Meliá Villaitana & The Level Villaitana
Costa Blanca
Located just 25 minutes from Alicante Airport are the two hotels at the Villaitana Resort. The blinding four-star Melia Villaitana and the five-star luxurious Level Villaitana are both fantastic properties, but if you are seeking some privacy along with quieter surroundings, The Level may be the better option. With fantastic views of the Gran Bahia, the four-star Melia Villaitana is simply lovely with 356 bedrooms featuring facilities such as Wi-Fi, satellite television and a balcony or terrace. The Level has just 99 guestrooms and suites, but visitors to this fantastic hotel will enjoy a separate area for breakfast dining, private reception and exclusive pool areas. The large golf complex lies adjacent to the two hotels and boasts two 18-hole courses designed by golfing legend Jack Nicklaus, a fantastic golf range and short game practice areas. In true Nicklaus design fashion, the Levante signature course offers a fine blend of risk and reward with numerous hazards, wide fairways and large undulating greens. The shorter test of the Poniente course is Villaitana’s second course and acts as the perfect antidote to the lengthy Levante. The resort boasts no less than six restaurants as well as a fantastic lounge bar offering the perfect place to relax and unwind ensuring you have plenty in the tank for visiting the vibrant nightlife of Benidorm.

About The Area
Alicante is one of the Costa Blanca’s strongest all-round golf destinations, combining Mediterranean coastline, vibrant city atmosphere and easy access to a dense cluster of championship courses. With its international airport just minutes from the centre, it’s particularly convenient for short breaks and long weekends, making it a firm favourite with UK golfers.
The city’s flagship venue is Alicante Golf, designed by Seve Ballesteros and located just outside the city centre. Known for its wide fairways, strategic water hazards and large greens, it offers a balanced test suitable for mixed-ability groups. Inland, Font del Llop Golf Resort provides a more modern championship feel, with rolling terrain and panoramic mountain views. For those seeking a premium experience, Las Colinas Golf & Country Club, around 45 minutes south, consistently ranks among Spain’s top courses, delivering immaculate conditioning and a more secluded, tournament-style challenge.
Golf in this part of Spain benefits from over 300 days of sunshine annually. Fairways tend to play firm, greens are reliable and rounds are typically relaxed in pace. The most comfortable playing months are March–June and September–November, avoiding the height of summer heat while enjoying excellent course conditions.
Away from the fairways, Alicante’s marina and Explanada promenade provide lively evening options. Tapas bars and seafood restaurants line the Old Town, while the hilltop Castillo de Santa Bárbara offers sweeping coastal views. Nearby beaches such as Playa del Postiguet allow for easy post-round relaxation, and the surrounding Vinalopó wine region adds vineyard visits to the itinerary.
For golfers seeking convenience, reliable sunshine and strong course variety within a vibrant Mediterranean city setting, Alicante delivers one of the Costa Blanca’s most accessible and well-rounded golf escapes.
