Benefits of buying golf properties on the Costa del Sol

At New Home Marbella, we are often asked about golf properties in the world-famous Marbella Club Hotel Golf Resort or Valderrama Golf in Sotogrande, but these are just two of the many superb golf resorts on this beautiful coastline. The Costa del Sol is home to an incredible array of golf clubs and resorts, offering buyers a wide choice of golf apartments and golf villas for sale to suit all budgets and requirements.

Resorts like La Quinta Golf Resort & Spa or Los Arqueros Golf & Country Club have been designed to provide ultimate golfing experience. However, those who don’t play, can still enjoy the many benefits and perks of owning a property in a luxury golf resort on the Costa del Sol.

Living in a luxury golf resort is about so much more than golf, residents gain access to a very special lifestyle. Contrary to popular belief, golf resorts don’t only appeal to those who play the sport, they are extremely popular with families as they offer a safe and secure neighbourhood, with well-maintained grounds, amenities and properties.

Here our 8 ways that you can benefit from living in a luxury golf resort on the Costa del Sol.

1. Any time is Tee time

As we’re talking about golf resorts, we have to start with the most obvious benefit… the golf course is literally on your doorstep, allowing you to play when you want, and as often as you want. Imagine no travel time, leisurely games and as much practice as you need. All you need to do is book, pack your golf clubs and head outside.

2. Healthy lifestyle

As we touched upon above, the most obvious perk of living within a golf resort is that you can play golf every day if you like. This is not only convenient it has amazing health benefits too. Golf is a great form of exercise that gets you outside into the fresh air and sunshine, which in turn boosts vitamin D levels, relieves stress and improves the immune system. Many people set a goal of walking 10,000 steps per day, imagine the energy and calories burned whilst traversing an 18-hole golf course…and it’s much more fun!

3. Choose your dream home

Some people have a misconception that golf resorts and golf properties are similar in style, features and amenities. This could not be further from the truth, every golf resort on the Costa del Sol is unique and so are the golf apartments and golf villas for sale.

Just as the unique topography of the landscape influences a golf course design, similarly architects design golf properties to work harmoniously with the individual location, landscape and views. Some villas may be in a frontline golf position with views across the course, others maybe tucked back in an elevated position to get a panoramic view of the countryside or sea. 

Similarly, each resort offers different amenities, this could range from access to a golf course, clubhouse and communal swimming pool, or a villa with its own private pool, through to accessing all of the amenities in a 5-star hotel and Spa complex.  As a rule of thumb, the wider the choice of amenities the bigger budget you’ll need.

4. Security and maintenance

Golf resorts are gated communities with their own security guards and CCTV cameras, making them a safe and secure environment. This means that even if you are not a full-time resident, you can rest assured that your property will be well taken care of.  It is also comforting to know that you fellow owners and neighbours will be like-minded people who appreciate the golf resort lifestyle.

5. Make new connections

Speaking of your fellow golfers…living in a golf resort on the Costa del Sol is a great way to connect with people. Luxury Spa and Golf resorts offer a wide range of amenities provided for the exclusive use of their hotel guests and residents within the resort. Facilities can include tennis courts, gym, swimming pool and social spaces, where you can mingle or simply get to know your neighbours. Many of the people who frequent these resorts are well established and connected professionals from all over the world, offering the opportunity for networking in beautiful surroundings.

6. 5-star amenities

If you own property in a 5-star golf resort, owners can expect to reap the benefits of living within close proximity to a prestigious venue.  In addition to the first call on the golf course, owners are often entitled to use the facilities at preferential rates. Facilities can include Michelin star restaurants, bars, designer shops, fitness centres and Spas, swimming pools, tennis courts and the hotel’s concierge service.

7. Beautiful landscapes and scenery

It is no accident that the Costa del Sol’s golf courses are a masterpiece in design, every undulating green, waterfall, lake and sand bunker has been planned to the smallest detail, often by a celebrity golfer to ensure optimum excitement.  In addition to the wonderful vistas that can be enjoyed as you travel the golf course or sip a drink in the clubhouse, many golf properties are built in an elevated position to provide the best possible views, not only of the greens but across the surrounding countryside or breath-taking sea views.

8.  A good investment property

The demand for golf properties is consistently high, particularly in Marbella and the wider Costa del Sol.  The very nature of a golf resort, with well-maintained grounds and properties, superb amenities, owners’ perks, close proximity to countryside and stunning views are extremely attractive to investors. Also, the safety and security are extremely valuable benefits for any owners planning on jetting in and out of Marbella.
