Spain is a golfer’s paradise, with 497 courses in total. Add to the number of courses, a great climate, delicious food and plenty of things to do and see off the fairways and it’s no wonder that Spain is one of the world’s top destinations for golf holidays.
But Spain is a very big country – more than double the size of the UK in fact, so where in Spain should you look for your next golf holiday?
Golf Breaks in Spain: Best Destinations
There are a number of regions with a high density of golf courses in Spain. They are often popular with tourists throughout the year too, so they have the facilities you need for a golf break.
Andalucia is the area of Spain with the most golf clubs. It has 104 golf clubs, as well as wonderful beaches, warm weather and lots of vacation rentals and hotels for you to stay in.
Catalonia is the next biggest area for golf breaks in Spain with 53 golf clubs, followed by the Valencian community with 34, Castile and Leon with 33, Madrid with 28, the Balearic Islands with 24 and the Canary Islands with 23.
Let’s drill down a little further into the most popular destinations for golf breaks in Spain and what else these areas have to offer visitors.
Golf Breaks in Costa del Sol
The Costa del Sol is also known as the Costa del Golf and this area accounts for a large proportion of Andalucia’s 104 golf clubs. This area stretches from the city of Malaga and its international airport to the area of Manilva and includes tourist hotspots such as Torremolinos, Fuengirola, Marbella, Benahavis and Estepona. Contrary to popular belief, Sotogrande isn’t in the Costa del Sol, but is in Cadiz province, which is known as the Costa del la Luz – more on that later!
There are golf clubs all the way along the Costa del Sol, and they are of excellent quality. We’ve reviewed our favourite golf courses on the Costa del Sol on our website, to help you choose where you want to play on your next golf holiday and we also have a list of golf shops in Marbella if you need extra kit. There are also excellent academies and golf pros, and taking golf classes on the Costa del Sol during your holiday is a great way to really boost your skills and enjoy the courses to the full.
With golf courses dotted all around the Costa del Sol, you can choose your favourite town and easily travel to the courses you like the best. Alternatively, if you’re looking to be in the centre of the golfing action, the area with the highest density is Nueva Andalucia. This is nicknamed Golf Valley, because of having five golf courses along the valley just behind Puerto Banus. All five courses are very highly regarded and have great club houses and training facilities.
We recommend it because it’s very close to Marbella and Puerto Banus, so it ticks all the boxes for golf, restaurants, bars, beaches, history, culture and awesome nightlife. For those looking to elevate their stay, Vacation Marbella introduces the concept of Swish Marbella: a lifestyle defined by effortless elegance, comfort and premium living. This philosophy is reflected in their handpicked collection of high-end rental properties, ideal for travellers who want to combine world-class golf with refined accommodation in the heart of the Costa del Sol.
Golf Breaks in Almería
Another area of Andalucia which is well known for its golf is Almeria. This is less visited than the Costa del Sol, but you may have seen it on the silver screen, as many Westerns were filmed in the Cabo de Gata natural park. It’s also known as Europe’s greenhouse and produces millions of tons of vegetables for export.
There are several popular tourist resorts in this area, including; Roquetas de Mar, Aguadulce, El Ejido, Mojacar, Vera and Cabo de Gata. Thanks to tourism and a great climate, 11 golf courses were built in this area. The Almerimar Golf resort is one of the oldest courses in Spain, designed by Gary Player and Rob Kirby and opened in 1976, which still attracts many golfers from around the world. There’s also Europe’s first and second desert course in Almeria – Desert Springs Golf Club and Golf Valle Del Este. Many of the golf resorts in Almeria also feature hotels and spas with fitness and wellness facilities to appeal to non-golfers too.
Golf Breaks in Murcia
The Murcia region has 17 golf clubs boasting 19 courses and a total of 348 holes between them. Golf in Murcia began with the La Manga Club being built by golfer and businessman Gregory Peters in 1972. This was a pioneering resort, based around golf, with two courses, which was unheard of in Spain at that time. It has since developed into a resort with lots of sports facilities and accommodation including an excellent tennis centre. Since then, more and more courses have been built, including Alhama Signature, designed by Jack Nicklaus, El Valle Golf, which has hosted many world-class competitions, and Dave Thomas’ Golf Altorreal. The golf resorts in the area, plus the beaches and calm waters of the Mar Menor, make this a great golf destination.
