Best Golf-Resort Stays in Benidorm

Beach base, Costa Blanca fairways inland

Hotel Colón sits directly on Poniente Beach next to the Benidorm Sailing Club, with two golf courses reachable within ten minutes' drive, making it the more golf-convenient of the two picks here despite its beachfront rather than fairway-adjacent position along the water. The hotel's own restaurant serves traditional Spanish cuisine each evening, a straightforward way to end a day that started on the sand and finished on the back nine somewhere inland from the coast road running south toward Villajoyosa and beyond. Guests can also try watersports at the neighbouring Benidorm Sailing Club on a non-golfing afternoon, keeping the beach side of the trip just as active as the fairway side.

Aparthotel BCL Levante Club places Faula Golf Club just two kilometres away while keeping guests two hundred metres from Levante Beach, useful for golfing travellers who also want children's facilities and a pool circuit for non-playing family members back at the apartment while one or two of the group head out for a round on their own schedule each day of the stay, whether that means an early tee time or a late-afternoon nine holes. The apartment's own kitchen also means golfers can grab an early breakfast before a first tee time without waiting on a hotel dining room to open.

Both properties treat golf as a day trip rather than a doorstep amenity, which fits the wider Costa Blanca pattern: courses cluster around Alicante, Villajoyosa and the inland valleys rather than inside Benidorm's own beach strip itself, so no hotel in town can genuinely claim a course view from its own rooms without stretching the truth about the actual distance involved between the property and the nearest fairway or clubhouse. Both hotels instead lean on Benidorm's own beach and old town to fill the rest of a golfing day, rather than promising fairway views neither can honestly deliver.

The trade-off is worth naming plainly: neither hotel offers a course view or a golf-resort atmosphere in the way an inland Costa Blanca golf hotel would; what they offer instead is a genuine beach stay with golf kept realistically close, not a compromise on the beach side of the equation at all, which is exactly what most golfing travellers visiting Benidorm specifically are looking for when they book a stay here over an inland alternative. The short drive inland or along the coast becomes part of the trip itself, a scenic stretch of the Costa Blanca most beach-only visitors never see at all.

Benidorm itself has no golf course within its town limits, but Alicante province around it carries one of the Costa Blanca's denser concentrations of courses, built through the same tourism boom decades that raised Benidorm's towers along the seafront and reshaped the coastline entirely. That geography makes Benidorm function as a beach-first, golf-second base: mornings on Levante or Poniente sand, afternoons on a course a short drive inland or along the coast toward Villajoyosa, before returning each evening to the same stretch of promenade and restaurants that drew most travellers here in the first place, golfers included.
