Introduction
The Polaris World El Valle Resort, as seen on British TV! Placed against a backdrop of mountains, inland but with views towards the coast, set within the region of Murcia  El Valle is “the most exclusive Polaris development to date”, “a true landmark of design” and “set in a stunning valley location”. This is so upmarket and exclusive - this is where Jose Luis Hernandez, the President of Polaris World himself lives!

If you are looking for somewhere safe, secure, exclusive, upmarket with real kudos then the Polaris World El Valle luxury 5-Star Resort must be it! It should definitely be in your short list, as this is really special place that as it becomes more mature and ‘lived-in’ can only get better. One cannot fail to be impressed with these luxury properties. There are still a limited number of very special 'give away' bargains here - for details follow this link to discounted properties at Polaris World El Valle.

Our Personal Opinion
It is difficult not to be bias in here because both of us (Andy Leach and Larry Warren, the spanish home 4 u business partners) each have villas on El Valle! Before we even knew each other we had each chosen El Valle, the most exclusive and upmarket development that Polaris has ever built as the place to bring our families. The villas are stunning; each has such a huge ‘Wow-Factor’. This is a small, and very select up market development set at the foothills of the mountains backed by protected land – it is not a suburb of some greater development. This is set apart from the rest, a really special place, where Porsches, Mercedes, Maseratis and 6 Series BMWs are parked on the drives and international footballers have their holiday homes. But even with such wealthy residents, you’ll not see iron security grills on any windows here; this is a Resort with a highly secure perimeter, with active as well as passive security and a place where the children play in the streets.

Golf
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. The El Valle Jack Nicklaus course is a masterpiece which fits into the overall jigsaw, in that the ‘buy on one, play on all’ concept allows owners and their guests to play on all 9 of the Jack Nicklaus courses on the ‘Nicklaus Golf Trail’. 3 courses are open, 6 more are to be built, 3 of which are ‘Bear’s Best’ courses, and all 9 are within a 25 km radius of El Valle. 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 Mediterranean is 25 minutes drive away, and the warm inland sea of the Mar Menor is 30 minutes drive away. For more on Mar Menor select ‘Mar Menor and La Manga’ in the left hand menu under the bullet point ‘Places of Interest’. Of particular note is the fact that Polaris World are going to build a fabulous Beach Club right at the very tip of the magnificent La Manga Strip on the Mar Menor. This fabulous Beach Club will become available to all owners (and their guests) from ALL Polaris World Resorts, and a Polaris World Shuttle Bus will take them there! Hence owning a Polaris World property automatically becomes a ‘Golf AND Beach’ property prospect. For more information see ‘Polaris Beach Club’ in the left menu under the bullet point ‘Resorts & Developments’.

Festivals
El Valle is close to numerous small Spanish towns, each of whom holds regular festivals as festivals are so crucial to the Spanish way of life – but the city of Murcia is just a 15 minute drive away with famous festivals being held here for all to enjoy.

Polaris Rental Club
Polaris World spends millions on TV advertising (€18 million budget for 2008). They are creating the interest. If you buy a Polaris World property and wish to rent it out then tap into the interest that the advertising campaign is creating. To assist you further Polaris World have now launched ‘Vacaciones Polaris World’. They have created a glossy 74 page heavyweight brochure, a DVD, a price structure and lots of ideas, so why not let them try to fill your property with paying guests! For more information and their 2008 rental price lists see ‘Polaris Rental Club’ in the left menu under the ‘General’ bullet point.
