5 Nights, 4 Rounds
Hotel Palmasol Benalmádena sits right by Puerto Marina, so you're straight into that Costa del Sol holiday atmosphere, boats, promenade and plenty going on, without needing taxis every night. Rooms and terraces pick up plenty of Mediterranean light, and the beach is around 250 metres away, ideal for a quick pre-breakfast walk or a post-round dip.
On-site, you've got the essentials for an easy golf break: an outdoor pool set in the gardens, an outdoor jacuzzi for the "how did we walk 18 in that heat?" recovery session and an indoor pool as a handy back-up if the weather turns. There's also regular evening entertainment on the terrace or in the lounge, which gives you a bit of atmosphere if you fancy staying in, but you're equally well placed to head out into the marina.
From a golf point of view, this is a smart base for playing around Benalmádena and Marbella. You're within easy reach of courses like Chaparral and Santa Clara, with plenty more along the coast if you're building a multi-round trip.
If you want a comfortable, sociable hotel with beach and nightlife on the doorstep, and you'd rather spend the budget on tee times than on resort "extras", Palmasol does the job nicely.
Who is this for?
Golf groups and couples who want Costa del Sol golf with a lively marina base, beach access and easy evenings out.
Who is it best for?
Sociable trips that prioritise location and value, where the plan is to play good courses by day and enjoy Puerto Marina by night.

Rooms at Hotel Palmasol are set up with the basics golfers actually care about after a day in the sun: air conditioning, a flat-screen TV and reliable WiFi, plus a comfortable space to reset between rounds. Décor is simple and functional rather than flashy, which suits groups who are out early for tee times and back late from the marina.
The public areas are where the hotel earns its keep. The outdoor pool sits in the gardens with space to unwind after golf, while the outdoor jacuzzi is a solid bonus if you're playing a few rounds in quick succession. There's also an indoor pool, useful in shoulder season or if you catch an off day.
Evenings are flexible. If you're staying on-site, the hotel puts on live shows on the terrace or in the indoor lounge on selected nights, giving you an easy option for a low-effort night in. If you're heading out, Puerto Marina is moments away with a strong mix of bars and restaurants, so your group can keep things lively without organising transport.
For food, the Palm restaurant serves a varied international menu, making it a convenient option on nights when you want to keep plans simple. That said, being so close to the marina is the real win here, you can easily swap hotel dinner for seafood by the water, a quick bite before heading out, or a longer sit-down meal without factoring in taxis.
The beach is 250 metres away, close enough for a morning walk or post-golf swim, and the marina itself is right on your doorstep, packed with bars, seafood restaurants and late-night options. The hotel's location makes it easy to explore Benalmádena's nightlife or simply enjoy a drink overlooking the boats without needing transfers.
