Set in the hills just outside Alicante, Hotel Bonalba is a classic Costa Blanca golf base with the big bonus of an on-site 18-hole championship course. If you like your golf breaks simple, I'd put Bonalba firmly in the 'stay-and-play' bracket: roll out of bed, grab breakfast and you're on the 1st tee. The resort leans towards comfort and convenience, 251 rooms, multiple pools, tennis courts and a health and beauty centre for anyone in the group who fancies swapping a back nine for a massage.
Location-wise, you're close enough to Mutxamel to get stuck into local bars and restaurants, but you're not right in the thick of it, so evenings can be as lively or as relaxed as you like. And because this is the Costa Blanca, you're also well placed to build a multi-course trip, with at least six other courses within around 25 kilometres. The region's reliable sunshine is a big part of its appeal, especially for winter-sun golf when UK fairways are waterlogged and greens are on temporary mats.
Bottom line? Bonalba works brilliantly for couples, small groups and mixed-ability trips that want guaranteed golf on the doorstep, decent off-course facilities and the option to explore more of the region without committing to long drives every day.
Who is this for?
Golfers seeking a Spanish break that combines an on-site championship course with spa facilities, family-friendly amenities and access to multiple nearby layouts. Ideal for couples, small groups and mixed-ability parties who want convenience, year-round sunshine and the flexibility to explore the wider Costa Blanca golf scene without spending half the day in a car.
Who is it best for?
Mid-handicappers and improving players who appreciate having a quality course on the doorstep, plus the option to venture out to neighbouring venues. Also suits groups looking for a sociable base with strong off-course facilities and couples who want to mix golf with relaxation and coastal activities.

Just 100 metres from the hotel, measuring 6,973 yards from the championship tee boxes, the course can be viewed as two distinct nine hole loops; the opening half is probably the more forgiving - although there are water hazards to be avoided, sound strategy and accurate driving should yield birdie chances. The closing stretch however is more exacting, particularly the final three holes, which are more exposed to the coastal winds and demand powerful and precise ball-striking.
Despite only opening for play in 1995, Bonalba is already seen as one of the premier clubs on the Costa Blanca, and any golfing getaway in the Alicante area should certainly include a visit here.
Hotel Bonalba's 251 guestrooms strike the balance between comfort and practicality. Each room comes fitted with satellite TV, high-speed internet, air-conditioning and a private balcony or terrace, perfect for unwinding with a drink after a day on the course. The layout is straightforward: clean lines, modern furnishings and everything a travelling golfer needs without unnecessary fuss. Room configurations cater to couples, families and small groups, with options that suit both short breaks and longer stays.
Dining is split between two on-site à la carte restaurants serving traditional Spanish dishes alongside international options. You've got classic paella, fresh seafood and grilled meats on the Spanish side, plus familiar favourites for anyone who prefers something more straightforward. If your group likes to mix it up, Mutxamel is a short drive away for tapas bars and seafood spots, giving you the chance to explore beyond the hotel and sample proper local dining without the resort mark-up.
Away from the golf, the hotel's facilities list reads well. There's an adult pool for serious swimmers and a children's pool for families, plus a health and beauty centre that includes spa treatments, massage and wellness options. If you're travelling with non-golfers or want a rest day, the spa is a solid option for downtime. Tennis courts are available for those who want a break from golf, and the hotel's position on the coast means sailing, scuba-diving and deep-sea fishing are all within easy reach for groups looking to add variety to the trip.
For golfers, the real appeal is the convenience. The championship course sits right there, no transfers required, and the 9-hole pitch and putt gives you a low-pressure option for practice or a quick evening loop. Buggies are available if you prefer to ride, though the course is walkable for anyone with reasonable fitness. The hotel also places you within 25 kilometres of at least six other quality courses, making it a strong base for a multi-course Costa Blanca trip. Whether you're sticking to the on-site layout or exploring the region, Bonalba gives you the flexibility to build your own itinerary without the hassle of long drives or complicated logistics. Practice facilities include a driving range and putting green, so you can warm up properly before heading out.

Hotel was nicely furnished with beautiful pool area The bar was dark but the Batman excellent. Totally understaffed one Batman to 400 on Valentines night. Restaurant good breakfast but unappetizing buffet on Sunday evening Overall a good hotel but don’t eat there at night. We had to as neighboring restaurants booked out.

Good and friendly staff. Spotlessly clean rooms, bathrooms and pool. It was rather quiet so lacked a little bit of atmosphere. Very good breakfast though and comfortable beds.

A very good hotel. Large bedrooms and public areas all of which are keep scrupulously clean. Staff are excellent and do all they can to ensure the comfort of guests. Minor criticisms that the evening buffet could be improved by offering a better variety of dishes and one morning a large coach party literally stripped the buffet breakfast of every morsal of food. Staff tried to cope but it was like holding back a swarm of locusts.

The room was comfortable. There was a large outdoor pool which was out of use in February. The dinner menu was quite limited and remained the same for the 4 nights we spent there. there were only a very few guests staying although the hotel was huge. We had to pay for parking!

We had a twin bed room with a view over the pools. The room is well appointed and the beds were very comfortable . The bathroom was more than adequate , would definately stay here again. Three minute walk to the golf course and a further to a parade of restaurants and wine bars.

Very clean (pool, lobby etc) and rooms comfortable. Food in the a la carte restaurant on 1st night disappointing although buffet on 2nd night was superb and breakfast everyday was great. Hotel was very quiet (not many guests) and presumably why the buffet was not available unfortunately. Staff were lovely.
