One of the finest links-style courses in Europe, winding through Albufera's dunes and pine forest. Managed by Spain's Paradores hotel network.
El Saler is widely considered the best golf course in Spain and one of the great links-style courses of Europe. Designed by Javier Arana and opened in 1968, it occupies a stretch of land between the Mediterranean and the Albufera Natural Park. The course alternates between forested inland holes and exposed dune holes that test your game in the coastal wind.
Managed by Paradores de Turismo, Spain's state-owned luxury hotel network, it remains accessible to the public — no membership required to play, just a tee time and your handicap certificate.
