Get away from the cold and wet of winter to a beautiful estancia in Argentina.  The estancia is located not far from Buenos Aires and is run by former Stewarton instructor, Juan Martin Sarli.

Your day will start off with either wooden horse or stick and ball practice followed by lunch.  The afternoon is, of course, siesta time or you may like to go shopping in Mercedes or lie lazily by the pool.  In the evening you will take to the field to play some chukkas finishing up with a sumptuous dinner.

 Not only will you get to play polo but you can visit  Buenos Aires for shopping or the nightlife which is incredible.  The city only wakes up at 12am so be prepared for a late night!  Next door to the estancia is a Spa so if your aching muscles need some tender, loving care that is the place to go.

The cost is $250 per day plus your flight.   This price includes all polo, accommodation, meals and non-alcoholic drinks.  Juan will be happy to welcome you to the estancia between November and the end of March.

This really is a wonderful holiday and something that you will be talking about for a long time.  Not only that but you will be amazed at the improvement in your polo. 

Not everyone can spare two weeks to go to Argentina to play polo so we have linked with a club in Sotogrande to offer you polo holidays closer to home.  Sotogrande has been described as the Palm Beach of Europe where it is a place to see and be seen and remains an exclusive resort to visit.

It is only a couple of hours flight away from Britian making it perfect for a long weekend and with sun 360 days of the year, polo is played all year round.  The nearest airports are Gibralta and Malaga.

The polo course is almost identical to those in Argentina with mornings for stick and ball and evenings for chukkas.  If you would like to stay at the polo club the cost is 365 euros per day  or you may prefer to stay nearer the beach in which case the cost for just the polo is 290 euros per day. 

We have a perfectly located 2 bed apartment to rent out which is 150 yards from the beach with it's sailing school and beach bars.  On the beach you can also windsurf, kayak and take the catamaran.  The tennis club is also a few hundreds yards walk from the apartment so even if you don't want to play polo there is plenty to do or it is ideal to leave the family at while you do!  All the stylish bars and restaurants are within walking distance too and Santa Maria Polo Club is a 5 minute drive away.
