Las Colinas Residences

Tucked into a private valley south of Alicante, Las Colinas Golf & Country Club feels genuinely removed from the busy Costa Blanca coastline, surrounded by natural parkland and rolling hills. The Cabell B. Robinson-designed championship course is the centrepiece; a modern layout winding through woodland and open valleys, with wide fairways in places but plenty of movement in the greens and clever bunkering that rewards smart positioning. Rather than a traditional hotel, accommodation is in stylish, contemporary residences; apartments and villas with terraces, kitchens and open-plan living that suit groups or longer stays particularly well. On-site there’s a small selection of quality restaurants, a seasonal beach club on the coast, gym facilities and practice areas near the clubhouse. The whole experience feels quiet, organised and upmarket without being formal.
