Tennis lovers looking to finish the 2015 season with a flourish can do so under sunny skies at Spain's La Manga Club this December when the award-winning sports and leisure resort hosts the 13th edition of the popular La Manga Club Seniors' Tennis Open.

An established part of the tennis calendar for amateurs across Europe, players can take advantage of outstanding value at Europe's leading sports venue this winter, with tournament packages available from just €307 (£220 approx) per person for a five-night stay including tournament entry.

Competition is expected to be as fierce as ever when the event takes place from from November 29 to December 4, with the tournament an official Grade Two International Tennis Federation seniors' tournament.

Players will compete at La Manga Club's 28-court academy in a variety of singles and doubles competitions, ranging from over-35 to over-75 categories for men and over-35 to over-65 age groups for ladies, with a selection of luxury tennis and leisure breaks and tennis equipment to be won.

Tournament packages feature five nights' accommodation including breakfast, a gala dinner and prize-giving ceremony and are available from just €387 (£275 approx) per person in the five-star Hotel La Manga Club Principe Felipe, or only €307 per person in the fully-serviced four-star Las Lomas apartments.

Running alongside the tennis event, La Manga Club is also hosting the 15th La Manga Club Golf Open from December 1-5, with both competitions helping to confirm the award-winning sports and leisure venue's reputation as Spain's flagship resort.
