Perfectly maintained, Las Brisas oozes quality from beginning to end. With strategically placed bunkers, plenty of water hazards and tricky raised green sites, Las Brisas is as much about position, both off the tee and with approach shots, as it is about length.

With a particularly scenic coastline and many top tourist attractions, Marbella is one of the Costa del Sol's most popular tourist resorts. Apart from the many sandy beaches and large selection of water sports, other notable tourist attractions in Marbella include the old town. Marbella's cascoantiguo, or "historic downtown", has several fascinating features. The casco antiguo‘s central square is the Plaza de los Naranjos (Oranges Square), to which all of its narrow cobbled streets eventually seem to lead. Filled with the orange trees that are one of Andalusia’s trademarks, its tapas bars and restaurants have sunny terraces on which to relax with a cold caña (small beer). The Muralla de la Alcazaba, remnants of an Arab-built fortification. Narrow, winding, labyrinthine streets characterise this typically Arabic town. This design is much appreciated by modern Marbellis as it provides a constant shade over the ground throughout the urban centre, protecting pedestrians from the harsh sun throughout the day.
It might surprise you to learn that Marbella boasts a world-class collection of Salvador Dalí sculptures. Ten of the Catalonian surrealist’s bronze works are spread out along the Avenida del Mar, a wide boulevard that leads down to the seafront promenade, and are free to view.
