Best golf resorts in Marbella

Nestled along the sun-kissed shores of the Mediterranean, Marbella has long been a go-to destination for our golfers; renowned for its stunning landscapes, vibrant culture, and a plethora of top-notch golf courses.

A resort break here means that you needn’t worry about sorting your evening meal or booking tee times at various courses. Simply turn up, kick back, and relax at one of these top golf resorts in Marbella!

One of our most popular resorts in Europe, La Cala continues to captivate golfers with its three challenging championship courses and an abundance of activities to enjoy around the destination. The America, Asia, and Europa courses are joined by a variety of restaurants and bars, as well as a fantastic spa.

With all this going on, it’s easy to see why we’ve held our Golfbreaks Pairs event at La Cala, the ideal trip for those looking for an element of competition from their getaway. And if all that wasn’t enough to convince you, the property is just a 35-minute journey from Malaga Airport and a 20-minute journey into the centre of Marbella.

The 170 bedrooms are of the highest quality, offering the perfect escape once the day is done. However, with both Marbella and Puerto Banus in close proximity, there are plenty of reasons to push your bedtime back a little!
