Andalusia’s Hidden Golf Gem

​

Tucked away on the Costa de la Luz, Precise Resort El Rompido feels like a true hidden gem. It’s surrounded by the protected Río Piedras marshlands, with no housing or development around the golf courses, which makes it feel peaceful and unspoiled. It’s a resort where golf, nature, and relaxation all blend seamlessly.

​

Arrival & First Impressions

​

The drive through the marshlands sets the tone—quiet, scenic, and different from the busier Costa del Sol. When we arrived, the resort felt spacious and welcoming, with wide terraces overlooking the courses and greenery everywhere you look. It’s relaxed and unpretentious, which immediately puts you at ease.

​

Rooms

​

We stayed in a Superior Room with a balcony overlooking the golf course. The design is simple and bright, with everything you need for a comfortable stay. If you’re here for a longer trip, the self-catering apartments are a great option—they’re set within landscaped gardens and have plenty of space for groups or families.

​

Golf

​

The golf is what really makes El Rompido special. It’s one of the only 36-hole golf resorts in Andalusia where the courses are completely free from surrounding real estate, so you’re playing in pure nature.

​

• North Course (18 holes, par 72) is modern and strategic, weaving through pine forests and protected marshland. It demands good accuracy off the tee but is still enjoyable for most golfers.

• South Course (18 holes, par 72) is slightly more forgiving and very walkable, with a mix of technical front nine and wider back nine. The greens are some of the fastest in the region.

​

There’s also a large practice area with a driving range, putting greens, and bunkers, plus a Golf Academy with multi-language PGA instruction.

​

After the round, the clubhouse is a great place to relax, with panoramic terraces and a casual restaurant overlooking the South Course.

​

Spa & Wellness

​

The resort spa is designed for recovery and relaxation. It has a thermal circuit with a heated indoor pool, sauna, steam bath, and sensory showers. Treatments include massages, facials, and local-inspired rituals designed to ease tension after a day on the course. There’s also a small but well-equipped gym if you want to stay active off the course.

​

Dining

​

Dining is focused on fresh, local Andalusian flavours.

​

• Binidali Restaurant serves a buffet with seasonal ingredients and live cooking stations.

• La Galea is a more intimate à la carte option, offering modern takes on traditional Spanish dishes.

• Poolside Bar is perfect for light lunches and cocktails in the sun.

• Lobby Bar is ideal for evening drinks or a quiet nightcap.

​

It’s casual and unfussy but with enough variety for longer stays.

​

The Overall Stay

​

Precise Resort El Rompido is all about tranquillity and golf. The courses are some of the most natural and peaceful we’ve played in Spain, and the resort itself is easygoing and welcoming. It’s perfect if you want to escape the busier golf destinations while still having excellent facilities and beautiful surroundings.

​

For a quiet Andalusian golf retreat with nature at its heart, El Rompido is a great choice.
