There are golf resorts that are primarily about the golf course, and there are residential developments that happen to have a golf course nearby. Las Colinas Golf & Country Club is different. It has been conceived as an integrated destination in which golf, architecture, nature, sport, gastronomy, wellness and property are all part of the same lifestyle.

Set in a secluded 330-hectare valley in the Dehesa de Campoamor area, south of Alicante, Las Colinas Golf & Country Club combines a highly regarded championship golf course with a collection of luxury apartments and villas, sporting facilities, restaurants, wellness services and access to the Mediterranean coastline. The resort describes more than 200,000 square metres of natural space within the development, creating a remarkably green environment compared with many of the denser coastal urbanisations found elsewhere on the Costa Blanca.

For property buyers, the attraction goes beyond owning a home overlooking a golf course. The proposition is the possibility of owning a property within a managed, private and internationally recognised resort, while still being within easy reach of beaches, restaurants, shopping, airports and the wider attractions of Alicante and Murcia.

For golfers, meanwhile, the central attraction remains the course itself: an 18-hole, par-71 championship layout designed by renowned American architect Cabell B. Robinson.

For both groups, Las Colinas offers something increasingly valuable on the Costa Blanca: privacy without isolation.

Where Is Las Colinas Golf & Country Club?

Las Colinas Golf & Country Club is located in the municipality of Orihuela, in the province of Alicante, in the southern part of the Costa Blanca.

The official address is Avenida de Las Colinas, 2, accessed from the CV-941 between Campoamor and San Miguel de Salinas. The resort is particularly well positioned for people who want to combine an inland, private residential setting with proximity to the Mediterranean coast.

One of the most interesting aspects of the location is that the resort is only around 4.5 kilometres from the coastline in a straight line, while its elevated position within the valley gives many properties and parts of the golf course a sense of distance from the busier coastal developments.

The nearest major coastal areas include Dehesa de Campoamor, Cabo Roig, La Zenia and Villamartín, while the larger city of Torrevieja is also within convenient driving distance.

The location therefore gives residents two contrasting experiences.

On one side is the tranquillity of the golf resort, surrounded by hills, Mediterranean vegetation and open landscapes.

On the other is the very active Costa Blanca coastline, with beaches, marinas, restaurants, shopping centres, international schools, supermarkets, water sports and nightlife.

This balance is one of Las Colinas’ strongest selling points.

The Golf Course: The Heart of Las Colinas

The centrepiece of Las Colinas is its 18-hole championship golf course.

Designed by Cabell B. Robinson, the course has been created to work with the natural topography rather than simply imposing a conventional golf layout on a flat piece of land.

The result is a course characterised by elevation changes, natural vegetation, wide playing areas, strategically positioned hazards and views across the surrounding landscape.

It is a par-71 course, and the official Las Colinas golf information describes it as a layout designed to challenge and entertain players of different abilities.

That distinction is important.

Las Colinas is not simply a course intended for elite golfers. The design provides strategic choices that become progressively more interesting as a player’s ability improves. A higher-handicap golfer can enjoy the generous visual space and attractive surroundings, while a low-handicap player can focus on positioning, club selection and the angles into the greens.

The fairways are generally framed by Mediterranean vegetation and natural-looking landscaping, helping the course feel integrated into the valley.

This is particularly important aesthetically.

Many resort golf courses can feel artificial, with residential buildings dominating the experience. Las Colinas has made a deliberate effort to preserve the feeling of a natural landscape, and this is one of the reasons the golf course photographs so well.

The resort itself states that its golf course has received the World Golf Awards’ «Best Golf Course in Spain» recognition on five occasions. It has also been included among Europe’s leading golf courses in rankings published by Golf World.

These awards should not be the only reason to play the course, but they underline the reputation that Las Colinas has built within the European golf market.

The practice facilities

The golf experience extends considerably beyond the 18 holes.

Las Colinas has a natural-grass practice area, a large putting green and an approach area, as well as a short-game area designed by Spanish golf star Miguel Ángel Jiménez.

