Lure of Golf in Valencia – There is nothing like a putting green by the ocean. Where you are off the course and on to the beach. Where golf greens and sea blues come together with coves and cliffs and where sand and sunshine bring warm elements to your holiday. Say hello to Valencia, Spain’s third largest city which is a bit like a bespoke zone of luxury in south of the country.
There are some great opportunities to play golf on the magnificent courses with views of the Mediterranean Sea, and with spring temperatures and succulent cuisine. 25 golf courses in one place make it par for the course with attractive resorts in the areas of Costa Blanca, Costa Azahar and Costa de Valencia. There is something for every golfer – from a range of courses to scenic beauty and historic swings – you can have them along the cities of Alicante and Castellón de la Plana, or a little beyond at Benidorm.
Valencia has several stunning and clear beaches that flaunt the “Q Flag” of quality, in resorts at Cullera (Valencia) and Orihuela (Alicante). Abundance of sand at the beaches in Gandía, Miramar, Canet d’en Berenguer and Sueca make the views pristine and the experience calming. For the family, there’s more – the sites in the city of Valencia, such as the City of Arts and Sciences, the historic quarter with its Gothic architecture, and the Roman heritage in the city of Sagunto.
Golfers like their luxury to follow them and so some of the good options to stay in Valencia include Parador de El Saler where you can enjoy a round of golf overlooking the Mediterranean Sea amid sand dunes and pines in the nature reserve of El Saler. Championship courses, fine dinging options, family entertainment, beaches, natural surroundings and history – it all comes together at Valencia.
Golf addicts love the course challenge but there is plenty off-the-beaten track stuff to do like surfing. Sail your own boat, and go waterskiing, parasailing, kitesurfing, scuba diving and if that’s not your game, simply enjoy the sun on a beach bed. Almost 8,000 kilometres of coastline presents a fairway of visual pleasure letting you marvel at the sight of your own feet seen through crystal-clear waters, enjoy the intense red hues of the sunset and experience all the sensations on offer at the best beaches in Spain.
