Discover the allure of Costa de la Luz: a golf paradise

Tee Times offers exclusive packages in Costa de la Luz. Here you will find a course that matches your skill level and offers an unforgettable experience.Costa de la Luz, stretching along the provinces of Cádiz and Huelva in southern Spain, is a paradise of golden sands, extensive beaches, and breathtaking sunsets. This picturesque region, bordered by the Atlantic Ocean, offers a flawless blend of time-out, culture, and sports. It is a sought-after destination for travellers and golf enthusiasts looking for their best Spain golf holidays.

Costa de la Luz: a gem steeped in history and culture

Costa de la Luz is not just about stunning beaches and wonderful golf courses; it boasts a rich history and vibrant culture that dates back over 3,000 years. Ancient civilisations such as the Phoenicians, Greeks, Romans, and Moors left their mark on this land. Visitors can explore the charming fishing towns, marvel at the whitewashed villages in the mountains, and immerse themselves in the local culture.

The cities of Cádiz and Huelva offer a glimpse into Spain’s historical and cultural heritage. Cádiz, one of Western Europe’s oldest continuously inhabited cities, is famous for its historic architecture and lively carnival. It is also the site where Spain’s first constitution was signed in 1812. On the other hand, Huelva is home to the Lugares Colombinos, where Christopher Columbus prepared for his voyages to the New World. Both cities are gateways to exploring the stunning interiors, such as the picturesque Pueblos Blancos (White Villages) of Cádiz and the historic towns of Moguer and Palos de la Frontera in Huelva.

Culinary delights

Costa de la Luz is also a culinary haven renowned for its fresh seafood and exquisite wines. Indulge in local delicacies such as red tuna, Huelva prawns, and Sanlúcar langoustines, paired with the world-famous wines of Jerez. For a truly exceptional dining experience, visit Aponiente, a three-Michelin-starred restaurant helmed by chef Ángel León, known as ‘the chef of the sea.’

Spain Golf Holidays – More overnight stays and foreign golf tourists in Huelva

Golf tourism is growing in Huelva

The golf sector in Huelva, in Costa de la Luz, reported a 48.88% rise in overnight stays and a 31.29% increase in foreign travellers in February compared to the same month in 2022, confirming its deseasonalizing role.

The Huelva Golf Course Association, a member of the Tourism Business Circle, has favourably judged these data, released by the National Institute of Statistics (INE), which support the increase attached to promoting this sector, which is so essential for Huelva.

“A good scenario was in sight for this segment for this year as a result of the first contacts kept with international operators (European market)”, according to a statement. The scenario has been confirmed by the data obtained in the first months of 2023.

Initial expectations have been exceeded, according to January statistics showing a 72.96% increase in hotel accommodations and a 67.42% increase in foreign visitors.

From a financial standpoint, the industry is still having the same problems it did this time last year due to the “disproportionate” increase in production and operating costs that pretty much every activity is experiencing.

Thus, “we find ourselves with the only segment that actively and certainly complements the development of the tourist activity linked to the holiday segment, and is effective in terms of the fight against persistent seasonality that it suffers from”, the Association concluded after considering the available data.

Huelva is home to stunning golf courses like El Rompido North and South, often considered among the finest golf courses in the Costa de la Luz region.

Isla Canela Old wants energy independence

Isla Canela Golf’s photovoltaic enclosure on the Isla Canela Old course has been recently installed and turned on. Located in the out rough area of the golf course, the installation has a total surface area of around 1500 square metres and has been used as part of a larger effort to reduce the irrigated area and make better use of water.

The Isla Canela Golf Hotel, the clubhouse, and the golf course’s irrigation water pumping system will all be able to utilise electricity from the solar array, which includes a compensation mechanism for energy that is not self-consumed.

The owners of Isla Canela Golf are hoping to further advance energy transition initiatives and implement steps from its Strategic Plan for Social and Environmental Sustainability in accordance with the sustainable development goals set forth by the United Nations.

Isla Canela may now reduce its CO2 output thanks to this new installation. The owners have been calculating the company’s carbon impact since 2019, and this action will help them get closer to their decarbonization target.

Isla Canela is located in a truly unique place on the Costa de la Luz region, near Huelva, right next to the border with Portugal, and it is one of the most popular golf holiday destinations in the region.
