For buyers searching for luxury golf property on the Costa Blanca, La Finca Golf and Las Colinas Golf & Country Club are two standout options in the south of Alicante province. Both combine high-quality golf with contemporary villas, Mediterranean living and established resort amenities, although they offer noticeably different environments. La Finca Golf in Algorfa suits buyers looking for an accessible resort lifestyle with golf, restaurants, spa and sports facilities close at hand. Las Colinas, near Orihuela, offers a more secluded, nature-led setting with luxury villas and apartments integrated into a 330-hectare estate.
Why Buy Luxury Golf Property on the Costa Blanca?
Buying luxury golf property on the Costa Blanca isn’t only about having a golf course close to your front door.
For many buyers, the attraction is the lifestyle surrounding it.
A well-designed golf resort can provide landscaped surroundings, restaurants, sports facilities and a strong sense of privacy. Furthermore, owners can enjoy these amenities without giving up access to the beaches, towns and Mediterranean lifestyle that make the Costa Blanca so appealing.
Golf property can also work particularly well as a second home. Instead of worrying about maintaining a large stand-alone estate every time you leave Spain, a resort property can offer a more managed environment.
Most importantly, however, you don’t necessarily need to be a serious golfer to appreciate the benefits.
Many owners choose golf resorts because they value the greenery, low-density surroundings, contemporary architecture and lifestyle rather than because they intend to play 18 holes every morning.
For buyers who are still comparing different parts of the region, our Costa Blanca North vs Costa Blanca South guide provides a useful starting point.
Where Should Luxury Golf Buyers Focus?
The Costa Blanca has numerous golf courses and residential developments. However, when the brief is specifically luxury golf property, it makes sense to be selective.
For The AgencyRE Costa Blanca, two resorts are particularly relevant:
| La Finca Golf | Las Colinas Golf | |
|---|---|---|
| Location | Algorfa | Orihuela |
| Golf | 18-hole, par-72 La Finca course | 18-hole, par-71 championship course |
| Setting | Established golf and resort environment | Secluded valley and natural landscape |
| Property appeal | Contemporary resort homes and villas | Luxury villas and apartments |
| Lifestyle | Golf, hotel, spa, restaurants and sports | Golf, nature, restaurants, sport and wellness |
| Best suited to | Buyers wanting resort convenience | Buyers prioritising privacy and exclusivity |
Both deserve consideration. Nevertheless, visiting them makes it immediately clear that they provide different interpretations of golf resort living.
La Finca Golf: Resort Living in Algorfa
La Finca Golf sits within La Finca Resort in Algorfa, in the south of Alicante province.
The golf course opened in 2002 and is an 18-hole, par-72 course designed by Pepe Gancedo. The wider resort also combines golf with a five-star hotel, spa, restaurants and sporting facilities.
As a result, La Finca offers something that appeals to more than golfers.
For a second-home owner, having leisure and hospitality facilities within the wider resort environment can make visits particularly easy. For permanent residents, meanwhile, the surrounding area provides access to the everyday services and towns of the southern Costa Blanca.
The golf course itself remains central to the identity of La Finca. Moreover, investment continues in the playing experience: ahead of the 2026 season, holes 2 and 11 were updated with golf architect Tim Lobb.
From a property perspective, La Finca Golf is therefore worth considering for buyers who want contemporary Mediterranean living within an established golf destination.
Who Is La Finca Golf Best For?
La Finca may particularly suit you if your priorities include:
- A genuine golf resort atmosphere
- Contemporary property
- Restaurants and leisure facilities nearby
- A second home that’s relatively easy to enjoy
- Access to the wider southern Costa Blanca
However, the strongest reason to consider La Finca is its balance. You can enjoy golf as an important part of your lifestyle without making golf the only reason to own a home there.

Las Colinas Golf: Luxury Living Surrounded by Nature
Las Colinas Golf & Country Club offers a different experience.
Located in a valley near Orihuela, the resort covers approximately 330 hectares and has been deliberately designed around its natural environment. More than 200,000 square metres are dedicated to natural spaces, while villas and apartments are integrated into the wider landscape.
That sense of space becomes an important part of the appeal.
Rather than feeling like a conventional residential development built around fairways, Las Colinas places considerable emphasis on nature, privacy and low-density living.
At its centre is an 18-hole, par-71 championship course designed by American landscape architect Cabell B. Robinson. In addition, golfers have access to practice facilities and a 5,000-square-metre short-game area designed by Miguel Ángel Jiménez.
However, once again, the lifestyle extends beyond golf.
The resort combines its course with restaurants, a Sports & Health Club, racquet facilities and other services. Consequently, it can appeal just as strongly to someone searching for an exclusive Mediterranean home as it does to a committed golfer.
