Escape The Winter Chill This Christmas

As the festive season draws near and grey skies loom, it’s the perfect moment to consider a getaway that mixes winter charm with Mediterranean mildness — and few places deliver quite like La Manga Club. Nestled in the region of Murcia on Spain’s Costa Cálida, The Grand Hyatt La Manga Club Golf & Spa offers a luxurious base, where you can combine festive elegance, mild climate, and excellent golfing into one seamless holiday.

The festive programme at Grand Hyatt includes elegant dinners, sparkling brunches, and a glamorous New Year's Eve gala dinner. The ambience is upscale and relaxed: think refined dining, fireplaces, candle-lit terraces, and an atmosphere that shifts away from the usual festive rush.

Mild December Climate – Soft Sunshine, Gentle Days

One of the big attractions at this time of year is the weather. While Northern Europe bundles up, this part of Spain offers something far more inviting. Winter days at La Manga routinely enjoy comfortable sunshine and mild temperatures: daytime highs of 15-17 °C with lows around 8-12 °C. 

That means you can enjoy a sunrise stroll, tee-off on a golf course, or sip a terrace cocktail without battling the elements. The holiday feel is still seasonal, but the heat is replaced by soft warmth rather than an icy chill.

Golf: Tee Off in Winter Sunshine

If your idea of a festive break includes 18-holes in gentle sunlight rather than trudging around in heavy coats, you’ll love the golf setup at La Manga where you'll find three championship 18-hole courses. With mild conditions, the winter months are an excellent time for golf, and whether you choose the challenging South Course or the more natural, wooded West or North courses, you'll benefit from less crowded tee-times and a lush winter landscape.

Beyond The Resort

Beyond the resort’s boundaries, the region around the tranquil Mar Menor lagoon offers several charming villages whose quiet streets, seaside promenades and local cuisine make for delightful day trips. Try Los Alcázares, which lies on the shores of the Mar Menor — a beachside town with a relaxed vibe, long promenade and shallow, calm waters. Or the smaller fishing village of Los Nietos, still retaining its authenticity and offering a quieter alternative, ideal for wandering and soaking up local life. The broader Murcia region also points to coastal villages like San Pedro del Pinatar, where salt-flats, bird-life and tranquil scenery complement seaside charm.

Why a Festive Break at La Manga Works so Well
