La Cala Resort has been crowned Spain’s Best Golf Hotel at the 2025 World Golf Awards, a prestigious international accolade recognising the finest destinations in global golf tourism. The award reinforces La Cala’s position as one of Europe’s leading golf and lifestyle resorts and celebrates the stunning transformation the property has undergone in recent years.
Voted for by golf industry professionals, tour operators and the public, the honour acknowledges the resort’s exceptional blend of championship golf, contemporary hospitality and authentic Andalusian character. With three 18-hole courses designed by Cabell B. Robinson, alongside a new nine-hole academy course opened this summer, La Cala Resort now offers an unrivalled 63 holes of golf, the largest single-site golf offering in Spain.
The resort’s hotel has been recently refreshed to reflect a modern Mediterranean aesthetic, providing the perfect base from which to explore the property’s many attractions. Guests can expect bright, spacious rooms with panoramic terraces overlooking the mountains and fairways, a luxurious spa, and an array of leisure and sporting facilities that establish La Cala Resort as a year-round destination for golfers and holidaymakers alike.
Dining has played a central role in the resort’s evolution, with the newly refurbished La Terraza restaurant and the popular Steakhouse forming part of a vibrant culinary offering. Each venue combines quality local produce with warm service and spectacular views, hallmarks of the La Cala experience.
The resort also hosts a diverse calendar of events, from the annual La Cala Golf World Open and End-of-Year Golf Tournament to charity fixtures such as the Cudeca Cup, all of which contribute to its reputation as one of Spain’s most welcoming golf communities.
Sean Corte-Real, General Manager of La Cala Resort, said: “To be named Spain’s Best Golf Hotel is a tremendous honour and a reflection of our team’s commitment to excellence. Every area of the resort, from our golf courses and hotel to our dining and leisure facilities, has been elevated to deliver a world-class guest experience. This recognition belongs to everyone who contributes to making La Cala the special place it is.”
The World Golf Awards form part of the World Travel Awards programme and are regarded as the benchmark for quality across the international golf and hospitality industries. For La Cala Resort, this latest accolade follows last year’s IAGTO Award for Golf Resort of the Year (Europe), further strengthening its standing as one of the continent’s most celebrated golf destinations.
Beyond golf, La Cala Resort continues to evolve as a lifestyle resort, offering a distinctive blend of leisure, wellbeing and residential living. Ongoing investment across the hotel, golf and real estate portfolio is creating new opportunities for visitors, members and homeowners to experience the best of Mediterranean life in an authentic Andalusian setting. Located just 30 minutes from Málaga Airport, La Cala Resort embodies the spirit of modern resort living where community, nature and sport come together in harmony.
