When you enter the vast Las Colinas Golf and Country Club, you’ll feel like arriving into a city in the Alicante countryside.
The resort, situated under an hour from Alicante airport, is home to hundreds of villas and apartments and has been voted Spain’s and Europe’s Leading Villa Resort in the World Travel Awards.
Every way you turn there’s a development or a new one being built, with the resort’s seriously impressive real estate projects making it a very desirable destination for international golfers and non-golfers to base themselves in this area of Spain. It’s set it a beautiful part of the country, in the hills of the Dehesa de Campoamor with gorgeous views everywhere you turn.
Also on-site is a racquet club, a sports and health club, three restaurants, walking trails and a minimarket. Las Colinas also has its own beach club. Golfers will be drawn to Las Colinas, which translates in Spanish to ‘The Hills’, by its renowned course and just as the name suggests it’s not flat, and because of that there are sensational views on offer throughout.
When it comes to the golf, Las Colinas Golf and Country Club has previously hosted European Tour Q-school and is regarded as one of the best golf courses in Spain. The undulating and varied layout opened for play in 2010 and was designed by Cabell Robinson, the man behind 2023 Solheim Cup venue Finca Cortesin.
