Unveiling the Hidden Jewel: The Royal Marbella on Costa Del Golf?
Golfing Paradise Awaits at Royal Marbella Golf Resort
Nestled on the west side of Marbella, about an hour from Malaga Airport, lies the picturesque Royal Marbella Golf Resort. This idyllic location offers more than just a relaxing golf break; it's a haven for golf enthusiasts seeking the near-constant Spanish sunshine and some of the best courses in the region.
The resort's proximity to popular destinations such as Estepona and Benahavis makes it an ideal base for exploring the area. For those seeking a bite to eat, delightful restaurants can be found in both Marbella and Estepona, and there are long sandy beaches with water sports and cafes to enjoy.
Royal Marbella Golf Resort boasts modern, self-catering one, two, or three-bedroom apartments. Each apartment features spacious rooms, open-plan lounge and dining areas, and a balcony, providing a comfortable and homely feel.
The resort is home to seven championship golf courses within a 10km radius, including the nearby Atalaya Golf Club and El Paraiso Golf Club. Atalaya Golf Club, played during a visit in late July, is the next closest course to Royal Marbella. Although it may not be as visually arresting as El Paraiso, it offers a great deal of fun with strategically-placed bunkers and challenging green complexes. The soft white sand of Atalaya's bunkers is a joy to play out of.
El Paraiso Golf Club, a charming layout suitable for all levels of player, is easily walkable from Royal Marbella. This course meanders through undulating terrain and water features, offering stunning views from the 7th and 12th tees.
Royal Marbella can book tee times and sometimes gain small discounts on green fees, making it easy for guests to enjoy a round or two at these fantastic courses. Scoring opportunities exist on the second and eighth holes of Atalaya Golf Club, which are par fives.
In addition to the golfing facilities, Royal Marbella offers two outdoor pools and an indoor space called The Hub. No restaurant or bar is on site, but complimentary water and coffee are available, and a small shop is present.
For those seeking a more relaxed golf break, Royal Marbella Golf Resort is the perfect choice. With its stunning courses, beautiful surroundings, and convenient location, it's no wonder this resort is a favourite among golf enthusiasts. Whether you're a seasoned pro or a beginner, you're sure to find a course that suits your skill level and enjoy a memorable golfing experience in the heart of Andalusia.
