FAIRPLAY LUXURY ALL INCLUSIVE GOLF RESORT

Benalup Golf & Country Club neighbours the Fairplay Hotel, and is a stunning golf course with views over the La Janda Valley and the expanses of the Los Alcornocales natural park. The layout was conceived by Baron Paul Rolin, who was formerly a design partner of famed architect Robert Trent Jones Senior. The testing par-73 course is interspersed with no less than seven lakes, and is relatively flat. However, the higher points allow for amazing views over the valley, not least from the 10th tee on Benalup's short signature hole. The gentle undulations of the fairways are bordered by banks of trees, which, apart from making a beautiful backdrop, will punish wayward golfers. The 6,641 yard layout will be a thoroughly enjoyable test for every visitor, and with views as far as Africa's Northern coastline, Benalup is a truly memorable golfing destination.

Located on the doorstep of the Benalup Golf and Country Club, the hotel's accommodation consists of 82 rooms and suites, all designed and decorated according to the different stylistic influences; themes include Moroccan, Andalucian, English Colonial, Asian or Delvaux.

The stunning rooms are equipped with air-conditioning, mini-bar, high speed wireless internet connection and satellite plasma screen television, while the range of suites guarantee extra luxury required for a special occasion. Meanwhile, the Fairplay's 10 exclusive private villas benefit from a private swimming pool, sun terrace and complimentary golf cart, and provide the perfect privacy for groups and families.

There are numerous bars and restaurants and excellent facilities within the intimate resort, making it a terrific inland luxury option for your next golf or leisure holiday in Southern Spain.

The Fairplay SPA is a member of the Leading Spas of the World, and is among the most lavish in Spain. The dedicated complex is purpose-built to ensure total relaxation, a result of the magnificent range of daily, weekend or weekly programmes. There is a 226 square metre Aqua Medic Hydromassage pool, Vichy shower, sauna, jacuzzis, Vaporium and zen garden, while signature therapies include Hammam exfoliation, pressotherapy, seaweed body wraps and many more in the 13 treatment rooms. The hotel also has indoor and outdoor swimming pools, a state-of-the-art ‘Technogym', and an established equestrian academy. The more adventurous will enjoy the mountain biking, kayaking, fishing, climbing, wind-surfing and 4x4 off-road adventures that can be arranged.

There are a number of restaurants in the Fairplay Hotel, including La Table, an award-winning Mediterranean cuisine dining room.

There is an Asian restaurant, while Los Pomelos offers the best in traditional Spanish specialities.

The Fairplay Hotel has a pool side brasserie and a brunch room, while you can relax with a drink in the resident jazz bar named after artist Boogie Boy, or in the Putting Bar which overlooks the golf course.
