Most golfers prefer playing in the sun, and the Costa Blanca is one of Spain’s most popular golfing destinations.
The region’s diverse landscapes, rich culture, wonderful climate, and superb facilities make it an ideal holiday spot, easily accessible via the airports of Valencia, Alicante, and Murcia. With numerous golf courses throughout the area, visiting golfers enjoy an excellent choice no matter where they stay.
Alicante is a thriving city, boasting its own castle, beautiful beaches, and a lively city centre with excellent shopping and nightlife. South of Alicante lies the well-established golfing area of Villamartin. Just inland, the city of Elche is famous for its palm groves—the largest oasis in Europe—designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Many of these groves are open to the public as parks and gardens. Heading north from Alicante, you will reach Valencia, known for its historical centre and vibrant fiestas.
Further south, the historic port of Cartagena and the region’s capital, Murcia—often called “the capital of Baroque”—with its stunning cathedral, offer rich cultural experiences. On the southeastern Costa Cálida, flanked by the Murcian hills and overlooking both the Mediterranean and the Mar Menor lagoon, lies La Manga Club. This exclusive sporting and leisure resort features three championship golf courses, making it one of Europe’s premier destinations for golf enthusiasts.
