If you’re planning to play at Atalaya Golf & Country Club this summer, you’re not only choosing one of the most iconic courses on the Costa del Sol—you’re also placing yourself in the heart of a region full of options to make the most of your day or your stay.
Located between Marbella and Estepona, our club enjoys a prime location that offers easy access to beaches, charming towns, local gastronomy, and unique cultural experiences. Here are some recommendations to help you make the most of your visit:
1. Relax on the best beaches in the area
After a morning round of golf, few things beat a relaxing afternoon by the sea. Nearby our club, you’ll find Playa de Guadalmina, ideal for a peaceful swim or a drink at a beachfront bar.
Other nearby beaches worth visiting include:
- Playa del Saladillo: perfect for a sunset walk.
- Playa de Puerto Banús: for a livelier, more cosmopolitan atmosphere.
Thanks to the Costa del Sol’s excellent climate, you can enjoy warm waters and clear skies throughout most of the summer.
2. Tapas, Mediterranean cuisine, and local gastronomy
The area offers a wide variety of restaurants where you can enjoy the best of Andalusian cuisine. From fresh seafood to traditional tapas and grilled meats, there’s something for every taste and budget.
Recommended areas to dine after your round:
- San Pedro de Alcántara: for a local vibe and great value.
- Estepona town centre: full of charm and Andalusian flavours.
- Benahavís: a small mountain village known as “the dining room of the Costa del Sol,” ideal for a special evening meal.
3. Stroll through Marbella’s old town
Just 20 minutes from Atalaya, Marbella’s historic centre is a must-visit. With its cobbled streets, flower-filled balconies, and lively plazas, it’s the perfect place to cool off and enjoy authentic Andalusian character.
We recommend:
- Having coffee at Plaza de los Naranjos
- Wandering through the narrow streets with artisan shops and galleries
- Visiting the Moorish wall and the Church of the Incarnation
4. Culture, nature, and unique day trips
Looking for something more active or cultural? From Atalaya, you can easily plan incredible excursions that fit into a half-day or full-day outing:
- Caminito del Rey (1h30): a thrilling walk suspended between cliffs, perfect for adventurers.
- Málaga city (1h): home to the Picasso Museum, Centre Pompidou, a vibrant harbour, and historic tapas bars.
- Ronda (1h15): one of Spain’s most stunning white villages, famous for its dramatic bridge and views.
