For a golf trip, the hotel you choose matters almost as much as the courses, because the right base means less time driving and more time playing. This is an honest guide to some of the best golf hotels near Alicante, chosen for genuine golfing convenience, comfort and value rather than marketing. We set out the criteria we used, so you can weigh them against what your group actually wants from a trip. <span class=\"hb-accent\"><strong>A note on transparency:<\/strong> this guide is published by Hotel Bonalba, and we have placed our own hotel first. We explain exactly why below, and you should read the criteria and judge for yourself. The other four hotels are genuine, well-regarded options, and any of them may be the right fit depending on your budget and the kind of trip you want.<\/span>\r\n<h2>How We Chose These Hotels<\/h2>\r\nThese are the five things we weighted, and the things worth checking whichever hotel you choose:\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><span class=\"hb-accent\"><strong>Golf on the doorstep.<\/strong><\/span> Does the hotel have its own course or a genuine golf package that arranges tee times, so you are not organising each round yourself?<\/li>\r\n<li><span class=\"hb-accent\"><strong>Proximity to Alicante and the airport.<\/strong><\/span> How far is the transfer, and how central is the base for reaching other courses on the Costa Blanca?<\/li>\r\n<li><span class=\"hb-accent\"><strong>Comfort and rest.<\/strong><\/span> Quality of rooms, dining and a spa or pool to recover in after a round.<\/li>\r\n<li><span class=\"hb-accent\"><strong>Value for a group.<\/strong><\/span> Is the room-plus-golf package priced fairly, with sensible options for two, three or four players?<\/li>\r\n<li><span class=\"hb-accent\"><strong>Real, recent reviews.<\/strong><\/span> Verifiable guest feedback on Google or a recognised travel platform, not just testimonials on the hotel&#8217;s own website.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nHere is the shortlist at a glance.\r\n<div class=\"hb-table-wrap\">\r\n<table class=\"hb-compare\">\r\n<thead>\r\n<tr>\r\n<th>Hotel<\/th>\r\n<th>Best for<\/th>\r\n<th>Where it is<\/th>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<\/thead>\r\n<tbody>\r\n<tr class=\"hb-pick\">\r\n<td data-label=\"Hotel\"><span class=\"hb-badge\">\u2605 Our pick<\/span><br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/hotelbonalba.com\/en\/golf-bonalba\/\"><strong>Hotel Bonalba<\/strong><\/a><\/td>\r\n<td data-label=\"Best for\">Its own adjacent course plus a package covering nearby courses, close to the city<\/td>\r\n<td data-label=\"Where it is\">Mutxamel, ~15 min from Alicante<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td data-label=\"Hotel\"><strong>La Finca Resort<\/strong><\/td>\r\n<td data-label=\"Best for\">A luxury inland resort with 36 holes on site<\/td>\r\n<td data-label=\"Where it is\">Algorfa, ~35 min from the airport<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td data-label=\"Hotel\"><strong>Denia Marriott La Sella<\/strong><\/td>\r\n<td data-label=\"Best for\">A coastal 5-star golf-and-spa resort to the north<\/td>\r\n<td data-label=\"Where it is\">D\u00e9nia, ~1 hr from Alicante<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td data-label=\"Hotel\"><strong>Asia Gardens Hotel &amp; Thai Spa<\/strong><\/td>\r\n<td data-label=\"Best for\">A spa-led luxury retreat with golf nearby<\/td>\r\n<td data-label=\"Where it is\">Finestrat, near Benidorm<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td data-label=\"Hotel\"><strong>Hotel Alicante Golf<\/strong><\/td>\r\n<td data-label=\"Best for\">The golf hotel closest to the city and the beach<\/td>\r\n<td data-label=\"Where it is\">Playa de San Juan, Alicante<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<\/tbody>\r\n<\/table>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<h2>1. <span class=\"hb-accent\">Hotel Bonalba<\/span> (Best for Its Own Course and a Central Base)<\/h2>\r\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-17003\" src=\"https:\/\/hotelbonalba.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/hotel-bonalba-resort-1-1024x576.png\" alt=\"Hotel Bonalba seen across the outdoor pool, a few steps from the Bonalba Golf course\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hotelbonalba.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/hotel-bonalba-resort-1-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/hotelbonalba.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/hotel-bonalba-resort-1-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/hotelbonalba.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/hotel-bonalba-resort-1-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/hotelbonalba.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/hotel-bonalba-resort-1-1536x864.png 1536w, https:\/\/hotelbonalba.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/hotel-bonalba-resort-1.png 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/> <strong>Disclosure:<\/strong> this guide is published by Hotel Bonalba, which is why we appear first and why we have set out our criteria openly. Read them, compare us with the four hotels below, and decide for yourself. <a href=\"https:\/\/hotelbonalba.com\/en\/golf-bonalba\/\">Hotel Bonalba<\/a> is a four-star resort hotel in Mutxamel, a short drive from Alicante, with its own 18-hole Bonalba Golf course a few steps from reception. Its strength for a golf trip is that it removes the logistics: as well as its own course, the hotel arranges <a href=\"https:\/\/hotelbonalba.com\/en\/golf-bonalba\/\">golf break packages<\/a> that bundle rooms, breakfast, green fees and tee times across several nearby courses, so your group can play a different course each day without organising a thing. <strong>Why it works as a golf base.