Golf courses in the area
The reputation of the Costa del Sol as one of Europe's leading golf destinations is built on the quality and variety of its courses.
Among the best-known names in the region are Villa Padierna Golf Club, Los Naranjos Golf Club, Santa María Golf Club Marbella, El Paraíso Golf Club, Valle Romano Golf Club, Doña Julia Golf Club and Torrequebrada Golf. Together, they contribute to the area's long-standing appeal among players of all levels.
A particularly attractive option for guests staying at SOL Marbella Estepona - Atalaya Park is its preferential agreement with Atalaya Golf & Country Club, located approximately 4 km from the hotel. The club operates independently and features both the Old Course and New Course.
This arrangement provides convenient access to golf while allowing travellers to choose their accommodation based on the holiday experience they are looking for, rather than staying at a resort centred exclusively on the sport.
Málaga, gateway to the Costa del Sol
While golf is one of the region's main attractions, Málaga offers much more than access to renowned fairways. As one of southern Spain's most vibrant cities, it combines history, culture, gastronomy and a Mediterranean lifestyle that can be enjoyed throughout the year.
The city's historic centre invites visitors to explore its lively streets, traditional restaurants and cultural landmarks. Among its most recognisable attractions are the Alcazaba, overlooking the city from its hillside setting, and the Museo Picasso Málaga, dedicated to the artist's life and work in his birthplace.
Just a short distance away, La Malagueta Beach brings a coastal dimension to the city experience, offering an easy way to combine sightseeing with time by the sea.
Beyond the city itself, Málaga serves as the starting point for discovering the wider Costa del Sol. From here, visitors can easily reach destinations such as Torremolinos, Marbella and Estepona, each offering its own blend of beaches, dining, leisure and golf.
Whether travelling for golf, relaxation or a combination of both, Málaga provides an ideal introduction to the character and diversity of the Costa del Sol.
Getting there and when to go
Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport is the main gateway for travellers arriving on the Costa del Sol and provides convenient access to Torremolinos, Marbella and Estepona.
From the airport, all featured hotels can be reached by road, allowing visitors to move easily between coastal resorts, golf courses and the region's main attractions.
One of the Costa del Sol's greatest advantages is its favourable climate, which makes golf possible throughout much of the year. Spring and autumn are especially popular thanks to their mild temperatures and comfortable playing conditions, while winter attracts golfers looking to enjoy warmer weather than many other European destinations.
During the summer months, many players prefer early morning tee times before spending the rest of the day at the beach, by the pool or exploring the coastline. This combination of climate, accessibility and golfing tradition has helped establish the Costa del Sol as one of Europe's leading destinations for golf holidays.