Who Is Las Colinas Golf Best For?
Las Colinas may particularly appeal if you’re looking for:
- Privacy and a lower-density environment
- Contemporary luxury architecture
- A strong connection with nature
- Championship golf
- Villas or apartments within a managed resort
- A lifestyle that goes beyond golf

La Finca Golf vs Las Colinas Golf: Which Should You Choose?
For buyers considering both resorts, this is likely to be the most important question.
The answer depends less on which golf course you prefer and more on how you want to live.
La Finca Golf has a recognisable resort character. Its combination of golf, hotel, spa, gastronomy and sport creates a convenient environment where facilities form an important part of everyday ownership.
Las Colinas Golf, by contrast, places greater emphasis on its natural setting. The 330-hectare valley, extensive green space and integration of homes into the landscape give it a more secluded feel.
Therefore, a buyer seeking convenience and an established resort atmosphere may naturally gravitate towards La Finca.
Meanwhile, someone prioritising privacy, nature and a more discreet luxury environment may find Las Colinas particularly compelling.
Neither approach is universally better. They simply suit different buyers.
What Type of Luxury Golf Property Can You Buy?
One of the advantages of searching within established golf communities is the range of property styles available.
Depending on the resort and current availability, buyers may encounter contemporary detached villas, apartments, terraces overlooking landscaped areas and new-build properties designed around indoor-outdoor living.
At the luxury end of the market, buyers increasingly look for features such as:
- Private swimming pools
- Generous terraces
- Open-plan living spaces
- High-quality contemporary finishes
- Views across golf or natural landscapes
- Privacy from neighbouring properties
- Low-maintenance outdoor areas
Nevertheless, the specification sheet should only form part of your decision.
Just as with a coastal villa, micro-location matters.
A property’s orientation, position within the resort, outlook, privacy and distance from facilities can significantly change how it feels to live there.
You Don’t Have to Be a Golfer
This is an important point.
Some buyers immediately dismiss golf property because they don’t play golf. However, that can mean overlooking homes and environments that otherwise fit their brief exceptionally well.
Think about what surrounds a quality golf course.
There is typically extensive maintained green space, lower-density development and a greater feeling of openness than you might find in a conventional residential neighbourhood.
Furthermore, established luxury resorts can offer restaurants, sports, wellness facilities and services that make day-to-day ownership more convenient.
For a non-golfer, therefore, the course can simply become part of the landscape.
The question isn’t necessarily, “Do I play golf?”
Instead, ask, “Would I enjoy living in this environment?”
Golf Property as a Second Home
Golf resorts can make particular sense for international buyers searching for a second home on the Costa Blanca.
When you only spend part of the year in Spain, simplicity matters.
You may want somewhere that feels private when you’re in residence but isn’t unnecessarily complicated when you’re away. Likewise, having leisure facilities and restaurants nearby means you can arrive and begin enjoying your time almost immediately.
This can make resort living especially attractive to buyers who don’t want every trip to Spain to involve maintaining a large traditional villa.
However, ownership costs, community arrangements and the services attached to individual properties can differ. Therefore, these should always be reviewed carefully before buying.
For the wider purchase process, read our How to Buy Luxury Property on the Costa Blanca guide.
Golf Resort or Coastal Villa?
For some buyers, the real decision isn’t La Finca versus Las Colinas.
It’s golf resort versus coast.
A villa in Moraira, Jávea or Altea offers a very different lifestyle from a home on a golf resort in the southern Costa Blanca.
Coastal buyers may prioritise sea views, marinas, coves and being close to established Mediterranean towns. Conversely, golf resort buyers may place greater value on space, landscaping, sport, security and having resort facilities nearby.
Neither lifestyle excludes the other, of course. You can own a golf property and still spend plenty of time at the beach.
However, identifying what you want to do on an ordinary Tuesday morning often helps more than imagining the perfect two-week summer holiday.
If coastal property is also on your shortlist, our Buying a Sea View Property on the Costa Blanca North guide provides a useful comparison.
Local Insight from The AgencyRE Costa Blanca
One mistake buyers can make is comparing golf properties solely by the villa itself.
A beautiful contemporary home may initially capture your attention. Nevertheless, when you’re buying on a resort, you’re also buying into the wider environment.
Spend time there.
Have lunch. Walk around. Look at the landscaping and facilities. Drive from the property to the places you’ll use regularly. If you play golf, experience the course rather than simply looking at it from the terrace.
Equally, think about the people who will use the home with you.
A keen golfer may naturally focus on the course. However, their partner or family may care much more about restaurants, wellness, privacy, beaches or other activities.
The right luxury golf property should work for everyone who will regularly spend time there.
What Should You Check Before Buying?
Once you’ve found a property you like, the same principle applies as with any luxury purchase in Spain: carry out proper independent due diligence.
