Judges from the Golf World Top 100 Rankings have recognised La Cala as the 13th best golf resort in their recently published Top 100 European Resorts list.
The rankings also placed La Cala as Spain’s leading 4* Resort and the country’s third best Resort overall.
La Cala made a huge jump in the 2020 Golf World Rankings, a reflection of the significant improvements made at the resort in recent years. This year’s ranking of 13th is a recognition of the solidification of that progress.
The resort finalised renovation works on the Europa Course in 2021, as well as putting finishing touches to works on the Asia Course. And that all followed improvements made to the America Course a couple of years ago.
In Golf World’s ranking, La Cala scored particularly highly in the courses section and the judging panel referenced the completion of recent course improvements as being a factor in that.
Commenting on La Cala’s courses, Golf World said, “Few are as comprehensive in terms of courses, with 54 very evenly balanced holes at La Cala: America, Europa, and Asia. All have been renovated in the last four years, giving the golf a fresh look that so many resorts would be wise to follow.”
The panel also commented on the excellent amenities and dining options, stating, “There is a spa that is better than most in this ranking, as well as tennis and football. The large swimming pool will appeal to many and, thanks to the climate, you can be lazing around it for as many as eight months of the year. Another key attraction are La Cala’s restaurants; La Bodega’s tapas is our favourite in a very competitive field.”
Sean Corte-Real, La Cala Resort’s General Manager, said of the ranking: “We are very proud to place so highly in this prestigious ranking. It’s an industry benchmark and we are delighted that the efforts we have made in recent years to complete significant improvements on and off the course have been recognised by the distinguished Golf World panel. But we certainly won’t rest on our laurels. We will continue to work hard to offer our guests the very best facilities and service.”
As evidence of that ambition, the resort is currently making improvements to the clubhouse, extending the terrace area and improving the inside area. Recent improvements have also been made to the Panoramic Bar.
This is the latest in a series of accolades received by La Cala Resort. Golf World recently ranked La Cala as 73rd Best Golf Resort in the world. The venue also received an Outstanding Service Award from IAGTO in recognition of the efforts it went to provide partners and guests the highest levels of customer service throughout the pandemic.
