Anyone familiar with playing golf on the Costa del Sol will probably already be familiar with La Quinta Golf & Country Club.

Located just 10 minutes drive from Puerto Banus, and nestled in the hills above San Pedro, La Quinta offers golfers 3 separate nine hole courses, meaning that there are 3 combinations of 18 hole rounds. There is also a Manuel Pinero Golf Academy and pro shop on site.

In recent years, La Quinta has seen the welcome addition of the on-site 5 star Westin La Quinta Hotel, with its restaurants and bars, and the fabulous new spa, which added to the tennis facilities and kids´ club, nicely completes the offering of on-site amenities.

Property at La Quinta has always been one of the most stable investments on the Costa del Sol. Owned by the dairy company, Pascual, La Quinta made a stand of shying away from multiple investors in the boom years, so the market at La Quinta hasn´t fallen victim to particularly deep troughs during the current recession.

Having said that, there are some genuinely great deals available for anyone looking to buy a property at La Quinta at the moment, including two recent reformed 3 bed properties at La Quinta overlooking the lush fairways, priced at just €213.000 and €223.000 – outstanding value in such a great location.
