Holidays at Roda Golf and Beach Resort

Roda Golf - The Resort

The 5* Roda Golf and Beach Resort is a great place - not just for golfers
but for non-playing partners and kids too!

Located on the Costa Calida next to the Mediterranean Sea, just 1.5 km
from The Mar Menor - a unique place with warm, shallow waters and
clean, sandy, blue flag beaches. As well as being shallow, they are gently shelving too making them safe for kids of all ages.

the newly built tennis, paddle tennis and basketball courts.

The Club house has both outdoor and
indoor bars and restaurants with live entertainment during the Summer months.

The Club House
Fantastic Clubhouse with bars and restaurants The brand new Clubhouse, which opened on 1st May 2008, is an impressive building, built on two levels with immediate visual impact. Stunning water feature and outdoor marble staircase lead
to the terrace that has great views over the golf course.

The restaurant serves excellent food, with discounts for guests, and there are also tapas and snacks available from the bar. Whichever you choose, you can eat inside or outside at any time of year.

The building has a modern design and its comfortable surroundings will make sure it becomes a second home for visitors, and a place where people can meet, relax and enjoy themselves . . .
whether you play golf or not.

The Beach Club (Open June - September)
The beach club on La Manga del Mar Menor certainly has the "wow" factor. The stunning building boasts swimming pool, jacuzzi and solarium plus direct access to the Mediterranean beach where you can try the water sports.

Eat gourmet food in the restaurant or simple snacks from the pool bar.
The views from the upstairs relaxation area are quite spectacular. It is just such a great place to relax away from the swimming pool and bar area and just enjoy a quiet, intimate cocktail, whilst looking over the Mediterranean sea.

Beach Club Building - stylish & chic
With toys for the children to keep them occupied and lifeguards by the pool to keep them safe, you can just chill out.
