Commemorative golf tournament, Michelin-star culinary experiences, art, music and charity initiatives among the annual activities scheduled
On March 26, 2011, Las Colinas Golf & Country Club opened its doors in Orihuela Costa, Spain. Conceived around its 18-hole golf course designed by American architect Cabell B. Robinson, the project was created with a clear commitment to quality and excellence in its sporting, gastronomic and residential offering. Located in a unique natural enclave, carefully integrated and preserved, Las Colinas celebrates its 15th anniversary in 2026, firmly established as one of the leading tourist and residential resorts nationally and internationally, with a track record endorsed by numerous awards and recognitions.
To mark this milestone, Las Colinas Golf & Country Club has organised a year-long programme of activities, including the “15th Anniversary Golf Tournament”, to be held on August 1. In addition, the 2026 golf season will feature another major independent event: the well-established “Las Colinas Trophy”, which will celebrate its fifth edition on December 5 and 6. Likewise, on June 27, the “15th Anniversary Pickleball Tournament” will take place at its Racquet Club. Las Colinas incorporated this amenity into its offering in 2025, becoming a pioneer in introducing this sport to the region.
Another highlight of the 15th anniversary programme is related to the fine dining that also characterises this resort. The restaurant il Palco has already hosted two special culinary events featuring top-level guest chefs. Ferdinando Bernardi, from the Michelin-starred restaurant Casa Bernardi, presented an exclusive tasting menu on March 10. On April 14, Alejandro Ibáñez, chef of the restaurant Barahonda (recently awarded its first Michelin star), and José Dolera, chef of Las Colinas Golf & Country Club, combined their talents to create and deliver a unique gastronomic experience at the “Four Hands Menu” event. Meanwhile, Fabio Morisi, Italian gastronomic consultant chef who has collaborated with il Palco, will headline another culinary event on May 20.
In line with its founding principles of social commitment, the 15th anniversary programme includes two key initiatives. During the month of June, the “1st Charity Pickleball Tournament” will be held in support of the Association for People with Functional Diversity (ADIS). Las Colinas Golf & Country Club course will host the Spanish Golf Championship of the Spanish Federation of Sports for People with Intellectual Disabilities (FEDDI) on September 12 and 13.
This responsible approach is complemented by a firm commitment to sustainability and the protection of the natural environment, embedded in the project since its inception. The resort promotes responsible management of its green areas and golf course, with measures aimed at water efficiency, landscape preservation and reducing environmental impact, such as optimised irrigation and the use of electric mobility in its operations.
“Celebrating 15 years is a source of pride and, at the same time, a responsibility to continue offering top-quality experiences to this great community of residents and visitors. From the outset, the project was conceived with a long-term vision and a commitment to creating not just a destination, but ‘a world apart’, where excellence, sustainability and wellbeing are part of the way we understand Las Colinas Golf & Country Club,” stated the Director of Operations, Javier Rodríguez.
15 years offering a world apart
Las Colinas Golf & Country Club is located in a unique natural enclave on the Mediterranean coast. Structured around its award-winning golf course, the resort is conceived as a low-density tourist and residential complex, with homes respectfully integrated into the surroundings. Its development has continued to progress with new villa and apartment projects, always under the same standards of quality, design and respect for the natural environment that have defined the project since its inception.
In 2025, it once again revalidated its status as Spain and Europe’s Leading Villa Resort at the World Travel Awards, which recognise excellence in global tourism. In total, the project has received this award seven times at European level and nine times at national level.
In the same line of recognition, the golf course has been awarded Best Golf Course in Spain five times at the World Golf Awards and has been ranked among the Top 100 Golf Courses in Europe, according to the latest Top 100 rankings published by Golf World magazine.
The gastronomic offering is another of the resort’s pillars, with three restaurants — il Palco, unik and umawa — which have helped consolidate Las Colinas as a highly sought-after venue for corporate and private events. Complementing this offering is WOW Beach. Located on the seafront, the beach club is a benchmark during the summer season.
And 15 years of a strong charitable spirit
Over the past 15 years, Las Colinas Golf & Country Club has stood out for its strong social commitment. Among the initiatives carried out is the creation in Callosa de Segura of an inclusive football school for children and young people with intellectual disabilities, in collaboration with the Real Madrid Foundation.
It also maintains ongoing support programmes with the Association of Relatives of People with Alzheimer’s (AFA) in Torrevieja and with the Association for People with Functional Diversity (ADIS), which awarded Las Colinas the Corporate Social Responsibility Prize in 2023.
Furthermore, Las Colinas Golf & Country Club is the first and only golf resort in Spain to hold the Brain-Protected Space certification, which certifies that all staff have received specific training to act effectively in the event of a possible stroke, thereby reinforcing its commitment to the health and wellbeing of both employees and guests.
15 years with Troon
