Meliá Villaitana is home to two 18-hole Jack Nicklaus-designed courses — the Levante and Poniente layouts — set in the hills just outside Benidorm with sweeping views across the coast. The Levante suits mid-to-high handicappers who appreciate room off the tee, while Poniente rewards more precise iron play and course management. Together they offer real variety across a Benidorm golf break, and the resort has previously hosted European Tour events, giving both courses a bit of pedigree.
Designed in the style of a traditional Mediterranean village, the resort has over 350 guest rooms spread across its grounds, most with spectacular views of the fairways or surrounding hills. Rooms feature 42-inch LCD televisions, minibars and free Wi-Fi. A YHI Spa, outdoor swimming pools, tennis courts and a fitness centre are all available on site, and the all-inclusive option makes budgeting across a longer stay straightforward.
With two contrasting courses and all accommodation, dining and facilities in one place, Meliá Villaitana takes the logistical complexity out of a Costa Blanca golf holiday. The resort is easy to reach from Alicante Airport, the atmosphere is relaxed and international, and the rhythm of a morning round followed by an easy afternoon by the pool suits golf groups and couples alike.
