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.

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 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 rice restaurant, Limonero has opened at La Torre Golf resort. Limonero specialises in traditional paella and has real log fires cooking the fresh dishes. Limonero is situated directly overlooking the lake at the heart of La Torre Golf resort, near the tapas bar and pizza restaurant. Limonero has two floors and nearly all the tables have good lake and golf views.

If you fancy taking up tennis or improving your skills then you can join the tennis classes at Mar Menor or La Torre Golf Resorts.
