Golf Courses at Melia Villaitana Golf Resort

Levante Course

The Levante course is the championship offering at the Melia Villaitana resort and with 106 bunkers and 3 lakes to navigate, it’s a tester. However, don’t be discouraged as five tee box options mean you can enjoy this course no matter what level you play at. The views on the course are special no matter what way you look. Some holes have a mountain backdrop and others have the stunning buildings of the resort, the course really has some wonderful views.

The 220-yard par-3 12th hole is one of the highlights of the round on the Levante course. This tricky hole is protected by four deep bunkers and the green is in a natural amphitheatre. A par here is a great score so if you make one, be happy and move on to the next! The Nicklaus Design team like to make long and challenging courses with a real American feel, this course definitely fits this mould.

The Levante course at Villaitana is ranked as one of the best courses in Costa Blanca

Course Information
Par 72
Designed by Jack Nicklaus
Opened for play 2005
Tees
White 6,884 yards
Yellow 6,317 yards
Blue 5,687 yards
Red 5,125 yards

Poniente Course

Nestled on the hillside and seamlessly blending into the wooded surrounds, the Poniente course is a beautiful track for an evening game or for those newer to golf. With four tee box options and shorter holes, you can take the kids around this course or use it to work on your own short game. It is one of those courses out there that just bring joy to your day as you play it. Wonderful pine trees and streams decorate the course as well as give you challenges to negotiate whilst you’re out there.

The 284-yard third hole is one of the gems on this course. It’s one of the tougher holes on the course with bunkers awaiting errant tee shots, but the views of Benidorm and the Costa Blanca make it an easy hole on the eye.

Facilities

Before you tee it up on either course you should visit the well-stocked pro shop and then hit the excellent practice facilities for a warm-up. The buggies at the resort have GPS so that you know how far you are from the green on each shot and so you don’t get lost when you’re on the course.

The range is a real strength of the Meliá Villaitana Resort with thirty bays and well over 300-yards to play with. Two putting greens are also on hand to help you where it counts most. If you just fancy a day of working on your game you could even get a lesson at the on-site golf academy. As you would expect with a resort as nice as this one, the changing rooms have an air of modern luxury and give off the impression of a great golf experience before you have even hit a ball.

After the round you can wash-up here before heading to the terrace that overlooks the sea. This is the perfect setting to discuss the good, bad and ugly shots from your round whilst sipping on something cold and refreshing.

Accommodation at Melia Villaitana Golf Resort

The hotel at Melia Villaitana is made up of 25 buildings and offers something for every budget. The architecture of the buildings at the resort will certainly impress you and with 455 rooms, you could have a large meeting here too, 99 of the rooms are the more luxurious “The Level” and are 5-stars. These spacious rooms come with private terraces and allow you to enjoy that extra luxurious experience.

The whole resort has a feeling of modern elegance about it and the 5 restaurants give you plenty of gastronomical choices to explore. From local cuisine to Mediterranean and from sophisticated a la carte dining to an international buffet, your taste buds will enjoy this destination as much as you do.

Food & Drink

Villaitana boasts a wide range of dining venues, ensuring a delightful culinary experience for its guests. From the interactive 'show cooking' restaurant, Casa Azul, to the conveniently located restaurant by the hotel's main pool, there are options to cater to various preferences. Indigo presents a traditional Mediterranean dining experience, while Ristorante La Trattoria offers an Italian-themed ambiance. To unwind in a more laid-back atmosphere, guests can visit one of the bars, such as the Papa Mambo Jazz Bar, where they can enjoy a refreshing cocktail and indulge in a light snack.

Leisure Facilities

If you need to forget about a bogey on the last hole then you should visit the incredible spa on offer at Melia Villaitana. This is a sanctuary for you to leave your troubles behind and maybe even loosen off your body with a massage.

For those looking for a break from the golf, there are many options. You could visit the nearby towns of Altea, Denia or Alicante, all within a short distance of the resort. To be more adventurous you could take a bike or a horse to the local mountains and see the region from a high.

