Villaitana( Levante)
Meliá Villaitana, nestled in Alicante’ s stunning landscape, is a luxurious resort renowned for its Mediterranean charm and world-class amenities. Boasting two championship golf courses, Levante and Poniente, designed by Jack Nicklaus, the resort offers golfers an unforgettable experience. The par 72 Levante course is an American style with wide fairways and shaped greens, but challenges players with its undulating terrain and 100 + strategically placed bunkers, while the Poniente course offers a more relaxed yet equally captivating round, offering marvellous views of the Mediterranean and of the Finestrat mountains. After a day on the greens, guests can unwind at the resort’ s lavish facilities.
Bonalba
Bonalba Golf Resort is set against a backdrop of lush Mediterranean vegetation and rolling hills, located in front of the sea and protected by the Sierra de Bonalba. The par-72 course with 6096 metres offers an exceptional 18-hole course designed by Ramón Espinosa. The course presents a delightful challenge for players of all levels with its strategic bunkers, water hazards, and undulating fairways. The resort offers excellent facilities to ensure a memorable stay in Alicante.
Villamartin
At 6,132 metres of the white tees, Villamartin is not excessively long but it has been adapted to the natural surroundings which can provide difficulties for wayward shots. Located in a river bed, the layout is quite varied without too many slopes. It has an abundance of Mediterranean vegetation and a thick grove, although these should rarely influence your game. The greens are quite large and once you avoid several obstacles like the natural cliffs and water hazards, Villamartin provides golfers with a good chance to beat their handicap.
