The luxurious “Country Chic” lifestyle of Flamingos Golf
In Marbella it is possible to choose any luxury lifestyle. There are those who prefer to reside in a spectacular beachfront villa or a modern apartment, and those who desire a quieter, but equally luxurious, lifestyle inland.
There is a way of living on the Costa del Sol that is linked to a ‘Country Club‘. These are very select clubs where you can socialise and play golf with exquisite associates. The ultimate expression of this lifestyle in Marbella can be found in the incredible residential complex of Los Flamingos.
This gated community, with breathtaking views, is made up of some of the most luxurious villas on the Costa del Sol. Security is a fundamental aspect of this gated community. Its 24-hour security service provides residents with a totally tranquil environment where privacy is assured. For the well-being of the residents, there are numerous sports and leisure facilities, including magnificent golf areas and a golf club.
Hotel Antara Villa Padierna Palace: an experience for the senses
The centrepiece of this private resort in Benahavis is the Hotel Antara Villa Padierna Palace. Next to Los Flamingos Golf we find this six-star hotel, of classic and Mediterranean style, considered by many to be the best hotel in Europe. It is a clear example of Marbella’s luxury and elegance. It is surrounded by a lush grove of trees, which can be seen from its spacious suites, while offering unparalleled services.
Inside you will find a wide variety of luxury restaurants where you can enjoy delicious flavours from all over the world. Highlights include La Veranda for dining in a truly palatial setting, La Loggia with its Mediterranean-inspired cuisine and 99 Sushi Bar with its avant-garde Japanese cuisine. A more informal option is La Pérgola, for snacking in the pool area.
Its gastronomic offer includes, despite being in the mountains, a “Beach Club” just one kilometre from the hotel. It is situated on a beautiful beach, “Playa del Sol Villacana”, in Estepona. With a casual Mediterranean menu, a striking decoration full of tall palm trees and a very distinguished atmosphere, it is one of the most impressive Beach Clubs on the Costa del Sol.
It also has an extensive terrace where you can relax with a cocktail or a cup of tea, while enjoying the warm Mediterranean atmosphere. On the other hand, its SPA is one of the most renowned in the south of Spain thanks to its first class services.
It is easy to guess why the former first lady of the United States, Michelle Obama, chose this wonderful place for her stay in Marbella in 2010.
“Los Flamingos Golf” is actually three golf courses
Villa Padierna offers three golf areas: Flamingos Golf, Alferini and Tramores.Together they have more than five thousand metres of play, a Par 71 and 18 holes in their design. Prestigious tournaments such as the “European Senior Tour” or the “Ladies European Tour” have been played on this course. In order to access the course, a 28 handicap is required for men and 36 for ladies (no handicap certificate is required if accompanied by a PGA professional).
Inspired by the very heart of Tuscany, the undulating golf area surrounding this palace hotel offers breathtaking views that, on clear days, allow you to make out the outline of the African coast. Golf is also played surrounded by beautiful trees such as cypresses, chestnut, olive, orange and pine trees.
The sports facilities at Los Flamingos Golf also include the Villa Padierna Racquet Club, one of the most distinguished racquet clubs on the Costa del Sol. It offers 22,000 m2 and has different paddle and tennis courts. With the little ones in mind, it also includes a “Kids Club”.
