Oliva Nova Beach & Golf Resort is the sort of place that makes organising a trip easy. You've got a four-star beachfront base on Spain's Mediterranean coast, a proper 18-hole Seve Ballesteros design on site and enough off-course options to keep non-golfers just as happy as the fourball.
The setting does a lot of the heavy lifting. There's a long stretch of sand and dunes right by the resort, a lagoon-style pool for lazy afternoons and a spa and health centre when you fancy swapping spikes for slippers. If you're travelling as a mixed group or planning a whole family break, that balance of golf, beach and facilities is exactly what makes Oliva Nova work.
The star is the golf course. Seve's layouts rarely feel one-note and here you'll find holes that ask you to think, not just hit it hard. Expect resort golf with a bit of personality, framed by orange groves and open coastal ground, with the breeze often playing its part. Beyond the course, there are seven Padel courts if you want to mix things up, a FIFA-standard football pitch that's been used by elite teams over the years and a well-equipped Technogym with personal trainers available if you're serious about fitness.
When you're ready to venture out, Valencia sits to the north for a day of shopping and sightseeing around Ciutat Vella and Calle Colón. Or stay put and lean into the simple plan: sunshine, golf, beach, repeat.
Who is this for?
Golf groups, couples and families who want a true stay-and-play resort in the Spanish sun with beach access and plenty to do off the course.
Who is it best for?
Mid-handicap golfers who enjoy strategic design, mixed groups where not everyone plays and anyone who wants maximum golf time with minimal logistics.

The chance to play a course designed by Seve Ballesteros is an experience you can not let pass by. The 5 time major winning champion revolutionised the game of golf with his incredible short game on the course and his charisma off it. Oliva Nova Golf Course was a design he was particularly proud of and it is very easy to see why. The course is a classic resort layout and boasts no less than 15 holes with a water hazard making the course very aesthetically pleasing.
Despite Seve being one of the best players of all time from some the hardest spots on the course, he has managed to create 18 holes that are interesting and challenging for players of all abilities. The relatively even terrain makes it an easy walk, but great intrigue comes from the distinctive styles of the holes, which run in every direction and have dog-legs of various severity, with each posing a new test. Seňor Ballesteros himself is said to be particularly proud of his legacy at Oliva Nova, and with some justification: the resort has been chosen to host the Spanish National Championships. Aided and abetted by the outstanding climate, the golf course is a true highlight of any golfing escape at the Oliva Nova resort.
Before the round there is the chance to hone your skills at one of the best practice facilities in the country. The range has 25 artificial mats and a grass section that can hold 40 people. For those who want to practice their pitching and putting there is also a short 5 hole, par 3 course ideal for dialling in your wedges. The complex also boasts an excellent golf academy, whose multilingual team of accredited PGA professional use the latest and greatest equipment to help improve the skills of all golfers, from novices through to experts. Once you’ve finished your round, the stylish and luxurious clubhouse awaits. The house is perfectly situated with views of 1st, 8th and 10th tees allowing you to bask in the sunshine with a beer whilst taking in the stunning scenery.
