The Costa del Golf — Without Breaking the Bank
The golf in Costa del Sol is remarkable — with some of the finest courses in Continental Europe, so much so that it is often called the Costa del Golf. We have handpicked the best of the region including European Tour venues such as La Reserva, Valderrama, and Finca Cortesín apart from the picturesque Marbella GCC and Real Sotogrande for your discerning tastes.
All this, without breaking the bank. Two affordable luxury hotels — the beachfront Amàre Marbella and the estate-set NH Sotogrande — deliver exceptional value while putting you within 30 minutes of every tee time. Trust us, you will not be disappointed.
