For Golfers:
Golf Information: The Viila is ideally situated for the Golfer, with 3 courses within a 5 minute drive. Villamartin is the most established of the three local courses and can be reached on foot (approximately 500 metres away), the others being Campoamor and Las Ramblas. Villamartin is only a five minute walk from the Villa. The European Open was held here a few years ago and it is still a good challenge. The large Clubhouse terrace, which over looks a grassed lounging area and garden is open to all. There are two other courses within a ten minute drive. Las Ramblas is very steep with lots of rocky canyons to lose your balls in, and may not be suitable for everybody. Campoamor is very different, a nice lush undulating green golf course with a five star clubhouse on top of the hill, a fabulous terrace and restaurant with great views. There is a further selection of great golf courses within a half hour drive including La Finca and La Manga. Book courses via www.costagolf.com

Most of the local beaches are 'Blue Flag', which means that their cleanliness and water condition are regularly monitored and kept up to a very high standard. The nearest is at La Zenia, this is a nice mix of lovely soft sandy bay with loungers and sun shades to hire, a beach bar for cold beers and snacks, rock pools for the kids to explore, a life guard station and a bar/restaurant overlooking all. There are quite a few other seaside areas within fifteen minutes drive ranging from small rocky coves to a marina and restaurants at Campoamor.Immediately to the North of Torreveija Town, which has a very large marina and two beaches, is Guadamar.