If that isn’t enough adventure then there are also some great options for the true adrenaline junkies. There are water sports like kite surfing and sailing or you could take it to the skies and try paragliding. These are just a few of the activities you can choose from that the hotel can arrange for you.

How to get to Melia Villaitana

We upgraded at 60 euros per night the room we were originally allocated was fine but we wanted more space & golf view. We also purchased the food deal at 20 euros a night each but sadly the food was very disappointing. The resort is beautiful, clean, friendly staff & it was quiet just what we were looking for.

Lovely hotel and very good value for money. The room was comfortable, but we were put into the worst part of the hotel for views. We were on the ground floor and hidden in a shaded corner with no view. I called ahead to ask if we could get a room with a view, but the staff member I spoke to wasn't helpful at all. The service from staff was also pretty slow. Golf was great, I'd definitely visit again - I'd just want to have a room with a view.

This is the 4th time ive stayed here (booked with your golf travel), and is by far the worst stay all round. For a start, there were 3 single lads and we were promised a larger, triple room by both Golf travel and the hotel upon check in. Arrived at the room and only 2 beds in the room in a standard room. We called reception immediately and were told to go play golf as planned and it would be sorted when we returned. It wasn't sorted when we arrived back in the room. We called reception again and advised we were heading out for the night and could it be sorted on the 2nd day when again playing golf. Again it wasn't sorted. meaning 2 guys had to share 1 bed / set of bedding throughout the trip. On the 3rd day, we got up early to watch rugby world cup and decided to order room service as had missed breakfast times. Ordered 3 x sandwiches and thought would arrive quickly. Got a call 60 mins later advising room service would take another 20-30 mins and told it would be quicker if we came to collect. Which completely defeats the point of room service and information would be nice to know from the start. 35 mins later when room service arrived (so 95 mins in total), only 1 sandwich arrived. Waiter apologised, told us he would bring another 2 and give us it all for free. Arrived another 20 mins later. So almost 2 hours in total for 3 sandwiches. In a 4/5 star hotel. Which we didn't enjoy because of the situation and the fact we were now in a rush to get out. Got an apology for the food mess up, but never the bed situation. mentioned on check out but got told we got the food for free. Like we should be grateful. All round poor experience from a hotel ive always enjoyed in my 5 visits in the past.

The hotel is quite strange - set out as a Spanish village. The buildings which house the hotel rooms are very spread out (which is good, but if you have mobility issues or are lazy; not so good). The pools are simply amazing, at least 5 separate and absolutely huge. The complex is a 10 minute taxi ride from Benidorm (which should be avoided if you wish to retain your sanity). The golf courses are a 3 minute walk from the hotel. The restaurants vary; the included (for some packages) lunch / dinner seemed varied and OK (we didn't eat there). The Italian Casa Nostra was good. The bar food option was OK. Service can be very slow. There is entertainment every night in the square in high season (what we saw was excellent!). If you are a golfer, or a family with a preference for on site amenities then this could be for you. Looking for action - look elsewhere. The summer season is family dominated. The on-site conference centre seems to attract a lot of corporate events and stays (which had no impact on our holiday).

It's been a few years since my last visit here, and I found it to be much better now. It wasn't bad before, but the standard everywhere has been raised. Check-in and -out were easy and efficient, and staff were universally friendly and efficient and clearly motivated to provide excellent service. The bedroom was quite small but very comfortable, with good en-suite facilities and a balcony. Breakfasts were superb, with a huge choice of foods, eggs cooked to order, and great coffee. The bar had outside tables which was a pleasant place to sit and admire the architecture of the hotel.

Our room was in the 5 star section of this hotel & was large & well furnished & comfortable. It had a sofa, armchair & 2 desks, a well-stocked fridge & a separate dressing room & storage area. There was also 2 doors to an external terrace with furniture, which was excellent for sunbathing in November (20*C)! The beds were very comfortable & it was so quiet at night that your sleep was not disturbed.The staff were brilliant, & we ate an excellent breakfast each morning seated on the external terrace next to one of the swimming pools.

