The ultimate golfer's getaway: Marbella's top golf resorts

Unveiling the Costa del Sol's Premier Golf Resorts

As golfers ourselves, we know that a great golf trip is about far more than just booking a tee time. It is about waking up close to the fairways, enjoying a long Mediterranean lunch after a round, finding a hotel that understands the rhythm of a golf holiday, and choosing places that make every day feel different. Marbella is one of the destinations we love most for this, with standout stays such as Marbella Club Hotel, Puente Romano Beach Resort, Kimpton Los Monteros Marbella, The Westin La Quinta Golf Resort & Spa, and Anantara Villa Padierna Palace Resort. Each offers its own version of the Marbella golf lifestyle, from beachfront luxury and historic glamour to peaceful Golf Valley retreats and resorts with championship courses on the doorstep. Whether you are planning a serious golf break, a relaxed weekend with friends, or a luxury holiday where golf is part of the experience, these are the Marbella golf resorts and hotels we think are truly worth considering.

Marbella Club Hotel, Golf Resort & Spa

Marbella Club is one of our favourite choices for golfers who want heritage, privacy and true five-star Marbella style.
Its private 18-hole course in the hills of Benahavís offers peaceful fairways, sea views and a beautifully natural setting.
We love that you can play in the morning, then return to the Golden Mile for beach club lunches, spa time and elegant dining.
The experience feels exclusive without being stiff, which is exactly what makes Marbella Club so special.
For golfers who want tradition, luxury and a complete Mediterranean escape, this is one of Marbella’s finest stays.

Puente Romano Beach Resort

Puente Romano is perfect if you want your golf holiday to include beach life, restaurants, nightlife and a lively resort atmosphere.
Set on the Golden Mile, it gives you easy access to some of Marbella’s best nearby courses while keeping you close to the sea.
We love its village-style layout, beautiful gardens, tennis club, spa and incredible dining scene, from Nobu to COYA.
It works especially well for couples, families or groups where golf is part of the trip, but not the only reason for going.
For a stylish golf break with the full Marbella lifestyle around it, Puente Romano is hard to beat.

Kimpton Los Monteros Marbella

Kimpton Los Monteros Marbella is a great base for golfers who want a modern five-star hotel close to several excellent courses.
Located in eastern Marbella, it places you near Santa Clara Golf, Marbella Golf & Country Club and Río Real Golf.
We like it because it gives golfers flexibility, with different courses nearby and a refreshed luxury hotel to return to afterwards.
The atmosphere is polished but relaxed, with Mediterranean dining, wellness facilities and easy access to the beach.
For a practical, stylish and well-connected golf stay, Kimpton Los Monteros is a strong choice.

The Westin La Quinta Golf Resort & Spa

The Westin La Quinta is made for golfers who want to stay right beside the fairways in Marbella’s Golf Valley.
Its La Quinta Golf & Country Club offers 27 holes across three nine-hole courses, giving plenty of variety during your stay.
We love the peaceful Benahavís setting, mountain views and easy access to other top courses around Nueva Andalucía.
The hotel is comfortable, spacious and well suited to golf groups, couples and families looking for a resort-style base.
For convenience, variety and a classic Golf Valley atmosphere, The Westin La Quinta is a reliable favourite.

Anantara Villa Padierna Palace Resort

Anantara Villa Padierna Palace Resort is one of the best options for golfers who want everything in one luxury setting.
With Flamingos, Alferini and Tramores Golf on site, the resort offers 54 holes for different levels and playing styles.
We love that you can choose between scenic, challenging and quicker rounds without needing to leave the estate.
The palace-style hotel adds a peaceful atmosphere, refined rooms, beautiful terraces, fine dining and an excellent spa.
For a complete luxury golf escape near Marbella, Villa Padierna is one of the strongest choices on the Costa del Sol.