Golf Breaks in Costa Blanca
The stunning beaches of Spain’s “white coast” in the Alicante province stretches from Denia to Pilar de la Horada and contains many holiday hotspots, including Benidorm and Alicante. There are over 20 golf courses in the Costa Blanca. The area is split into the North and South region, with 10 in the North (Javea to Alicante) and 10 in the South (Alicante to Torrevieja). Las Colinas Golf Club is an outstanding course designed by Miguel Ángel Jiménez and Font del Llop, the Club de Golf Jávea and the historic Villamartín Golf are all highly recommended. As well as golf and beaches, you can also climb in the Costa Blanca, as part of an active holiday and the city of Alicante is stunning.
Golf Breaks in Costa de la Luz
Sotogrande is the pinnacle of golf in Spain, and although it’s close to the Costa del Sol, it is in fact in an area known as the Costa de la Luz in the Cadiz province. It is home to what’s considered the best course in Spain and one of the very best courses in Europe – Valderrama. This legendary course has played host to the Volvo Masters and the Ryder Cup and is a must play for many golfers. But there’s more on offer for golfers in Sotogrande, a total of seven golf courses in a very small area. The area is also known for its white sand beaches, yachting, polo and gastronomy, as well as beautiful countryside.
There isn’t much of a hub for nightlife in Sotogrande, particularly during the winter months. Many travellers base themselves at a holiday rental in Estepona, a vibrant and cultural town with great restaurants and several good golf courses of its own. This town sits between Marbella and Sotogrande, so can be a great base for both.
Golf Breaks in Costa Brava
We already mentioned that Catalonia has 53 golf courses, and the Costa Brava is one of the most important tourist areas in this region. It stretches from the town of Blanes, 60 km northeast of Barcelona to the French border and has been a very popular tourist destination since the 1950s. Golf in Costa Brava is very well developed, with 8 golf clubs and 11 golf courses and it has a long history, with the first course Golf de Pals opening in 1966. PGA Catalunya is ranked one of the top ten courses in Europe and the Real Club Golf El Prat hosted 10 editions of the European Tour Spanish Open. You can enjoy the beaches and towns and of course fit in a visit to the amazing city of Barcelona during a golf break on the Costa Brava.
Golf Breaks in Mallorca
Although it’s a relatively small island, Mallorca is big on golf! There are 24 golf courses in total, with 21 open for non-members to play. The top courses are the Robert Trent Jones Jr. designed Alcanada and Son Gual, which are highly regarded, but there are many more to enjoy and the travel time is low due to the island’s size. As well as the golf, you have the wonderful, historic city of Palma to enjoy, the party hotspot of Magaluf and wonderful ports such as Andratx. It’s also a hotspot for sailing, with lovely ports and coves dotted around the coastline.
Golf Breaks in the Canary Islands
There are 23 courses in the Canary Islands, most of which can be found on the islands of Tenerife and Gran Canaria. It’s a favourite winter golf destination as the temperatures don’t dip below 15°C and there’s very low rainfall. Gran Canaria is home to the oldest golf club in Spain, the Real Club de Golf de Las Palmas, which has been offering golf since 1891. There are wonderful courses designed by leading golf course architects including Anfi Tauro Golf Course on Gran Canaria and the Dave Thomas designed Abama Golf in Tenerife. Off the golf course, you can visit the volcanoes, enjoy amazing hiking, enjoy art, culture, wines and nightlife, soak up the sun on beautiful beaches and even spot dolphins and whales too.
Why book a golf holiday to Spain?
As you can see, Spain is an amazing golf destination, with a huge range of golf courses, in beautiful places. There are frequent and low-cost flights from the UK, Ireland and Europe, which makes it very easy to get here. Plus, as the golf season in Spain tends to be the low season for the rest of the holidaymakers, flights and accommodation are much better value and easier to come by too.
Andalucia offers the widest choice of courses and travel is easy between them. We’d recommend basing yourself in Marbella or Estepona for lots of great things to see and do, within very easy reach of a wide range of golf courses. Trust in the holiday experts and golf lovers at Vacation Marbella to help you plan the best golf holiday in Andalucia.