The Hotel is formed like a traditional village, with reception, a bar and shops around a square. Buildings were really impressive and gave a lovely atmosphere. Reception were excellent, very helpful with restaurants, taxis and an overcharge refund when someone charged a spa treatment to the lads room, when we were all out on the golf course. You can also have a 5* service option in a separate part of the hotel where drinks are included. Rooms were really nice, well looked after. 2 big pools, one with a beach. Poolside bar and restaurant, tapas restaurant, Italian restaurant, bar on main square plus small shop. Great views from the pools over the local area. Would definitely use this Hotel as a base again , play each course once , then book rounds on nearby courses. The hardest bit was that there wasn't anywhere to store your golf clubs at the golf centre... Only 200 metres from the hotel , but the transport wasn't always available ....the golf management could do with offering a golf club lockers. Again this may have been sorted, hope so.


Very helpful but occasionally a slow response in providing quotes. We chose it for its value and it delivered on that score.

We really enjoyed our stay and only 12 minutes from Benidorm. you can leave your clubs in a secure room down next to the start, saves dragging them back and forth. plenty of pools for a dip. Would return no problem.

Thank you for arranging the golf break to Melia Villaitana that my son and I have just enjoyed. When my son suggested the break a quick call to you was all it took for us to have some fantastic options, having made the choice of destination the booking was smooth and trouble free. The resort was perfect for us with everything we needed on site and reasonably priced. The contrast in the two courses made for an excellent holiday golfing experience. Unfortunately neither of us managed a birdie but plenty of pars and some quality father and son time. The odd gorse bush on my home course will hold no fears now after the spectacular challenges of the Poniente couse. We are already looking forward to our next holiday with you.

Played this course but had to wait 45 minutes at the 1st tee because the course squeezed in a group of 16 ahead of us. We gave up after the 7th hole. I let the team know though and they were excellent, they let us play again at 4pm and we could play either the Poniente or the Levante. Good service and a lovely course with some beautiful holes.

Round was going OK and we literally saw no one in front of us until approx. hole 10. All of a sudden there were 8 golf carts waiting on the tee. Apparently a society arrived late and just decided to play the back 9. Had to wait 35 mins on a tee which was frustrating. But got round quickly after this. Was a fairy hot day and got thirsty but didn't see anyone selling drinks all the way round. No vending machine etc either Green conditions varied A lot

An Executive 18 hole course, with 10 par 3's and 8 par 4's. Most of the holes are excellent, and the par 4's shortish (200-240 metres or so). A lot of risk on the par 4's. Buggies are a MUST on this course, with very long distances between several of the holes. The bunkers were very poorly maintained (not just unraked, but weeds growing in several). However, for a 3 hour round for a 3 ball, well worth a visit.

It's been a number of years since I last played the Levante and it was in great condition. The greens were lightning fast on our first day which made them extremely challenging. On some greens with a slope, a placed ball would take off down the green and, on two holes that I recall, would run off the green and into water, with no rough to catch them - that's harsh. Really enjoyed the course, though, we played three times and, on the third time, the greens were more forgiving and we all ended up taking 10 or 12 strokes less. A general point, and not the fault of the course or its management as they have signs displayed, but players were leaving bunkers unraked and didn't repair pitch marks. It made us wonder what they do at their home courses. We were each repairing three or four pitch marks on every green and we gave up on the bunkers after the first round and deemed them out of play, they were so covered in footprints. We'll definitely be back though!

This was a really good course, with excellent greens that were difficult to read, so you often needed 3 putts! Wayward shots were punished since you often could not find your ball, but the bunkers were good & easier to get out of. We really enjoyed our round of golf which took about 4.5 hours.

WE started our round at 11am on Sunday, & the course was very busy. As expected, many of the golfers were rather wayward, & so progress was very slow because it was easy to get into trouble & lose balls if you went into the lush vegetation or one of the many hazards. The only real disappointment were the standard of the bunkers, some of which were compacted white stone rather than sand.

Unfortunately most fairways and green approaches were being heavily sanded in preparation for a European seniors match and buggies were not allowed on the fairways.