<\/strong> The hotel sits roughly 15 minutes from central Alicante and around 20 to 25 minutes from Alicante airport, which keeps transfers short and puts a cluster of Costa Blanca courses within easy reach. After a round there is a heated indoor pool, a wellness and spa area with sauna and Turkish bath, a tropical outdoor pool, and Mediterranean cooking at the hotel restaurant. Rooms run from comfortable doubles up to larger suites, so mixed groups are easy to accommodate. You can browse <a href=\"https:\/\/hotelbonalba.com\/en\/book-rooms\/\">rooms and rates<\/a> or the <a href=\"https:\/\/hotelbonalba.com\/en\/wellness-beauty-center\/\">wellness centre<\/a> directly. <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-16443\" src=\"https:\/\/hotelbonalba.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Piscina-climatizada-1024x681.jpg\" alt=\"The heated indoor pool at Hotel Bonalba, open year round for recovering after a round\" width=\"1024\" height=\"681\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hotelbonalba.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Piscina-climatizada-1024x681.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/hotelbonalba.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Piscina-climatizada-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/hotelbonalba.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Piscina-climatizada-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/hotelbonalba.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Piscina-climatizada-1536x1022.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/hotelbonalba.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Piscina-climatizada-2048x1363.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/> <strong>What guests say.<\/strong> As with any hotel, we would suggest reading recent, verifiable reviews yourself on Google or a travel platform rather than relying on testimonials on our own site. <strong>Best for:<\/strong> golfers who want their own course on site, a ready-made package covering several nearby courses, and a central base close to the city and airport. <span class=\"hb-accent\">It is the right choice when you want to spend your time playing rather than planning.<\/span> You can check dates and put a trip together on the <a href=\"https:\/\/hotelbonalba.com\/en\/golf-bonalba\/\">Bonalba golf page<\/a>.\r\n<h2>2. La Finca Resort <span class=\"hb-accent\">(Best for a Luxury Inland Resort)<\/span><\/h2>\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.lafincaresort.com\/en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">La Finca Resort<\/a> is a five-star golf and spa resort in Algorfa, on the inland southern Costa Blanca, around 35 minutes from Alicante airport. It is a self-contained estate with two 18-hole courses on site, alongside tennis, padel, a gym and a full spa. <strong>Why consider them:<\/strong>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Two championship 18-hole courses without leaving the resort<\/li>\r\n<li>A full spa, plus tennis and padel for non-golfers in the group<\/li>\r\n<li>Rooms with terraces overlooking the course, pool or gardens<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<strong>Best for:<\/strong> groups who want an all-in-one luxury resort with plenty of golf on site.\r\n<h2>3.

Its 18-hole championship course, designed by Jos\u00e9 Mar\u00eda Olaz\u00e1bal, sits a two-minute walk from reception, and the resort has an extensive spa. <strong>Why consider them:<\/strong>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>An Olaz\u00e1bal-designed 18-hole course integrated into the resort<\/li>\r\n<li>A large spa with a hydrotherapy circuit and thermal menu<\/li>\r\n<li>A natural-park setting with hotel rooms and premium apartments<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<strong>Best for:<\/strong> golfers happy to base further north for a coastal five-star resort with a strong spa.\r\n<h2>4. Asia Gardens Hotel &amp; Thai Spa <span class=\"hb-accent\">(Best for a Spa-Led Luxury Retreat)<\/span><\/h2>\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.asiagardens.es\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Asia Gardens Hotel &amp; Thai Spa<\/a>, a Royal Hideaway resort in Finestrat near Benidorm, is a five-star, Asian-themed retreat built around an award-winning Thai Spa. It has no course of its own, but sits close to several 18-hole courses, so golf is easily arranged while basing at a wellness-led resort, around 45 minutes from Alicante airport. <strong>Why consider them:<\/strong>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>A signature Thai Spa and a strong wellness focus<\/li>\r\n<li>Several themed restaurants across Asian and Mediterranean cuisine<\/li>\r\n<li>Golf playable at nearby courses from a luxury base<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<strong>Best for:<\/strong> couples or groups who want a spa-first luxury stay with golf close by rather than on site.\r\n<h2>5.

