Costa Ballena, a destination where you can let your imagination fly
Costa Ballena is more, much more than an idyllic beach destination for your family to enjoy.
The Province of Cadiz is world famous as a tourist destination. Its fine sandy beaches on the Atlantic make this region one of those which, year after year, attract the enthusiasts among the distinguished group of visitors that come to camp in Andalusia. But one of the main attractions of Cádiz is in a spot between Chipiona and Rota: Costa Ballena.
You should not be surprised if one of the locals here sends you to 'Al quinto pino' as it is one of the leading restaurants in this Cadiz setting. But Costa Ballena is more, much more than an idyllic beach destination for your family to enjoy. This town has become the winter epicentre for golf for the national teams of Slovenia, Norway, Sweden and Denmark. The course has 27 holes designed by José María Olazábal where the level of exigence from tee off is essential to avoid the different bunkers strategically located along the course. Strength is important here but precision and accuracy are much more so if you want to end the game with a good low par result. And we guarantee that you will leave beaming from ear to ear when you finish this tricky but fun course!
But Costa Ballena Ocean Golf Club is much more than a golf course: it is a leisure centre where all the family are certain to have a good time. One of the most surprising elements is their Clubhouse, inspired by the small traditional buildings of the Doñana National Park, known as huts, which are perfectly integrated into the landscape. Simple on the outside, like the traditional houses that inspire it, the Clubhouse amazes visitors with views from its terrace over the Atlantic Ocean that are simply spectacular and unforgettable.
And for lunch? While we are relaxed in Cádiz, the Atlantic has prepared us some delicacies that you won't be able to put down. Its restaurant options are very varied and the Sandwich Club is a must for golfers that don't want to stop playing these 27 holes for even a second, so what do we recommend? Relax on its terrace, order grilled squid with green sauce and prepare to enjoy your senses, but remember, it's our secret!
