San Pedro is the original course at La Quinta, and forms the backbone of the toughest course make-up. There is a good variety of holes, with some delightful par-3s being off-set by exacting long holes, where finding the correct position off the tee is crucial. The highlight is the 5th, where the fairway is banked on either side by mature pine trees and out-of-bounds.
Named in honour of a beautiful local village, the Ronda course will test the precision and accuracy of every golfer with undulating fairways and fast, difficult greens. There are blind tee shots to be negotiated, while the most demanding proposition is undoubtedly the long 6th, requiring three good strikes to find the target.
Set against the backdrop of the awe-inspiring Sierra Blanca mountain range, the Guadaiza is the newest addition to La Quinta Golf. It is also the longest of the three loops, demanding powerful and accurate drives. Negotiating the three successive par-5s is the key to mastering the Guadaiza.
La Quinta is home to the International Golf Academy, where Manuel Pinero leads an outstanding facility that runs dedicated tuition and instruction clinics.
Set amidst the stunning gardens, the hotel has a wide range of high quality guest rooms from deluxe, grand deluxe and ‘workout' rooms to opulent suites, all of which are perfectly equipped to ensure total comfort and relaxation.
All rooms reflect the traditional Andalucian style, with recurring motifs such as terracotta tiles and woven cane furniture. Bedroom amenities include climate control, while the private balconies and terraces allow guests to relax and enjoy the views over the golf course and the surrounding hills.
Arguably among the finest hotels in all of Andalucia, La Quinta is the choice for the traveller seeking added luxury as part of a golfing holiday.
La Quinta's amazing spa is brand new, and has been influenced by the Arabic and Andalucian heritage of the region. Every single feature has been specifically designed to soothe all the senses, while the complex is complete with wet and dry areas, a sauna, Turkish bath, jacuzzis, massages, rassul therapy and aromatherapy. There is an enormous outdoor swimming pool with surrounding sun terrace, and also a well-equipped gym with state-of-the-art training equipment.
If you're feeling thirsty, choose from the amazing Arabian themed Aljama Lounge, or chill out with a cocktail at the El Mirador Pool Bar.
The Kaede Japanese restaurant is perched above the dramatic coastline, where bold Eastern dishes are served at communal teppanyaki tables.
At the Los Arcos Restaurant, age-old local flavours are fused imaginatively with the best in modern international cuisine.
