Golf With a Mediterranean Backdrop

Meliá Villaitana sits just inland from Benidorm, with views stretching toward the Mediterranean and surrounding hills. The resort is home to two Nicklaus Design courses, Levante and Poniente, each offering a different test. Levante is the longer, more open layout, with generous fairways and elevation changes that bring the scenery into play. Poniente is shorter and more technical, with tighter holes and a stronger emphasis on accuracy.

The hotel itself is styled like a traditional Spanish village, spread across a hillside with plazas, terraces, and pools. Rooms are modern and comfortable, and most golfers find everything they need on site. Dining options range from casual buffet meals to quieter à la carte restaurants, making evenings easy without needing to head out. That said, Benidorm is only a short taxi ride away if you want more nightlife or beach time. Alicante Airport is around 40 minutes away, keeping travel straightforward for UK golfers.

Key Information

Golf conditions here are generally reliable, with well-kept fairways and greens that roll true without being overly quick. Levante suits mid to high handicappers who like room off the tee, while Poniente rewards sharper iron play and course management. The atmosphere is relaxed and international, with many golf-focused guests, especially in spring and autumn.

Service is efficient rather than flashy, and the setup works well for golf groups who want convenience. With two courses on site, practice facilities, and accommodation a short walk from the first tee, it’s easy to settle into a comfortable routine. The resort has also hosted European Tour events, adding a bit of pedigree without feeling intimidating.

Why Play at Meliá Villaitana?

For many golfers, Melia Villaitana hits a sweet spot between quality golf and easygoing resort life.

You can lean into the views and swing freely one day, then shift gears and think your way around the next. Off the course, everything is close at hand, from relaxed dining to quiet corners to unwind after golf. It’s social without being hectic, polished without feeling formal, and well-suited to both groups and longer stays.