The resort also offers a golf academy and Toptracer technology, providing golfers with additional tools for practice and performance analysis.

This is a particularly important advantage for property owners.

A golf resort becomes considerably more valuable as a lifestyle proposition when the course is supported by serious practice and coaching facilities. Residents do not need to organise a separate trip to another golf club every time they want to work on their short game, putting or swing.

For experienced golfers, the practice facilities make it possible to maintain a regular training routine.

For beginners, the academy provides a route into the sport without requiring immediate commitment to playing 18 holes.

More Than Golf: The Las Colinas Club Experience

Although golf is the defining feature of Las Colinas, the resort has evolved into a much broader lifestyle destination.

The official resort directory currently includes a Golf Shop, Sports & Health Club, Racquet Club, tennis and padel academy, scenic trail, restaurants, WOW Beach and a minimarket.

This combination is one of the reasons Las Colinas is attractive to families in which not everyone plays golf.

Sports & Health Club

The Sports & Health Club provides a fitness and wellness component to the resort.

Facilities include a gym, wellness and beauty services, massage and physiotherapy, together with an outdoor 250-square-metre pool.

For people purchasing a property as a permanent or semi-permanent home, this can be particularly significant.

The modern luxury-property buyer is increasingly interested in wellness as part of the residential experience. A home in Las Colinas is therefore not simply about having a bedroom overlooking a fairway; the wider resort provides opportunities for exercise, relaxation and social activities without having to leave the development.

Racquet Club

The Racquet Club adds another dimension to the sporting lifestyle.

The facilities include three tennis courts, two padel courts and a multisport court suitable for activities such as football and basketball.

The resort also offers tennis and padel instruction.

This helps broaden the appeal of the development considerably.

For a family, for example, one person can play golf while another plays tennis or padel, children can use the sporting facilities, and everyone can meet later for lunch or dinner.

That is much closer to the concept of a private country club than a traditional golf development.

Restaurants and Gastronomy

Las Colinas also places considerable emphasis on food.

The resort currently lists several dining concepts, including il Palco, unik and umawa, alongside takeaway services and other food and beverage options.

The overall concept combines Mediterranean influences with international cuisine and locally sourced products.

This matters from a residential perspective.

A golf development can be beautiful but inconvenient if residents have to drive every time they want a quality meal. Las Colinas has attempted to create a more self-contained environment where residents and visitors can spend an entire day within the resort.

For owners using their property as a holiday home, this is particularly attractive.

Golf in the morning, lunch at the resort, an afternoon by the pool or at the beach and dinner without having to travel far creates an easy holiday rhythm.

WOW Beach: Golf Meets the Mediterranean

One of the more unusual elements of the Las Colinas proposition is WOW Beach, the resort’s coastal beach-club concept in Dehesa de Campoamor.

This provides residents and guests with an additional lifestyle environment away from the golf course.

WOW Beach combines a Mediterranean restaurant and infinity pool with proximity to the sea.

The current summer operation includes extended pool and restaurant hours, with the exact schedule varying by month.

This is an important part of understanding Las Colinas.

The development is not trying to compete with traditional beachfront apartment complexes by putting every property directly beside the sea.

Instead, it offers something different: a private-feeling golf and nature environment combined with access to the coast.

In effect, owners can choose between two lifestyles on the same day.

The morning can begin among the hills and fairways, while the afternoon can be spent beside the Mediterranean.

Living in Nature

Perhaps the most distinctive characteristic of Las Colinas is the relationship between architecture and landscape.

The resort is built around a 330-hectare valley, with more than 200,000 square metres of natural area highlighted by the developer.

Rather than creating a dense urban environment, the development uses the surrounding hills and vegetation to separate residential areas.

This gives many homes a feeling of privacy that is difficult to achieve in traditional coastal developments.

For international buyers, this can be particularly appealing.

A significant proportion of Costa Blanca property is concentrated around urbanisations where neighbouring buildings can be close together and streets can become extremely busy during the summer.

