Golf i Andalusien

Why stay with us for a golf holiday?

Riviera del Sol lies in Mijas Costa, between Marbella and Fuengirola – one of the densest golf areas in Europe. Several courses are only minutes away, and the famous courses of Marbella, Benahavís and Sotogrande are within easy driving distance along the AP-7. The mild climate means golf is possible all year round, with spring, autumn and winter being especially popular. After your round, relax on the terrace of your apartment or head down to the beach in La Cala.
