Golf
Villamartín (Orihuela Costa)
Villa Capitan sits right among the fairways of this course — Paul Putman's 1972 design and one of the most iconic on the Costa Blanca, an easy stroll from your door. 18 holes, par 72, threaded through century-old pines that have hosted the Mediterranean Open of the PGA European Tour.
Golf
Dehesa de Campoamor
A Pepe Gancedo masterpiece from 1991: 18 holes, par 72, cut through dry ramblas and Mediterranean scrub a few minutes from Villa Capitan. Technical and scenic, with the sea in view from several tees — the natural next round once you have played your home course at Villamartín.
Padel
La Siesta (Torrevieja)
Outdoor club in La Siesta Park, run by the Nova Pádel Torrevieja group. Glass-walled courts and a relaxed, local feel — a quarter of an hour from Villa Capitan towards Torrevieja and a good fallback when the municipal courts are full.
Padel
Torrevieja
Grey skies or a gusty easterly? Fifteen minutes from Villa Capitan you'll find one of the few fully covered clubs in the area: three top-quality indoor courts, plus a bar and terrace to celebrate the game whatever the weather.
Golf
Dehesa de Campoamor (Orihuela)
The most established club in the area, just nine minutes from Villa Capitan. Its par 72 unfolds between two valleys that block the wind and grant a steady microclimate for play in any season. It was opened in 1988 by Don Juan de Borbón.

Dehesa de Campoamor (Orihuela)
Cabell B. Robinson's 2010 layout, 18 holes par 71, twice crowned Best Golf Course in Spain (World Golf Awards 2015 and 2016) and ranked in the Top 100 of Continental Europe. A nine-minute drive from Villa Capitan and the regional benchmark for serious players.
Padel
Torrevieja
Seventeen minutes from Villa Capitan, this long-standing Torrevieja social club brings padel and tennis together under one roof. Its two open-air glass courts are made for relaxed games — more neighbourhood than tournament.

Pilar de la Horadada
Built for a family outing, a quarter of an hour from Villa Capitan in Pilar de la Horadada. While the parents rally on one of its seven glass courts, the little ones have a playground, table tennis and a café within easy reach.
Golf
Pilar de la Horadada
The newest course in the area, fifteen minutes from Villa Capitan on the way to Pilar de la Horadada. A par 72 laid out by Jorge Gallen in 2008, with modest green fees and a memorable finish on the 18th, ringed by water.
Golf
Algorfa
Pepe Gancedo's 2002 design in Algorfa, 18 holes par 72 and widely rated among the master's finest. It anchors a 5★ resort with hotel, spa and golf academy — the day trip to make when you want a full round away from the coast.
Golf
Entre Naranjos (Orihuela)
Inland among the orange groves, half an hour from Villa Capitan, awaits a signature design at a friendly price. Manuel Piñero, a Ryder Cup veteran, shaped this par 72 of rolling fairways and a large lake that sets the rhythm of the round.

In summer play early (tee-times before 9:00) or at sunset — the 13:00–17:00 window is very hot. Book your tee-time 2–3 days ahead in high season. Padel courts are usually rented by the hour (€16–22) and include floodlights. If you don’t bring rackets, most clubs rent them for €4–6.
Villa Capitan, a private villa in Villamartín surrounded by golf courses — minutes from the greens and padel courts, with a private pool with hydromassage for after the match.
