Spain has earned a reputation as one of the world’s best golf destinations. And with good reason. Beautiful sunshine, fantastic courses, and delicious cuisine are just a few of the many perks of a trip to this spell-binding country. There is also a range of exceptional hotels. Ranging from luxury 5* properties to family-friendly resorts, and rustic countryside retreats, there’s something for everybody in this fun-loving nation. We take a look at five of Spain’s best golf hotels.

Abama Ritz Carlton

Ritz-Carlton Abama - The idyllic setting of Guía de Isora, the clean lines of Moorish-inspired architecture and the quiet beauty of the Atlantic create a stage for luxury at this Canary Island hotel.

Junior Suite - Walk-in wardrobe and full length mirrors, convenient sitting area in each suite and a king-size bed for maximum comfort.
Abama Kabuki - The fine dining restaurant proudly carries the mark of a Michelin star and is located, appropriately, at the top of the resort overlooking the ocean.
