Golf holidays score high in Costa Del Sol

Posted by admin under Golf Travel, Spain

With the popularity of Spain’s Costa Del Sol continuing to soar as a holiday hotspot, investors are hoping to make a mint in developing more facilities, and in particular, golf courses along the ‘Sunshine Coast’.

Although once upon a time the Costa Del Sol was populated with nothing more than traditional Spanish towns and villages, over the past 50 years it has become one of the most visited holiday destinations in the world, due mainly to its climate.

After the potential of the place was realised, developers quickly moved in, building modern resorts and other facilities for tourists, meaning that not only the climate, but nowadays also the leisure facilities draw millions of visitors every year.

Yet with the amount of development already at a peak, the Costa Del Sol is looking at attracting more businesses who are prepared to invest in the area in the long term, in particular to attract golf tourists or golfers who might want to buy a holiday home in the region.

Spanish Property Insight spokesman, Mark Stucklin, said: “It’s a good place to buy a holiday home because of the climate, and because it’s probably got the best leisure offerings in Europe - golf courses, hiking around the coast, great shopping, a lot of restaurants In that respect it’s one of the world’s great holiday destinations, without a doubt.”

Famous golfer Jack Niklaus is among those who have promoted golf tourism in the Costa Del Sol. While it has always been a favourite for golfing holidays, developers are now making new bigger and better courses with the aim of attracting more golfers.

It is not only professionals such as Niklaus who have promoted the sport, but the Costa Del Sol is renowned as a playground for the rich, who often have an interest in the hobby. Developers are hoping that they will attract the golfing public, who may wish to emulate their lifestyles.
