Where should I stay for a golf holiday in La Cala de Mijas?

Staying in La Cala de Mijas lets you experience a chilled-out, relaxed vibe on your golfing holiday. If you find yourself missing the buzz of a big city, look for villas in Málaga (Este) instead. Málaga is the largest city on the Costa del Sol, with shops, restaurants, and museums to keep you busy. You'll find even more shops and restaurants if you stay in a villa in Marbella Centre - but be warned, this exclusive resort can definitely be pricey. Villas in Marbella on the outskirts of town may be more budget-friendly, and are close to numerous great golf courses. You could also consider villas in Benalmádena for a more traditional Costa del Sol beach holiday. If you're a dedicated nature lover, nothing beats a villa in Nerja. This quiet, charming town has great access to a hiking holiday on the Costa del Sol, with routes leading through the mountains and to spectacular sea caves along the coast.
