventurous water experiences, the Mar Menor lagoon offers ideal conditions. As Europe's largest saltwater lagoon, its calm, shallow waters are perfect for introducing children to paddleboarding, sailing, or kayaking. The absence of strong currents or significant waves makes it a remarkably safe environment for water sports novices.

Exploring Beyond the Resort

While La Manga Club provides everything needed for a complete holiday, the surrounding region holds treasures worth exploring—particularly during Easter week.

The historic port city of Cartagena, just twenty minutes from the resort, hosts one of Spain's most spectacular Semana Santa (Holy Week) celebrations. The processions, featuring religious brotherhoods in distinctive robes, elaborate floats, and centuries-old traditions, offer families a window into Spanish culture that few tourist experiences can match.

The Californios, dressed in red, and the Marrajos, in deep purple, march through Cartagena's narrow streets with remarkable discipline. Children are often captivated by the spectacle, and many processions feature young participants who distribute sweets to the crowd—a charming tradition that bridges solemnity with celebration.

For families preferring nature to processions, the nearby Calblanque Regional Park offers unspoiled beaches and hiking trails. The park's landscapes contrast beautifully with the manicured perfection of La Manga Club, providing children with opportunities to explore rockpools, spot wildlife, and experience Spain's natural heritage.

Dining for All Tastes

Family dining at La Manga Club caters to varied palates and preferences. With over thirty restaurants and bars across the resort, finding options that satisfy both adventurous eaters and those with simpler tastes is straightforward. Many establishments offer children's menus, and the relaxed Mediterranean approach to family dining means youngsters are welcomed warmly.

For a special Easter treat, consider a family lunch at one of the beachfront restaurants near the resort. Watching the sea while sharing paella or grilled fish creates the kind of moment that children remember long after the holiday ends.

Evening Entertainment

As the sun sets, La Manga Club's family-friendly atmosphere continues. The resort's various bars and lounges offer relaxed environments where families can gather, and the extensive grounds provide space for evening walks as the day's warmth gives way to pleasant coolness.

During holiday periods, the resort often arranges special activities and events. It's worth checking what's planned during your Easter visit, as these programmes can add extra sparkle to an already memorable stay.

Making Memories

Easter at La Manga Club offers families something increasingly rare: the space and time to truly be together. Away from the distractions of daily life, surrounded by beauty and supported by world-class facilities, families rediscover the simple joy of shared experiences.

Whether it's a parent teaching a child to serve on the tennis court, a family cheering together at a Semana Santa procession, or simply an evening spent laughing over dinner, these are the moments that matter. La Manga Club provides the perfect setting for them to unfold.
