Where To Stay

Many Hotels are situated right in the centre of town so there are numerous restaurants and bars are all within walking distance.

Golf Courses In Fuengirola
Fuengirola is perfectly situated for the golfer as its virtually surrounded by some of the Regions best golf courses. Closest would be the two courses at Mijas which have long been favourites with visitors. They are both flat and walkable unlike some of the other courses in the area like El Chaparral where a buggy is probably necessary. Torrequebrada is one of the oldest and most popular courses and is one that we usually play on a visit. Close by and within easy travelling distance are the three courses at La Cala which are set up in the hills and offer magnificent views as well as good tests of golf. Next door is Santana which is one of the best of the newer golf courses and well worth a visit. Cabopino and Calanova are at the budget end but are very good value for money and ideal to include in a package deal.
