Valle Del Este is an expansive resort spread across desert terrain. The hotel is a low-rise, contemporary build with tasteful modern décor throughout, from the lobby to the guest rooms. Inside, you'll find clean lines, quality furnishings and a design that feels current without being overly minimalist.
The hotel offers 142 rooms in total, including 12 spacious suites. Every room comes with a private terrace offering views over the golf course, the coast or both, depending on your room category. Standard fittings include satellite television, high-speed internet, mini-bar, air-conditioning, telephone and safe deposit box. The suites step things up with more space and enhanced layouts, ideal for longer stays or those who want a bit more room to spread out after a round.
Valle Del Este's location gives you options. The resort itself is self-contained, with everything you need on-site, but it's also within easy reach of mountain villages and picturesque coastal spots if you want to explore the wider region. Almeria's climate delivers consistent sunshine, making it a dependable choice for golfers chasing firm, fast-running fairways.
Off-course, you've got a beach club open throughout the day, a full spa with hydrotherapy, beauty treatment cabins and a solarium, plus a gym if you're trying to behave between rounds. Water sports and sailing lessons can be arranged through the accredited sailing school for anyone who fancies a break from golf.
Dining is covered by five on-site restaurants. La Estancia is Almeria's most famous steak restaurant, specialising in top-quality Argentinian beef. Beyond that, you can choose from the buffet dining room, swimming pool grill, beach club restaurant, beach club terrace or the beach club trattoria, depending on your mood and appetite. For drinks, the resort has three bars: a poolside bar, a golf pub and a beach club bar. Late-night entertainment is available at Café del Arte, where local DJs play funk and electronic sessions on scheduled nights.
The setup works well for golfers who want a proper resort experience without sacrificing quality on the course. It's an easy resort to switch off in, especially if you're in a group and nobody fancies debating dinner plans every night. Everything is within walking distance, the facilities are modern and well-maintained, and the dining options give you enough variety to avoid repetition over a week-long stay.
