Services & Local Area

The Barceló Costa Ballena Golf & Spa offers a golf coordinator to arrange tee times at the Costa Ballena Ocean Golf Club, which boasts a driving range and par 3 course. The nearest bus station, Avenida Juan Carlos I, is a 23-minute walk from the hotel.

“What stands out here is the golf focus; the course, designed by José María Olazábal, seems genuinely top-tier, and practice facilities are extensive. For families, the kids' clubs appear well-organized, while the spa could be a draw for those seeking relaxation. I think it is a solid choice, especially for golf enthusiasts.”