Las Colinas provides a very different atmosphere.

It feels like a country estate.

The soundscape is different, the density is lower and the visual emphasis is on vegetation, golf and open space rather than apartment blocks.

Property for Sale at Las Colinas Golf

For many prospective buyers, the most important question is simple:

What can you actually buy at Las Colinas, and how much does it cost?

The answer is that the market is unusually broad for a luxury golf resort.

There are apartments, penthouses, villas and larger bespoke homes, with prices depending heavily on community, size, views, orientation, condition, terrace space, swimming pool and proximity to the golf course.

The developer’s historical international information has described homes ranging from around €250,000 at the entry level to bespoke villas exceeding €2 million.

However, current resale listings show that today’s market is considerably more nuanced.

Recent listings demonstrate apartments from roughly the high-€200,000s through €300,000–€500,000 and well into the €800,000–€1 million-plus range for larger or exceptionally positioned properties.

For example, current listings include two-bedroom apartments around €379,900–€475,000, while larger three-bedroom properties can reach €585,000, €659,000 or more. Premium three-bedroom apartments and penthouses have recently been marketed around €829,000–€1.09 million.

These are asking prices rather than completed transaction prices, and the market changes constantly. Nevertheless, they provide a useful indication of the current range.

Apartments: The Most Accessible Entry into Las Colinas

Apartments are likely to be the most interesting option for buyers who want the Las Colinas lifestyle without the maintenance requirements and purchase price associated with a detached villa.

Current listings show a wide range.

At the lower end of the present resale market, two-bedroom apartments and penthouses can be found around €275,000–€300,000, although buyers should carefully check the exact community, condition, floor area, terrace and views.

A more typical range for good-quality two-bedroom apartments appears to be approximately €375,000 to €500,000, with premium examples moving considerably higher.

For example, recent listings include:

• approximately €379,900 for two-bedroom properties of around 88 m²;
• approximately €424,000–€475,000 for larger or particularly well-positioned two-bedroom apartments;
• around €585,000 for premium three-bedroom apartments;
• approximately €829,000 for a high-end three-bedroom apartment;
• and around €1.09 million for a luxury three-bedroom penthouse with substantial terraces and premium positioning.

The price differences demonstrate something important about Las Colinas property.

Buyers are not simply paying for square metres.

They are paying for the position within the resort.

A property with panoramic golf and sea views, a large terrace, premium finishes and a desirable orientation can command a substantial premium over another apartment with similar internal floor area.

What Should Buyers Look For in an Apartment?

For an apartment purchase at Las Colinas, I would focus on six factors.

1. Golf and sea views

Views can have a significant effect on both lifestyle appeal and resale potential.

A property overlooking the golf course and Mediterranean is likely to be more desirable than an otherwise comparable apartment facing another building.

2. Orientation

South, southeast and southwest orientations can be particularly attractive depending on the buyer’s priorities.

However, orientation should be considered together with views, summer heat and terrace usability rather than treated as an automatic positive.

3. Terrace size

The terrace is effectively another living room in the Spanish climate.

A well-designed terrace can make a two-bedroom apartment feel dramatically larger.

4. Community facilities

Different residential communities within Las Colinas have different characteristics.

Buyers should investigate swimming pools, parking, storage, communal gardens, maintenance fees and the exact position of the property.

5. Rental potential

A buyer intending to rent the property should investigate the legal and operational position before purchase.

A tourist-rental licence, community rules, local regulations and management arrangements should never be assumed simply because another property in the resort is advertised as a holiday rental.

6. Resale appeal

A property that appeals to owner-occupiers, golf enthusiasts and international holiday-home buyers simultaneously has a potentially broader resale market.

Villas at Las Colinas

For buyers with a larger budget, villas represent the premium end of the Las Colinas residential proposition.

Detached homes offer more privacy, larger internal areas, private gardens and, in many cases, private swimming pools.

There is also a significant difference between purchasing an existing villa and commissioning or purchasing a highly individual bespoke property.

