Whether you’re a seasoned golfer looking for a new challenge, a couple seeking a peaceful escape, or part of a group planning a week of golf under the sun, La Cala delivers. Its on-site facilities are matched by scenic views, warm hospitality, and easy access to nearby towns and beaches, all key ingredients for a well-rounded holiday experience.
This review gives a complete overview of what makes La Cala stand out, and why it continues to attract golfers from across Europe year after year.
Championship Golf for Every Style of Play
La Cala is home to three full 18-hole championship courses, each designed to challenge different aspects of your game while offering spectacular views across the hills and coastline.
Campo América
The most open of the three courses, Campo América features wide fairways and elevated tees, making it enjoyable yet still strategic. Expect rewarding views and plenty of room to swing confidently.
Campo Asia
Tighter and more technical, Campo Asia is the oldest and most demanding of the trio. Narrow fairways and well-placed bunkers mean accuracy is key here, perfect for players who want a test.
Campo Europa
This is the most forgiving layout, ideal for relaxed holiday rounds or mixed-skill groups. Its wider fairways and flatter terrain offer playability, while water hazards introduce just the right amount of risk.
On-Site Accommodation and Relaxation
The resort’s 4-star hotel features over 100 rooms, many with balconies overlooking the courses or countryside. Interiors are modern, peaceful, and designed for comfort, ideal after a long day on the fairways.
For downtime, guests can unwind in the spa and wellness center, which includes hydrotherapy pools, saunas, and a wide range of treatments. Whether it’s a full-body massage or a visit to the thermal suite, relaxation is always close at hand.
Dining and Leisure
La Cala offers several on-site dining options to suit different tastes:
- A main restaurant with Mediterranean-inspired cuisine
- A clubhouse bistro perfect for breakfast or casual lunches
