Tucked between Estepona and Marbella, Sol Marbella Estepona Atalaya Park sits around five minutes by car from Puerto Banús, far enough inland to escape the coastal crowds but close enough to feel the Mediterranean breeze. Right, here's the key bit. You're close to Málaga airport and you've got a stack of Costa del Sol courses within an easy drive, so it's a handy base if the group wants variety.
You're ideally placed for the 36 holes at Atalaya Golf & Country Club (Old Course and New Course), which is the main golfing draw for staying in the Atalaya area. Atalaya Golf & Country Club is close by, with El Paraiso Golf Club also a short drive away. For groups with mixed abilities or families where not everyone swings a club, the sheer range of activities, from pools to kids' clubs to evening entertainment, means nobody is left twiddling their thumbs.
If you're after a boutique hideaway, this isn't that. It's a big, lively resort that's set up to make golf trips easy, especially for societies and mixed groups. The 50,000 square metres of subtropical gardens give the place a sense of space and calm, even when the resort is busy. Whether you're here for a long weekend with mates, a family holiday where golf is part of the plan or a week-long tour of Andalucía's finest courses, this is a straightforward, good-value base that works brilliantly for golf groups.
Who is this for? Golfers who want a reliable Costa del Sol base with loads of facilities, easy transfers and plenty of nearby course options for a 3 to 7-night trip.
Who is it best for? Society groups and families where golf is the main event but not the only plan, thanks to multiple pools, kids' club and evening entertainment.
