A number of summer offers have just been announced for the selection of Polaris World Golf courses. Between the 1st July and 15th September 2008, between 12pm and 16.50pm, 2 players can play for the price of one. In addition if you want to play from 5pm to 7pm, the cost is just 30 Euros a round. For those that are on holiday on the resorts and want to play several rounds of golf there is also a discount on the price of five rounds, which includes the hire of a buggy or electric buggy. The offers are valid at all four of the Polaris World courses, including El Valle, Hacienda, La Torre and Mar Menor.

The last remaining property from Polaris World at La Torre Golf Resort, the Penthouse show apartment, has just come onto the market. It is priced at just 170,650 Euros, and with its spacious layout and fantastic position, we expect it to sell within a couple of days.

The show apartment is the last show property at La Torre. Although the resort is still a showcase for Polaris World, other show apartments are now open at the newer resorts, such as Naranjos de Alhama on the Condado resort. La Torre Golf resort was the second resort to open and currently has the most facilities, with an 18 hole golf course, a wide selection of restaurants and bars, lots of swimming pools, 2 tennis courts, a large supermarket and other shops. La Torre is about 15 minutes from Murcia San Javier airport and the beaches around the Mar Menor Sea. It is also only 20 minutes from the towns of Murcia and Cartagena with their extensive shopping, culture and nightlife.

Four new show apartments have been opened at Jardines de Naranjos, part of the Polaris World Condado de Alhama resort. The new show apartments will be replacing the original show apartments in the first phase of the resort - Jardines de Alhama. This first phase is now finished and being handed over to clients. Naranjos de Alhama is an area with 2 and 3 bedroom apartments and also 2 bedroom villas. It is the closest area to the first Jack Nicklaus golf course on the resort and the golf clubhouse is part of the Naranjos area. The new show apartments are 2 and 3 bedroom, with garden and pool views. The two bedroom apartments have large roof terraces and the three bedroom apartments have a garden and terrace. The properties can be viewed between 10am and 7pm, 7 days a week.

There are still some properties available in the Naranjos area, with prices starting from 130,700 Euros. The properties are due to be ready at the beginning of next year.

2,000 Euros of furniture vouchers are available for any person reserving a property on Polaris World in June this year.  The vouchers can be used in the Polaris World furniture shop of Homestyle, which has everything you may need to fully equip your new home including furniture packs, white goods, linen and curtains, lighting, outdoor furniture, swimming pools and Jacuzzis.

Polaris World furniture now has several stores and fully trained advisers on hand to help with design and layouts. The furniture is installed into properties on any of the Polaris World sites, including the new sites of Condado de Alhama and Terrazas de la Torre.

There is a good selection of different styles of furniture available, from the more traditional to the ultra modern and the shop caters for a wide range of budgets. In the range of furniture packs, it is possible to ‘pick and mix’ so one can tailor the packs to suit different tastes.

The first dinner for the Polaris World Foundation will be held on the 13th of June. The foundation has been running for four years and it supports worthwhile causes, particularly in Africa. To date, over 60 projects have been supported. The charity dinner will raise funds for the foundation and it will be held at the Lago de La Torre conference centre at La Torre Golf Resort. The price of the dinner is 50 Euros, and it starts at 9pm. At the dinner there will be a presentation about the foundation as well as a raffle and a flamenco show. Later there will be dancing, with Doss performing on stage.

There will be free buses from the other Polaris World resorts to attend the night.

The very first properties at Jardines de Alhama will be handed over from the beginning of June. Jardines de Alhama is part of the largest of all the Polaris World resorts and was the first phase to be sold. The area consists of 2 and 3 bedroom apartments, situated around gardens and pools. The top floor 2 bedroom apartments have large private roof terraces which look over the gardens and also beyond to the surrounding countryside and mountains in the area. The 3 bedroom apartments are on the ground floor, and have large terraces and a garden.  The Jardines area benefits from extensive sports facilities, including tennis courts, paddle courts, multi-sports pitches, gym and squash courts. Condado de Alhama is located just 15 minutes from beautiful beaches on the Costa Calida and it will be about 20 minutes from the new International airport at Corvera. More Jardines apartments are also being built in other areas of the Condado resort, such as in the Jardines de Naranjos area.

The social area of El Valle Resort is soon to open, with the finishing touches to the area currently taking place. The area is designed to be completely in keeping with the rest of the resort, with a typical Spanish white washed finish and wooden features. The facilities are located at the heart of the resort, opposite the first tee of the 18 hole Jack Nicklaus golf course. The area will include a Polaris World supermarket (with home delivery), a chill out bar and a barbecue / grill restaurant, called Adosado, serving a wide selection of dishes. And of course there will be a traditional Irish Pub, similar to the ones already at Mar Menor and La Torre Golf resorts.  El Valle resort is the most exclusive of all the Polaris World resorts and it has a selection of villas and apartments. The resort is nestled by the El Valle and Carrascoy nature reserve in the Murcia region of Spain.

The last properties have been sold at La Torre Golf Resort. La Torre Golf Resort is one of the 7 Polaris World resorts in the Murcia region in Spain and is 15 minutes from the beach and the airport at San Javier. La Torre has over 2,500 properties, including townhouses, villas and apartments. It has a wide range of restaurants, including a pizzeria, rice restaurant, tapas bar and buffet restaurant with international cuisine. The resort has a King’s College School which is already open and it teaches the English syllabus from nursery up to A levels. The resort has an 18 hole Jack Nicklaus golf course which is proving to be a very popular course and it is linked to the other Polaris World Jack Nicklaus courses in the area.

Now the only properties left at the resort are Polaris resales, where there are some apartments and villas for sale.

The resort Mar Menor II is being built at rapid pace with structures of some of the apartments already up to the 3rd floor. Work is taking place throughout all of the resort and the area of Mediterranean Lands is the most developed. Mediterranean Lands is opposite the new Barcelo hotel and just outside the perimeter of the Polaris World Mar Menor resort. The ground floor will be dedicated to commercial space and one end will have a large supermarket.

Mar Menor II is the extension to the original Mar Menor Resort, the first resort to be built by Polaris.  The extension has a combination of apartments, townhouses and villas including the recently released Albor apartments, with large gardens or terraces. With the extension the golf course is being upgraded from a 9 hole course to an 18 hole course and many more sports facilities are being added, including pools, tennis courts and multi-sports pitches. The original resort already has the 5* Intercontinental hotel, which has been open nearly 2 years. It is located about 5 minutes from the beach at Los Alcazares, a Spanish beach town on the Mar Menor Sea in Murcia, and is only 10 minutes away from Murcia San Javier airport.

The island apartments at La Isla de Condado are now well underway. The structure of the apartments is already up to the second floor, with the foundations having gone in earlier this year. The apartments will be surrounded by a very large lake on all sides, creating amazing views. Residents will access the island from a bridge at one end, where there will be 24 hour security gates. The island will have 3 vanishing edge swimming pools, leading onto the lake and also there will be a bar and gymnasium on the island. Although the apartments are not due to be completed until next year, they have nearly all sold.

La Isla is part of the Polaris World Condado de Alhama resort, which will have 3 Jack Nicklaus golf courses as well as a very wide range of facilities, including shops, bars, restaurants, spa and sports facilities. The resort is located close the Spanish beach town of Mazarron in the Costa Calida.
