Best of both worlds

Hyatt Regency La Manga, Spain
The 1,400-acre Hyatt Regency La Manga in southern Spain is probably the most renowned sporting holiday centre in the world. No fewer than three championship courses will challenge your golfing prowess; alternatively you can knock about on one of 28 tennis courts.

You can enjoy all the activities of the hotel while staying in your own luxury apartment or townhouse in Hyatt’s Las Lomas Village and Spa in the resort, which has its own pools and playgrounds.

In the evenings you can cook up a steak on the barbecue, or sneak off to Luigi’s restaurant in the Village. And for nights out, there’s a casino and entertainment at the hotel a kilometre away, plus a score of resort bars and restaurants.

Royal Jimbaran Bay, Bali
The Royal Jimbaran Bay has joined the luxury accommodation available on Bali, an island which probably has more of it than anywhere else in the world. Built in local style on a hillside above Bali’s best beach, the resort has 37 lavishly furnished private residences in a range of sizes, each with its own pool.

Guests have access to all the services they would enjoy in a hotel – 24-hour dining either in the restaurant or in their own villa with their own chef and butler, spa treatments and even a choice of pillows.
