Villa La Manga Blog rental villa in La Manga Spain

Rent La Manga Club is the perfect way to enjoy a fantastic holiday at the world famous La Manga Club in Spain. The choice open to the Rent La Manga Club villa holidaymaker is vast. Why be limited to a single hotel bedroom when you can get top quality self-catering accommodation at a fraction of the price, by renting a villa or apartment?

After all, what does the Hyatt at La Manga offer that you can’t enjoy through renting a villa? Well as you will see, absolutely nothing.

Swimming – all Rent La Manga Club villas have pools. Depending on the individual property they are either private or shared. In addition, all Rent La Manga Club villas have the use of the central pool near the tennis centre and the magnificent new indoor facilities at the Spa. The resort beach too, is open to all residents.

Eating – La Manga Club has a number of restaurants and bars open to non-residents and of course you can still dine at the Hyatt even if your are not staying at the hotel. For guests prepared to travel a little, there are dozens of restaurants less than ten minutes drive away. Of course Rent La Manga Club villa customers also have the choice of self-catering. Villas come with fully equipped kitchens. There are supermarkets on site that will cater for the needs of most holiday-makers and the hypermarkets are within easy reach.

No housework – there is no reason for a Rent La Manga Club villa resident to lift a broom. On-site management companies prepare the properties and all bedding and towels are provided.

Sports facilities – while some choose to come here to rest, other can’t wait to build up a sweat. La Manga Club is famous for its world-class golf and tennis facilities. Rent La Manga Club residents, like the guests staying at the hotel will find all these on their doorstep.

Choice – while there’s only one hotel, there are hundreds of different Rent La Manga Club properties on offer, from one-bedroom apartments to palatial villas fit for footballer’s wife.

Ease of booking – well you can start by booking directly from this site. Alternatively there are a number of Rent La Manga Club travel agents who can organise everything for you, from the flight to car hire. The best way is to book with owners, not only to get the best price, but ensure it’s exactly the property you are looking for.

La Manga Club rentals is an easy option for families. Some owners, us included, are happy to offer La Manga club rentals directly to holiday makers. However, rentals are available through a variety of channels.

There are several La Manga Club travel specialists that offer La Manga club rentals. The most established is Barwell, which has offices on site. In addition to rentals, it provides a full management and sales service too. Going through a specialist travel agent for La Manga club rentals has its advantages because flights and transfers can be included. The downside is the price – obviously a ‘full-service’ option is going to be more expensive.

Many visitors to the club come time and again. As they become more familiar with the resort some decide to take a DIY approach to La Manga Club rentals. My own personal experience is that I started off going through a travel agent, then found out that several of the property management companies dotted around the resort offered rental services on behalf of owners at a discount to the travel agencies.

The issue then became which La Manga Club rentals to choose. There are properties to suit most pockets, from one-bedroom apartments to huge mansions. The problem is that pricing is generally related to size rather than quality. In other words you can pay the same price for properties that are quite different in terms of furnishings and amenities. The only way to guarantee you are renting a well maintained property is to go direct to the owners, who should be able to provide photos and accurate descriptions of their property.

The growth of the internet has allowed owners to bypass agents and market their La Manga club rentals directly to the public. They vary in functionality, but should offer as a minimum a guide to occupancy and rates.

All the owners I have dealt with have a management company on site that handles all the practical issues associated with La Manga club rentals – from providing keys to preparing the property for guests. Not only should the property be clean, but beds will be made up and towels provided. They are also able to provide extras such as stair gates and child seats. They are also on hand to deal with ‘emergencies’ – we once managed to lock ourselves out of a villa and the management company had a locksmith over within the hour.

In this age of celebrity obsession La Manga Club has not been left behind. The resort beach has had its fair share of celebrity sun worshippers. Recently, we have had the dubious pleasure of sharing it with Wayne Rooney and the lovely Coleen, as well as other members of the underachieving England football squad.

But it’s not all about Wags and their handbags. No, according to the official La Manga Club website, visitors staying in 2002 would have been lucky enough to catch sight of delegates to the EU Agricultural Meeting of the Ministers of the European Union.

Music lovers have also had their fair share of thrills, with rare sighting of pop nobility including Sir Cliff and Robbie Williams. Top billing however goes to royalty. La Manga has been graced by the presence of the Spanish Royal family on a number of occasions.

So if it’s good enough for them….
