La Cala Golf Resort

La Cala Golf Resort is one of Spain’s premier golf holiday destinations, set within 1,000 acres of unspoiled Andalusian countryside at the base of the Mijas Mountains. Ideally located just 35 minutes from Málaga Airport and 20 minutes from Marbella, this resort combines accessibility with Mediterranean tranquillity for an unforgettable golfing experience.

With three championship golf courses, luxurious accommodation options, a renowned spa, and a wide array of leisure and dining options, it’s no wonder La Cala Golf Resort is one of the most popular venues for a Spanish golf holiday. Whether you're planning a short golf break in the Costa del Sol or a longer golf holiday, La Cala offers everything you need for a relaxing and memorable stay.

Golf Courses

A true golfer’s paradise, La Cala Golf Resort features three stunning 18-hole championship courses, America, Asia, and Europa, each offering a unique test of skill set against the stunning backdrop of the Spanish coastline and the Sierra de Mijas mountains.

• America Course: Formerly known as the North Course, the America layout offers wide fairways, fewer bunkers, and elevated tee boxes with dramatic views. The generous fairways make it ideal for longer hitters, although elevation changes and small greens present a real challenge.
• Asia Course: The most technical of the three, the Asia Course demands precision and strategy. Narrow fairways, water hazards, and elevated greens provide a true test of accuracy and course management, making it a favourite among skilled players.
• Europa Course: The Europa Course is the most forgiving layout at La Cala and perfect for mid to high handicappers. Featuring generous fairways and flatter terrain, it’s still a championship-quality design and an excellent option for a second or third round during your golf break.

All three courses are designed by Cabell Robinson and supported by the La Cala Golf Academy, making the resort a great choice for both seasoned players and beginners.
