Map & location
La Cala de Mijas, Costa Del Sol, Spain
La Cala Golf Resort & Spa sits in the gently rolling countryside just inland from La Cala de Mijas, one of the Costa Del Sol’s original fishing villages. Here, you swap promenade bustle for birdsong, big skies and views across manicured fairways to the distant mountains.
The sleepy resort centre and beaches of La Cala are within driving distance, while lively Fuengirola and glamorous Marbella are close enough for a day of shopping, seafront dining or nightlife. Back at the hotel, the mood is all about sunshine, fresh air and unhurried evenings on the terrace.

Facilities
Pool & outdoors
The main outdoor pool makes the most of the resort’s hillside setting, surrounded by sunbathing terraces with loungers, parasols and a handful of Balinese beds (seasonal). There’s a dedicated children’s section in the freshwater pool, so families can cool off together, and towels are available with a refundable deposit.
When the weather isn’t pool-perfect – or you simply want a change of scene – the heated indoor pool at the spa centre is a relaxing alternative, especially after a morning on the course.
La Cala Golf Resort & Spa is set inland rather than on the beachfront; the sands of La Cala de Mijas and neighbouring resorts are around 14km away and easily reached by car or taxi if you fancy a day by the Mediterranean.
Spa, sports & wellness
Golf naturally takes centre stage here. You’ll have access to several 18-hole golf courses, including a championship-standard layout with an on-site clubhouse just a stroll from the hotel. Tee times are subject to reservation and local charges. Off the course, an air-conditioned gym (08:00–21:00) comes equipped with cardio machines, free weights and strength-training kit.
If you like to mix up your fitness, there’s a choice of activities such as aerobics, pilates, yoga, paddle, tennis, squash, mini-golf and snooker (most incur a local charge and may require reservations).
The spa is a real highlight: expect a thermal circuit with sauna, steam room, Turkish bath, whirlpool and the indoor pool, alongside a menu of massages and beauty rituals. The spa is typically open 10:00–20:00 with services and access usually reserved for guests 16+ and payable locally.
In the evenings, the resort puts on regular live music between March and November, so you can round off the day with a drink and some low-key entertainment without leaving the property.
Practical extras include a 24-hour reception with concierge-style support, luggage storage and currency exchange services (local charges may apply).

Food & drink
From relaxed fairway-side breakfasts to atmospheric dinners with Andalucian flavour, the dining scene at La Cala Golf Resort & Spa is far more varied than you might expect from a countryside retreat.
Club House Restaurant sits by the greens and keeps you fuelled from breakfast through snacks, lunch and dinner with a mix of international, British, Italian, Spanish and local favourites – ideal between rounds. Over at La Terraza, you can linger over breakfast or lunch on the terrace with open views of the resort.
In the evenings, you’re spoiled for choice. El Patio blends international and Spanish dishes with Japanese touches in peak season, while La Bodega leans into tapas and regional specialities. The Steakhouse (seasonal) turns dining into a bit of a show with live cooking and quality cuts grilled to order.
There’s a stylish Panoramic Lobby Bar for pre-dinner drinks or nightcaps, and a handy pool bar open seasonally for daytime cocktails and cold drinks by the water.
A smart dress code can apply in some venues and beachwear is usually not accepted at dinner. Restaurant opening days, menus and whether dinner is buffet or à la carte may change with season and occupancy, and reservations or supplements may apply depending on your board basis.
