Las Colinas Golf & Country Club celebrates 15th anniversary

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 – which is a worldclass.golf Premium destination – 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.
