Estepona Golf Holidays
Estepona is a little quieter holiday Resort than those further down the Coast such as Puerto Banus or Fuengirola. However, whilst the night life might not be so frantic as in those Resorts it is still a very popular holiday destination. The Towns history goes back to pre- historic and Roman times and has been based on the port and marina. It is still a thriving fishing port today with local fisherman bringing their catch to market on a regular basis. There are 20 Kms of coast line with some of the best beaches on the whole of the Coast.
How To Get To Estepona
Estepona is nearer to the airport in Gibraltar than to Malaga being about 45 Kms away. However, there are more flights into Malaga Airport from the UK and Ireland and that is about 80 Kms away. There are good motorway connections from Malaga, so it is about an hour’s drive away. One thing to consider if you fly into Gibraltar is that it is much better to walk across the Border and hire a car on the Spanish side than in the Airport as there can be long delays crossing the border.
Places To Stay In Estepona
There are rooms available in all grades of accommodation from luxury five-star Hotels to self-catering apartments. Two of the leading Hotels would be the GrandHotel Elba and the Kempinski Hotel Bahia. The former has direct access to the beach and is within walking distance of the Port area and the latter is similarly close to the town centre. The four-star H10 Estepona Palace and the Iberostar Costa del Sol are two of the most popular four-star hotels.
Estepona Golf Courses
Estepona is close enough to some of Spain’s great golf courses in the Sotogrande area such as Valderrama and La Reserva but there are several very good courses in the immediate locality. Estepona Golf is one of the friendliest golf courses and is a very pleasant challenge without being too exacting. More demanding and one of the finest courses in the area is Finca Cortesin which has hosted several major European Tournaments. Its reputation grows by the year and is well worth a visit. Valle Romano Golf is one of the newer additions to the golf scene and offers excellent value for money. There is some very good accommodation on the site in the four-star Aparthotel Ona. Atalaya Park, Dona Julia, La Duquesa and El Paraiso are other very good courses in the vicinity.
