Discover the ultimate golf getaway this summer on the Costa del Sol
When summer arrives on the Costa del Sol, the light, the weather, and the scenery create the perfect setting for enjoying golf. At Rio Real, just a few minutes from downtown Marbella and easily accessible from Mijas and Fuengirola, a historic golf course, a boutique hotel, and wellness offerings come together to provide a unique getaway by the Mediterranean.
Why choose the Costa del Sol for summer golf?
The Costa del Sol, known as the Costa del Golf, enjoys more than 300 days of sunshine a year. Summer brings long days, gentle sea breezes, and well-maintained courses that invite you to play from early morning until sunset.
Its microclimate allows visitors to enjoy pleasant temperatures even during the height of summer, whether they’re heading out early in the morning or returning at the end of the day. That’s why hotel and golf packages tend to be booked well in advance at one of Europe’s most renowned golf destinations.
The Rio Real Experience: Much More Than Just Golf
1. A legendary course designed by Javier Arana
The heart of Rio Real is its 18-hole, par-72 golf course, designed by the legendary Javier Arana. The course follows the Real River to its mouth on the Mediterranean and combines natural beauty, strategy, and variety for players of all skill levels.
Its mature trees, well-manicured greens, and unobstructed views make every round a memorable experience. It’s a course for those looking to play golf in Marbella during the summer without sacrificing the character and history of one of the Costa del Sol’s most iconic courses.
2. A boutique hotel to stay at
The experience can continue at the Rio Real boutique hotel, an intimate setting where the essence of Andalusia blends with elegant, contemporary design.
After a day at the beach or on the golf course, the rooms and suites offer tranquility, privacy, and views of the countryside. Waking up next to the fairways, enjoying a leisurely breakfast, and unwinding in a setting surrounded by nature are all part of a stay designed to let you experience Marbella in a whole new way.
3. Improve Your Game at the Rio Real Academy
