Introduction
30% off for the last 10 units unsold, down from €171,000 to from €120,000! An exciting new intimate development BUILT FRONT LINE, RIGHT ON THE BEACH that has ‘Wow!’ factor aplenty, offering something really special at fantastic low prices in THE position ‘to die for’ placing Arenales Del Mar Menor at the top of anyone’s viewing list.

The norm for Polaris World is to build luxurious properties within a secure and gated perimeter in the style of an all inclusive ‘Resort’ centred on a Jack Nicklaus golf course, however this lovely development is radically different, as it is a small development of apartments and penthouses built at the very tip of the magnificent La Manga Strip – THE place to be! Arguably this is possibly the best of all worlds – a fantastic position (I dare you to find something better for the price) built with typical Polaris World panache for an incredibly low price yet with all of the attractions of all of the Polaris World Resorts available to the privileged property owners of Arenales Del Mar Menor.

Our Personal Opinion
This is an intimate development built front line right on the beach offering fantastic views, yet in a secluded area of beach that has never been crowded or busy, on the edge of a protected nature reserve, yet the hustle and bustle of the busier beaches, the fabulous marina with its dozens of café bars and restaurants are within walking distance. The sunsets from the properties will be fantastic, viewed over the flat calm that typifies the famous Mar Menor, the beautiful inland sea, viewed from one of the best beaches along the whole of the famous La Manga Strip.

The La Encañizada Nature Reserve
The reserve abuts the development.  It is truly special place, a place of quietness and tranquillity.  The reserve has been as protected area since 1992 and from 1998 has been considered a protected bird sanctuary. There is no political will to develop this reserve, indeed the influential and strong green party here would not allow it! There are a few buildings dotted within the reserve, all closely related to the traditional fishing methods of this region.  Indeed some of the canes used in the past to trap mullet and other fish are still visible in the shallow waters of the reserve. 

Location and Communications
• Located front line on the beautiful beach of the Mar Menor.
• Access not only by road, but also by sea is possible, as ferries cross the Mar Menor and berth in the Thomas Maestro marina nearby.
• The properties are located a short drive from the San Javier airport of Murcia, Alicante airport is within reach and the new international airport of Corvera (due to open in 2010) will be within 1 hours drive.  Many low cost airlines are already operating to this area from throughout the UK, Ireland and Europe.
• An excellent new motorway network is now in place in this region of Murcia so access is superb.

Developer
Polaris World is the most prolific developer in the region of Murcia, with approximately 60 Polaris World properties being sold every day!

All of the inland Resorts overlook one, or more on-site 18 hole Nicklaus Design golf courses. What’s more, buying a property on one Polaris World Golf Resort also gives you access to play golf and use all of the other facilities on any other Polaris World Golf Resort.

• Choice of views, overlooking the infinity swimming pool with the beach and the Mar Menor beyond, or overlooking the Mar Menor with the nature reserve beyond.

Facilities
• Of course the warm waters of the Mar Menor are just a few steps from your own back door here, but The Mediterranean is also a short walk away too.  Imagine having the choice of two seas within walking distance!
• As an owner of a Polaris World property, homeowners become members of the Polaris Club, allowing access to all Polaris World Resorts facilities, be they shops, hotels, sports, spas or golf.  Of  note is the Nicklaus Golf Trail, the 9 golf courses designed by Jack Nicklaus, all of which are within Polaris World Resorts, and all are within a 25 kilometre radius.
• Along the La Manga Strip are a multitude of shops, café bars and restaurants, a Church, bus services, a little ‘tourist train’ runs in the height of the season, and of course numerous hotels. 
• A brand new 5-Star hotel and spa has recently opened very near to the properties. 
• The Strip has numerous marinas along it, the closest and the largest, most sophisticated and best equipped is the ‘Thomas Maestro’ marina, facing in to the Mar Menor, is less than 5 minutes away.  Opposite the Thomas Maestro marina, facing out to The Mediterranean, a new marina the ‘Puerto Mayor’ is to be built. 
• A great deal of money is being spent at this, the very end of the La Manga Strip.  

Holiday home or permanent residence?
This development is aimed squarely at those who appreciate the best in life, as the La Manga Strip and the Mar Menor sea are famous attractions in their own right, but this end of the strip has the best of all worlds, a quite (almost ‘private’) beach with the busier beaches still within walking distance away, a small golf course within walking distance, fantastic restaurants and more all available nearby, so it may come as no surprise that the Spanish in particular favour this area, so expect many of the apartments to be owned by the Spanish who will use them as holiday homes throughout August in particular, with the others owned by northern Europeans using their apartments as holiday homes throughout the year.

Gated Community?
No.

Building site or finished development?
Not finished yet.

• Treated wooden pergolas on some properties.
• PVC double glazing.

Cafés, bars, restaurants, shops etc.
The development is in a quiet area right at the very tip of the La Manga Strip – go any further and you’ll get you feet wet! Yet within walking distance are dozens of café bars and restaurants, the shops and a fabulous marina. The rest of The Strip itself has countless café bars, restaurants, shops, numerous hotels, a Spa and a Church along its length.

Golf
There is a small golf course within walking distance and all of the Polaris World golf courses are available to Polaris World property owners. Polaris opted for the best golfer in the World, Jack Nicklaus, to design their courses. There are only 10 Jack Nicklaus Signature golf courses in the whole of Europe … and 9 Jack Nicklaus courses are on Polaris World Resorts. All 9 are within a 25 km radius. A Polaris shuttle bus serves them all. Owners secure discounted green fees. The Polaris slogan “Polaris World offers the best golf opportunity in Europe” seems, if anything, to be an understatement.

Beach
The beach is literally a stones throw from the apartments and penthouses, as they are front line beach. The fabulous beach gently shelves into the safe, shallow and warm waters of the fabulous Mar Menor Sea, a unique inland sea with a huge diversity of water sports. For more details select ‘Mar Menor & La Manga’ in the left menu under the bullet point ‘Places of Interest’.

Festivals
There is a huge diversity of festivals locally, and for jazz fans the now world famous San Javier Jazz Festival is 25 minutes drive away.

Why so inexpensive for such a glorious location?
These properties have been built as ‘2nd Level Holiday Apartments’ in accordance with Decree 75/2005 which sates that, amongst other requirements, that owners of these properties are legally obliged not to live in them all year round and to designate a certain time period for rental of the property to third parties. Would that be a problem? Many, if not the majority of owners of holiday properties do actually rent out their properties for some of the year, as it helps to pay the running costs. If you require more details we are happy to provide them to you.
