Relocating to the Costa del Sol: Why Golfers Are Making the Move

Introduction

Sunshine, seaside views, world-class golf courses—what if this was your everyday reality? More and more golf enthusiasts from the United States, the UK, Ireland and across Europe are choosing to relocate to the Costa del Sol, drawn by its unique blend of lifestyle, affordability, and golf-focused living.

If you’re thinking about a fresh start under the Mediterranean sun, this might be the move that transforms your life. In this article, we’ll explain exactly why golfers are making the move to the Costa del Sol—and how Golf on Costa del Sol can help you do the same.

Why the Costa del Sol is a dream destination for relocation

1. A golf paradise like no other

The Costa del Sol is home to over 70 golf courses, making it Europe’s most concentrated golf destination. You can play a different course every week and still not run out of fairways. Whether you prefer luxury clubs like Finca Cortesín, tournament venues like Valderrama, or laid-back courses like Mijas Golf, the region caters to all levels and tastes.

And the best part? Golf is playable all year round thanks to more than 300 days of sunshine.

2. Lower bureaucracy, better lifestyle

If you come from a country with complex systems and rising costs (like the US, UK, Ireland or northern Europe), relocating to Spain feels refreshingly simple.

• Lower property taxes

• Easier bureaucracy for homebuyers

• Affordable private healthcare

• Excellent public transportation

• International schools for families

Add to that the Mediterranean diet, outdoor living, and a relaxed pace of life—and it’s easy to understand why people don’t just visit… they stay.

3. A strong and welcoming expat community

Málaga, Marbella, Estepona, Mijas, and Sotogrande all have thriving international communities. You'll find English-speaking doctors, service providers, and cultural events designed with expats in mind.

Whether you're retiring or working remotely, relocating here doesn’t mean starting from zero—it means instantly belonging to a community of like-minded individuals who share your love of golf, sunshine, and quality of life.
