Costa del Sol Golf Holidays

The province of Malaga and, above all, its coast - popularly known as the 'Costa del Sol' - is widely recognised as one of the world's leading golfing holiday destinations. Every year thousands of British golfers decide to take a Costa del Sol golf holiday. This is where it all began for us more than 30 years ago and our expertise and knowledge of this great golfing region is unsurpassed.

Costa del Sol Resorts

Then of course there are the resorts. The lively and cheerful resort of Fuengirola . Benalmadena with its beautiful new marina . elegant Marbella and its famously fashionable Orange Square . the sophisticated and vibrant nightlife of Puerto Banus. There is something to suit every taste and budget.

The Cuisine

The Costa del Sol is also renowned for its food, and eating out is both pleasurable and amazingly inexpensive. Seafood is a local speciality, and delicious tapas are available in many of the bars.

On golf free days there is so much to see and do. A trip to the ancient town of Ronda situated in the mountains is a must. The beautiful mountain village of Mijas is just a short drive from the coast, and if you travel further afield, you can visit the splendid city of Granada.
