After a brief two night escape to the warmer climes of sunny Murcia, luxury hotels, spa treatments and fantastic food I'm a new person.
I headed south one sunny but very chilly morning towards the warmest spot not only in Spain but in Europe. My destination? The 5* Intercontinental Hotel Mar Menor Golf Resort & Spa. I didn't play golf, but I did try the signature treatment from Espa the luxurious international spa chain found within the Intercontinental Resort.
If you like to be pampered and your other half likes to play golf then I don't have a higher reccomendation than the spot that offers over 300 days of sunshine a year.
The hotel is in the premium but not-in-your-face luxury market and has a gym, indoor and outdoor pool as well as the gym.
And as for restaurants - well tons of choice, unfortunately I didn't stay long enough for the Aqua restaurant to finish it's winter break but the I certainly managed to try a sample of the Nomad Restaurant serving it's Mediterranean Cuisine menu.
Would I go back? Oh yes, but I'm afraid it would have to be when the Aqua Restaurant with it's 4-fork rated Modern Spanish Cuisine menu and a water list of 111 choices of bottled water from around the world. - Can't wait.
