Fairplay Golf and Spa Resort

First up is the Fairplay Golf and Spa Resort, a five-star resort home to the Fairplay Golf Club, making it the ideal choice for a luxury golf holiday in the Costa de la Luz Cadiz. Here, guests can enjoy beautiful views of the surrounding Andalusian countryside and the Los Alcornocales Nature Reserve. The resort itself is set as a classic white-washed Andalusian town, as the rooms are set apart by cobbled pathways and small squares. In the evenings or on their non-golfing days, guests can head out to Benalup-Casas Viejas, with a wide range of bars, cafes and restaurants set across this beautiful town. Or alternatively, if guests are looking to stay local, then they can just make the most out of the resort’s excellent leisure facilities, including the Fairplay Spa, offering a range of treatments and massages. Located on-site to the Fairplay Golf and Spa Resort is the Fairplay Golf Club, a fantastic golf course designed by the world-renowned golf architect Baron Paul Rolin. The Fairplay Golf Club is easily considered to be one of the most sought-after golf courses in the Costa de la Luz Cadiz, so the opportunity for a round of golf here must not be passed up on. Conveniently for even amateur golfers, the Fairplay Golf Club is playable for golfers with all levels of ability with its spacious fairways and generously large greens. Just like the resort itself, on the golf course, all players can enjoy beautiful views of the surrounding countryside which just adds to the pleasure of playing an idyllic round of golf.

Iberostar Royal Andalus

Guests are in the ideal position to make the most out of the beaches that Andalusia is so well-known for, as well as being just a stone’s throw away from both the A Course and the B Course located at the Real Novo Sancti Petri Golf Club. Golfers could not be in a better location to play all five of the golf courses located in the Novo Sancti Petri region, as they are all located within a ten-minute drive of the hotel. Even on their non-golfing days, guests will never find themselves short of things to do or see, as the hotel is just a short walk away from the neighbouring La Barossa beach and the hotel runs a shuttle bus service to Chiclana, a classic small Andalusian seaside town. Guests also need not worry about there not being a huge range of local options to dine outside the hotel as the Iberostar Royal Andalus has an impressive four restaurants and three bars, so guests will never find themselves short of choice. The hotel also offers a fantastic half board or all-inclusive option which always means great value for money.

Montecastillo Golf holds a high reputation in Spain as it was the first-ever golf course designed in a classic Spanish layout. Since its opening, Montecastillo Golf has set the standards for all the future creation of golf courses in Andalusia, and many would say it is wholly responsible for the huge growth of golf there. With a stunning landscape, a unique challenge and its world-class status, it comes as no surprise that Jack Nicklaus has claimed that this golf course is one of his best pieces of work. Not only is the hotel a great choice for all those looking to play the highly sought-after Montecastillo Golf, it is also perfect for couples looking for an idyllic golfing getaway as the hotel has an intimate boutique-style feel to it as it does not have many guest rooms and it is set away from all the hustle and bustle of the busy resorts.
