Resort details

Hacienda Riquelme is spread around a stunning, championship quality, par 72, 18-hole golf course designed by Jack Nicklaus and covering 175 acres.

The resort has 24-hour security for that extra peace of mind. The low construction density allows for vast expanses of open land with fairways, greens, gardens and lakes all of which add to the atmosphere of luxury and tranquillity. This superb development offers many communal pools, children's playgrounds, a golf clubhouse, on-site bar and supermarket and is just 5 minutes' drive from the traditional Spanish village of Sucina, which offers many other facilities, including shops, bars and restaurants

The golf club offers a driving range, putting and chipping greens and a fully stocked golf shop. The Nicklaus Golf Trail, is a circuit which will offer 9 courses within a radius of 25km. Four courses are already up and running (Hacienda Riquelme, La Torre, El Valle and Mar Menor) and each course offers a different character and level of play.

Hacienda Riquelme is on the site of one of the most important country estates in Murcia and is nestled just below the Columbard Mountain Range which provides a wonderful backdrop to the Golf Course. The resort has been built around the original beautiful Spanish Hacienda (country home), which is currently being renovated and will become the Commercial Centre and manages to conserve the charm and roman of the past with the luxury of the most modern of comforts.

The area is surrounded by citrus groves and beautiful rolling countryside, yet enjoys easy access to beaches, airports and the historic city of Murcia. Within a few minutes’ drive, you will be in the heart of several small countryside villages, all typically Spanish and offering a very different way of life to the stressful towns and cities that most of us are used to.

Local area

The local area, Murcia, offers plenty of activities for holidays, especially golfing holidays. The sandy, blue flag beaches are also ideal for water sports enthusiasts and local sports include fishing, sailing, diving, windsurfing, paragliding and swimming. Other activities include golf, tennis, cycling, rollerblading and horse riding. Mar Menor's sandy beach is also ideal for families as the water is calm, warm and shallow and depths only reach 7m. Walking is also popular along the beach promenade. There are plenty of cafes, tapas bars, palm trees and restaurants found along the beachfront also.