The resort’s historical property information has referred to individually designed villas on large private plots, with some properties exceeding €2 million.

Today, buyers should expect the villa market to vary substantially according to plot size, construction date, architecture, views, pool, refurbishment and exact location.

A realistic broad framework for prospective buyers would therefore be:

Apartments: approximately €275,000 to €1.1 million+ depending on size and specification.

Villas: approximately €700,000 to €2 million+, with exceptional bespoke properties potentially exceeding that level.

These should be treated as indicative asking-price bands rather than formal valuations.

A property listed at €900,000 is not necessarily worth €900,000, and a premium property may achieve a very different price depending on its scarcity and buyer demand.

For serious purchasers, an independent valuation and review of comparable completed sales should always accompany an agent’s asking-price analysis.

Is Las Colinas a Good Property Investment?

The answer depends on what «investment» means.

If the objective is purely to maximise rental yield, Las Colinas may not necessarily be the obvious choice.

There are cheaper properties in the wider Costa Blanca where the gross rental yield can potentially be higher.

Las Colinas is better understood as a lifestyle-led property investment.

The buyer is acquiring a combination of:

• a luxury home;
• a private resort environment;
• access to golf;
• sports and wellness facilities;
• proximity to the Mediterranean;
• international connectivity;
• potential holiday-rental income where legally permitted;
• and the possibility of long-term capital preservation or appreciation.

That makes it more comparable with other premium golf and resort markets than with a standard Costa Blanca apartment.

For an owner who intends to use the property personally for several weeks or months each year, the calculation becomes much more interesting.

The property does not have to maximise rental income every month because part of its return is the lifestyle value generated by personal use.

The Surrounding Area

Las Colinas is surrounded by some of the most established destinations on the southern Costa Blanca.

Dehesa de Campoamor

Dehesa de Campoamor is the closest significant coastal area and is particularly relevant because of WOW Beach.

The town is known for its beaches and marina.

The official tourism information identifies three principal beaches in the Dehesa de Campoamor area: Aguamarina, La Glea and Barranco Rubio.

La Glea is a particularly substantial beach, extending for more than 500 metres and offering a wide range of services.

Barranco Rubio is located beyond the marina and has received the Q for Tourism Quality.

For residents of Las Colinas, Campoamor provides easy access to traditional Spanish coastal life: beaches, cafés, restaurants, marina activities and summer evenings beside the sea.

Cabo Roig

Further south is Cabo Roig, one of the better-known residential and coastal destinations in Orihuela Costa.

Cabo Roig combines a marina, beaches, restaurants, bars and a large international residential community.

It is a useful destination for everyday amenities and social life, particularly for international residents.

La Zenia

La Zenia is another major destination on the Orihuela Costa.

It is particularly famous for La Zenia Boulevard, one of the largest shopping and leisure centres in the region.

This gives Las Colinas residents access to a huge selection of shops, restaurants and services without having to travel to Alicante city.

La Zenia also has a popular sandy beach.

Villamartín

Villamartín is another established golf and residential destination nearby.

Its golf course and famous Villamartín Plaza make it particularly popular with international residents and holidaymakers.

For golfers, the southern Costa Blanca is especially attractive because several golf courses can be combined into a multi-course golf trip.

Las Colinas therefore works not only as a standalone golf destination but also as a base for exploring the wider golf region.

San Miguel de Salinas

San Miguel de Salinas lies inland from the coast and is one of the area’s traditional towns.

It offers a more Spanish, local atmosphere compared with some of the highly internationalised coastal urbanisations.

The town is particularly relevant geographically because the road linking San Miguel de Salinas with Campoamor provides direct access to Las Colinas.

For buyers who want restaurants, cafés and local services away from the coastal tourist centres, San Miguel provides an alternative.

Torrevieja

Torrevieja is the largest urban centre in the immediate coastal region.

It offers a much wider selection of shops, restaurants, medical services, schools and everyday amenities.

The city also provides access to beaches, a marina and a broad international community.

