The Bonalba Development
Bonalba is a quiet urbanisation located in the Sierra de Bonalba foothills 15km north of Alicante, a 10-minute drive from the blue flag beaches of San Juan and El Campello, 20 minutes from the airport and 5 minutes from J67 of the A7 motorway providing easy access to the attractions of the Costa Blanca Coast. It is centrally located for those wishing to take advantage of the many walking and cycling routes with the Alicante region.
The Bonalba complex has a well maintained 18-hole, par 72 championship golf course with has lovely views. The club boasts a golf academy with professional instructors, driving range, putting and bunker practice greens. The clubhouse is welcoming and relaxed and the restaurant is excellent-serving anything from coffee and tapas to full lunches and dinners. Next to the clubhouse the Spa area has everything to help adults relax and children have fun! The outdoor pool (open during summer months only) is set in tropical gardens with slides, waterfalls, "beach" area and snack bar and separate children's play area. The indoor caves/pool has a Jacuzzi and separate child area and is open all year, as are the gym, steam room and sauna.

There are three cafes open daytime; an "Irish" bar and a more upmarket coffee/cocktail bar, which remain open into the evening plus two restaurants for evening dining.

The area has something to suit every taste - from Benidorm with its fine sandy beaches and water and theme parks to the Roman archaeological sites of El Campello and Lucentum near Alicante. There are miles of blue-flag beaches along the Costa Blanca; hilltop towns and villages; the bustling and cosmopolitan City of Alicante with its restaurants and bars and museums. Alicante's famous tree-lined Esplanade opposite the harbour is probably one of the most appealing in Europe.
