Golf Breaks On The Costa Blanca
The stunning south-eastern Mediterranean coast of Spain is home to the Costa Blanca – the famous “white coast” named after its long stretches of soft, pale sandy beaches.

Located in the Valencia region, in the province of Alicante, the Costa Blanca stretches from Dénia in the north all the way down past Alicante and Orihuela Costa. Along this coastline you’ll find well-known destinations such as Benidorm, Jávea, Altea and Villajoyosa, as well as the historic cities of Valencia and Alicante — all within easy reach of a wide variety of golf courses.
The region is a favourite among golf enthusiasts thanks to its mix of beautifully designed layouts, warm climate and excellent value. Stand-out courses include La Finca, Villamartin Golf Course and Las Colinas Golf & Country Club, each offering memorable holes, great conditioning and a superb golfing experience for every level of player.
