Get the best green fees

Our first reason to play golf on the Costa del Sol this summer is perhaps the best especially if you’re looking to give your wallet a pleasant surprise. July and August mean low season for golf and that translates to some of the best green fees of the year.

Make that deal extra specially sweet with the Rio Real dynamic pricing system. It works on demand so all you have to do is check out the calendar and pick the green fee that suits you best. 

Stay in the best accommodation

As well as some of the best golf courses in Spain, the Costa del Sol also does hotels very well. Why combine the two and stay at a hotel on the golf course? Picture this – waking up every single day of your holiday with the course right outside your window.

Make that deal extra special when you book a Pure Golf package at Rio Real. The best accommodation in a boutique hotel (breakfast included) plus golf tuition giving you no excuse not to play golf on the Costa del Sol this summer. Take a look and book yours.

Enjoy those balmy evenings

Summer on the Costa del Sol means long evenings spent at a beach bar or your favourite restaurant, taking stroll along the seafront or enjoying a little something on one of the cocktail terraces. Or just contemplating the view from the terrace in your hotel room.
