This long lost part of Andalucia boasts the best winter climate in Spain, making it an attractive all year round destination for golf, tennis and water sports. It is set in a dramatic desert landscape of rocks, arroyos, springs, and cactus, which border and punctuate the lush green fairways. Our villa is located in a small cluster overlooking the 1st and 18th fairways. Only 20 mins drive from the old Moorish town of Mojacar and 2 ½ hours drive from the ski slopes of the Sierra Nevada and with Almeria International Airport a mere 40 minute drive away.

The Indiana course is the first desert course in Europe and has been built to the full USGA specifications and quality standards of the now famous desert courses of Arizona and California. It presents unforgettable views of the rugged mountain ranges and golf of such a dramatic nature that it can be said to have taken not only desert golf but also golf in general in this part of Spain to a new level of excellence.

This villa is not just suitable for golfing enthusiasts. It is also ideal for families looking for a relaxing holiday in a superb environment. Visitors can relax and enjoy all the facilities of Desert Springs. The clubhouse boasts a very fine restaurant and lounge bar. The Crocodile Club adjacent the clubhouse, which is in an elevated location over-looking the entire course, offers a less formal dining environment, pool bar and Tennis courts.



 

There is no other climate like it; for this is Europe’s only desert, more akin to Arizona and New Mexico than anywhere else. This is really the Wild West! For this was the setting of many famous films of that genre, including Once upon a Time in the West and A Fistful of Dollars. The film set is now a great tourist attraction.

It experiences the most sunshine in Europe, averaging 9 hours per day and the least rainfall, 7 ½ inches per year. It also has the warmest winter climate in mainland Europe, average max. day-time 20ºC (67ºF) October to March.

The Almanzora beaches and countryside in the south east corner of Spain have escaped the weight of over development and mass tourism. There is no high rise development here and there never will be as the area is protected by strict coastal, environmental and planning laws. The local people, whose principal employment is fishing (the giant prawns landed in nearby Garrucha are famous throughout Spain) and agriculture, not tourism, are still warm and friendly to visitors.
