Conferences, incentives, product launches, private dinners and weddings for up to 400 guests take place at La Manga Club, a sports and leisure resort on the Mediterranean coast near Cartagena, in the Region of Murcia. Events are hosted in the five-star Grand Hyatt La Manga Club Golf & Spa, which has a 400 m² ballroom, eight smaller rooms, two terraces and 192 bedrooms.
Seminars and company events
The events team works on executive committees, conventions, incentive trips, brand and product presentations, training sessions and team building. Meetings can be paired with activities for groups on the resort: corporate golf with tournaments and clinics, tennis and padel, wellness sessions and outdoor team challenges. For breakout sessions, the ballroom splits into four soundproofed rooms, and four small rooms of 20 to 30 m² suit boardroom meetings of 10 to 16 people. A press room at the football center and rooms at the golf academy add further options for larger programs.

La Manga Club hosts ceremonies, cocktail receptions and wedding banquets, as well as christenings and other family celebrations. Events can be held indoors in the banquet rooms or outside on terraces with views, on the golf courses or in other areas of the resort.

History and setting
La Manga Club began in January 1972, when American businessman Gregory Peters bought farmland at Atamaría to build a golf course, which was seeded in under 11 months. A hotel, apartments, a football center and a tennis club followed. The resort has hosted five Spanish Opens. Today it covers 6 km² with three 18-hole golf courses, a Racquets Club with 26 tennis courts and 7 padel courts, eight football pitches, a spa and a gym. It borders the Calblanque regional park, close to the Cabo de Palos marine reserve.
Getting there
The resort is about 15 minutes by car from the center of Cartagena. The address is 1 Golf Street, 30389 Cartagena.
