Marbella Golf


Marbella is one of the main tourist towns on Costa del Sol, Spain's famous Mediterranean Coast. Golf players from around the world visit Costa del Sol every year to experience the lush beauty, perfectly manicured greens and extravagance that Marbella golf courses offer. You can play a different Marbella golf course every day for six months and not run out of novel options.

Before you arrange your itinerary, let's review some of the most highly acclaimed Marbella golf courses. Guadalmina, a course designed by none other than José Banus himself, features both a north and a south course. The south course is generally regarded as much more challenging than the north course. However, both courses feature stunning views of the surrounding area and plenty of interesting obstacles.

The Guadalmina south course measures 6,504 yards and plays rather flat. Despite the course's even temperament, you wont want for scenery. You can spend all day gazing at the majestic Sierra Blanca Mountains, which rise above the Guadalmina. The north side features more rolling fairways. This course is slightly shorter at 6,304 yards, and it is also a Par 72.

Legendary golf architect Seve Ballesteros developed the Los Arqueros Golf Course to offer gorgeous vistas of the nearby Mediterranean Sea. This course is typically in excellent condition.

Its first destination was Marbella, Spain where the company’s head offices are located. Two years on, and Marbella Options controls a large percentage of the area’s hotel, villa and apartment business.

The outgoing Spanish speaking segment of the market has been relatively untouched for the Dubai/ UAE/Gulf region, and we are projecting 5,000 guests within the first year, increasing to 15,000 the following year.”
Heading up the Gulf Options operation is Anita Cremer, former Resident Manager and Director of Sales & Marketing for the One&Only Royal Mirage. “The reaction of our hotel partners has been wonderful,” says Cremer. “We are all excited to welcome a new market into our region and look forward to starting our operation with the support of all our associates, “
In addition, with the imminent introduction of the first non-stop service between Dubai and Sao Paolo, Brazil, clients based in the Gulf region will be able to take advantage of Latin Options, another new branch of Luxury Options that specializes in luxury travel to Chile and Argentina.

Rhodes continues, “We are now entering a frenetic phase of both consolidation and expansion. We continue to strengthen and grow our position as leader in the Marbella market and, using our proven business model, will use our extensive client base and presence in new markets to cross sell our portfolio of destinations. Our customer support teams and reservation systems will be harmonized, and with support offices in each of our destinations, we will have the local knowledge and on-site service needed to satisfy our guests.”

In addition to selling directly to almost 40,000 clients on its database, Luxury Options wholesales to over 732 agents throughout Spain, Germany, the UK, Ireland and the USA.

Luxury Options Expands Eastwards with 'Far East Options


Niche Operator Luxury Options Presents "Far East Options" as Part of Its New Global Expansion Strategy "Luxury - My Way"


MARBELLA, Spain--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Marbella based niche luxury travel operator Luxury Options(http://www.luxuryoptions.com) today announces that its new website "Far East Options" ( http://www.fareastoptions.com )has gone live.

What I mean is that everyone should have access to their own levels of luxury. Moreover, they should be able to build their own luxury experiences 'My Way' "

Nicholas Rhodes continues "When we started our flagship Marbella Options (http://www.marbellaoptions.com ) 3 years ago we saw that the public was very excited about booking online. They still do but we have now send the trend back to speaking to someone knowledgeable. The web is very important but for long haul, it is merely an excellent communication tool - potential travelers need to talk ! This was further confirmed when we launched our South American operation (http://www.latinoptions.com)

Puerto Banus Hotels


Puerto Banus manages to offer the paradoxical--a relaxed environment that's brimming with excitement. The vacation home for international film celebrities, industry mavens, and young hip fashionistas, Puerto Banus offers more amenities and activities than practically anywhere else in Spain. At the same time, the port city is remarkably charming, eschewing ostentation for a relaxed, intimate feel.

Thanks in large part to the efforts of former Marbella Mayor, Jesus Gil y Gil, Puerto Banus and the surrounding golf resort regions witnessed a spate of building activity in the 1990s. Despite the frantic development, the region was able to retain its flavor of parochial remove. It's no wonder that more and more visitors--ranging from golf enthusiasts to heads of state--visit Puerto Banus every year.

Of course, just because you're staying in the lap of luxury doesn't mean you can't cut loose. You can head down to the beach and windsurf, waterski, or relax at a bevy of well appointed beach bars. You can also traipse along the promenade, enjoy beach food and ambience, and catch a drink at the Ocean Club.

Despite all of these amenities and opportunities, it helps to have a local guide to clue you into hotel discounts, facilitate luxury requests, and point out last-minute entertainment opportunities. Marbella Options offers a full suite of services for the sophisticated Puerto Banus traveler. Check out the rest of our site Marbella Options for details on how we can make your vacation memorable.
