Where Mediterranean calm meets a golfer’s dream
As the Sierra Nevada peaks blush in the dawn light and the Mediterranean laps the golden Costa Tropical shore, Impressive Playa Granada Golf stands as a rare meeting point of seaside elegance and sporting purpose. Nestled in Motril, Granada, Spain, this resort is more than a mere holiday base — it is a stage on which your senses recalibrate, and your game finds an inspired home.
Arrive through palm-lined avenues, smell the salt in the air, and let the horizon widen before you: a whitewashed façade, terraces cascading toward the sea, and a panorama of sculpted fairways rising from the dunes. Here, the adjectives tend to accrue — relaxed, refined, sunlit — yet the presence is grounded, never overblown. You feel both hidden-away and expansively part of Andalusia’s coastal pulse.
Inside, spaces whisper of lightness: pale tile underfoot, soft linen curtains drifting, occasional olive branches nodding by balconies. The soundtrack is subtle — distant waves, murmured conversation, the well-tuned hum of quiet luxury. You’ll catch hints of citrus and sea brine in the breeze, a flicker of warmth from the terrace just before evening, and the crisp promise of a spa’s scented steam in retreat.
This is a resort for those who expect more: more comfort, more space, more micro-moments that accumulate — the sparkle of evening cocktails on the “Mirador de la Reina” sky-bar, the tilt of your golf swing at first light, the hush before dinner in a softly lit restaurant. It invites you to move at a slower pace, yet never to surrender purpose — especially if your purpose is golf.
Intentionally, we position this narrative within the world of premium travel, connecting it to discovery and escapism. As you read, you’ll discover pathways to Golf Holidays in Spain and Costa Tropical Golf Breaks, providing further context and conversion.
For golfers, few places in Spain offer a setting like this. The Los Moriscos Golf Course quite literally surrounds the resort, framing it with 18 holes of lush fairways that roll toward the Mediterranean.
Originally laid out to celebrate the natural contours of Motril’s coastline, the course offers an elegant balance between playability and visual drama. Long par-4s unfold toward the sea, while inland holes reveal mountain backdrops. Greens are generous, bunkers forgiving, and sea breezes add just enough mischief.
Practice facilities and a friendly clubhouse complete the experience, while a pro shop and lesson options cater to every level. Guests can also explore nearby courses such as Santa Clara Golf Granada for variety.
It’s all part of a broader promise — golf that flows seamlessly into resort life. Tee off in the morning, swim in the afternoon, dine by the beach, and rest easy knowing tomorrow brings another perfect round.
For those planning extended Golf Holidays in Spain, or a relaxed Costa Tropical Golf Break, few destinations capture the essence of sun-soaked sport and seaside serenity quite like Impressive Playa Granada Golf.
At Impressive Playa Granada Golf, each room and suite is conceived as a light, airy cocoon — private terraces, vistas of the Mediterranean or the fairways, and interiors that balance comfort with coastal minimalism.

All-inclusive doesn’t mean one-size-fits-all. At Playa Granada, guests on all-inclusive plans enjoy access across most venues, but with the flexibility to reserve the à la carte options (such as La Bodega) for special evenings.
Theme nights and local flavour. Expect Spanish, Mediterranean, Asian or BBQ themes interwoven through the week — a culinary trip without leaving the site.
Live-cooking moments. Cooking stations animate the buffet — chorizo sizzling, fresh omelettes being prepared, crepes spun to order — letting guests watch the craft in action.
Dietary inclusion. Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and children’s menus are well-considered, allowing a broad palate to feel accommodated without fuss.
Ambience matters. Beachside grill dinners are framed by soft lighting and sea breezes; indoor venues balance airiness and warmth; rooftop evenings are tailored to linger, not rush.
With gastronomy like this, it's never just about nourishment — it’s about connecting palate to place, flavours to mood. Whether you’ve just stepped off the fairway, emerged from the spa, or want to savour, there’s a table waiting.

There’s a certain ceremony to slipping into the WellFit Spa at Impressive Playa Granada Golf. First, you’re drawn by the soft echos of sauna and hammam steam, the gentle hush of indoor pools—water retreating from thought. Positioned not far from the beach, the spa forms a calm counterpoint to the sea’s rhythmic grin.
Inside, warm tiles lead to the sauna, hammam, hot tub, and indoor pool—an ensemble that invites muscle-melting and brain‑drifting. Opt for an aromatherapy treatment or hot‑stone massage, and you might drift into the subtlest of Spanish siestas. Booking in advance is part of the ritual—this is not a walk-in, it’s a negotiate-your-serenity experience.
Throughout your visit, you’ll sense Andalusia’s quiet elegance: olive-oil infused scrubs, citrus wafts from local groves, and the low hum of spa music that could just as well be a memory of ocean waves. It’s not over‑the‑top luxury, but rather an understated indulgence: you leave calmer, warmer—and consciously aware of how good it feels.
