A quiet, but well attended spa with quality in mind. Delightful facilities such as multiple outdoor jacuzzis and a wonderful golf course which is in great condition. This is all complemented with an outstanding terrace on the 19th hole with delicious food.
An amazing place complemented by professional and friendly staff. La Cala Golf Academy is a place where everyone can learn how to golf. La Cala Golf Resort has 3 courses with 18 holes and the courses are in great condition.
A challenging place to golf with your friends or family. Furthermore, Calanova Golf Club has a great terrace where you can sit and enjoy the great food they provide. We would not recommend you go here if you have just started golfing.
A great looking golf resort that is not too hard. The courses are on the small side, but the restaurant within the golf resort more than makes up for that. Nice looking dishes which are great value for money. The staff is really friendly, which makes the experience a lot more enjoyable.
A very secluded place, but very busy inside. You could almost call it a hidden gem if it wasn't so popular among the locals. Restaurante El Jinete has everything you want in a Mediterranean style restaurant, with friendly and highly professional staff. The restaurant is very well designed on the inside, which gives a humbling vibe. Furthermore, Restaurante El Jinete has some of the best meat dishes and the entire experience is of the highest quality.
A nice and quiet place, in the middle of a field. It is quite a new establishment, and it shows, it looks very modern. The staff was very friendly and very professional. The food is very good and most of the products that are used are sourced locally. One thing they also do very well are their desserts: they are very tasty and highly recommended.
Run by a married couple, Sociedad Gastronómica La Porra is a restaurant with a beautiful view and local products. The food is served with love, and you can taste that! We recommend the swordfish, the gambas and the lamb with fries!
A 'fancy' place where the food is great and for a fair price, you could confuse your main course for art! The staff are friendly and attentive. El Soto de Marbella is mostly visited by tourists and has toys for little kids. We recommend all the fish oriented courses.
A crowded place where you can order great food for a reasonable price. La Ventilla can be very busy, so we recommend you make a reservation or come early; parking spaces are limited as well. You also have the ability to ride horses and, finally, the view of this place is magnificent. We recommend all the fish oriented courses.
People often visit 'Campo' because of how beautiful the sun sets. If you want to explore the local area, this is one of the most liked places we could think of: quiet and very secluded.
A place where you can hike and have a nice walk with a stunning view. The only downside: it can be very busy if you are there during the holidays.
A nice place where you can sit and enjoy the beautiful landscape, a perfect place to end your night.
A small chapel where you can relax for hours, a stunning place to clear your mind and soul. We'd highly recommend you visit this little gem. Be prepared to climb a little bit!
Ready for an adventure? DESCUBRE Guías del Sur is a place with an amazing view where you can have your adventure in style.