The draft aims to balance skill levels while creating intriguing pairings and rivalries. Within each team, pairings rotate across matches. This means players may team up with different partners during the tournament, adding strategic depth and variety.
These teams compete in 12 matches, with a cumulative scoring format to decide the winning team.
The series offers a record-breaking prize pool of $1.7 million, the highest in padel history. Winners receive the coveted Reserve Cup Trophy, symbolizing excellence and innovation in the sport.

[post_content] => The Davis Cup is coming back to Marbella this September! We will host a pivotal Qualifiers tie between Spain and Denmark, which serves as a critical gateway to the prestigious Final 8 of the tournament. Taking place on the weekend of the 13th and 14th of September, at the renowned Puente Romano Tennis Club, this match holds significant implications for both nations, with the winner securing a coveted spot in the championship phase.
Marbella's selection as host city is a testament to its world-class sports facilities and long history of successfully staging high-profile tennis events. The ultimate culmination of the Davis Cup will take place from November 18th to 23rd 2025, at the Super Tennis Arena in Bologna, Italy, where the world's top eight national teams will compete for the title.
Tickets are now on sale and in this article, we’ll be sharing everything you need to do to enjoy these exciting tennis matches in Marbella, plus where to stay.
Spain vs. Denmark, Davis Cup tie in Marbella
This tournament will pit the Spanish team against the Danish team for the 2nd round of qualifiers, to decide who will proceed to the championship phase.
Spain sailed through with a 3-1 win over Switzerland in the Qualifiers 1st Round, while Denmark had to work harder, achieving a comeback victory against Serbia in the 1st Round.
Spain and Denmark have faced each other six times in the history of the Davis Cup, with Spain ahead on victories 3-2. Spain have been Davis Cup champions six times, last winning the title in 2019, while Denmark is still searching for their first win. At time of writing, Spain is currently 7th in the ranking, with Denmark ranked 18th, so Spain goes into the tournament as favorites.
While official team nominations for the Spain vs. Denmark tie in Marbella are typically finalized closer to the event date, the Davis Cup official website provides an indication of players who have recently represented Spain in previous ties.
The Danish team have the highest ranked player - Holgar Rune, who is ranked 8th in the Singles ranking and has been ranked as high as 4th in the world, so he’ll be hard to beat. The Spanish team players include Pedro Martinez (Singles – 47, Doubles - 92), Jaume Munar (Singles – 51, Doubles 104), Roberto Carbakkes Baena (Singles 79, Doubles 582) and Martin Landaluce (Singles ranking 138). Completing the Danish team is Johannes Ingildsen (Doubles ranking – 128) and Elmer Moeller (Singles ranking – 102 and Doubles ranking 1,405).
Each nation generally fields a team comprising four or five players, with the country's captain making the ultimate decision on which players will participate in the singles and doubles matches. We’ll wait to see which players are finally picked to represent their country.
What matches will be played?
Davis Cup Qualifier ties are structured as a series of five matches, commonly referred to as "rubbers," and contested over two days. Day 1 typically features two singles matches, followed by one doubles match and two reverse singles matches on Day 2. All individual matches are played as the best of three tie-break sets. To win the tie, a country must secure victories in three or more of the five scheduled matches.
Spain enters this encounter with a strong performance in the Qualifiers 1st Round, with Denmark demonstrating considerable resilience by overcoming Serbia in their 1st Round tie. The victor of the Spain vs. Denmark tie will earn a highly sought-after position among the elite eight teams that will ultimately contend for the championship in Bologna.
The format of five rubbers, where each point is crucial, means that the entire tie can pivot on the performance of any given player in their singles or doubles contest. This structure makes every game full of drama and great to watch! The "best of three tie-break sets" format for individual matches further amplifies the potential for close contests and dynamic shifts in momentum – we can’t wait!
Matches are estimated to start at 11.00 each day, with doors opening around 10.00.
Where to buy a ticket?
Tickets went on sale for this exciting tournament in June and are available online on the RFET website, and the El Corte Ingles ticketing website, but are selling fast. You can purchase daily tickets from €53, or a two-day ticket from €93.
