Explore Spain’s Costa de La Luz Region

For golfers who want to enjoy golf holidays, Spain is a popular destination, and one of the regions they often choose is Costa de La Luz. This area sits on the very west of Andalucia near the Portuguese border, and is quickly growing as a vacation destination for golfers on holiday. With beautiful resorts like the Montecastillo Resort, Hotel El Rompido Golf, and the Islantilla Golf Resort, it is no wonder that the crowds that typically flock to Costa del Sol are starting to migrate westward. These are the top choices for golfers who are visiting Costa de La Luz.

Islantilla Golf Resort Hotel

Islantilla is one of the most popular resorts in Costa de La Luz. This golf resort has three nine hole looks that can be combined however the golfer wants, either to play a short nine hole game or a full eighteen. The courses wind their way through trees and beautiful lakes, and a few sea views make it well worth the time spent playing. This course was home to the 1995 Turespana Masters. It is a four-star resort with just over 200 rooms and excellent leisure facilities for those who want to relax when not playing golf.

Montecastillo Resort

The Montecastillo Resort features a par 72 18-hole golf course that was designed by Jack Nicklaus. It was home to the Volvo Masters for five years before that tournament moved to Costa del Sol. Golfers who visit Montecastillo know they will be challenged. It is considered the best course in Costa del Luz, and is located near Jerez, giving guests plenty of non-golf activities to enjoy. The five-star hotel is small but elegant, and a wellness center provides much needed relaxation after a long day playing.

Hotel el Rompido

The Hotel el Rompido is a luxury resort that offers the best value in a five-star resort that can be found in Costa de La Luz. Golfers who enjoy some luxury in their accommodations love this hotel. It features two courses that were designed by Alvaro Arana. The scenery is beautiful, as the courses are surrounded by protected marshland, and the courses offer a pretty good challenge, without being too difficult for novice players.

Vincci Canela Golf

This resort is located in Cadiz and offers the Isla Canela golf course, an 18-hole par 72 course. The course is famous for its water features, which are found on 10 out of the 18 holes. The parkland course is 10 minutes from the hotel, which is a five-star hotel featuring just 56 rooms and 2 suites. Guests get excellent service from the hotel’s staff because of the small number of rooms. Another popular course near this resort is the Monte Rei Jack Nicklaus course just across the border in Portugal.

These are just four of the many golf resorts located in Costa de La Luz. If you are ready for a change from the busy golf courses on Costa del Sol, consider booking your next Spanish golf holiday in this newer destination. While the courses have been there a while, the area has just recently come to the attention of vacationers, making it a less crowded option for avid golfers.
