The Westin La Quinta Golf Resort & Spa sits right in Marbella's Golf Valley, tucked into the Sierra Blanca hills with the coast only a short hop away. You're close enough to Puerto Banús and Marbella for a night out, but far enough from the buzz to feel like you've actually escaped.
Golf is the headline. La Quinta's 27 holes, designed by former Ryder Cup player Manuel Piñero, can be played in three different combinations, so groups can mix it up over a long weekend. Expect quick, true greens and plenty of views, with the mountains behind you and the Mediterranean out in the distance. Recent bunker work has helped keep the course in sharp nick, which is exactly what you want when you've come to the Costa del Sol for a proper round.
Off the course, it's a full five-star resort with 170 recently renovated rooms, all with Westin's Heavenly Bed in king or two queens. Add a Moorish-inspired spa, solid dining options and a strong location for beaches, shopping and nightlife, and you've got a base that works for serious golfers, couples and mixed groups. If you're building a sunshine break around quality golf and a bit of Marbella atmosphere, La Quinta makes it very easy to say yes.