There will also be a ticket office in the tennis club, where you can purchase tickets on the days itself, subject to availability.
Davis Cup Final in Bologna, Italy
The Davis Cup season culminates with the Final 8 tournament, a knockout stage where the world's top national teams vie for the coveted championship title. This is what the two stage qualifiers are leading up to!
The Davis Cup Final 8 for 2025 will take place from November 18th to 23rd at the Super Tennis Arena in the Bologna Fiere exhibition center in Italy.
The Final 8 operates as a knockout stage, with each tie consisting of three rubbers: two singles matches and one doubles match. The country that wins at least two of these three matches advances to the next round.
We already know two of the 8 teams, as Italy automatically secures a spot as the host nation and the Netherlands also gains direct entry, having been the runners-up of the 2024 Davis Cup. The remaining spots will be filled by the winners of the Davis Cup Qualifiers 2nd Round ties, with the Spain vs. Denmark tie in Marbella being one such crucial match.
Puente Romano Tennis Club, the home of the Davis Cup in Marbella
The Puente Romano Tennis Club is a prestigious venue with a rich tennis history, which has previously played host to four Davis Cup qualifiers, as well as many other important tournaments such as the Marbella Masters. The club is particularly noted for its outdoor clay courts, a surface that should offer a strategic advantage to the Spanish players, who have a great history on the surface.
The club is located within the luxurious Puente Romano Beach Resort on the "Golden Mile" in Marbella and boasts ten courts - eight clay and two hard. The fantastic Center Court is clay and can seat approximately 2,500 people. It also features four Padel Tennis Courts, a state-of-the-art Gym, Fitness Studio, Turkish Bath, Sauna, and Steam Room, Luxurious Changing Rooms and a café overlooking the courts.
Established in 1979, the club was initially managed by tennis legend Bjorn Borg. Wimbledon Champion Manolo Santana took over in 1983 and guided its development until 1998. It has hosted various prestigious events, including ATP, WTA, and Davis Cup matches, attracting top players like Boris Becker, John McEnroe, Serena Williams, and Henri Leconte.
The history of the Davis Cup in Marbella
Marbella first hosted the Davis Cup in 1989 and has hosted it four times in total – 1989, 2009, 2018 and 2022. All matches have been played at the historic Puente Romano Tennis Club, which is once again hosting in 2025. Last year, Malaga hosted the finals of the Davis Cup, showing the popularity of the area for the organizers.
Marbella's consistent selection as a host city for Davis Cup events, underscores its established reputation for delivering world-class sporting competitions, supported by outstanding facilities and a strategic home-court advantage on clay.
Marbella is a wonderful destination for any lovers of sports and the great outdoors, whether you want to watch, or play! You can play padel tennis, golf, tennis, try polo, sailing and watersports, go hiking, horse riding and more.
Where to stay in Marbella if you want to watch the tennis?
Parking in and around the Puente Romano can be tricky, so ideally, you’ll want to be within walking distance of the club. This means choosing a vacation rental on the Golden Mile.
This is a great place to stay to be within easy reach of the tennis club, the center of Marbella with its historic Old Town, and the exclusive enclave of Puerto Banus. It also boasts some of the most beautiful and desirable properties in the area.
Alternatively, you can base yourself in a vacation rental in Marbella Old Town, for history, culture and charm on your doorstep. It’s only a short cab ride from the Puente Romano, and we can also organize a private transfer from your vacation rental to make it really easy for you.
We hope to see you in September, for some exciting Davis Cup action!

[post_content] => You’re spoilt for choice when you’re looking for villas in Marbella – there are hundreds, if not thousands to choose from, to rent and buy. They range from the modest to the spectacular, and the developers and owners are always looking for ways to differentiate theirs from the competition. They do that with architecture, state of the art fixtures and fittings and amazing facilities; from pools and spas to gyms to tennis courts and even putting greens.
Another way to stand out from the crowd is with a name — and what better than to take a name which is known world over? Some villas have been named after famous people, others have been designed by, or in collaboration with famous names from the world of fashion or iconic brands. In Marbella, this sense of distinction is also captured by the Swish Marbella lifestyle — a curated selection of properties and experiences that embody elegance, exclusivity and effortless style, designed for those who appreciate refined living in every detail.