Your lawyer should check the property’s legal status and relevant documentation. Meanwhile, you should make sure you understand the practical side of resort ownership.
In particular, ask about community arrangements, ongoing costs and any services associated with the property.
You should also consider orientation and privacy carefully. A golf view can be attractive, but buyers may differ considerably in how close they want to be to a fairway or shared areas.
Finally, visit at different times if possible. A property can feel very different in the morning, late afternoon and evening.
Why Work with The AgencyRE Costa Blanca?
Finding luxury golf property online isn’t particularly difficult.
Finding the right property is more nuanced.
At The AgencyRE Costa Blanca, we can help buyers compare opportunities at La Finca Golf and Las Colinas Golf alongside the wider Costa Blanca luxury market.
Importantly, that means starting with your priorities rather than trying to fit you into a particular development.
Perhaps you want a contemporary villa at Las Colinas. Alternatively, La Finca may better suit the way you plan to use your second home. Equally, after comparing both, you may discover that a coastal property is actually a stronger match.
Our role is to help you understand those differences, identify suitable homes and guide you through the purchase with local knowledge and international luxury property experience.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where can I buy luxury golf property on the Costa Blanca?
The Costa Blanca offers several golf communities, although La Finca Golf in Algorfa and Las Colinas Golf & Country Club near Orihuela are particularly relevant for luxury buyers. Both combine golf with contemporary property and resort amenities, but their settings and overall lifestyles are noticeably different.
Is La Finca Golf a good place to buy property?
La Finca Golf can appeal to buyers who want an established golf resort lifestyle with a broad range of facilities nearby. The wider La Finca Resort combines golf with a five-star hotel, spa, restaurants and sports facilities, making it attractive for both golfers and second-home buyers.
Is Las Colinas Golf good for luxury property?
Las Colinas Golf & Country Club is particularly suited to buyers seeking contemporary luxury property within a private, nature-led environment. The resort covers around 330 hectares and offers villas and apartments alongside extensive natural spaces, golf, sports, restaurants and other amenities.
Which is better, La Finca Golf or Las Colinas Golf?
They offer different lifestyles. La Finca has a more recognisable resort environment with hotel, spa, restaurants, sports and golf facilities. Las Colinas places greater emphasis on nature, privacy and low-density luxury living. Therefore, the right choice depends on the atmosphere and property style you prefer.
Do I need to play golf to enjoy living on a golf resort?
No. Many buyers value golf resorts for their landscaped surroundings, sense of space, contemporary homes and leisure facilities rather than the golf itself. Consequently, both La Finca and Las Colinas can appeal to couples or families where only one person plays—or nobody plays at all.
What golf course does La Finca have?
La Finca Golf is an 18-hole, par-72 course designed by Pepe Gancedo and opened in 2002. The course has hosted amateur and professional golf events, while parts of the layout were further updated ahead of the 2026 season.
What golf course does Las Colinas have?
Las Colinas has an 18-hole, par-71 championship course designed by Cabell B. Robinson. The resort also provides extensive practice facilities, including a 5,000-square-metre short-game area designed by Miguel Ángel Jiménez.
Is luxury golf property suitable as a second home?
It can be particularly well suited to second-home ownership because buyers have leisure facilities and landscaped surroundings close by. However, individual ownership arrangements vary. Therefore, buyers should understand community fees, services and ongoing costs before committing to a particular property.
Should I buy golf property or a sea-view villa?
That depends on your preferred lifestyle. Golf property can offer landscaped surroundings, sport and resort convenience, while a sea-view villa may provide stronger access to coastal towns, beaches and Mediterranean views. Visiting both types of property is often the best way to establish your priorities.
Can The AgencyRE Costa Blanca show properties at La Finca and Las Colinas?
Yes. The AgencyRE Costa Blanca has property listings at both La Finca Golf and Las Colinas Golf & Country Club and can help buyers compare suitable opportunities across the two resorts, as well as other luxury locations on the Costa Blanca.
Final Thoughts
Buying luxury golf property on the Costa Blanca can provide far more than easy access to a great round of golf.
For the right buyer, it’s about waking up surrounded by greenery, enjoying a more relaxed pace of life and having sport, dining and leisure opportunities close to home.
La Finca Golf and Las Colinas Golf & Country Club both offer compelling options, but they shouldn’t be treated as interchangeable.
La Finca combines golf with the convenience and facilities of an established resort. Las Colinas, meanwhile, offers a more secluded environment where contemporary property, golf and nature sit closely together.
The best way to decide is to experience both.
At The AgencyRE Costa Blanca, we can arrange a personalised property search across La Finca Golf and Las Colinas Golf, helping you compare the homes, locations and lifestyles rather than simply scrolling through listings.
