Polaris World News

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.

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.

Work at the Oasis town centre at Condado de Alhama resort is now underway. The land has been levelled and the infrastructure is starting to be put into place. The Oasis centre will have over 60,000 square metres of commercial space and it will cover an area of over 70,000 square meters, making it one of the largest shopping centres in Murcia. The centre is located at the heart of the Condado de Alhama, making access easy from all parts of the resort. The shopping centre will be surrounded by a large lake and the Moroccan architecture will be complemented with wide walkways and water features.

The commercial centre will include a wide range of shops, bars, restaurants, a large spa and supermarket. The restaurants will cater for all tastes, with a variety of budgets and cuisines. Commercial space is available for sale at the resort and a number of the units have already been sold. Polaris World will also be running a number of the services in the centre. It will be open to both residents of the resort and local people, which is attracting large shop chains as well as people looking to move to Spain and set up a business.

The centre will be complemented with smaller areas of restaurants and bars around the resort, including the golf club house at the Jack Nicklaus Signature course.

The Bamboo Restaurant and Bar is now open at La Torre Golf Resort. The ultra-modern bar serves cocktails and a wide range of food including sushi and delicious burgers. Every Friday and Sunday night there is live music in Bamboo and the venue has been designed so there is plenty of space for both dancing and for chilling out. Large sofas provide comfy spaces to sip a drink and relax. One of the highlights of the restaurant, is the swimming pool and decking area, surrounded by Polaris World furniture and a multitude of sunloungers. The Bamboo restaurant is in the middle of the largest lake at La Torre and is accessed by two wooden bridges, near the pizza restaurant and the pub.  The swimming pool is on one side of the restaurant and has views over the lake to the golf, the 5* Intercontinental hotel and the rest of the La Torre centre.

All the staff are dressed in white linen uniforms and the high ceilings make Bamboo very light and airy. It will be a great venue on hot summer evenings, when you can chill out by the pool and order a drink from the terrace bar.

Bamboo is the 8th restaurant/bar to open at the resort, after El Roble, Pinos, Encina, Acacia, Limonero, Woodhouse and the Irish Pub. The ice cream and juice parlour is also near to Bamboo and the Intercontinental is really starting to take shape. La Torre Golf Resort was the second Polaris World Resort to open and has an 18 hole golf course.

The supermarket has just opened at Hacienda Riquelme Resort. The supermarket will be open 7 days a week: in the summer 9am-9pm Monday to Saturday and Sundays and Bank Holidays from 10am to 3pm.  The supermarket stocks a wide range of traditional Spanish food as well as many British brand names. There will be fresh bread every day and the supermarkets also stocks other household products, from cleaners to toiletries.