For permanent residents, Torrevieja can therefore complement the quieter environment of Las Colinas.

Beaches Near Las Colinas

One of the major advantages of the location is that the Mediterranean is never far away.

The resort’s own property material places the coastline at approximately 4.5 kilometres in a straight line.

Depending on the beach and route, residents can reach numerous coastal locations within a relatively short drive.

The nearby beaches include:

• Campoamor beaches;
• La Glea;
• Aguamarina;
• Barranco Rubio;
• Cabo Roig;
• La Zenia;
• Playa Flamenca;
• and the beaches around Orihuela Costa.

The coastline is one of the principal reasons the southern Costa Blanca remains attractive to international buyers.

A golfer can live in a green inland environment while still reaching the sea in minutes.

That combination is difficult to replicate in many European golf destinations.

Airports and International Connectivity

Accessibility is another major advantage.

The principal international gateway is Alicante-Elche Miguel Hernández Airport, which is approximately 40–50 minutes from Las Colinas depending on the route and traffic.

Alicante Airport is one of Spain’s most important tourism airports. AENA reports that it handled almost 20 million passengers in 2025, including approximately 17.5 million international passengers.

This is particularly important for an international property development.

The airport offers extensive connections across Europe, making weekend and seasonal travel considerably easier for homeowners based in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Scandinavia, Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands and other European markets.

The second major option is Region of Murcia International Airport at Corvera.

The official Las Colinas residential information currently places Murcia International Airport at approximately 45 minutes away, while Alicante is approximately 50 minutes away.

Driving distances are more useful than simply looking at kilometres because airport travel times depend on traffic and the precise route.

For property owners, having two international airports within practical reach is a significant advantage.

It provides flexibility when flight schedules or fares differ between Alicante and Murcia.

Access by Road and Train

Las Colinas is close to the AP-7 motorway, which connects the southern Costa Blanca with Alicante and Murcia and forms part of the major Mediterranean road network.

The resort’s own information gives Alicante at approximately 74 kilometres by road and Murcia at around 63 kilometres, with Madrid approximately 400 kilometres away.

For rail travel, the nearest high-speed rail options include Orihuela and Alicante, while Balsicas provides another railway connection.

This makes Las Colinas practical not only for international owners but also for Spanish residents who want a second home within easy reach of major cities.

The Lifestyle: Who Is Las Colinas Really For?

Las Colinas is particularly well suited to several types of buyer.

The committed golfer

For someone who plays golf regularly, having an 18-hole championship course immediately outside the property is an obvious attraction.

The practice facilities, academy and wider golf infrastructure strengthen the proposition.

The second-home buyer

For a European buyer looking for a secure, high-quality holiday property, Las Colinas offers a combination of privacy and resort services.

The owner can spend mornings on the golf course, afternoons at the pool or beach and evenings dining locally.

The family

The tennis, padel, multisport facilities, swimming pools, restaurants and beaches make the development suitable for families in which golf is only one part of the lifestyle.

The retirement or semi-retirement buyer

For buyers intending to spend several months of the year in Spain, the wellness facilities, restaurants, security, maintenance services and proximity to major towns are important advantages.

The luxury-property buyer

At the upper end, Las Colinas provides the opportunity to acquire a bespoke villa or premium penthouse in a recognised golf resort rather than a conventional coastal apartment.

What Makes Las Colinas Different from a Typical Costa Blanca Urbanisation?

This is perhaps the most important question for prospective buyers.

There are thousands of properties on the Costa Blanca.

So why pay a premium for Las Colinas?

The answer is the combination.

A typical Costa Blanca urbanisation may offer a swimming pool and communal gardens.

Las Colinas offers a championship golf course, a large protected natural setting, sports facilities, wellness, restaurants, a beach club, security, property services and an established international reputation.

It is also deliberately low-density compared with many coastal developments.

That creates a different feeling of ownership.

You are not simply buying an apartment in Orihuela Costa.

You are buying into an ecosystem.

Things Buyers Should Check Before Purchasing

The quality of the resort does not eliminate the normal due diligence required when buying Spanish property.

