Each property caters to a different style of golf holiday on the Costa del Sol. While Estepona and Marbella combine golf with sophisticated coastal living, Torremolinos offers a more relaxed and lively Mediterranean atmosphere. Sotogrande, meanwhile, is synonymous with exclusivity and has become one of Spain's most prestigious golfing destinations.
Golf courses in the area
The Costa del Sol is internationally recognised for its concentration of high-quality golf courses, attracting players from around the world throughout the year.
Around Marbella, some of the most established names include Los Naranjos Golf Club, Villa Padierna Golf Club and Santa María Golf Club Marbella. These courses are among the many reasons the destination enjoys such a strong reputation within the golfing community.
The Estepona area is equally attractive, with courses such as Atalaya Golf & Country Club, El Paraíso Golf Club, Valle Romano Golf Club and Doña Julia Golf Club. Atalaya Golf & Country Club features both the Old Course and the New Course, offering golfers different playing experiences within the same club.
Guests staying at SOL Marbella Estepona - Atalaya Park benefit from a documented preferential agreement with Atalaya Golf & Country Club, located approximately 4 km from the hotel. The golf club operates independently and is not part of the hotel facilities.
Further along the coastline, Torrequebrada Golf is a popular option near Torremolinos, while Real Club Valderrama and The San Roque Club are among the most respected golfing venues in the Sotogrande area.
Together, these courses contribute to the Costa del Sol's reputation as one of Europe's premier golf destinations.
The Costa del Sol beyond golf
A holiday on the Costa del Sol offers countless experiences beyond the golf course. This stretch of Andalusian coastline combines Mediterranean beaches, vibrant towns, local gastronomy and a rich cultural heritage.
Torremolinos is known for its lively promenade and long beaches, making it especially popular with families and groups. Marbella blends historic charm with contemporary sophistication, where elegant restaurants, boutique shopping and a vibrant social scene sit alongside its traditional old town.
Further west, Estepona captivates visitors with its flower-filled streets, welcoming atmosphere and beautiful seafront. Meanwhile, Sotogrande offers a more refined setting, combining marinas, green landscapes and a slower pace of life.
This variety allows travellers to choose the destination that best suits their interests while enjoying easy access to some of the region's most renowned golf courses.
Beyond the fairways, the Costa del Sol invites visitors to discover local cuisine, coastal walks, beach clubs, cultural attractions and authentic Andalusian experiences that enrich every stay.
Getting there and when to go
Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport is the main gateway for travellers visiting Torremolinos, Marbella and Estepona, offering excellent connections with destinations across Europe and beyond.
For travellers staying in Sotogrande, Gibraltar Airport provides an alternative point of arrival and is located closer to the area.
The region's excellent road network makes it easy to travel between hotels, golf courses and coastal destinations, whether planning a dedicated golf break or a broader Mediterranean holiday.
Spring and autumn are widely considered the best seasons for golf on the Costa del Sol, thanks to their mild temperatures and comfortable playing conditions. However, the region's year-round sunshine also makes winter particularly attractive for golfers seeking warmer weather.
During summer, early tee times allow visitors to enjoy a round before spending the rest of the day by the sea, relaxing by the pool or discovering the many attractions that have made the Costa del Sol one of Europe's most popular leisure destinations.
