GOLF - The Costa del Sol, or as it is more commonly known among the golfers who visit here each year, 'the Costa del Golf', is one of the most popular holiday golf destinations in Europe. Visiting golfers descend during the winter months, when the weather deteriorates in Northern Europe the Costa del Sol becomes a Mecca for those seeking golf in a warmer climate. The temperatures often reach the mid twenties even in the coldest months of December and January. The summer months although very hot during the mid day sun can provide the keen golfer with quiet fairways and more importantly on the Costa del Golf, this is the low season, when cheaper green fees and special offers can be obtained. Just remember to load up your bag or buggy with plenty of water!

There are too many golf courses to mention, but it is fair to say the nearest course of La Siesta can be reached within 2 minutes of the apartment and the Royal Spanish Golf Federation has confirmed that the La Cala Resort (only 15 minutes from the apartment), is the biggest golf complex in Spain. La Cala has three 18-hole championship courses and a top quality 6-hole par 3 layout making it the largest golf resort in the country. A further 10 excellent courses can also be found within a 10km radius of the apartment. Clicking on the link below will enable you to see a more comprehensive list of golf courses, which are easily accessed from the apartment. Happy golfing!!

TENNIS - Another popular sport on this coast due to its favourable climate. Many of the top hotels have courts for hire and there are numerous clubs to be found. One of the best clubs is the Tennis Club Del Sol only 2 minutes from the apartment and set in lovely landscaped gardens. This club also has a large air-conditioned gym, sauna and squash courts.

WATERSPORTS - Can be found in abundance at all of the resorts along the coast and include sailing, windsurfing, water-skiing, jet-skis, pedaloes and the good old ‘Banana’ boats. For those of you wanting to experience something a little different then Cable Ski might be for you. Cable Ski Marbella is set on a huge lake in Guadalmina, this attraction is either for those wanting to learn or improve their water skiing, or just for those who want a fun day out. The cable system pulls skiers around the lake. Each trip around the lake lasts about one minute but the cable can be set at a speed to suit your ability. Slow for children and beginners and faster for the expert skier.  There is a cafe bar, restaurant, sun loungers, swimming pool and ski shop. A great place to have a day out!!

HORSE RACING - Horse riding in the hills behind La Cala is a must if you enjoy this activity but if your interest in horses is strictly as a spectator, then the Hippodrome may well be for you. Recently built, the "Hippodrome del Costa del Sol" is just on the outskirts of La Cala (10 minutes from the apartment) and makes for a great family night out. The new racetrack is one of the best in Spain. Apart from traditional horse racing, there is live music on Friday and Saturday nights
