Golf Holidays in Costa de la Luz
Set between the Costa del Sol and Portugal’s Algarve, Europe’s top two golf destinations, world-class golf courses have naturally flowed into the stunning setting of Costa de la Luz. The main contrast between Costa de la Luz and the golfing superpowers either side of it is the lack of huge tourist developments, lending a tranquil, unspoiled feel to this beautiful stretch of the Spanish coast.
The Costa De La Luz is comprised of the provinces of Cadiz and Huelva, which are emerging as great new alternatives to the traditional golf holiday destinations. Huelva, which borders Portugal, is increasingly being influenced by the neighbouring Algarve, which has not only resulted in some great golf courses but a unique local culture.
Stretching further south, Cadiz encompasses Spain’s southernmost coastline, bordering Gibraltar, where world-class golfing venues like Montecastillo can be found. Costa de la Luz has become a rising star in recent years, the perfect change of pace destination for epic golf and untouched beauty.
Looking out over gorgeous Gulf of Cadiz, Huelva has ancient roots but has developed into a vibrant, modern area complete with championship golf. Being the closest Spanish city to Portugal has led to a wonderful mixture of cultures coming together to form one of Europe’s most interesting cities.

The ancient city of Cadiz is the oldest continously inhabited community in all of Europe, but, it was not until recent years that this region became the top golf destination in Costa de la Luz. The unique culture of the city combined with the championship courses that surround it make for a golf holiday to remember.
