Thursday 6th March 2025 –
Just a short flight from Europe’s major cities and only 30 minutes from Málaga Airport, La Cala Resort is the ultimate golf and lifestyle destination on the Costa del Sol. Nestled between the vibrant city of Málaga and the glamour of Marbella, the resort, owned by FBD Hotels & Resorts, recently unveiled an exciting series of renovations, further enhancing its world-class facilities. Having celebrated its 35th anniversary last year, La Cala’s commitment to excellence was recognised when it was crowned Spain’s ‘Golf Resort of the Year 2024’ at the prestigious IAGTO Awards, re-affirming its status as a must-visit destination for golfers and leisure seekers alike.
The resort undertook an extensive renovation project over the winter, transforming half of its 107 rooms with a modern and stylish redesign. Guests will now enjoy more spacious rooms equipped with modern furnishings, brand-new cupboards, and a décor that reflects the essence of Andalusian heritage. Each room features balconies or terraces, air conditioning, twin or double beds, and easy-access USB sockets for charging devices. Golfers will particularly appreciate the golf bag racks in the newly designed walk-in closets.
“We’re delighted to announce that the first part of our room renovations is complete, and we are now ready to welcome guests to experience both the comfort of our updated rooms and the fantastic facilities we offer,” said Sean Corte-Real, General Manager of La Cala Resort. “With everything in place, it’s the perfect time to escape to the Costa del Sol, where guests can enjoy our three championship golf courses, which have been extensively improved over the last five years.”
La Cala Resort has also introduced a cutting-edge golf simulator featuring the latest sensor technology for unparalleled precision. Guests can now play a few holes in the Sports Lounge, located in the Clubhouse, and experience the thrill of playing at famous courses like Pebble Beach or preparing for their next day’s game on the La Cala courses. This new addition offers an immersive golfing experience similar to the one enjoyed by players like Shane Lowry and Rory McIlroy at the TGL.
In addition to its new rooms and golf experiences, La Cala Resort continues to deliver exceptional dining options. The newly renovated La Terraza restaurant now features a large terrace area offering stunning views of the pool, a private dining area and a new buffet section for breakfast. La Terraza will serve a new Tapas & Mediterranean inspired menu to guests in the evening. A second addition to the dining lineup is the new Steakhouse restaurant, which has been crafted for salad and steak lovers alike. While its main feature will be steaks cooked on charcoal, the menu will also feature a selection of succulent salads based on seasonal ingredients. All this is accompanied by carefully selected beers, IPAs, and vermouths that are perfect for every taste.
La Cala Resort is more than just a golfing destination, it’s a thriving community where residents and guests can experience a lifestyle that blends luxury living with the natural beauty of the Costa del Sol. From world-class golfing to exceptional dining and stunning accommodations, La Cala Resort remains one of the world’s premier destinations where golf, nature, and luxury come together seamlessly.
