Just 100 metres from Marbella's beach and an easy stroll into the old town, Hotel Lima is a handy base if you want to play good Costa del Sol golf but still have restaurants, bars and the seaside on your doorstep. If you like to finish 18 holes and be back in "real life" quickly, this place makes a lot of sense.
Puerto Banús is a short drive along the coast when you fancy marina glitz and a later night, while Marbella's cobbled lanes and boutique shopping are close enough for an easy wander after breakfast. The hotel's rooftop terrace gives you panoramic views across Marbella when you get back from your round, cold drink in hand, before retreating to spacious, newly renovated rooms designed for proper rest.
Who is this for? Golfers who want Marbella walkability, beach time and quick access to a good spread of courses.
Who is it best for? Couples and small groups who prefer a central hotel base over a full golf resort, especially if nightlife and dining are part of the plan.
You're spoiled for choice within a short drive. Build your week around classics like Los Naranjos and Marbella Club Golf, then mix in coastal scenery at Cabopino or a different type of test at Calanova. For another quality option, look at Chaparral or Santa Clara.