It is around 800 metres from San Juan beach, making it a genuine beach-and-golf base within the city. <strong>Why consider them:<\/strong>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>An on-site 18-hole Seve Ballesteros course<\/li>\r\n<li>Walking distance to San Juan beach and close to central Alicante<\/li>\r\n<li>Recently renovated rooms, a wellness centre and an outdoor pool<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<strong>Best for:<\/strong> golfers who want to combine their round with the beach and the city on the doorstep.\r\n<h2>Which Hotel <span class=\"hb-accent\">Is Right for You?<\/span><\/h2>\r\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-11687\" src=\"https:\/\/hotelbonalba.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/forat-bernia-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"View over the Costa Blanca coast and mountains, the setting for a golf trip near Alicante\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hotelbonalba.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/forat-bernia-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/hotelbonalba.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/forat-bernia-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/hotelbonalba.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/forat-bernia-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/hotelbonalba.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/forat-bernia-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/hotelbonalba.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/forat-bernia-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/> There is no single best golf hotel near Alicante, only the best fit for your trip:\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><strong>You want your own course plus a package covering several nearby courses, close to the city:<\/strong> a hotel like Hotel Bonalba.<\/li>\r\n<li><strong>You want a luxury inland resort with 36 holes on site:<\/strong> La Finca Resort.<\/li>\r\n<li><strong>You want a coastal five-star golf-and-spa resort:<\/strong> Denia Marriott La Sella.<\/li>\r\n<li><strong>You want a spa-led luxury retreat with golf nearby:<\/strong> Asia Gardens.<\/li>\r\n<li><strong>You want golf, beach and city together:<\/strong> Hotel Alicante Golf.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nWhatever you choose, check how tee times are arranged, how far the transfers are, and read recent guest reviews before you book.\r\n<h2><span class=\"hb-accent\">Frequently Asked Questions<\/span><\/h2>\r\n<h3><span class=\"hb-accent\">When is the best time for a golf trip near Alicante?<\/span><\/h3>\r\nThe Costa Blanca plays well for most of the year. Spring and autumn offer warm, comfortable conditions, while winter is popular with Northern European golfers escaping the cold. Midsummer is hottest, so early tee times are worth booking if you travel in July or August.\r\n<h3><span class=\"hb-accent\">How many courses can I reach from Alicante?<\/span><\/h3>\r\nThere is a genuine cluster of courses within about 30 to 40 minutes of the city, which is part of the appeal. A hotel that arranges a multi-course package, rather than leaving you to book each round, makes it much easier to play a different course each day.\r\n<h3><span class=\"hb-accent\">Is it better to stay at a hotel with its own course?<\/span><\/h3>\r\nIt helps, because you can play without a transfer and often warm up on site. The strongest bases combine an on-site course with a package that also arranges tee times at nearby courses, so you get variety as well as convenience.\r\n<h3><span class=\"hb-accent\">How far is Alicante airport from these hotels?<\/span><\/h3>\r\nIt varies from around 20 minutes for the hotels closest to the city to about an hour for those further north near D\u00e9nia. Shorter transfers mean more time on the course, so it is worth factoring the drive into your choice.\r\n<h3><span class=\"hb-accent\">Is this list biased towards Hotel Bonalba?<\/span><\/h3>\r\nWe publish it, so yes, which is exactly why we have disclosed that openly, set out our criteria, and listed four genuine, well-regarded hotels alongside our own. Use the criteria, read recent reviews, and compare packages before booking.\r\n<h2><span class=\"hb-accent\">A Final Word<\/span><\/h2>\r\nThe best golf hotel near Alicante is the one that gets you playing with the least fuss: convenient courses, short transfers, and a comfortable place to rest between rounds. Whatever you decide, check how the golf is arranged and read recent reviews before you commit. If you would like a central base with its own course and a package that arranges the rest, you are welcome to <a href=\"https:\/\/hotelbonalba.com\/en\/golf-bonalba\/\">plan a golf break at Hotel Bonalba<\/a>.<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Best Golf Hotels near Alicante (2026 Guide) The Costa Blanca is one of Europe&#8217;s most reliable golf destinations: sunshine for most of the year, a cluster of quality courses within a short drive, and an airport at Alicante that puts it within easy reach of the UK, Ireland and Northern Europe.
