A resort break here means that you needn’t worry about sorting your evening meal or booking tee times at various courses. Simply turn up, kick back, and relax at one of these top golf resorts in Marbella!

One of our most popular resorts in Europe, La Cala continues to captivate golfers with its three challenging championship courses and an abundance of activities to enjoy around the destination.