Prospective purchasers should investigate:

Community fees: Luxury facilities come with ongoing maintenance costs.

Property taxes: Buyers should calculate IBI and other local costs.

Rental regulations: Never assume that short-term rental is automatically permitted.

Tourist licence: If rental income is part of the investment strategy, verify the legal position before committing.

Orientation and views: Visit the property at different times of day if possible.

Construction quality: Particularly with resale properties, obtain an independent survey or technical inspection.

Management fees: Understand exactly what is included.

Insurance: Villas with private pools and larger plots can have materially different insurance and maintenance requirements.

Resale liquidity: The premium segment can have fewer buyers than the mainstream market, meaning that a luxury property should ideally be purchased for long-term ownership rather than speculative short-term resale.

The Investment Case in 2026

The current asking-price market demonstrates that Las Colinas has developed into a broad luxury property market rather than a single price segment.

At one end, there are apartments in the high-€200,000s.

In the middle of the market, buyers can find substantial two-bedroom and three-bedroom properties in approximately the €375,000–€600,000 range.

At the premium end, large apartments and penthouses can exceed €800,000 and reach around €1 million or more.

Detached and bespoke villas can move well beyond the €1 million level.

This creates an unusual opportunity.

A buyer does not necessarily have to spend €2 million to enter one of Europe’s recognised golf resorts.

At the same time, a high-net-worth buyer can purchase a genuinely substantial property within the same resort.

The key is to match the property to the intended use.

A two-bedroom apartment may be ideal for a couple who want a second home and occasional rental income.

A three-bedroom penthouse could suit a family wanting substantial outdoor space and sea views.

A detached villa is more appropriate for someone who prioritises privacy, garden space and entertaining.

Final Verdict: Is Las Colinas Golf & Country Club Worth Considering?

For golfers, Las Colinas is one of the most compelling residential golf environments on the southern Costa Blanca.

But the development’s real strength is that it has evolved beyond golf.

It offers a complete Mediterranean lifestyle.

There is the championship course designed by Cabell B. Robinson.

There are professional practice facilities and a golf academy.

There are tennis and padel facilities.

There is the Sports & Health Club.

There are restaurants.

There is a scenic trail.

There is a minimarket.

There is WOW Beach by the Mediterranean.

And, most importantly for property buyers, there is a carefully planned residential environment surrounded by natural landscape.

The location is another major advantage.

Alicante and Murcia are both accessible, the international airports are within practical driving distance, and the beaches of Campoamor, Cabo Roig and La Zenia are close enough for spontaneous trips to the sea.

For someone searching for a home on the Costa Blanca, Las Colinas therefore occupies an interesting middle ground.

It is private without being remote.

It is luxurious without being completely disconnected from everyday life.

It is a golf resort, but it is not exclusively for golfers.

And it is close to the sea without being another densely developed beachfront urbanisation.

From an investment perspective, the most important point is to recognise that Las Colinas is fundamentally a quality-of-life purchase first and a financial investment second.

Buyers who value golf, privacy, Mediterranean climate, outdoor living, wellness and an international community are likely to understand the premium immediately.

Those looking purely for the cheapest square metre or the highest possible rental yield will find cheaper alternatives elsewhere on the Costa Blanca.

But for the buyer who wants to combine a high-quality residence with one of Spain’s better-known golf resort environments, Las Colinas deserves serious consideration.

The current property market provides entry points from roughly the high-€200,000s for selected apartments, while premium apartments, penthouses and villas can extend well above €1 million.

That range makes Las Colinas accessible to a surprisingly broad spectrum of international buyers while preserving the exclusive character of the development.

Ultimately, the appeal of Las Colinas can be summarised quite simply:

Play golf in the morning, enjoy the Mediterranean in the afternoon, dine locally in the evening — and return home to a private property surrounded by nature.

That is the proposition that has made Las Colinas Golf & Country Club one of the most distinctive residential golf destinations on the Costa Blanca.
