Why move to La Torre Golf Resort
La Torre exists for golf lovers, but it is also an excellent place to settle for anyone looking to make the most of this beautiful region whilst living in a safe, luxurious environment.
An elegant village founded in 2006, together with one of the best golf courses on the Costa Calida, La Torre offers you the chance to live amid blissful surroundings on the shores of a manmade lake. This is also a town with a heart and boasts fantastic amenities including bars, restaurants, a supermarket and even an international school. Conveniently situated close to both airports and the historic cities of Murcia and Cartagena and only a short drive to the golden beaches of the Mar Menor, La Torre is the perfect base from which to discover this tranquil Mediterranean region.
Community
This is a location very much affected by the season; busy in summer and somewhat quieter the rest of the year. Whenever you choose to come you will find a friendly community largely consisting of expats.
Property
There are over 2,500 properties in La Torre, including townhouses, apartments and villas built around the golf course. Depending on the size of home you choose you’ll either have your own landscaped gardens or access to communal areas.
Amenities
Along with the well maintained 18-hole course designed by Jack Nicklaus, other amenities include a supermarket, hairdressers, bank, solicitors, children’s play areas and a nursery. There are 16 communal swimming pools to choose from, all free to use for residents.
Transport
You will be close to both the Mar Menor coast and the airport at Corvera. If you are without your own transport, you’ll find connections to the airport, but unfortunately no bus services to the wider region.
Employment
Opportunities are fairly limited within La Torre itself but both Murcia and Cartagena are in reasonable commuting distance, where there is a much broader selection of work.
Health
The town has its own medical centre along with a pharmacy in neighbouring Roldan. For more specialist healthcare, it’s a 20 minute drive to the university hospital in Murcia.
Schools
King’s College International School can be found by the southern entry gate to La Torre and follows the UK national curriculum. Neighbouring Roldan has Spanish state schools for all ages.
Cost of Living
Set away from the coast and south of the more touristy Costa Blanca, La Torre is a little less expensive than some other resorts. However the local shops can be a bit more pricey, so you should factor in occasional trips to the bigger stores in the neighbouring towns.
