La Cala Resort Golf Holidays Just Got Better

A Fresh Look for La Cala Resort Golf Holidays in 2025

If La Cala Resort was already on your shortlist for a golf break in Spain, it may have just climbed to the top. Nestled in the hills above the Costa del Sol, La Cala has long been known for its trio of championship courses, panoramic views, and a laid-back luxury that appeals to both serious golfers and relaxed travellers.

Now, following a comprehensive upgrade completed in March 2025, the resort has sharpened its offer even further, blending tradition with modern comforts in a way few destinations can match.

It’s not just the setting that makes La Cala special, but the way it caters to the full rhythm of a golfer’s day, from early tee times to sunset dinners overlooking the valley. The latest renovations take that experience up a notch.

From redesigned guest rooms to revamped dining options and a state-of-the-art golf simulator, La Cala Resort golf holidays are no longer just about the courses. They’re about the full experience, on and off the fairways.

What’s New at La Cala in 2025?

The resort’s recent renovation touched nearly every corner of the property, with the goal of improving comfort, functionality, and atmosphere.

Accommodation

All guest rooms have been refurbished with a modern Mediterranean look, light tones, clean lines, and updated amenities. The result is a fresh, restful space that still feels true to the resort’s Andalusian roots.

Dining

The dining options have also received a lift, with updated menus and a renewed focus on local flavours. Whether you’re refuelling after a round or enjoying a quiet evening on the terrace, the experience is now more refined and regional.

Golf Simulator

New this season is a high-end indoor golf simulator, perfect for guests looking to practise in the evenings or during rare rainy spells. It’s a welcome addition for players who want to fine-tune their swing or enjoy some friendly competition after hours.

Why Golfers Keep Returning to La Cala

Even before the renovation, La Cala was one of the Costa del Sol’s most popular golf resorts, and for good reason. With three distinct 18-hole courses (America, Asia, and Europa), it offers variety, challenge, and stunning scenery in equal measure.

It’s also a resort that caters equally well to groups, couples, and solo travellers. The setting feels remote, but you’re just 30 minutes from Marbella and the coast. It’s the kind of place where you can play all morning and unwind with a view in the afternoon.

Planning Your Stay

If you’re considering a golf break to southern Spain in 2025, this is an ideal time to rediscover La Cala. The spring season offers warm but manageable conditions, and availability is still reasonable before the high summer months set in.

Booking early is recommended, especially for groups, since the resort’s updated facilities are expected to drive higher demand throughout the year.

Where Golf and Business Meet: Corporate Retreats in Portugal

Posted on by

Portugal isn’t just a dream destination for vacationers—it’s also one of Europe’s top spots for mixing golf and business with fun on the fairway. With stunning courses, luxury resorts, and solid infrastructure, it’s quickly becoming a favourite for corporate events and MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions) travel. And let’s be honest—golf might be the ultimate way to turn a work trip into something memorable.

Picture this: a company retreat at a five-star resort with ocean views, where your next meeting is just a short stroll from the first tee. Whether you’re in the sunny Algarve or the stylish coastlines near Lisbon and Cascais, Portugal nails the balance between getting things done and truly unwinding. Many golf resorts come fully loaded with conference rooms, breakout spaces, and upscale accommodations—perfect for productive mornings and relaxed afternoons on the course.

Golf and Business for Good

But let’s not forget the fun part. Golf is a fantastic icebreaker—ideal for team bonding or connecting with clients in a laid-back setting. Think friendly tournaments, swing clinics with a pro, or a chill nine-hole game to wrap up the day. And when the sun sets, wine tastings, fantastic food, and spa sessions ensure everyone enjoys every minute.

Looking to make it all happen smoothly? That’s where Tee Times Golf Holidays comes in. We know Portugal’s golf scene like the back of our hand.

What’s New on the Water in Albufeira?

Golf may be the main reason you’re heading to the Algarve, but it’s certainly not the only way to enjoy the region. This time of year, the coastline comes alive again with everything that makes spring in Albufeira special: blue skies, warm breezes, and new experiences on and off the water.

Among the highlights? AlgarExperience, a leading watersports and leisure company based in Albufeira Marina, has just rolled out its April 2025 lineup, and it’s packed with scenic cruises, coastal dining, and close encounters with the Algarve’s natural beauty.

From dolphin-watching to hidden beach barbecues, AlgarExperience brings together comfort, flavour, and sea air in ways that pair perfectly with a golf holiday in the Algarve.

Beach Barbecues Are Back – From 3 April

A favourite among visitors and locals alike, the Beach Barbecue experience returns on 3 April. The trip combines a scenic cruise along the Algarve coast, including a stop at the world-famous Benagil caves, with an exclusive barbecue lunch on a secluded beach.

Expect an open bar, curated tasting menu, and a full afternoon of barefoot luxury.

Dolphin Watching and Benagil Caves – Relaunch of the Belize III

After a major upgrade to the Belize III vessel, the popular Dolphins and Benagil Caves tour is back in full swing. It’s a chance to spot dolphins in their natural habitat while exploring some of the most iconic rock formations in southern Europe.

It’s not just a boat trip, it’s a chance to see the Algarve from a completely different angle.

New Experience: Benagil & Coast – Aboard the “Unwind” Catamaran

For those after something a little more refined, AlgarExperience has launched a new version of its Benagil and coastal tour, this time aboard the Unwind, a sleek and comfortable catamaran offering a more spacious, relaxed atmosphere.

What sets this experience apart is the onboard tasting menu. Included in every tour (at no extra cost), guests can choose from:

  • Sabores do Algarve: A trio of regional sweets with Algarve liqueurs

  • Regional Wine Tasting

  • Port Wine & Chocolate

  • Iced Teas with Almond Biscuits

  • Sea & Flavour: Algarve-style tinned seafood tasting

A perfect pairing with a relaxing day off the course.

Planning a Golf Holiday in Albufeira?

Albufeira isn’t just about nightlife, it’s also a base for exploring some of the Algarve’s best golf courses, including Salgados, Pine Cliffs, and the Vilamoura collection just up the road.

If you’re staying in the region this spring or summer, these new experiences from AlgarExperience offer the perfect way to round out your trip with a taste of the sea.
