The 5-star hotel sits on the famous Costa del Sol shoreline and includes the Michael Campbell Academy alongside three courses. Built and decorated in traditional Italian Tuscan style, the resort features ancient sculptures throughout the property, including the rooms themselves.
There are 125 rooms, suites and villas, including nine private-pool villas, so it suits everything from couples' breaks to full society trips. Views vary, but many rooms look over the courses towards the Mediterranean, and on a clear day you may even catch the Rock of Gibraltar in the distance.
Facilities-wise, you're well covered. The Beach Club makes Anantara Villa Padierna a solid choice for families and groups, not just golfers looking to experience Malaga's range of quality courses. The Spa Medical Wellness at Villa Padierna is a haven of relaxation, where you can enjoy the indoor dynamic treatment swimming pool and a circuit with nine saunas and steam rooms. Signature treatments in the purpose-built relaxation areas include hot stone massages, salt and oil scrubs, and a wide range of health and beauty therapies. The more active will appreciate the state-of-the-art gym, fitted with excellent cardiovascular training equipment and a range of free weights.
The Michael Campbell Golf Academy is the flagship academy for the 2005 US Open Champion. Michael Campbell is excited to have his first academy based at Anantara Villa Padierna Golf Resort. Coaching is led by Steven Palmer, Daniel Williams and Andrew Laird, all PGA-qualified with 30+ years' combined experience. Expect options for private lessons and on-course coaching, group tuition and society clinics, custom fitting and club repairs, and golf-specific fitness support and course management.
If you're booking for a mixed-ability group, it's also a handy way to keep everyone happy. Beginners can get up to speed while the low-handicappers go and chase birdies.
If you want to play Villa Padierna as part of a Costa del Sol golf break, we can package your stay with guaranteed tee times and transfers.
Anantara Villa Padierna Palace offers six restaurants and bars, each with a different experience. Enjoy Mediterranean cuisine with authentic Italian influence in La Loggia, while the 99 Sushi Bar & Restaurant brings rich and complex, yet authentic, Japanese flavours to a serene lake setting. Light snacks are available in La Pérgola, offering a delightful garden setting overlooking the pool. Sample a signature paella dish with a glass of local cava at the By The Sea Beach Club, or head to Eddy's Bar for cigars, aged whisky and cocktails in a traditional English setting.
