Tee Times Spain Golf: La Cala Resort Buggy Inclusive Promotion – Until 30th September

We are pleased to announce that La Cala Resort offers the buggy inclusive promotion, on tee times from 10am to 1pm, for bookings until 30th September. Don’t miss it.

La Cala Resort is one of the largest and most exclusive resorts in southern Europe with three 18 hole golf courses, the only David Leadbetter Golf Academy in Spain and a high standard Par 3 six hole golf course. The natural features of the La Cala terrain have been used to challenging effect by the renowned golf course architect, Cabell B. Robinson. The three courses are carefully maintained to ensure they are playable all year round.

The North Course (now renamed Campo America) is perhaps more difficult than the shorter South (Campo Asia) but both demand great accuracy from the tee and careful club selection. Meanwhile, the third golf course, Campo Europa, uses the River Ojen in making the course distinctive. The layout allows for plenty of water hazards. All three offer different challenges to all levels of golfers and demand good course management in addition to a wide variety of shots.

Tee Times Portugal Holidays: Sheraton Porto Hotel & Spa (Spa Review)

Global Value: 97% | Treatment Variety: 96% | Space: 97%
Environment: 96% | Balneary: 95%

Centrally located and just a 2 minute walk from Estádio do Bessa in the city of Oporto, in the north of Portugal, this fine design hotel offers spacious and elegant rooms, decorated with a mix of wood, steel, and glass elements. It features a computer area, Spa, and indoor swimming pool.

The Spa has five saunas (of which one is of aromatics herbs and other is of salt), a pool of warm water with stone beds underwater and water jets (a vitality pool) and a winter garden with sofas where we’d like to spend the whole afternoon sleeping.

Of all body and facial treatments, with hot or oriental stones, there is the Balinese massage. This massage is done not with two but with four hands – you’ll have two therapists massaging your whole body for 50 minutes, using techniques like acupressure, shiatsu, reflexology and aromatherapy.

Feeling the warm oil of sweet almonds and calendula slipping on the skin and four hands stretching our body we tend to believe that’s the cure for our dramas. Then comes the heated vulcanic basalt stones, and, all of a sudden, all the problems of the world have ended. If paradise existed, angels wouldn’t live on clouds, they would spend their days here, buying four hands Balinese massages.
