Sun-Drenched Fairways & Mediterranean Glamour
There’s a certain alchemy on Spain’s Costa Blanca—where 200 kilometres of sun-baked coastline meet the green precision of perfectly sculpted golf courses. Here, the Mediterranean doesn’t just frame your holiday; it scores the soundtrack, each wave brushing up against another round of post-game cava. This is not the brash, neon version of Spain that lures stag parties; this is the polished, slightly sultry sister who knows her wines, keeps her beaches clean, and has perfected the art of leisure.
Costa Blanca has long held the enviable reputation of being one of the sunniest corners of Europe, with over 300 days of light-drenched skies each year. Golfers arrive for the promise of winter tee times without woolly hats, championship courses designed by legends, and evenings that drift seamlessly from tapas to seaside strolls. Between Alicante’s cosmopolitan heartbeat and Denia’s quieter elegance, the region offers an irresistible blend of Spanish tradition and modern luxury.
For those seeking Spain golf holidays with a splash of Mediterranean glamour, Costa Blanca is a seductive choice. The fairways here are not just courses; they are destinations in their own right—where the rugged cliffs, pine forests, and mountain backdrops play as much a role as the designers who shaped them.
Turkey Golf was once again a fantastic experience. The service is first class in every way. Transport is clean, comfortable and was always on time. Special mention to the staff (Especially Cihan And Riza) in arranging the trip and the drivers in the resort. Helpful, courteous and always willing to help and look after us.
We have just returned from another wonderful golfing holiday organised once again to perfection. Cihan at Golf Turkey makes all necessary arrangements - competitive price, airport transfers, hotel accommodation, tee times and offers any assistance required whilst in the resort. I would have no hesitation in recommending this company to plan a great Belek golfing experience .
Trustable gold agency. Better than holder agency in Belek. Comfortable and detailed arrangement.
Golf Turkey and Cihan have been absolutely fantastic from the booking process, answering any questions before we travelled and making sure everything was perfect when we were there. It’s our 2nd time booking with Golf Turkey and I would highly recommend anyone else to book with them. Their service is incredible and the price is the best I’ve found on the market for Turkey golf trips. Huge thanks to Cihan and the team!
For golfers, Costa Blanca offers a heady mix: easy air access via Alicante or Valencia airports, direct flights from across Europe (London in 2.5 hours, Berlin in just under 3). The transfer times to key resorts are refreshingly short—often less than an hour, meaning you can land, check in, and find yourself on the first tee the very same afternoon.
Courses carry the signatures of legends—Seve, Nicklaus, Olazábal—and deliver everything from clifftop drama to broad, championship-style canvases. Par-72 layouts tempt the single-digit handicappers, while resort-friendly designs ensure nobody feels left out. And with over 20 courses scattered along the coast, variety is never in short supply.
In short, Costa Blanca is where golfing logistics are blissfully simple, and the only real dilemma is whether your afternoon round should be followed by sangria or a siesta.
Polished marble lobbies, infinity pools overlooking the Med, and golf-side suites where you can roll straight from breakfast to the first tee. Expect Michelin-inspired dining, luxe spas, and concierge teams who know the difference between a Rioja Reserva and a Ribera Crianza.
For those who prefer their putts matched with poolside mojitos, Costa Blanca’s beachfront hotels deliver. Think buffet spreads of Iberian ham, unlimited cocktails, and balconies with sea views that make early tee times just about forgivable.
Tucked away in converted fincas or sleek urban hideaways, boutique stays here mix Spanish design flair with intimacy. Ideal for couples or small groups wanting to combine golf with gastronomy and a sense of style.
Families and longer-stay golfers gravitate toward spacious villas with private pools and kitchens stocked from local markets. Often located near top golf resorts, they’re perfect for combining independence with easy course access.
With kids’ clubs, multiple pools, and activities that ensure younger travellers are entertained, these resorts strike the balance: parents enjoy uninterrupted rounds while children embrace the sun-soaked lifestyle.
Las Ramblas Golf Course, designed by Pepe Gancedo, unfurls dramatically across ravines and pine-dotted cliffs. Every shot comes with sweeping views, and more than a hint of risk-versus-reward.
Villaitana Levante, crafted by Jack Nicklaus Design, offers a sprawling par-72 challenge. With wide fairways, strategic bunkering, and views stretching to Benidorm’s skyline, it’s a course that makes you feel part of the big leagues.
La Sella Golf, created by José María Olazábal, is nestled in a natural park near Denia. The fairways, framed by Mediterranean pines, olive trees, and the Montgó mountain, create both beauty and challenge.
Las Colinas Golf & Country Club, a Cabell B. Robinson masterpiece, consistently ranks among Spain’s best. Wide corridors, sculpted greens, and subtle strategy make it as elegant as it is rewarding.
Alicante Golf, a Seve Ballesteros design, balances challenge with accessibility. Its six par-3s, six par-4s, and six par-5s provide variety while still welcoming players of all levels.
Wander Alicante’s Santa Bárbara Castle, perched high above the city with sweeping bay views.
Explore Guadalest, a hilltop village frozen in time with cobblestone streets and medieval fortifications.

Discover the artistic heartbeat of Altea, a whitewashed town beloved by painters and bohemians.
Bask on the Blue Flag beaches of Benidorm or Calpe, where Mediterranean living is distilled into its sunniest form.
Costa Blanca’s climate is a golfer’s dream. Summers bask in average highs of 28–30°C, yet the ever-present Mediterranean breeze keeps rounds comfortable, even in July. Winters hover around 16–18°C, with bright skies making January tee times perfectly plausible—often in short sleeves. Spring and autumn are the sweet spot: days stretching into the low 20s, ideal for unhurried golf mornings followed by al fresco evenings.
This abundant sunshine—more than 3,000 hours annually—is what cements Costa Blanca’s reputation as Europe’s year-round golf haven. Unlike Northern Europe’s rain-soaked unpredictability, here you can plan a round in February without checking the forecast twice. The climate doesn’t just accommodate golf; it elevates it, framing every swing with light, colour, and warmth.
Because Costa Blanca is the full package: luxury resorts, designer golf courses, and an enviable climate that rarely says no to a tee time. Here, mornings begin with Mediterranean sunrises over the sea, afternoons unfold on fairways designed by golfing royalty, and evenings glide into a blur of tapas, local wines, and starlit promenades.
Unlike some destinations that specialise in either golf or leisure, Costa Blanca masters both. Couples can pair championship-level golf with spa indulgence, families find a blend of beaches and activities, and groups of friends are spoiled for choice when it comes to lively nights after a day on the greens.
It’s not just Spain—it’s Spain polished, sunlit, and golf-ready. If your idea of a golf holiday is equal parts sport, sunshine, and a touch of Mediterranean flair, then Costa Blanca should top your list.
