Golf Holidays in Costa de la Luz

Golf Breaks in Costa de la Luz

Set between the Costa del Sol and Portugal’s Algarve, Europe’s top two golf destinations, world-class golf courses have naturally flowed into the stunning setting of Costa de la Luz. The main contrast between Costa de la Luz and the golfing superpowers either side of it is the lack of huge tourist developments, lending a tranquil, unspoiled feel to this beautiful stretch of the Spanish coast.

Costa de la Luz Golf and Beyond

The Costa De La Luz is comprised of the provinces of Cadiz and Huelva, which are emerging as great new alternatives to the traditional golf holiday destinations. Huelva, which borders Portugal, is increasingly being influenced by the neighbouring Algarve, which has not only resulted in some great golf courses but a unique local culture.

Stretching further south, Cadiz encompasses Spain’s southernmost coastline, bordering Gibraltar, where world-class golfing venues like Montecastillo can be found. Costa de la Luz has become a rising star in recent years, the perfect change of pace destination for epic golf and untouched beauty.
