Las Colinas Golf – Crowned Europe’s leading Villa Resort by the World Travel Awards

October 3, 2017 – Las Colinas Golf & Country was crowned ‘Europe’s Leading Villa Resort’ at the prestigious World Travel Awards ceremony over the weekend, whilst it also scooped ‘Spain’s Leading Villa Resort’ accolade for a third consecutive year.

Voted for by the public, the coveted World Travel Awards look to support, promote and develop the global travel & tourism industry by recognising and rewarding excellence. The ‘Leading Villa Resort’ categories seek to reward resorts that offer the perfect combination of world-class facilities, as well as leisure attractions and services that complement the state-of-the-art property on site.

Speaking after the lavish ceremony at the Russian Museum of Ethnography in St Petersburg, Cristóbal Guerrero, General Manager at Las Colinas Golf & Country Club commented: “We are immensely proud to be recognised for both of these awards – and in particular the European accolade, which shows just how far our property offering has come in recent years.

“So much credit must go to all of the staff at Las Colinas, as well as our management company Gmp, who work tirelessly to maintain our high standards and improve the level of architecture at the resort every year,” added Guerrero.

The resort, located south of Alicante in 330 hectares of Mediterranean woodland, has become a leader in attracting international leisure visitors and second-home owners to the region since its opening in 2010.

A host of impressive modern properties are currently for sale at Las Colinas Golf & Country Club, including two, three and four-bedroom apartments and villas with large gardens or terraces, parking and green areas with communal or private swimming pools. Apartments start at €245,000, with villas starting at €490,000.

The resort has also truly excelled in its high-quality gastronomy offerings. The UNiK CAFÉ and enso sushibar ensure that visitors and home owners alike benefit from real culinary delights, and the Beach Club overlooking the Mediterranean provides an ideal spot to unwind.

The Troon-managed resort also boasts Spain’s Best Golf Course (World Golf Awards 2015, 2016), and is one of Continental Europe’s Top 100 courses, having recently risen 23 places in the recent Golf World rankings. With tennis and paddle tennis courts, nature trails through 200,000 square metres of natural space and an International School of Falconry, there truly is something for everyone at Las Colinas.

November 17, 2016 – For the second year running, Las Colinas Golf & Country Club has been crowned as Spain’s Best Golf Course in the prestigious World Golf Awards that took place in Portugal over the weekend.

The highly respected awards, voted for by the public, saw Las Colinas hold off strong competition from the best courses in Spain at the lavish ceremony. The awards themselves look to develop, promote and support the global golf tourism industry by identifying and rewarding golfing excellence.

Since winning the title last year, Las Colinas, with the assistance of Troon, has ensured the course has maintained the high level of excellence needed for all golfers to have the best experience possible.

The category of ‘Spain’s Best Golf Course’ is judged on a wide range of specifications from immaculate course conditioning and layout, to exceptional front of house experience and service. Ensuring this was of the utmost priority throughout the whole year helped Las Colinas to top spot at the awards.

Silvia Llanes, Marketing, Quality and Innovation Director at Gmp, the Spanish real estate group that own Las Colinas, commented: “We are delighted to have won the title of Spain’s Best Golf Course for the second year running. We know the quality of golf in Spain is getting better and better every year, so it is extremely satisfying to have come out on top again.”

Cristóbal Guerrero, General Manager at Las Colinas Golf & Country Club also said: “It is a real testament to the incredible hard work everyone at the resort has put in. They all work tirelessly to ensure no stone is left unturned at the resort and that everyone who comes to Las Colinas truly has a ‘World Apart’ experience.”
