Fairplay Golf & Spa Resort is a peaceful five-star golf retreat in Benalup-Casas Viejas, surrounded by the natural landscapes of Cádiz province. Designed to resemble a traditional Andalusian white village, the resort features whitewashed buildings, courtyards, narrow pathways and open terraces overlooking the La Janda valley and nearby Los Alcornocales Natural Park. Its quiet countryside setting makes it particularly appealing to golfers seeking a relaxing alternative to Spain’s busier coastal resorts.

Golf sits at the heart of the experience. Designed by Baron Paul Rolin in 2002, the resort’s 18-hole, par-73 course measures 6,072 metres from the white tees. The layout moves through olive trees, pines and cork oaks, with water playing a greater role across the front nine before the back nine introduces elevated tees and wider views across the valley. The short distances between holes and convenient pathways also make the course comfortable to navigate during a multi-round golf holiday.

Practice facilities include a driving range, two putting greens, a chipping green and a three-hole short course. Recent golfer feedback highlights the attractive surroundings, enjoyable layout and quality of the clubhouse and restaurant, although the water hazards can provide a stern test for anyone struggling with accuracy from the tee.

Away from the course, guests can relax beside the seasonal outdoor pool or visit Aura Spa, where the Aquamédic water circuit includes massage stations, underwater jets, waterfalls and bubbling relaxation areas. Comfortable rooms and suites, several dining options and the resort’s secluded atmosphere make Fairplay well suited to couples, small groups and mixed parties where relaxation is as important as the golf.