In this article we’re looking at six of these amazing villas and you can find hundreds of stunning villas in Marbella to rent on our website.
This stunning villa is named after the American professional golfer and golf course designer Jack Nicklaus, due to its prime location in the so-called Golf Valley of Nueva Andalucia, home to five fantastic courses. The iconic golfer played many times at the Las Brisas golf course, very close to the property, and so the owners were inspired to take his name.
The villa has been meticulously renovated and embodies elegance, comfort and craftmanship. It sleeps eight people in its four spacious and exquisitely designed bedrooms and boasts wonderful interior and exterior spaces to enjoy. Relax after a game of golf, a run, or a workout, in the heated pool, spa and outdoor hot tub, or enjoy sports or movies in the entertainment room. If you love to cook, the spectacular indoor and outdoor kitchens will inspire you, or be the perfect space for a private chef to cook up some magic for your party.
Be transported to the White Isle, with this Ibiza-inspired designer villa close to Marbella. It is named after the model Kate Moss, who loves the boho chic cool of Ibiza and is a regular visitor to Marbella. This villa is an ode to her beauty and love of design and wellness.
Expect a mix of Ibiza charm and Marbella elegance, and a bespoke design which inspires serenity and connection. There are five bedrooms, a lovely open-plan kitchen, living and dining space, all beautifully appointment and designed. Channel your inner supermodel topping up your tan around the private pool, and enjoying cocktails and champagne in the sunken fire pit lounge, and rustling up healthy and delicious meals in the outdoor or indoor kitchens. Kate Moss has been on a personal journey of self-discovery and wellness, and so have the health-conscious owners of this property, who have provided an environment aligned with mindful living and optimal wellbeing, where Miss Moss herself would feel perfectly at home.
Villa Birkin in Nueva Andalucia is a gracious five-bedroom retreat, which is serene, stylish and impeccably designed. It is a haven which combines functionality and indulgence, just like its namesake, the iconic Birkin bag. It has the elegance and grace of model, actress and musician Jane Birkin, and is the perfect place for stylish entertaining, relaxing and unwinding.
It is a cozy holiday retreat designed for sophisticated living and effortless luxury, including five bedrooms, four bathrooms, a heated swimming pool set in manicured gardens, a private gym, cinema room and wonderful interior and exterior living spaces.
The location is perfect for keen golfers, being within walking distance of some fantastic courses, and the wonderful restaurants, shopping and nightlife in nearby Puerto Banus. You could even stay in Villa Birkin and pop into the Hermes store in Puerto Banus for a Birkin bag to remember the trip by!
This contemporary villa near to Estepona offers the very best place to enjoy a relaxing holiday in a trendy, safe and luxurious area, away from prying eyes. It is ultra-modern and offers the maximum in privacy and comfort, alongside top-notch amenities. Highlights include an outstanding outdoor pool and wraparound terrace and a fantastic games room, complete with pool table and cinema area. We love how the huge windows disappear to bring the outside in and make this a really striking piece of design.
Named after the Spanish tennis legend, who has recently hung up his racket, Villa Nadal has a strong sense of Spanish style inside and out. This comfortable and elegant villa boasts 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a lovely private pool and Andalusian garden. Located in Elviria, near to some of the best beaches on the Costa del Sol, not to mention the legendary Nikki Beach, this is a great place to be if you want to hit the beach, or cook up a storm in its splendid kitchen. If you want to follow in Nadal’s footsteps during your holiday, it’s within easy reach of the Royal Tennis Club Marbella and the new Rafa Nadal Tennis Centre, which will boast seven clay tennis courts and 2 padel courts. Nadal has frequently holidayed in Marbella and has several investments in the area, including the new tennis center, so you might even be able to see the great man himself during your stay.
Keen golfer and legendary footballer Andres Iniesta, would love this contemporary villa in the La Resina Golf resort, which shares his name. It’s elegance, modern design and stunning features make it perfect for discerning guests. You’ll love the infinity-edge pool and lush garden, and a recreation room where you can play pool and ping pong, and watch the match in the cinema room.
