A great golfers hotel that benefits from the onsite Nicklaus design golf courses.
AT A GLANCE
Golf courses
2 Nicklaus design golf courses: the Championship course is an 18-hole par 72 course that measures over 7,000 yards from the back. If you fancy an easier round, take on the 4,200-yard Executive course, an 18-hole par 62 comprised of mostly par 3’s and 4 par 4’s.
Designed Nicklaus Design, the two 18 hole courses at Villaitana Golf benefit from not being encroached on by the resort’s real estate development.
The Villaitana Championship is a US-style golf course spread out over an area of more than 80 hectares. In classic Nicklaus tradition, it features wide fairways and mounded, rolling, yet inviting putting surfaces. Stretching to more than 7,200 yards, it is a bit of a monster and offers stunning views of the Mediterranean and the Finestrat Mountains.
The 18 hole, par 62 Villaitana Executive, reaches to 4,219 yards and offers a gently alternative to its sister layout. Set in a picturesque valley of Mediterranean pine and broad views, it is perfect for all levels of golfer and would be a great place for beginners to hone their newly acquired skills
